July 15, 2005

Dear Shareholder,

We present you with the semiannual report for Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six months ended May 31, 2005.

Performance

For the six months ended May 31, 2005, the Fund returned 2.10% on a net asset value basis, compared with the median return of 1.82% generated by the Lipper Global Income Funds closed-end fund peer group and the 1.47% return of the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (the “Index”). On a market price basis, the Fund returned –1.13% over the six-month period, versus the market price return of –5.42% for the Lipper median. (For more on the Fund’s performance, please refer to “Performance at a Glance’’ on page 6.) Around the close of the period, the Fund’s managed distribution policy was adjusted and is described further on page 5.

Over the period, the Fund did not use leverage. Leverage magnifies returns on the upside and losses on the downside, which can lead to wider dispersions of returns within the Fund’s peer group.

Investment Goals:
Primarily, high level of current income; secondarily, capital appreciation.

An Interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Uwe Schillhorn

Q:		How would you describe the global economic environment during the fiscal year?

A:		Global economic expansion continued during the reporting period, although much of this expansion was concentrated in the US as Japan and the Eurozone (the group of countries using the euro as their common currency) continued to lag.

		The US economy grew against a challenging backdrop that included energy prices that were close to historic highs, a continuation of monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and the geopolitical tensions created by the war in Iraq. Despite this, GDP growth was 3.8% in both the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. Overall, economic activity has been resilient.

		Economic activity in Japan and the Eurozone was more subdued. These economies grew by only 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2005. It is

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

		expected that activity in these areas will continue at the same pace, given the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) projections that Japan’s economy will grow 1.5% in 2005, and the Eurozone’s 1.2%.

Q:		How did the world’s bond markets perform over the six-month reporting period?

A:		Developed bond markets, as measured by the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (or WGBI), returned 3.53% in local currency, and 3.94% on a currency hedged basis measured in US dollars. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index—Global (EMBI—G), returned 5.86% during the same period. The EMBI—G consists of US dollar-denominated securities.


Q:		How did you position the portfolio from a duration standpoint?

A:		As the reporting period began, the Fund’s modified duration (a measure of price sensitivity to interest rate movements) was 4.0%. Since we believed that interest rates could move decisively higher as the year began, we shortened the portfolio’s duration to 3.4% in January in order to be positioned to take advantage of that rising rate environment. However, interest rate increases were subdued, so we managed through this interest rate environment by extending the portfolio’s modified duration to 4.5% by the end of May, which was still at the lower end of the portfolio’s usual 4.5 to 5% duration range.

Q:		What other strategic transactions occurred over the reporting period?

A:		In late 2004, we eliminated the Fund’s position in British bonds and increased its exposure to US bonds. We also established positions at the short end of the yield curve in Turkey and Russia, increased an existing position in Poland, and established new positions in Slovakian koruna- and Ukrainian hryvnia-denominated bonds. As Turkey moved further along in its efforts to join the European Union, our view on Turkish bonds evolved, and we reduced our holdings there, as our research indicated that the benefits of this potential historic event were already accounted for in the securities’ prices.

Q:		What was your currency strategy during the period?

A:		The Fund’s allocations to various currencies fluctuated, but at the end of May 2005, the bulk of the Fund’s holdings were in US dollars, with another significant percentage in euros, and the remainder allocated among various currencies, including the Slovakian koruna, the Mexican peso, the Malaysian ringgit, the Russian ruble and the Polish zloty. With regard to the US dollar, the weakening that was seen through the end of 2004 stopped, and the currency even regained some strength against the euro as the period closed. Elsewhere, a number of emerging market currencies found strength on the back of high commodity prices and relatively high interest rates that encouraged appreciation

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

		through carry trade, a strategy through which investors take advantage of “cheap” financing at the short end of the US fixed income market to fund long positions in higher-yielding assets in their home markets. Among the Asian-block currencies, expectations that China might revalue its currency led the markets toward strategic positioning in other regional currencies that could appreciate in tandem.

