  Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.:
Managed distribution policy—key points to note
     
  The Fund has a managed distribution policy. Since August 2009, the Fund makes regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 7% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of a month (usually a Friday, unless the NYSE is closed that day). (From June 2005 through the monthly distribution for July 2009, the annualized rate had been 8%.)
     
  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. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is deemed to be paid back to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
     
  You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the monthly distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy.
     
  The Fund periodically issues notices and press releases estimating the source characteristics of its monthly distributions. The amounts and sources reported in these materials are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV (or your financial intermediary should provide you with similar information) for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
     
  The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.
     
  Further information regarding the Fund’s managed distribution policy is contained in the section captioned “Distribution policy” towards the end of this report.

Performance
Over the 12 months ended November 30, 2010, the Fund returned 9.23% on a net asset value basis, and generated a 19.42% return on a market price basis. Over the same period, the median returns for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Global Income Funds category, were 14.19% and 18.04% on a net asset value and market price basis, respectively. Finally, the Fund’s benchmark, the Strategic Global Benchmark1 (the “Benchmark”), returned 2.82% over the annual reporting period.

The Fund did not use structural leverage during the reporting period. That is, the Fund did not have preferred stock outstanding, nor did it 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 discount to its net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the reporting period. However the amount of the discount narrowed during the reporting period resulting in the considerable difference between the Fund’s NAV and market price return.2

2   A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV. Alternatively, 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.   Even though the US economy continued to expand, certain economic data remained weak during the reporting period. Looking back, gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was a strong 5.0% during the fourth quarter of 2009. GDP then expanded 3.7% during the first quarter of 2010, while second and third quarter 2010 GDP growth came in at 1.7% and 2.6%, respectively. The US economy has moderated from its earlier peak as the federal government’s $787 billion stimulus program has largely run its course. In addition, the labor market remains stubbornly weak, with unemployment at 9.8% at the end of November 2010.
     
    Outside of the US, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe often dominated the headlines. In May 2010, the European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced a $955 billion bailout plan to aid Greece and other Eurozone countries that were experiencing severe financial hardships. Then, toward the end of the period, it appeared that Ireland was poised to accept a $112 billion bailout package. Against this backdrop, it was not surprising that the IMF’s projection for European GDP is a tepid 1.7% in 2011. In contrast, the IMF’s forecast for growth in many emerging market countries is far superior than their developed country counterparts. For example, China’s economy is projected to grow 10.5% in 2011, while India’s GDP is expected to grow 9.7%.
     
Q.   How did the global bond markets perform over the reporting period?
A.   While there were periods of elevated volatility, the US spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generated strong results during the fiscal year as a whole. For example, high yield bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital High Yield Index, posted positive returns during all but two of the 12 months covered by this report. Other solid performers included commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and investment grade corporate bonds. Supporting the spread sectors were the continued economic expansion, improving corporate profits and generally robust demand from investors seeking to generate additional income in the low interest rate environment.
     
    The emerging markets debt asset class also produced strong returns during the fiscal year. Investor demand for the asset class was also typically solid, and growth rates in emerging markets countries exceeded those in more developed countries. However, a portion of the asset classes’ gains were given back in May and November 2010 when


2

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
     
    investor risk aversion increased, largely as a result of the escalating European debt crisis.
     
Q.   How did you position the portfolio from a duration standpoint?
A.   The Fund’s duration—which measures its sensitivity to changes in interest rates—generally remained modestly lower than its benchmark throughout the fiscal year. This strategy was primarily due to expectations that the global economy would continue to expand and central banks would subsequently raise interest rates from their low credit crisis levels. This duration positioning detracted slightly from results, as global yields generally went down during the reporting period, and particularly during the second half.
     
Q.   Which currency strategies did you use during the period?
A.   The Fund’s currency exposure was one of the main contributors to its outperformance versus its benchmark during the reporting period. In particular, the Fund’s positions in emerging local market debt (debt denominated in the “local” currency of the issuer) generated strong results. Among the largest contributors were our overweight positions in the Brazilian real, the Indonesian rupiah and the South Korean won. Elsewhere, having an overweight to the euro was beneficial in the first half of the period, and this benefit held up despite the weakness in the euro later in the period. This was also true of the Fund’s exposure to the Polish zloty and other emerging market currencies that have a strong link to the euro.
     
