Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

January 15, 2008

Dear shareholder,
This report provides an overview of the performance of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the 12 months ended November 30, 2007.

Performance
Over the 12 months ended November 30, 2007, the Fund returned 4.22% on a net asset value basis, compared with the 5.52% median net asset value return for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Global Income Funds, and the 8.45% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Strategic Global Benchmark(1) (the “Benchmark”). On a market price basis, the Fund declined 3.45% over the 12-month period, compared with its Lipper peer group’s median market price decline of 0.74% over the same time period. (For more on performance, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 7.)

The Fund did not use leverage during the reporting period. That is, the Fund did not have preferred stock outstanding or borrow from banks for investment purposes as some of its peers may have done. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside, and creates a wider range of returns within the Fund’s peer group.

The Fund traded at a premium to its net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the first half of the reporting period, but began trading at a discount to its NAV as the markets grew more turbulent in late June 2007. We believe that this reversal—which was seen in a majority of fixed income closed-end fund categories—was partly due to that fact that investors sold off shares to move into what they perceived to be safer investments.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

The difference in the Fund’s market price and net asset value performance relative to its Lipper peer group medians can be explained, in part, by looking at where the Fund stood relative to its peers at the beginning and ending of the reporting period. At the beginning, the Fund was trading at a slight premium. By the end of the reporting period, however, the market price of its shares was lower than the Fund’s NAV per share, like many of its peers.

A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV. Alternately, a fund trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its NAV. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding.

An interview with Portfolio Manager Uwe Schillhorn
Q. How would you describe the global economic environment during the reporting period?
A. The US economy appeared to strengthen during much of the reporting period. US gross domestic product (“GDP”) expanded only 0.6% during the first quarter of 2007—the slowest growth rate in the US since the fourth quarter of 2002. The US economy then picked up steam in the second quarter, boosted by improving manufacturing activity. During this period, GDP growth was a solid 3.8%. The Commerce Department then reported that its final estimate for third quarter US GDP growth was 4.9%. Despite the weak housing market, the issues related to subprime mortgages, and tighter credit conditions, overall economic growth remained robust. This was due in part to strong consumer spending and increased exports. While initial fourth quarter GDP figures will not be released until the end of January 2008, US economic growth is expected to moderate significantly.
   
  Overseas, economic news was mixed. After holding up relatively well for much of the period, growth in Europe was dampened by troubles in the US housing market, the strong euro, and high oil prices. In November, the European Commission reduced its growth forecast for the region in 2008 from 2.5% to 2.2%. Japan’s economy appeared to lose momentum during the reporting period. Economic forecasts for the country were scaled back due to weakness in the housing market, tepid consumer spending and high energy prices.

  In sharp contrast, economic growth in many emerging markets countries was robust. For example, China’s economy continued to expand at a double-digit pace despite efforts by the government to temper growth by raising interest rates. India’s economy also continued to grow rapidly, triggering a tighter monetary policy in that country.
   
Q. How did the world’s bond markets perform over the reporting period?
A. The global bond markets experienced periods of significant volatility during the reporting period. In the US and other developed markets, bond prices fluctuated in response to changing expectations regarding economic growth, inflation and central bank monetary policies. Issues related to the bursting of the housing bubble and the subprime mortgage meltdown triggered several “flights to quality” over the reporting period. During those times, investors flocked to the relative safety of high-quality government bonds, and largely shunned lower-quality fixed income securities.
   
  In the US, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) lowered short-term interest rates in September, October and December 2007. At the time of this writing, the federal funds rate stood at 4.25%, its lowest level since December 2005. Since last raising rates in June 2007, the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) has kept rates at 4.0%. Despite calls for lowering rates given the issues in the credit markets, the ECB has remained on hold, citing inflationary concerns. In the UK, the Bank of England lowered rates from 5.75% to 5.50% in December 2007, its first rate cut in two years.
   
  Emerging markets debt generally performed well during the first half of the reporting period. Volatility then increased in June 2007, as concern over the US subprime mortgage market spilled over into global capital markets. This caused emerging markets debt prices to fall in June and July. However, their prices began to rebound in August, and stayed buoyant for much of the remainder of the reporting period. This rally was triggered when major central banks added liquidity to the marketplace to combat the global credit crunch.
   
