Section 19(b) Disclosure

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Global Opportunities Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), have adopted a plan, consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plan, Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund currently distributes $0.1032 per share on a monthly basis, Clough Global Equity Fund currently distributes $0.0989 per share on a monthly basis and Clough Global Opportunities Fund currently distributes $0.0860 per share on a monthly basis.

The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of each Fund’s Board. Under the Plan, each Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with each Fund’s primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, each Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable each Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Fund’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate each Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of either the Fund or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if a Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. Each Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, increased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

Please refer to Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Fund’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for each Fund, as applicable, are available on the Clough Global Closed-End Funds website www.cloughglobal.com.

Semi Annual Results

Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (GLV)

During the semiannual period ended April 30, 2017, the Clough Dividend and Income Fund’s total return, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends, was 9.36% based on the net asset value and 24.55% based on the market price.  The blended benchmark (50% MSCI World Index and 50% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index) returned 5.72%. During the last six months, the fund paid 0.62 per share in distributions.  As of April 30, 2017, the Fund had a distribution rate on market price of 8.98%.

Clough Global Equity Fund (GLQ)

During the semiannual period ended April 30, 2017, the Clough Global Equity Fund‘s total return, assuming the reinvestment of dividends, was 13.38% based on net asset value and 26.43% based on market price.  The MSCI World Index returned 12.44%.  During the last six months, the fund paid 0.59 per share in distributions.  As of April 30, 2017, the Fund had a distribution rate on market price of 9.23%.

Clough Global Opportunities Fund (GLO)

During the semiannual period ended April 30, 2017, the Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s total return was 9.41% based on net asset value and 24.19% based on market price.  The blended benchmark (75% MSCI World Index and 25% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index) returned 9.04%. During the last six months, the fund paid 0.52 per share in distributions.  As of April 30, 2017, the Fund had a distribution rate on market price of 9.69%.

The largest sector gains came from investments in companies which we think will capture the bulk of the profits from the emerging smartphone cycle. Other positive contributors were Liberty Ventures; Bank of America and Citigroup; and Ares Capital Corp., a business development company. Industrial and energy shorts and long maturity United States Treasuries were among the top detractors from performance. On an individual basis, top detractors include short positions in Lufthansa AG and Deutsche Bank.

During the last six months we were particularly active in adding to three of the Fund’s major strategies: the emerging smartphone cycle, our growing emerging market interest in India, and healthcare.

Investments along the smartphone chain are a large commitment in the fund. Profitable holdings in the first half of the fiscal year included Apple Inc., Broadcom Ltd., and Samsung Electronics Co. We noted earlier that we thought the most productive smartphone investments may be among the component suppliers rather than the phone assemblers themselves. The suppliers are likely to offer proprietary (and therefore higher margin) products and to be sole source suppliers than was the case  in earlier product cycles.

Samsung is a perennially inexpensive stock which straddles both functions. It is at once an assembler of the successful Galaxy line of phones, but it also sits at the center of three important product cycles: OLED (organic light‐emitting diodes), NAND (negative AND gate) and DRAM (dynamic random‐access memory). The stock sells at approximately three times enterprise value to EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) in a Korean market that sells at only one times book, yet it is one of the most innovative companies in the world. It is the sole supplier of OLED panels which even Apple will start using this year. OLED technology will completely change the phone’s physical appearance, enhancing both the brightness and apparent size of the screen.  Many of its businesses, including OLED screens, are technologically insulated from meaningful competition. Whenever demand emerges in one of its product lines Samsung is usually among the most profitable participants. Today we also like it for its flash memory business where unit sales are growing more than 30% per annum. Profit margins are surging because new smartphones demand prodigious amounts of flash memory at a time supplies are restricted. This is an industry in which costs and prices ordinarily decline 20% per year but today prices are stable and unit growth is flowing through to profits. This dynamic could last for some time because in flash, new supply growth comes on grudgingly. Even in more traditional DRAM, capital expenditures have barely been sustained at maintenance levels so prices are rising in that product line as well.

The coming iPhone cycle will not only mark the ten year anniversary of the iconic product, but the new phone will appear in a totally different form and add new features. We think this adds a new dimension to the investment opportunity. Apple is a major holding but our exposure is greater in the suppliers whose content will increase in the coming version. Other investments also include Broadcom, Dialog Semiconductor and AMS.