Q.   Which holdings or strategies generated strong results over the period?
A.   Overall, our out-of-benchmark exposure to spread product, both in the US and abroad, was a positive for the Fund’s relative performance. The most significant contributors to performance were the Fund’s positions in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). CDOs are debt securities backed by a pool of loans, such as auto loans, credit card debt or corporate debt. Declining default rates and improvement in recovery rates supported the value of these securities. Also enhancing the Fund’s results were its exposures to high yield bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). In both cases, they rallied sharply from their credit crisis lows as economic conditions improved, and demand for these securities was generally robust.
     
    Also contributing to performance was the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets debt. In particular, having an overweight to local bonds was rewarded, as they outperformed their USD-denominated counterparts

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
     
    during the reporting period. Examples of strong local market performers included the Fund’s positions in Brazil, Turkey and South Africa. In general, our strategy of favoring high yielding bonds and certain related currencies was beneficial as they provided a buffer against some degree of currency volatility. Elsewhere, maintaining an overweight to Argentina was a positive for performance. These higher beta (beta is a measure of market-related risk) US-dollar denominated bonds generated solid results, in part due to robust demand as investors were drawn to the attractive yields available in Argentina.
     
Q.   Were there any particular strategies that did not work well for the Fund?
A.   In addition to the Fund’s duration positioning, another drag on the Fund’s results was its position in Greek sovereign debt; however, the negative impact was limited as the position was relatively small. We initiated this position in January 2010, as spreads widened, given concerns about the country’s economic and financial situation. This detracted from results as Greece’s financial situation proved to be much more dire than initially expected. While the country’s bonds rallied somewhat in September, they weakened toward the end of the period, given renewed concerns regarding Greece’s economy.
     
Q.   What derivative instruments had the greatest impact on performance during the reporting period?
A.   The Fund utilized currency forwards to manage its exposure to local currencies. (Currency forwards are agreements based on the exchange rates between currencies at a future date). In addition, the Fund used credit default swaps (a type of credit derivative) to adjust the Fund’s exposure to the debt of certain emerging markets countries. Finally, structured notes, another type of derivative, were employed to gain access to various local markets. In total, the use of these instruments was beneficial for performance during the reporting period, particularly the Fund’s use of currency forwards.
     
Q.   What is your outlook on the global economy and fixed income markets?
A.   While growth in a number of developed countries moderated during the second half of the reporting period, we believe there is enough momentum for growth to remain positive, albeit somewhat tepid, in 2011. We also expect inflation to remain benign and feel that interest rates will be relatively low in many developed countries given continued economic headwinds, such as high unemployment. Against a backdrop of continued growth, low interest rates and little inflation, we believe the

    spread sectors remain attractive. In particular, high yield and investment grade corporate bonds may continue to benefit from improving credit fundamentals and strong investor demand.
     
    We continue to have a positive long-term outlook for the emerging markets debt asset class, given the strength and robustness of the underlying economies. However, volatility may continue in the near term due to uncertainties in a number of peripheral Eurozone countries, which could trigger another flight to quality. We are also monitoring a potential decline in commodity demand from China as it seeks to cool its economy to ward off inflation. Finally, given the extremely strong performance in the asset class over the last two years, some profit taking could be conceivable.
     
    Since US interest rates may be near their lowest levels, we see US dollar-denominated emerging market bonds as being fairly valued at current spread levels. In contrast, we believe local bonds and local currencies should be the main performance drivers for the foreseeable future as yield and economic growth disparities are likely to remain favorable for emerging markets 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 on the sale of Fund shares.

10   Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities’ principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers’ country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

TIPS   Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) are debt securities issued by the US Treasury whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the TIPS is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in a published Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the TIPS are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the TIPS principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the TIPS generally pay lower interest rates than typical US Treasury securities. Only if inflation occurs will TIPS offer a higher real yield than a conventional Treasury security of the same maturity.

The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity.