Q. How did you position the portfolio from a duration standpoint?
A. We kept the Fund’s duration—which measures its sensitivity to interest rate change—lower than its benchmark throughout most of the reporting period. To help manage the Fund’s level of risk, we lowered the duration in response to the market volatility that prevailed during the latter half of the reporting period. As a result, the Fund’s duration

  positioning did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance over the reporting period.
   
Q. Which currency strategies did you use during the period?
A. The currencies of developing countries performed well relative to the US dollar and the currencies of other developed countries during the reporting period. In particular, currencies of higher-yielding countries strengthened during the period.
   
  In this environment, we used a “carry trade” strategy in an effort to enhance returns. The carry of an asset is the return obtained from holding it (or the cost of holding it, if the asset’s return is negative). In a carry trade strategy, an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate, and uses those funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. Currency exposures benefiting the Fund’s performance included the Brazilian real, Dominican Republic peso, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and the Turkish lira. In contrast, the Argentine peso weakened during the reporting period, and the Fund’s exposure to the peso detracted from performance.
   
Q. Which holdings or strategies generated strong results over the period?
A. The weakness of the US dollar meant that the Fund’s exposure to euro-denominated investments in several European countries, particularly Germany, helped performance. As mentioned earlier, investments in Brazil and Turkey performed well for the Fund during the reporting period. Both countries have offered some of the highest yields among the emerging markets countries for quite some time, and have drawn important capital inflows. We reduced our positions in both countries, realizing gains for the Fund. In addition, the yields from a few other currencies not tied to the US dollar continued to be very attractive.
   
Q. Were there any particular strategies that didn’t work well for the Fund?
A. The Fund’s investment in Argentina hindered performance during the reporting period. This was especially true during the second half, when increased risk aversion gripped the markets and led to increased volatility in emerging markets. This had a negative impact on countries with relatively weak monetary policy institutions, including Argentina. Another factor in the decline of Argentina’s currency was the widespread distrust in the country’s official inflation indices following allegations of government manipulation of inflation data.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

  Our reasons for investing in Argentine debt remain unchanged, however. While we recognize the recent volatility, we believe that it is possible that the country’s markets will gain stability. In our view, the recent change in administration following the country’s October 2007 election and potential policy changes improve the outlook for Argentina.
   
Q. What is your outlook on the global economy and fixed income markets?
A. We believe that economic fundamentals in many emerging markets countries remain healthy, in part because many emerging markets economies are commodity exporters. Commodity prices generally rose throughout the reporting period, improving the overall balance sheets of many emerging markets countries. Additionally, many of these countries have ample cash reserves. Together, these factors strengthened emerging markets debt fundamentals, helping the asset class to perform relatively well despite the increased volatility in the credit markets.
   
  Due to our confident view of the fundamentals in emerging markets countries, we believe that the asset class is likely to be relatively well-supported going forward. In our view, while the larger economic environment may deteriorate due to the potential slowdown in the US and other major economies, emerging markets countries should be able to weather these problems better than in the past.
   
  This isn’t to say that conditions are rosy across the board in emerging markets countries, however. Some countries have failed to improve their fiscal health, and are not better able to repay their debts despite improvement in global economic conditions in recent years. As a result, while we believe that emerging markets debt should perform well overall, we also are alert to the possibility that problems could arise in certain countries.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returns assume, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.

The risk associated with this security is related to the speed of the principal paydowns. High prepayments would result in a smaller amount of interest being received and cause the yield to decrease. Low prepayments would result in a greater amount of interest being received and cause the yield to increase.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

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 enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. 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 loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US 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 US 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


26

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) 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 and Basel, 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 Board of Directors (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments 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 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. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund’s custodian.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of November 30, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and


27

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the Statement of operations for a fiscal period.

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 Fund uses the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US 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 US 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 US 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 US 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


28

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

(1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in 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 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 US 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 US 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 deliver 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 contracts. 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.

The Statement of operations reflects net realized and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts.


29

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

Swap agreements—The Fund may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency and credit default swap agreements. The Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or a credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. 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, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.