Broadcom  supplies  radio  frequency  (RF)  circuitry  which  enables  faster  download  speeds.  Dialog  Semiconductor  supplies  a  custom  power management chip whose complexity enables a number of new features on the phone. AMS’s optical sensing technologies is key to enabling the 3D sensing features on the phone, which if done right could lead to new capabilities in virtual and augmented reality. We believe these capabilities and demand for the new phone could be as significant as the initial smartphone revolution was ten years ago.

Our commitments in India are growing. India is rapidly becoming Asia’s fastest growing economy. Its population is growing 2% per year and it could well be the world’s most populous economy inside of 5 years. It benefits from low commodity prices, its currency has already depreciated and the market is cheap. But more importantly reform is underway.

India is recovering slowly as the impact of Prime Minister Modi’s demonetization policies dissipate. Purchasing Managers’ Indexes (PMI) for both manufacturing and services are recovering. The longer term story includes a fast growing consumer economy and a visibly reformist government. Perhaps the best example of that are the moves being taken to reform India’s public banks where non‐performing credits reportedly reach high teens percentages of total assets. Our view is the faster reforms are brought on, the faster capital spending will rise and a capital spending cycle is key to unlocking the productivity boom India promises. In the meantime, because the Reserve Bank is forcing recognition of bad loans, capital is being depleted and lending for capital expenditures is temporarily depressed.  That may slow things in the short term but give the economy far better underpinnings longer term.

An important issue remains the situation surrounding India’s 27 public sector banks. Because of nonperforming loans which reach as high as 20% at some banks, they sell at half of book. Credit growth is stuck at 3% and that is a temporary headwind to private sector investment. Current reforms call for the establishment of an asset manager to whom bad loans can be assigned, much as China did at the turn of the century. A new bankruptcy code already in existence allows bad loans to be expunged from the banking system. Bad banks can no longer take deposits, a policy which sends them on the path to extinction. Our view is the private finance industry would benefit enormously as the state banks recede from the stage.

There is no lack of sources of growth in India. Even in the face of current financing headwinds, capital investment projects already announced rose to 2.6 trillion rupees up from 1.4 trillion in late 2016. An additional spur to growth will come from the government’s determination to build India’s housing stock. That policy is ingrained in incentives for home buying in the current year budget which reduces the cost of home buying up to 10%. Mortgage financing is a growth industry in India; growth averages 15‐20% per year. This incentive could accelerate that to upwards of 25%. One reason for that is the success  Prime Minister Modi’s demonetization scheme had in moving more of the population into the banking system, allowing mortgages to become the preferred way of financing property purchases. We believe  few financial firms can expect that type of growth with the low risk of loss which exists in India.

The Funds hold two of the more dominant mortgage providers, HDFC Ltd. and the lesser known Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd. Because of an expanding footprint, the latter company is growing revenues and earnings at 20% per annum, has a 1% non‐performing loan ratio, a 28% return on equity (ROE) and low teens price to earnings (P/E) multiple.

Our healthcare focus is on companies bringing new drugs to market and increasing patient populations. Our expectation that a rebound in sentiment and performance  among healthcare stocks post the presidential election played out. However, healthcare investing demands selectivity. Our exposure to growing biotechnology companies is the center post of our strategy in the sector. Large, cash rich drug companies are already bidding for undervalued growth assets, paying well above market prices to shore up their existing pipelines and plug patent cliffs. The potential for tax reform which would allow major drug companies to access hundreds of billions of dollars in offshore cash could underpin a prolonged bidding cycle for small and mid‐cap companies.

We understand the healthcare sector’s proclivity for being a political football and we have held only small positions in those companies most tied to healthcare reform, particularly those exposed to the inner workings of the healthcare insurance exchanges, Medicaid expansion or reduction, or the specter of government bidding and price pressures on Medicare drug spending. For example, we have avoided exposure to hospitals and health maintenance organizations (HMO’s), until regulatory changes are clearer.

