A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007.

After an extended period of steady gains, turmoil in U.S. credit markets over the summer of 2007 has led to heightened volatility in many international equity markets. Nonetheless, fundamentals in the global economy have remained relatively robust, particularly in the “Greater China” region, and recent rate cuts in the United States helped to sustain market rebounds in many regions of the world.

While we expect the global expansion to continue, it probably will do so at a slower rate as U.S. consumer spending moderates and as some high-flying emerging markets, notably China, take steps to reduce unsustainably high growth rates by tightening their respective monetary policies. However, the U.S. dollar has declined against most major currencies throughout most of the reporting period, making investments denominated in foreign currencies more valuable for U.S. residents. Lastly, as a stubborn U.S. trade deficit and stronger economic growth in overseas markets continue to attract global capital away from U.S. markets and toward those with higher potential returns.As always, we encourage you to discuss these developments with your financial advisor, who can help you make any adjustments that may be right for your portfolio.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s Portfolio Manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

Fund and Market Performance Overview

Despite heightened market turmoil in the summer, large-cap stocks produced relatively attractive returns during the reporting period as the global economy expanded robustly and multinational corporations’ earnings continued to grow. The fund’s returns trailed its benchmark, due primarily to its relatively light exposure to the strong-performing information technology and industrials sectors.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2007, Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund produced total returns of 17.47% for Class A shares, 16.46% for Class B shares, 16.61% for Class C shares, 17.76% for Class I shares and 17.16% for Class T shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World Index”), provided a 20.39% total return for the same period.2

Effective June 1, 2007, Class R shares were renamed Class I shares.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund invests primarily in large, well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times. We focus on purchasing large-cap,“blue-chip” stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals.The result is a portfolio of stocks of prominent companies selected for their sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential.The fund pursues a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy in which we typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help to reduce investors’ tax liabilities and the fund’s trading costs.3

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Market Leadership Shifted Toward Large, High-Quality Companies

Stocks continued to advance for much of the reporting period on the strength of U.S. and global economic growth and rising corporate earnings. As they had for some time, investors during the reporting period’s first half continued to maintain an ample appetite for risk, which benefited shares of smaller, lower-quality companies more than the well-established blue-chip stocks that comprise the fund’s holdings.

The market environment and the fund’s relative performance began to change in June, when credit concerns in the U.S. bond market’s sub-prime mortgage sector spread to other areas of the financial markets, including global equities. Investors grew increasingly worried that intensifying weakness in U.S. housing markets and escalating defaults on sub-prime mortgages might damage the U.S. economy and, to a lesser extent, the global economy. In the ensuing market turbulence, investors engaged in a “flight to quality” in which large, high-quality companies returned to favor. We had been anticipating this shift for some time, and the fund was positioned to benefit from investors’ renewed resistance to risk.

Allocations to Financials, Energy and Consumer Staples Stocks Boosted Fund Performance

The financials area represented the top contributor to the fund’s relative performance for the reporting period, as an underweighted position in the sector enabled it to avoid the brunt of turbulence stemming from the U.S. sub-prime mortgage meltdown. Nonetheless, some of the fund’s financial stocks, such as Citigroup and UBS, were hurt in the sub-prime mortgage meltdown, as was consumer discretionary holding McGraw Hill’s Standard & Poor’s division.

The fund’s overweighted exposure to the energy sector contributed positively to the fund’s returns. Rising oil and gas prices, which reached more than $95 per barrel by the reporting period’s end, helped bolster the earnings of large, integrated energy producers such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips. Materials company Norsk Hydro, which produces natural gas, also gained substantial value.

The fund’s consumer staples holdings fared well despite intensifying concerns regarding the impact of higher energy prices on consumers. A number of the fund’s holdings demonstrated their ability to withstand weakness in one region of the world through participation in

others where economic growth has remained robust.The fund achieved relatively strong results from tobacco giant Altria Group, which has attempted to unlock shareholder value by spinning off certain business units; luxury goods provider L’Oreal, which caters to high-end consumers with ample disposable income; and food producer Nestle which is benefiting from strong global positioning.