30

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.

Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities indices in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security or currency

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

Written option activity for the year ended November 30, 2007 for the Fund was as follows:

          Amount of
    Number of     premiums
    contracts     received

Options outstanding at November 30, 2006       $—

Options written   204     200,999

Options terminated in closing purchase transactions      

Options expired prior to exercise      

Options outstanding at November 30, 2007   204     $200,999

Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities and indices as well as exchange-listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

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 US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US 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, 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 US companies and US 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, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with related entities
The Fund’s Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global AM. 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. At November 30, 2007, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $165,789 for investment advisory and administration fees.

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 him 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. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended November 30, 2007, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $39,196,878. 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,


34

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 33331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. UBS Financial Services Inc. and other affiliated broker-dealers have been approved as borrowers under the Fund’s securities lending program. UBS Securities LLC is the lending agent. For the year ended November 30, 2007, UBS Securities LLC earned $2,041 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At November 30, 2007, the Fund owed UBS Securities LLC $140 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent.

Federal tax status
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts,

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2007     2006

Ordinary income   $12,824,898     $15,745,694

Net long-term capital gains   4,075,473     1,269,707

    $16,900,371     $17,015,401

At November 30, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income         $780,939  

 
Undistributed long-term capital gains         2,039,256  

 
Accumulated capital and other losses         (4,781,022 )

 
Net unrealized appreciation         3,927,236  

 
Total accumulated earnings         $1,966,409  

 

For federal income tax purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation of investments at November 30, 2007 were as follows:

Tax cost of investments         $206,676,190  

Gross unrealized appreciation         12,056,965  

Gross unrealized depreciation         (8,143,647 )

Net unrealized appreciation         $3,913,318  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation of investments is attributable to premium amortization adjustments, wash sales and options marked to market.

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended November 30, 2007, the Fund’s distributions in excess of net investment income were decreased by $3,367,959, accumulated net realized gain from investment activities was decreased by $3,367,960 and capital stock was increased by $1. These differences are primarily due to tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses, reclassification of distributions for tax purposes, adjustments for certain debt obligations and the tax treatment of swaps.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2007

On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s announcement on December 22, 2006, the implementation of FIN 48 must be incorporated into accounting practice no later than the last business day of the Fund’s May 31, 2008 semiannual report. Management continues to evaluate the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of November 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. at November 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)

Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual reporting. Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2007. The second notification, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in January 2008. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Investment policy changes:
As noted in the last shareholder report, there have been some adjustments to the Fund’s investment policies during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. These policy changes are expected to facilitate the efficient management of the Fund. Information on the changes appears below. The discussion below is consistent with that contained in the semi-annual report for the period ended May 31, 2007.

Changes in non-fundamental investment policies to add references to third major ratings agency: The Fund’s Board of Directors approved changes to certain of its non-fundamental investment policies. The Fund invests in a wide range of US and non-US debt securities. The Fund has several nonfundamental investment policies relating to credit ratings. For example, the Fund has had a policy that it normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated “at least BBB by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (‘S&P’), or Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (‘Moody’s’) or, if not rated by S&P or Moody’s, determined by ... [the Fund’s investment advisor, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global Asset Management”)] to be of comparable quality... .”

The Fund’s Board approved changes to its non-fundamental policies to add similar, explicit references to a third ratings agency, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) where the other two rating agencies named above already appear. This change was effective as of June 12, 2007. UBS Global Asset Management believes that Fitch may issue ratings in some markets or on some securities that are not covered to the same extent by S&P and Moody’s. UBS Global Asset Management may view the Fitch ratings similarly to the ratings issued by S&P and Moody’s. The changes in the Fund’s investment policies will enable UBS Global Asset Management to cease treating securities rated by Fitch as “unrated” for purposes of certain limitations, thereby no longer prompting an internal determination by UBS Global Asset Management that such securities are of “equivalent credit quality.” These changes are not expected to have a material impact on how UBS Global Asset Management manages the Fund.