The largest detractor in the funds was our short position in Lufthansa AG, the German airline. Customer traffic increased more than we expected, but the stock’s upward move on that news was exaggerated in our view. We still think the company’s pricing and market share will suffer from intensive capacity additions by short haul, Middle Eastern wide body global carriers plus low cost competition in Europe.  We will step aside from our position for now and look to reestablish it at a more attractive entry point.

The fixed income positions in the Global Dividend and Income Fund as well as the Global Opportunities Fund continue to be barbelled.  The funds have modest exposure to 30 year US Treasuries in the long end of the yield curve and exposure to investment grade corporate credits in the front end of the yield curve. We continue to have a low interest rate bias and believe future rate hikes by the Federal Reserve will force the yield curve to flatten over time.  We look to add to our long US Treasury position opportunistically.

We continue to look to build our positions in high dividend paying income stocks like commercial mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) Starwood Property Trust (STWD) and business development company Ares Capital Corp (ARCC).  Both of these names benefit in the long term from decreased competition from banks in financing commercial developers and middle market companies.  Because the majority of their loans are LIBOR* based, they benefit from a gradual rising rate environment.  Finally, we believe the 9 percent dividend yield in these names will continue to be attractive to investors starving for yield.

All three funds continue to make significant progress on the expense reduction initiative we started writing about last year. We can now report that the expense ratio is down 162 basis points or nearly 34% on a year over year basis in the Global Opportunities Fund. The Global Dividend and Income Fund expense ratio is down 144 basis points or roughly 36% and the Global Equity Fund expense ratio is down 173 basis points or roughly 38%. Please note that roughly half of the expense reduction has come from lower management and administration fees as a percentage of net assets while the remainder comes from reducing the costs associated with each fund’s short book.

While delivering positive returns like this last quarter is always a top priority, increasing shareholder value outside of performance is a constant focus ofour Board  of Directors (the “Board”). In addition to the expense  reductions mentioned above, the Board has also maintained a very attractive distribution rate for each Fund since its inception, and over the course of the last few years has authorized two share buyback programs, and  switched  the  distribution  frequency  from  a  quarterly  to  a  monthly  basis.  We  are  always  welcome  to  any  further  suggestion  from our shareholders.

Sincerely,

Charles I. Clough, Jr.

This letter is provided for informational purposes only and is not an offer to purchase or sell shares. Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Opportunities Fund (the “Funds”) are closed-end funds, which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT, and does not continuously issue shares for sale as open-end mutual funds do. The market price of a closed-end Fund is based on the  market’s value. 

The information in this letter represents the opinions of the individual Portfolio Managers and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, or investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 

MSCI World Index: a stock market index of world stocks. It is maintained by MSCI Inc. and is often used as a common benchmark for world or global stock funds. The index includes a collection of stocks of all the developed markets in the world as defined by MSCI. 

The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market price of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds) in the fund’s portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of fund shares outstanding. However, the fund also has a market price; the value of which it trades on an exchange. This market price can be more or less than its NAV. 

It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

RISKS

An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, annual report or semiannual report which contains this and other information visit www.cloughglobal.com or call 1-877-256-8445. Read them carefully  before investing. 

A Fund’s distribution policy will, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a shareholder’s assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund’s expense ratio. 

Distributions may be paid from sources of income other than ordinary income, such as net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of capital. Based on current estimates, we anticipate the most recent distribution has been paid from short-term and long-term capital gains. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon a Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the Fund provides a Section 19(a) notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. 

A Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers are subject to risks not usually associated with owning securities of U.S. issuers. These risks can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, social, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and foreign taxation issues. 

A Fund’s investments in preferred stocks and bonds of below investment grade quality (commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk bonds”), if any, are predominately speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. 

An investment by a Fund in REITs will subject it to various risks. The first, real estate industry risk, is the risk that the REIT share prices will decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. In general, real estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, the economic health of the country or of different regions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. The second, investment style risk, is the risk that returns from REITs—which typically are small or medium capitalization stocks—will trail returns from the overall stock market. The third, interest rate risk, is the risk that changes in interest rates may hurt real estate values or make REIT shares less attractive than other income-producing investments. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a preferred or debt security will become unable to meet its obligation to make dividend, interest and principal payments. 

