Dear Shareholder:

 

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Dryden Global Total Return Fund informative and useful. As a JennisonDryden mutual fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

 

Instead, we believe it is better to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and tolerance for risk.

 

JennisonDryden Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of three leading asset managers. They are recognized and respected in the institutional market and by discerning investors for excellence in their respective strategies. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC or Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA). Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) advises the JennisonDryden fixed income and money market funds. Jennison Associates, QMA, and PIM are registered investment advisors and Prudential Financial companies.

 

Thank you for choosing JennisonDryden Mutual Funds.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is total return made up of current income and capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 4.50% (Class A shares).

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

 

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

1 Inception date returns are provided for any share class with less than ten calendar years of returns.

2The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)–Unhedged (formerly known as the Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index–Unhedged) is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 21 countries that are selected based on market capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year. Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 68.32% for Class Z. Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 5.79% for Class Z.

3The Lipper Global Income Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper Global Income Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar debt securities of issuers located in at least three countries, one of which may be the United States. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 61.83% for Class Z. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 5.27% for Class Z.

4The Fund operated as a closed-end fund with shares being traded on the New York Stock Exchange from inception to January 15, 1996. The performance numbers that cover this period under the columns “Ten Years” and “Since Inception” do not fully reflect the higher operating expenses incurred since the Fund commenced operations as an open-end mutual fund on January 15, 1996. If these expenses had been applied since the Fund’s inception, past performance returns would have been lower. The performance numbers for the one-year and five-year periods do reflect these higher operating expenses.

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, and Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns, distributions, and yields in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2006, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

 

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden or Strategic Partners Funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

 

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses

you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 181 days in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (to reflect the six-month period).

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), is an open-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return made up of current income and capital appreciation.

 

The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in income-producing debt securities issued by the U.S. and foreign corporations and governments, supranational organizations, semi-government entities or governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities and short-term bank debt securities or bank deposits. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities denominated in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Security Valuation: In valuing the Fund’s assets, quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the then current currency value. Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or market on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such a day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Corporate bonds, U.S. Government securities and convertible debt securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be over-the counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange. Future contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on

such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values. As of June 30, 2006, there were no securities whose values were adjusted in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the valuation.

 

Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities-at the current rates of exchange.

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses-at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc.   27


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) Cont’d

 

 

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from sales and maturities of short-term securities and forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from valuing foreign currency denominated assets (excluding investments) and liabilities at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. companies as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political or economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on financial futures contracts.

The Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.

 

The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

 

Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The Fund enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the trade date and settlement value. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates with respect to securities, which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

Swaps: The Fund may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest and may involve payment/receipt of a premium at the time of initiation of the swap agreement. The Fund’s swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the Fund’s cost basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including any fees.

 

During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

 

Risk: Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.

 

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on sales of securities are

calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually. Foreign currency losses may reduce the amount of dividends of net investment income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in-capital when they arise.

 

Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign interest are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

 

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those amounts.

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Fund has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of

compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .65 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and .60 of 1% of such assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65 of 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

 

PI has agreed to reimburse the Fund in order to limit operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, and brokerage commissions) to 1.35%, 2.10%, 1.85%, and 1.10% of the average daily net assets, which amounted to $70,524, of the Class A, B, C, and Z shares, respectively.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, and C shares, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $9,400 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, during the six months ended June 30, 2006. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended June 30, 2006, it received approximately 4,900 and 3,400 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA would be incurred at market rates. The Fund pays a commitment fee of .0725 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The commitment fee is accrued daily and paid quarterly and is allocated to the Funds pro-rata based on net assets. The purpose of the SCA is to serve as an alternative source of funding for capital share redemptions. The expiration date of the renewed SCA is October 27, 2006. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. First Clearing Corporation, an affiliate of PI, serves as a broker/dealer. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Fund incurred approximately $37,700 in total networking fees. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, aggregated $170,950,622 and $179,295,456, respectively.

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, amortization of premiums and other book to tax differences.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2005, of approximately $16,692,000, of which $5,619,000 expires in 2008, $3,491,000 expires in 2009 and $7,582,000 expires in 2010. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. In addition, the Fund elected to treat post-October foreign currency and capital losses of approximately $1,059,000 and $740,000, respectively, incurred in the two month period ended December 31, 2005 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.5%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including

 

34   Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com


 

investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

There are 2 billion authorized shares of common stock at $.01 par value per share, divided equally into Class A, B, C and Z shares.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) oversees the management of the Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 7-8, 2006 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2007, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over one-year, three-year and five-year time periods ending December 31, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

 

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Director attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 7-8, 2006.

 

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and PIM, which serves as the Fund’s subadvisor pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

 

Several of the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

 

Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc.    


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

 

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and PIM. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisor for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisor, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadvisor. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PIM, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures.

 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and PIM’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and PIM. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and PIM. The Board noted that PIM is affiliated with PI.

 

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

 

Performance of Dryden Global Total Return Fund

 

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund had achieved performance that was in the fourth quartile during the first quarter of 2006 and performance that was in the fourth quartile over one-year, three-year and five-year periods ending December 31, in relation to the group of comparable funds in a Peer Universe. The Board noted that, although the Fund underperformed against the Peer Group during these time periods, the Fund had outperformed against its benchmark index over one-year and three-year periods. The Board further noted that the Fund’s underperformance against the Peer

Group was strongly influenced by the strength of the U.S. dollar, because the mutual funds comprising the Peer Group consisted of both hedged and unhedged strategies.

 

The Board determined that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

 

Fees and Expenses

 

The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisors to comparable mutual funds.

 

The Fund’s actual management fee of 0.637% (which reflects any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) ranked in the third quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing expense reimbursement, and also accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing contractual cap on Fund expenses (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees) of 1.10%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees were reasonable.

 

The Board further noted that during 2005 and continuing through 2006, several significant initiatives had been approved which, when fully implemented, were expected to result in cost savings and expense reductions for the Fund. In particular, the Board observed that implementation of an electronic registration statement desktop publishing system to replace the use of financial printing firms was expected to be completed by the end of 2006 and was expected to significantly reduce the costs borne by Fund shareholders for the production and filing of Fund registration statements. The Board also observed that new custodian arrangements had been approved, which were also expected to result in reductions in custodian fees borne by Fund shareholders.

 

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

 

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular advisor, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the advisor’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of

the subadvisor, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.

 

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

 

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisors to mutual funds.