Clarification to asset segregation policy

Cover for certain derivatives strategies.
Transactions using derivative instruments other than purchased options expose the Fund to an obligation to another party. The Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless


41

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General information (unaudited)

it owns either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies, or other futures contracts or (2) cash or liquid securities, with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. The Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for hedging transactions and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in a segregated account with its custodian in the prescribed amount.

With respect to futures contracts, the Fund will cover its obligations under the futures transactions in which it participates by either (i) holding offsetting positions that appropriately equal the daily market value of the Fund’s position in the futures contract (less the initial margin and any variation margin deposited with a futures commissions merchant) or (ii) accruing such amounts on a daily basis and maintaining segregated assets to cover the futures contract. With respect to a futures contract that is not contractually required to “cash-settle” the Fund must cover its open position by maintaining segregated assets equal to the contract’s full, notional value. However, the Fund may net non-cash settled futures contracts if the futures have the same expiration date and underlying instruments. With respect to a futures contract that is contractually required to “cash-settle,” the Fund is permitted to maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily marked-to-market (net) obligation (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability, if any) rather than the notional value. By setting aside assets equal to only its net obligation under cash-settled futures contracts, the Fund will have the ability to employ leverage to a greater extent than if the Fund were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts.

The Fund will only enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when the Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place segregated assets in a segregated account of the Fund in equal amount to the contract’s full, notional value. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against each other, and, in such cases, the Fund’s custodian, or sub-custodian will place segregated assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount equal to the net amount owed (the unrealized loss) by the Fund.


42

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General information (unaudited)

When the Fund enters into a non-deliverable forward transaction, the Fund’s custodian will maintain segregated assets in an amount not less than the value of the Fund’s unrealized loss under such non-deliverable forward transaction. If the additional segregated assets decline in value or the amount of the Fund’s commitment increases because of changes in currency rates, additional cash or securities will be designated as segregated assets on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s unrealized loss under the non-deliverable forward agreement.

Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding derivatives instrument is still open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to cover or segregated accounts could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet current obligations.

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.


43

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General information (unaudited)

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/distribution 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/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution 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 also may 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 in 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


44

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General information (unaudited)

NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distribution 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 percentage of its net assets) 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.

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.

Revised distribution characteristics for distributions made from January 2007 through May 2007 and additional information
In 2007 press releases issued through the end of May, the Fund provided estimated information regarding the sources of its monthly distributions. Those press releases and certain related shareholder notices indicated that prior 2007 distributions were estimated to be sourced from a combination of net investment income and long-term or short-term capital gains. The Fund subsequently determined to reclassify certain distributions made earlier that year in connection with an annual tax filing made in July 2007. The Fund reclassified the sources of the distributions made from January 2007 through May 2007 from certain various percentages of net investment income and/or long-term or short-term capital gains, noted in previous disclosures, to the following (as previously noted in the


45

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

General information (unaudited)

semi-annual report for the period ended May 31, 2007): for distributions declared in January 2007 and February 2007, the estimated source of the these distributions was long-term capital gains only; for the distribution declared in March 2007, the estimated source of that distribution was 86% long-term capital gains and 14% short-term capital gains; for the distribution declared in April 2007, the estimated source of that distribution was short-term capital gains; and for the distribution declared in May 2007, the Fund estimated that 5% of this monthly distribution represented short-term capital gains and 95% represented net investment income. This readjustment does not change the amount of the distributions that had been paid, only their estimated characteristics.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Background—At a meeting of the board of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) on July 18, 2007, the members of the board, including the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (“Independent Directors”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement of the Fund with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM, as well as the advisory and administrative arrangements for the Fund. In addition, one of the Independent Directors and legal counsel to the Independent Directors met several times with management and representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to discuss management’s proposed profitability methodology and made suggestions for changes to the methodology. As a result of management’s focus on the profitability methodology and this series of meetings, the Independent Directors received extensive information on UBS Global AM’s profitability, a report from management on the methodology used and a report from PwC on industry practices with respect to profitability methodology. The board received materials detailing the administrative services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM, which include providing accounting and financial analysis, ensuring that all financial and tax regulatory reporting requirements were met, certifying required Securities and Exchange Commission documentation and monitoring the performance of the Fund’s service providers.