Q:		Which holdings or strategies generated strong results over the period?

A:		The Fund’s position in Argentine Bodens, Argentine debt created as part of the public debt restructuring efforts in the wake of their currency crisis, did well. These bonds became particularly attractive after the government’s default reduced its payment obligations, which, coupled with strong economic recovery, brought about an improvement in the government’s ability to pay these obligations. Investments in local market securities in Mexico and Brazil have also contributed to the portfolio’s performance, as they offer relatively higher yields than other, similar securities.

Q:		Were there any particular strategies that didn’t work well for the Fund?

A:		Credit events in the first five months of 2005 led to a spread widening in lower-rated securities within the portfolio. As we previously discussed, the US dollar recovered some of the ground it lost last year against the euro, and this correction in the dollar’s fortunes had a negative impact on the euro-denominated securities held in the portfolio.

Information Regarding the Change to the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy:

The Fund adopted a managed distribution policy in May 1998, which was revised effective January 2000 and again May 2005. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from January 2000 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 10% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday, unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distributions pursuant to the policy from 10% to 8% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. From May 31, 1998, through January 2000, the Fund’s managed distribution was 8% of the Fund’s net asset value as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of the month. Prior to May 31, 1998, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses. The Fund’s Board receives recommendations from UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. periodically, and no less frequently than annually will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made. The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.

To the extent that the Fund’s taxable income in any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value, the Fund would make an additional distribution in the amount of that excess near the end of the fiscal year. To the extent that the aggregate amount distributed by the Fund based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of that excess would constitute a return of capital or net realized capital gains for tax purposes.

The actual sources of the Fund’s monthly distributions may be net investment income, net realized capital gains, return of capital or a combination of the foregoing and may be subject to retroactive recharacterization at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year based on tax regulations. The actual amounts attributable to each of these sources will be reported to shareholders in January of each year on Form 1099-DIV.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on November 15, 1991 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with its primary objective.

In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of losses to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of Investments — The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

board of directors (the “Board”). All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time of such valuation.

Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Foreign Currency Translation—The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars using the WM/Reuters closing spot rates as of 4:00 pm London time. For purposes of calculating the U.S. dollar equivalent value of non-U.S. dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses – at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund may also use forward contracts to enhance income.

The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.

Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Futures Contracts—The Fund may use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and to adjust exposure to U.S. and foreign fixed income markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. The maximum amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or liquid securities 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 financial futures contract. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

Dividends and Distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Concentration of Risk

Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments,

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Investment Advisor and Administrator and Other Transactions with Related Entities

The Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global AM, under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets.

The Fund invests in shares of the UBS Supplementary Trust— U.S. Cash Management Prime Fund (“Supplementary Trust”). Supplementary Trust is a business trust managed by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., a related entity of UBS Global AM.

The Fund pays no management fees to Supplementary Trust. Distributions from the Supplementary Trust are reflected as interest income on the statement of operations.

Amounts relating to those investments at May 31, 2005 and for the period then ended are summarized as follows:

Fund	Purchases	Sales Proceeds	Interest Income	Value	% of Net Assets

UBS Supplementary Trust —
U.S. Cash Management Prime Fund	$84,196,880	$83,047,071	$94,507	$7,110,274	3.26	%

Additional Information Regarding Compensation to Affiliate of a Board Member

Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in his becoming an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. UBS Global AM may execute Fund portfolio transactions through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended May 31, 2005, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $4,052,928. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these

trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Capital Stock

There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 18,258,828 shares outstanding at May 31, 2005. For the six months ended May 31, 2005 and the year ended November 30, 2004, the Fund did not repurchase any shares of common stock.

For the period September 17, 1998 (commencement of repurchase program) through November 30, 2001, the Fund repurchased 3,148,300 shares of common stock at an average market price per share of $10.74 and a weighted average discount from net asset value of 12.54%. At May 31, 2005, paid-in-capital has been reduced by the cost of $34,013,476 of capital stock repurchased.