The fund’s performance was constrained during the reporting period by its underweighted position in the industrials and information technology areas, both of which produced above-average returns.The fund did not own any telecommunications stocks, which rebounded after a long period of sub-standard returns.

Positioned for New Opportunities

While we expect heightened market volatility to persist, we recently have found opportunities in a number of areas that appear poised to benefit from ongoing global growth.Accordingly, we have established a new position in technology leader Texas Instruments, which supplies microchips to the fast-growing cellular telephone industry. In the financials area, where valuations have become more attractive, we initiated a position in global banking giant HSBC Holdings. United Technologies also was added, helping to bolster the fund’s exposure to the industrials sector. Conversely, the fund eliminated its positions in Pfizer, United Parcel Service and Wal-Mart due to economic and company-specific concerns.

1    Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into 
    consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the 
    applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and 
    Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance 
    is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon 
    redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

    Europe,Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. 
3    Achieving tax efficiency is not a part of the fund’s investment objective, and there can be no 
    guarantee that the fund will achieve any particular level of taxable distributions in future years. In 
    periods when the manager has to sell significant amounts of securities (e.g., during periods of 
    significant net redemptions or changes in index components) funds can be expected to be less tax 
    efficient than during periods of more stable market conditions and asset flows.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. on 10/31/97 to a $10,000 investment made in the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (the “Index”) on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. Performance for Class T shares will vary from the performance of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses.

The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and all other applicable fees and expenses.The Index is an unmanaged index of global stock market performance, including the United States, Canada,Australia, New Zealand and the Far East and includes net dividends reinvested. The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim”) serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.

On July 1,2007,Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”) and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”). As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon.

The fund’s Board of Directors approved the redesignation of the fund’s Class R shares as Class I shares, effective June 1, 2007.The description of the eligibility requirements for Class I shares remains the same as it was for Class R shares.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the Distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. The fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividends reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase and Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses

The Fund 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the

22

Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

The Fund 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

The FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing

24

the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15,2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

At October 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $8,672,764, accumulated capital losses $26,093,919 and unrealized appreciation $397,927,206.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2007. If not applied, $1,983,233 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2008, $6,194,382 expires in fiscal 2011 and $17,916,304 expires in fiscal 2012.

The tax characters of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, were as follows: ordinary income $6,102,787 and $10,200,951, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2007, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other permanent book to taxes differences under the provisions of Section 382 of the Code, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $575, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by 2,238,777 and decreased paid-in capital by $2,238,202. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on July 24, 2007, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2008) of the fund’s Investment Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services, and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”) pursuant to which Sarofim & Co. provides day-today management of the fund’s investments subject to the Manager’s oversight.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager and Sarofim & Co.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement, and by Sarofim & Co. pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund as well as among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex generally, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services in each distribution channel, including those of the fund.The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members considered Sarofim & Co.’s research and portfolio management capabilities.The Board members also considered that the Manager provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager’s extensive administra-

tive, accounting and compliance infrastructure, as well as the Manager’s supervisory activities over Sarofim & Co.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, comparing the fund’s performance to a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) and to a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper.The Board members had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members noted that the fund achieved a range of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th quintile rankings (the first quintile being the highest performance) among its Performance Group and Performance Universe on a total return basis for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year time periods ended May 31, 2007.The Board members discussed with representatives of the Manager and Sarofim & Co. the investment strategy employed in the management of the fund’s assets and how that strategy affected the fund’s relative performance, particularly during periods when the fund had 4th or 5th quintile rankings. A representative of the Manager noted that high quality, mega-cap stocks had been out of favor for a long period of time but recently appear to be coming back into favor.The representatives of the Manager noted that Sarofim & Co. is an experienced Manager with a long-term “buy-and-hold” investment approach to investing in high quality companies that are predominantly “mega-cap” companies. Sarofim & Co.’s considerable reputation, based on following this investment approach, was noted. The Manager also provided the Board with the fund’s total return performance for the past ten calendar years in comparison to the MSCI World Index (the “Index”) and noted that the fund outperformed the Index in six of the last ten calendar years, including 2006.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) that were composed of the same funds included in the