The Independent Directors also met for several hours the evening before the board meeting to discuss matters related to the Fund and other funds subject to their oversight and met again after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of these sessions the Independent Directors met in session with their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering approval of advisory and administration agreements.


47

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the investment advisory and administration agreement—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement during the past year. The board also received a description of the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by UBS Global AM. The board considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates. The board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund, including custody, accounting and transfer agency services. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM and had received information regarding the persons responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, some at every board meeting, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted


48

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

that UBS Global AM had well over $100 billion in assets under management and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had over $700 billion of assets under management worldwide as of June 2007.

The board reviewed how transactions in Fund assets are effected. The board also reviewed the Fund’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, the use of a broker affiliated with UBS Global AM and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, UBS Global AM also reported to the board on, among other things, its disaster recovery plans and portfolio manager compensation plan.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (“Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered any fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and reimbursements into account) (“Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s advisory fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted that, in general, these fees were lower than the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee for the Fund, but also noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by funds and such accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other funds managed by UBS Global AM.


49

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

In addition to the Contractual and Actual Management Fees, the board also reviewed and considered the total expenses for the Fund. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and total expenses were in the fourth quintile, while its Actual Management Fee was in the fifth quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the lowest level of fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest level of fees or expenses, as applicable). The board noted management’s explanation that the Fund, unlike many in its Expense Group, has a dedicated component of its investment portfolio invested in emerging market debt and high yield instruments, adding greater complexity to the portfolio management team’s analysis of potential investments and which, therefore, can be more costly to manage than funds that invest predominantly in investment grade instruments.

Taking all of the above into consideration, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2007 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period through April 30, 2007. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance, including with respect to the Fund’s benchmark index.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for the one-year period, the fourth quintile for the three- and five-year periods and the third quintile for the ten-year period. Although the Lipper information did not assign a quintile ranking for the since inception period (which was comprised of a limited number of funds), the performance data indicated that the Fund would have fallen within


50

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

the second quintile since inception. (The first quintile represented that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the highest performance, and the fifth quintile represented that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the lowest performance.) Management explained that the Fund, which had a lower risk profile and had been managed more conservatively than a number of funds in its Performance Universe, did not utilize leverage, contributing to the Fund’s relative underperformance versus its peers during the past year’s strong market. In addition, management noted to the board that taking into account the volatility of the Performance Universe’s returns, the Fund’s return for each of the comparison periods was close to that of its Performance Universe’s mean return. Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was satisfactory.

Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. In addition, the board received information with respect to UBS Global AM’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data, as noted above. UBS Global AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS Global AM has achieved economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to shareholders. The board also considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoints) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies.

In conducting its review, the board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee did not contain any breakpoints. Further, the board noted that advisory agreements of closed-end funds frequently do not contain breakpoints. Management informed the board that the Fund, as a closed-end investment company, was not expected to materially increase in size; thus, UBS Global AM would not benefit from economies of scale.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.

In light of the costs of providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement to continue for another year.

In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the entire process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

      The [audit] Committee shall:
         
      ...
         
      2.
Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [AM] and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to

       
time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).

     
       
1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
 
       
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global [AM] that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

(e)   (2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
       
      Tax Fees:
     
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006 on behalf of the registrant.

      All Other Fees:
     
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006 on behalf of the registrant.
       
     
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

(f)  
According to E&Y, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of E&Y was 0%.
     
(g)  
For the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006, the aggregate fees billed by E&Y of $378,555 and $370,073, respectively, for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the registrant (“covered”), its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser (“non-covered”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant is shown in the table below:
     

        2007       2006
    Covered Services   $7,850       $7,923
    Non-Covered Services   $370,705       $362,150

(h)  
The registrant’s audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The registrant has a separately designated standing audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The registrant’s Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the registrant is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the responsibility to vote such proxies to the registrant’s advisor. Following is a summary of the proxy voting policy of the advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY, VOTING GUIDELINES AND POLICY SUMMARY

The proxy voting policy of UBS Global AM is based on its belief that voting rights have economic value and must be treated accordingly. Generally, UBS Global AM expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act as stewards of the financial assets of the company, to exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight with the management of the company. While there is no absolute set of rules that determines appropriate corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical behavior, there are certain benchmarks, which, if substantial progress is made toward, give evidence of good corporate governance. UBS Global AM may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS Global AM’s proxy voting policy.