Interest rate risk is the risk that preferred stocks paying fixed dividend rates and fixed-rate debt securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When interest rates rise the value of such securities generally will fall. Derivative transactions (such as futures contracts and options thereon, options, swaps, and short sales) subject a Fund to increased risk of principal loss due to imperfect correlation or unexpected price or interest rate movements. Compared to investment companies that focus only on large companies, the Fund’s share price may be more volatile because it also invests in small and medium capitalization companies.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Clough Global Funds Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND OPERATING POLICIES

Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (prior to July 31, 2016 known as Clough Global Allocation Fund), Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Global Opportunities Fund (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”), are closed‐end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Funds were organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on April 27, 2004,  January 25, 2005, and January 12, 2006, respectively for Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Global Opportunities Fund. The Funds were previously registered as non‐diversified investment companies. As a result of ongoing operations, each of the Funds became  a diversified company. The Funds may not resume operating in a non‐diversified manner without first obtaining shareholder approval. Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of total return. Each Declaration of Trust provides that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize separate classes of shares of beneficial interest.  The common shares of Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Global Opportunities Fund are listed on the NYSE MKT and trade under the ticker symbols “GLV”, “GLQ” and “GLO” respectively. The Board of each Fund announced, on September 12, 2014, that it had approved a change to the Funds' fiscal year‐end from March 31 to October 31.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  946 – Investment Companies.

The net asset value per share of each Fund is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or the “Exchange”)  is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). Trading may take place in foreign issues held by the Fund at times when a Fund is not open for business. As a result, each Fund’s net asset value may change at times when it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of a Fund.

Investment Valuation: Securities, including futures contracts, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds, closed‐end funds and participation notes held by each Fund for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price or if traded on the over‐the‐counter market, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on such day. Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded.  In certain countries market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. Market maker prices are usually the mean between the bid and ask prices. Certain markets are not closed at the time that the Funds price their portfolio securities. In these situations, snapshot prices are provided by the individual pricing services or other alternate sources at the close of the NYSE as appropriate. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and the asked quotes, or the last sale price when appropriate; otherwise fair value will be determined by the board‐appointed fair valuation committee. Debt securities for which the over‐the‐counter market is the primary market are normally valued on the basis of prices furnished by one or more pricing services or dealers at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices. As authorized by the Board, debt securities (including short‐term obligations that will mature in 60 days or less) may be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal, institutional‐size trading units of securities or a matrix method which considers yield or price of comparable bonds provided by a pricing service. Over‐the‐counter options are valued at the mean between bid and asked prices provided by dealers. Exchange‐traded options are valued at closing settlement prices. Total return swaps are priced based on valuations provided by a Board approved independent third party pricing agent.  If a total return swap price cannot be obtained  from an independent third party pricing agent the Fund shall seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent and/or executing broker.

If the price of a security is unavailable in accordance with the aforementioned pricing procedures, or the price of a security is unreliable, e.g., due to the occurrence of a significant event, the security may be valued at its fair value determined by management pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. For this purpose, fair value is the price that a Fund reasonably expects to receive on a current sale of the security. Due to the number of variables affecting the price of a security, however; it is possible that the fair value of a security may not accurately reflect the price that a Fund could actually receive on a sale of the security.

A three‐tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions  about  the  assumptions  market  participants  would  use  in  pricing  the  asset  or  liability  that  are  developed  based  on  the  best  information available.

Clough Global Funds Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the   measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2017, in valuing each Fund’s investments carried at value.  The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period in which the transfer occurred.  There were no transfers between Levels during the six months ended April 30, 2017.

* For detailed sector descriptions, see the accompanying Statement of Investments.

** Swap contracts and futures contracts are reported at their unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract's value from trade date.

In the event a Board approved independent pricing service is unable to provide an evaluated price for a security or Clough Capital Partners L.P. (the “Adviser” or “Clough”) believes the price provided is not reliable, securities of each Fund may be valued at fair value as described above. In these instances the Adviser may seek to find an alternative independent source, such as a broker/dealer to provide a price quote, or by using evaluated pricing models similar to the techniques and models used by the independent pricing service. These fair value measurement techniques may utilize unobservable inputs (Level 3).

On a monthly basis, the Fair Value Committee of each Fund meets and discusses securities that have been fair valued during the preceding month in accordance with the Funds’ Fair Value Procedures and reports quarterly to the Board on the results of those meetings.