Total return based on net asset value is hypothetical as investors cannot purchase or sell Fund shares at the net asset value but only at market prices.
3   Total market price return is calculated assuming a purchase of $10,000 of common stock at the current market price on the first day of each year reported and a sale at the current market price on the last day of each year reported, and assuming reinvestment of dividends and other distributions at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Total market price return does not reflect brokerage commissions or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or a sale of Fund shares.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

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 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. 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 and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. 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 and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments 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 and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, 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 or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM” or the “Advisor”), the investment advisor 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 readily 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”). Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (”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 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company as provided by such other entity. 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.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

In January 2010, the FASB (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, including information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of the remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

The provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of the Fund is consistent with the derivative activity during the year ended November 30, 2010. The Fund may be a seller of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements); however, the Fund is not aware of any additional credit-risk contingent features on other derivative contracts held by the Fund.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for the Fund as of and for the year ended November 30, 2010 is as follows:

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

Restricted securities—The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in the Fund’s Notes to portfolio of investments.

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 in an attempt to enhance income or gains.


57

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

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 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. The Fund may also use futures contracts in an attempt to enhance income or gains. 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, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that the Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

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


58

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

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 or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

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

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. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.

The Fund may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns, as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. 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 currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other 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


59

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

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.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of November 30, 2010 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section “Credit default swaps on sovereign issues—sell protection” in the Notes to portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

The use of swap agreements 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. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement 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.

Structured notes—The Fund may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a referenced security or index. The value of these structured notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the referenced security or index. On the maturity date of each structured note, the Fund will receive a payment from a counterparty based on the value of the referenced security (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced security) and record a realized gain or loss.

Structured notes may present a greater degree of market risk than many types of securities and may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities. Structured notes are also subject to the risks that the issuer of the structured notes may fail to perform its contractual obligations.

Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to


61

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

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, index or currency 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.

Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, 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.


62

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution 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 GAAP. 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 investment advisory and administration fees, which are accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. UBS Global AM has agreed voluntarily to waive 0.05% of its fees, effective August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2011, thereby reducing the fees to 0.95% for such period. At November 30, 2010, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $177,704 which is composed of $187,084 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $9,380. For the year ended November 30, 2010, UBS Global AM waived $109,439 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Fund may conduct transactions, resulting in him being 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. 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, 2010, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $30,686,363. 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.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% 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 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, 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. The Fund did not lend any securities during the year ended November 30, 2010.

Capital stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 18,258,828 shares outstanding at November 30, 2010. For the year


64

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

ended November 30, 2010 and for the year ended November 30, 2009, there were no transactions involving common stock.

Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended November 30, 2010, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $131,543,807 and $153,968,973, respectively.

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

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2010 and November 30, 2009 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2010   2009

Ordinary income   $ 16,053,162   $ 14,207,194

At November 30, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income   $ 15,381,025  

Undistributed long-term capital gains     3,155,281  

Accumulated capital and other losses     (1,767,608 )

Net unrealized depreciation     (1,650,594 )

Total accumulated earnings   $ 15,118,104  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation is attributable to premium amortization adjustments, tax treatment of certain derivatives and wash sales.

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund’s accumulated net investment income was increased by $10,540,469 and accumulated net realized gain from investment activities was decreased by $10,540,469.


65

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to financial statements—November 30, 2010

These differences are primarily due to the tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses and adjustments for certain debt obligations.

As of and during the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended November 30, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

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

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of 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, 2010, 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, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and others. 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, 2010, 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 2010. 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 no later than January 31, 2011. 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.

Fund governance changes
On May 19, 2010, the Fund announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had approved the classification of the directors into three classes. The classification was effective on May 19, 2010, and the initial term of office of one class of directors will expire at the Fund’s 2011 annual stockholders meeting, with the second class expiring at the 2012 meeting and the third expiring at the 2013 meeting, and when the successors to the members of each class have been elected. The Board members have been classified as follows:

ClassI: Richard R. Burt, Meyer Feldberg
ClassII: Bernard H. Garil, Heather R. Higgins
ClassIII: Richard Q. Armstrong, Alan S. Bernikow

The Board also approved several other corporate governance measures to clarify internal procedures and to help assure that the purposes and goals of the Fund may be fostered, which are reflected in the Fund’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. These changes included the adoption of detailed procedures regarding shareholder-requested special meetings of shareholders. These provisions include enhanced disclosure requirements to be satisfied by proponents of matters to be submitted to a vote of shareholders. These fund governance changes did not require a vote of shareholders.