When UBS Global AM’s view of a company’s management is favorable, UBS Global AM generally supports current management initiatives. When UBS Global AM’s view is that changes to the management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS Global AM may not support existing management proposals. In general, UBS Global AM (1) opposes proposals which act to entrench management; (2) believes that boards should be independent of company management and composed of persons with requisite skills, knowledge and experience; (3) opposes structures which impose financial constraints on changes in control; (4) believes remuneration should be commensurate with responsibilities and performance; and (5) believes that appropriate steps should be taken to ensure the independence of auditors.


UBS Global AM has implemented procedures designed to identify whether it has a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates’ client relationships, marketing efforts or banking and broker/dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS Global AM has imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and broker/dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues from influencing our proxy votes. Whenever UBS Global AM is aware of a conflict with respect to a particular proxy, its appropriate local corporate governance committee is required to review and agree to the manner in which such proxy is voted.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

  (a) (1) Name – Uwe Schillhorn
      Title – Vice President
      Length of Service – Since 2004
       
   

Business Experience Last 5 Years – Mr. Schillhorn is an executive director and head of emerging markets debt (since 2004) of UBS Global AM. Mr. Schillhorn is a vice president of two investment companies (consisting of two portfolios) for which UBS Global AM or one of its affiliates serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager.

       
   

Information is as of – January 29, 2008

       
  (a) (2) (i) Portfolio Manager
       
     

Uwe Schillhorn

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (A) Registered Management Investment Companies
       
   

The portfolio manager is responsible for 4 additional Registered Management Investment Companies (not including the Registrant) totaling approximately $423 million in total assets as of November 30, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (B) Other Pooled Investment Vehicles
       
     

The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 10 additional Other Pooled Investment Vehicles totaling approximately $2 billion in total assets as of November 30, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (C) Other accounts
       
     

The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 20 additional accounts totaling approximately $5.1 billion in total assets as of November 30, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (iii) Accounts with respect to which an advisory fee is based on the performance of the account.
       
     

None

       

  (a) (2) (iv) Conflicts.
       
   

The management of the registrant and other accounts by a portfolio manager could result in potential conflicts of interest if the registrant and other accounts have different objectives, benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and his team must allocate time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the registrant. The portfolio manager and his team manage the registrant and other accounts utilizing an approach that groups similar accounts by characteristics and objectives. The Advisor manages accounts according to their respective objectives, including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest.

       
   

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account, the registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and accounts. To deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all accounts.

       
   

The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The Advisor and the registrant have adopted a Code of Ethics that governs such personal trading, but there is no assurance that the Code will adequately address all such conflicts.

       
   

(Information in Item 8(a)(2) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of November 30, 2007.)

       
  (a) (3) Compensation.
       
   

The compensation received by portfolio managers at UBS Global AM, including Mr. Schilhorn, includes a base salary and incentive compensation as detailed below. Overall compensation can be grouped into three categories: base salary, annual bonuses and UBS AG equity. Base salary is fixed compensation used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that the investment professionals bring to their roles. Annual bonuses are correlated with performance and are based on three components: 1) the firm’s overall business success; 2) the performance of the respective asset class and/or investment mandate; and 3) an individual’s specific contribution to the firm’s results. Senior investment professionals may receive a portion of their annual performance-based incentive in the form of deferred or restricted UBS AG shares or employee stock options. Broader equity share ownership is encouraged for all employees through “Equity Plus.” This long-term incentive program gives employees the opportunity to purchase UBS stock with after-tax funds from their bonus or salary. Two UBS stock options are given for each share acquired and held for two years. The performance related component of the portfolio manager’s bonus is based on the performance of the funds he manages as compared to each fund’s broad-based benchmark over one, two and three year periods. With respect to the Registrant, the benchmark in effect as of November 2007 is a blended benchmark composed of 67% of Citigroup World Government Bond Index and 33% JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global (in USD).