32

Performance Group and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”) each selected and provided by Lipper. The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager, Sarofim & Co. or their affiliates by other accounts managed by the Manager, Sarofim & Co. or their respective affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (the “Similar Accounts”). The Manager’s representatives explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from the Manager’s and Sarofim & Co.’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to such Similar Accounts as compared to managing and providing services to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager or Sarofim & Co. and discussed the relationship of the fees paid in light of the services provided. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee and sub-investment advisory fee. Representatives of the Manager informed the Board members that there were no mutual funds managed by the Manager, Sarofim & Co. or their affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

The Board considered the fee to Sarofim & Co. in relation to the fee paid to the Manager and the respective services provided by Sarofim & Co. and the Manager.The Board also noted that Sarofim & Co.’s fee is paid by the Manager and not the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit. The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the

I N FO R M AT I O N A B O U T T H E R E V I E W A N D A P P R OVA L O F T H E F U N D ’S M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) ( c o n t i n u e d )

profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex. The Board members also had been informed that the methodology had also been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable. The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund. The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager and Sarofim & Co. and their affiliates from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services. Since the Manager, and not the fund, pays Sarofim & Co. pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider Sarofim & Co.’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. The Board members also discussed the profitability percentages determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the services provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement and Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

34
  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the ser- vices provided by the Manager and Sarofim & Co. to the fund are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board noted the improvement in the fund’s performance for the one-year period ended May 31, 2007, but remained concerned with the fund’s longer-term performance. However, the Board understood that the fund’s performance was consistent with Sarofim & Co.’s investment approach during all periods, which involves investments in high quality mega-cap companies, and that, for a sig- nificant period of time, such companies have been out of favor but appear to have come back into favor recently. While management assured the Board members that portfolio management had been consistent with the strategy description in fund materials and Sarofim & Co.’s stated investment style, the Board determined to continue to closely monitor performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid by the fund to the Manager, and by the Manager to Sarofim & Co., were reasonable in light of the considerations described above.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the man- agement of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund and that, to the extent in the future it were to be deter- mined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between the Manager and Sarofim & Co. was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

The Registrant's Board has determined that Joseph S. Di Martino, a member of the Audit Committee of the Board, is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Mr. Di Martino is "independent" as defined by the SEC for purposes of audit committee financial expert determinations.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $30,166 in 2006 and $30,166 in 2007.

(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2006 and $0 in 2007.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for non-audit assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-investment 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 ("Service Affiliates"), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Service Affiliate, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2006 and $0 in 2007.

Note: For the second paragraph in each of (b) through (d) of this Item 4, certain of such services were not pre-approved prior to May 6, 2003, when such services were required to be pre-approved. On and after May 6, 2003, 100% of all services provided by the Auditor were pre-approved as required. For comparative purposes, the fees shown assume that all such services were pre-approved, including services that were not pre-approved prior to the compliance date of the pre-approval requirement.

(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $4,367 in 2006 and $3,130 in 2007. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various

financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held, and (iv) determination of Passive Foreign Investment Companies (as applicable).

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Tax Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2006 and $0 in 2007.

(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item, were $5,294 in 2006 and $ 0 in 2007. These services consisted of a review of the Registrant's anti-money laundering program.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Non-Audit Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates, other than the services reported in paragraphs (b) through (c) of this Item, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $0 in 2006 and $0 in 2007.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Registrant's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures (the "Policy") for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the Auditor's engagements for non-audit services to the Registrant and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.

Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the Reporting Periods were $436,321 in 2006 and $1,627,514 in 2007.

Auditor Independence. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence.