You may obtain a description of the Fund’s (1) proxy voting policies (2) proxy voting procedures, and (3) information regarding how the Fund voted any proxies related to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 for which an SEC filing has been made, without charge, upon request by contacting the Fund directly at 1-888-793 8637, online on UBS’s Web site: http://www.ubs.com/1/e/globalam/Americas/globalamus/globalamusii/closed_end_funds.html 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 shareholder select 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/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 BNY Mellon Investment Servicing, P.O. Box 43078, Providence,

Distribution policy
The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in May 1998, which was revised effective January 2000, in May 2005 and again effective August 2009. 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 distribution pursuant to the policy from 10% to 8% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. The Board approved a further reduction in the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 8% to 7% in July 2009, effective beginning with the August 2009 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.

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 receives recommendations from UBS Global AM, the Fund’s investment advisor, 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.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration contract (unaudited)

Background—At a meeting of the board of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) on July 14-15, 2010, 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 Contract 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. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM, as well as the advisory and administration arrangements for the Fund. The Independent Directors discussed the materials initially provided by management prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Directors also met in executive session 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 were joined by 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.

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

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the investment advisory and administration contract—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 considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates for the Fund and 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. 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


73

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration contract (unaudited)

and the quality of 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 and the portfolio manager primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that many of these persons report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed 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 management 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 UBS AG, one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted that UBS Global AM had approximately $143 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2010 and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had approximately $560 billion of assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2010. The board was also cognizant of, and considered, the regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS AG, UBS Global AM and certain of their affiliates.

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 Contract.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management 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 and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and reimbursements into account) (the “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”).


74

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration contract (unaudited)

In addition, at management’s request, Lipper provided supplemental expense data for the Fund, as the Fund’s Expense Group may have been too small to make any statistically meaningful comparisons. The Expense Group consisted of the Fund and three other comparable non-leveraged funds. The expanded expense universe included leveraged and non-leveraged comparable funds and increased the size of the comparison to the Fund and ten other funds, which still may not result in any statistically meaningful comparisons.

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.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the Fund’s Expense Group’s medians. Management explained that the Fund’s total fees and expenses were above the Fund’s Expense Group median partially because of certain non-management expenses, which were higher than those of its peers in the smaller fund universe (e.g., higher global custodian fees). Management further indicated that it believed that the Fund’s non-management expenses were not necessarily out of line and were reasonable when viewed in the context of other non-management expenses of the funds included in the larger, expanded expense group, which might constitute a more representative sampling. With respect to its management fee, UBS Global AM agreed to continue waiving 5 basis points (0.05%) through July 31, 2011, making the Fund’s effective actual annual management fee rate, after this waiver, 0.95% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets until July 31, 2011, which placed it very close to its Expense Group median.

Taking all of the above into consideration, including the voluntary fee waiver, 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 Contract.

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- and ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2010 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2010. 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 also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance. Management noted that the Fund outperformed the funds in its Performance Universe for the one- and three- year periods although it underperformed such funds for the five- and ten-year periods and since inception.
 
Based on its review and management’s presentation, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was satisfactory, but would continue to monitor the Fund’s performance over the upcoming year.
 
Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund, as well as information regarding enhancements to UBS Global AM’s methodology for determining profitability. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. 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 contracts of closed-end funds frequently do not contain


76

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
 
Board approval of investment advisory and administration contract (unaudited)
 
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 did not expect to materially benefit from economies of scale.
 