Purchase and Sales of Securities

For the six months ended May 31, 2005, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $146,680,685 and $167,265,260, respectively.

Federal Tax Status

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:		2004

Net investment income	$	23,479,026

At November 30, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	11,552,421

Undistributed long-term capital gains		5,773,744

Other loss deferrals		(532,637	)

Net unrealized appreciation		13,296,635

Total accumulated earnings	$	30,090,163

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The tax character of distributions paid and the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be calculated after the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2005.

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004, the Fund had no capital loss carry-forwards to offset current year gains.

For federal income tax purposes, which was substantially the same for book purposes, the tax cost of investments and components of net unrealized appreciation of investments at May 31, 2005 were as follows:

Tax cost of investments	$	206,995,455


Gross appreciation (investments having an excess of value over cost)		11,504,980

Gross depreciation (investments having an excess of cost over value)		(3,286,139	)

Net unrealized appreciation of investments	$	8,218,841

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended November 30, 2004, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $19,993,188 and accumulated net realized gain from investment activities was decreased by $19,993,188. These differences were primarily due to tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses and premium adjustments for certain debt obligations.

Financial Highlights

*		Annualized.
@		Calculated using average monthly shares outstanding for the year.
1		Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 purchase of common stock at the market price on the first day of each period reported and a sale at the market price on the last day of each period reported, and assuming reinvestment of dividends and other distributions at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions and has not been annualized for the period less than one year. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or sale of Fund shares.
2		The actual source of the Fund’s fiscal year 2005 dividends/distributions may be net investment income, net realized capital gains, return of capital or a combination of the foregoing and may be subject to retroactive recharacterization at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year based on tax regulations. Shareholders will be informed of the tax characteristics of dividends/distributions after the close of the 2005 fiscal year.
†		As required, effective as of December 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Investment Companies, and began amortizing premiums on debt securities for financial statement reporting purposes only. The effect of this change for the year ended November 30, 2002 was to decrease net investment income per share by $0.06, increase net realized and unrealized gains from investment and foreign currency activities per share by $0.06, and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 4.82% to 4.37%. Per share ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to December 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

Quarterly Form N-Q Portfolio Schedule

The Fund will file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Record

You may obtain a description of the Fund’s proxy voting policies and procedures (and information regarding how the Fund voted any proxies related to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2004), without charge, upon request by contacting the Fund directly at 1-800-647-1568, online on the Fund’s Web site: www.ubs.com/ubsglobalam-proxy, or on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Web site (http://www.sec.gov).

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless such shareholders elect to receive cash. Shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the name of another broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan. The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records. An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend will be equal to the result obtained by dividing

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General Information (unaudited)

the amount of the dividend payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan may also be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-800-331-1710.

Distribution Policy

The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in May 1998, which was revised effective January 2000 and again May 2005. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from January 2000 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 10% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday, unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distributions pursuant to the policy from 10% to 8% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. From May 31, 1998, through January 2000, the Fund’s managed distribution was 8% of the Fund’s net asset value as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of the month. Prior to May 31, 1998, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses. The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.

To the extent that the Fund’s taxable income in any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value, the Fund would make an additional distribution in the amount of that excess near the end

of the fiscal year. To the extent that the aggregate amount distributed by the Fund (based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value) exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of that excess would constitute a return of capital or net realized capital gains for tax purposes. From time to time, the Fund may project that a portion of a monthly distribution may consist of a return of capital based on information available at that time. Such an estimate is subject to change based on the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year. The actual sources of the Fund’s distributions may be net investment income, net realized capital gains, return of capital or a combination of the foregoing and may be subject to retroactive recharacterization at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year based on tax regulations. The actual amounts attributable to each of the sources will be reported to each shareholder in January of a year on Form 1099-DIV.

Monthly distributions based on a fixed percentage of the Fund’s net asset value may require the Fund to make multiple distributions of long-term capital gains during a single fiscal year. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission that enables it to do so. The Fund’s Board will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made no less frequently than annually.