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 Contract 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 Contract. 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 Contract in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

    There were no “all other fees” required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

(e)   (1)   Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
        The registrant’s Audit Committee (“audit committee”) has adopted an “Audit Committee Charter (Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2004-with revisions through August 2009)” (the “charter”). The charter contains the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:

     
  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:
           
          Audit-Related 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 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, 2010, 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the aggregate fees billed by E&Y of $237,202 and $122,464, 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:

      2010   2009
   
 
Covered Services   $7,202   $8,199
Non-Covered Services   $230,000   $114,265

(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. The Audit Committee is comprised of the following board members: Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Bernikow, Mr. Burt, Mr. Garil and Ms. Higgins.

Item 6.  Investments.
       
  (a)   Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
       
  (b)   Not applicable.

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 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 a managing 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 serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager.

Information is as of – February 7, 2011
             
  (a)   (2)   (i) Portfolio Manager
             
            Uwe Schillhorn
             
  (a)   (2)   (ii)      (A) Registered Investment Companies
             
The portfolio manager is responsible for four additional Registered Investment Companies (not including the Registrant) totaling approximately $317 million as of November 30, 2010.

  (a)   (2)   (ii)      (B) Other Pooled Investment Vehicles
             
The portfolio manager is responsible for nine additional Other Pooled Investment Vehicles totaling approximately $3 billion as of November 30, 2010.
             
  (a)   (2)   (ii)      (C) Other accounts
             
The portfolio manager is responsible for 14 additional accounts totaling approximately $8 billion as of November 30, 2010.
             
  (a)   (2)   (iii)      Accounts with respect to which an advisory fee is based on the performance of the account.
             
One account with assets of approximately $278 million has an advisory fee based on a performance fee.

             
  (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 the team of which he is a member must allocate time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the registrant. The portfolio manager and the team of which he is a member manage the registrant and other accounts utilizing an approach that groups similar accounts by characteristics and objectives. UBS Global AM 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, UBS Global AM 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. UBS Global AM 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, 2010.)
         
  (a)   (3) Compensation.
             
              UBS Global AM’s compensation and benefits programs are designed to provide its investment professionals with incentives to excel, and to promote an entrepreneurial, performance-oriented culture with clear accountability. They also align the interests of investment professionals with those of our clients.
             
              The total compensation received by the portfolio managers and analysts at UBS Global AM, including the Registrant’s portfolio manager, has up to three basic components – a fixed component (base salary and benefits), a variable cash component and, over a certain total compensation threshold, a variable deferred component. These are described in more detail below:
             
          The fixed component (base salary and benefits) is set with the aim of being competitive in the industry and is monitored and adjusted periodically with reference to the relevant local labor market in order to remain so. The fixed component is used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that portfolio managers and analysts bring to their roles.
          Variable compensation is determined annually on a discretionary basis. It is correlated with the individual’s financial and non-financial contribution and with the performance of their respective function, UBS Global Asset Management and UBS as a whole. As its name implies, variable compensation can be variable and is delivered in cash and, over a certain total compensation threshold, deferred.
          Variable deferred – employees may have a portion of their variable compensation deferred. The main deferral plan is the UBS Global Asset Management Equity Ownership Plan (Global AM EOP) which vests pro rata over a three year period, subject to continued service. Through the Global AM EOP, awards are granted in the form of

          some combination of vehicles aligned to selected UBS Global Asset Management funds, UBS shares or notional shares. The vehicles aligned to selected UBS Global Asset Management funds are called Alternative Investment Vehicles or AIVs. UBS Global Asset Management believes that not only does this deferral plan reinforce the critical importance of creating long-term business value, it also serves as an effective retention tool.
           
                UBS Global Asset Management strongly believes that aligning portfolio managers’ variable compensation to both the short-term and longer-term performance of their portfolios closely aligns the portfolio managers’ interests with those of the firm’s clients. The total variable compensation available generally will depend on the overall profitability of UBS Group and UBS Global Asset Management.
           
                The allocation of the variable compensation pool to the portfolio manager is linked to the investment performance of the Registrant versus its benchmark, here a blended benchmark composed of 67% Citigroup World Government Bond Index and 33% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global), over one and three years.
           
                For analysts, variable compensation is, in general, based on the performance of some combination of model and/or client portfolios, generally evaluated over one and three years and coupled with a qualitative assessment of their contribution.