Foreign Securities: Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that a Fund executes a foreign security transaction, the Fund will generally enter into a foreign currency spot contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.

The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is reported with investment securities realized and unrealized gains and losses in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

A foreign currency spot contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. Each Fund may enter into foreign currency spot contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to a Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using prevailing forward foreign currency exchange rates. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency spot contracts are reported in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable for investments sold or a payable for investments purchased and in the Funds’ Statements of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These spot  contracts are used by the broker to settle investments denominated in  foreign currencies.

Clough Global Funds Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

A Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign transactions, excluding investment securities. Such realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statements of Operations.

Exchange Traded Funds: Each Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), which are funds whose shares are traded on a national exchange. ETFs may be based on underlying equity or fixed income securities, as well as commodities or currencies. ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares in large blocks known as “creation units.” The investor purchasing a creation unit then sells the  individual  shares  on  a secondary  market.  Although  similar  diversification  benefits  may  be achieved  through  an  investment  in  another investment company, ETFs generally offer greater liquidity and lower expenses. Because an ETF incurs its own fees and expenses, shareholders of a Fund investing in an ETF will indirectly bear those costs. Such Funds will also incur brokerage commissions and related charges when purchasing or selling shares of an ETF. Unlike typical investment company shares, which are valued once daily, shares in an ETF may be purchased or sold on a securities exchange throughout the trading day at market prices that are generally close to the NAV of the ETF.

Short Sales: Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker‐dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.

Each  Fund's  obligation  to  replace  the  borrowed  security  will  be  secured  by  collateral  deposited  with  the  broker‐dealer,  usually  cash,  U.S. government securities or other liquid securities. Each Fund will also be required to designate on its books and records similar collateral with its custodian to the extent, if any, necessary so that the aggregate collateral value is at all times at least equal to the current value of the security sold short. The cash amount is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposit with broker for securities sold short which is held with one counterparty. Each Fund is obligated to pay interest to the broker for any debit balance of the margin account relating to short sales. The interest  incurred by the Funds is reported on the Statements of Operations as Interest expense – margin account. Interest amounts payable are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Interest payable – margin account.

Each Fund may also sell a security short if it owns at least an equal amount of the security sold short or another security convertible or exchangeable for an equal amount of the security sold short without payment of further compensation (a short sale against‐the‐box). In a short sale against‐the‐box, the short seller is exposed to the risk of being forced to deliver stock that it holds to close the position if the borrowed stock is called in by the lender, which would cause gain or loss to be recognized on the delivered stock. Each Fund expects normally to close its short sales against‐the‐box by delivering newly acquired stock. Since the Funds intend to hold securities sold short for the short term, these securities are excluded from the purchases and sales of investment securities in Note 4 and the Fund’s Portfolio Turnover in the Financial Highlights.

Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities: The following discloses the Funds’ use of derivative instruments and hedging activities.

The Funds’ investment objectives not only permit the Funds to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including, but not limited to, purchased and written options, swaps, futures and warrants. In doing so,  the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make  direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

Risk of Investing in Derivatives: The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease or hedge exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those  derivatives may not perform as expected, resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Funds to increase their market value exposure relative to their net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.

Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2017 41

Clough Global Funds Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.

Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.

Each Fund may acquire put and call options and options on stock indices and enter into stock index futures contracts, certain credit derivatives transactions and short sales in connection with its equity investments. In connection with a Fund's investments in debt securities, it may enter into related derivatives transactions such as interest rate futures, swaps and options thereon and certain credit derivatives transactions. Derivatives transactions of the types described above subject a Fund to increased risk of principal loss due to imperfect correlation or unexpected price or interest rate movements. Each Fund also will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivatives contracts purchased by a Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivatives  contract due to financial difficulties, each Fund  may  experience  significant  delays  in  obtaining  any  recovery  under  the  derivatives  contract  in  a  bankruptcy  or  other  reorganization proceeding. Each Fund may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Market Risk Factors: In addition, in pursuit of their investment objectives, certain Funds may seek to use derivatives, which may increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:

Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk:Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the value of the foreign currency denominated security will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Option Writing/Purchasing: Each Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option among others, is that a Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, a Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Each Fund is obligated to pay interest to the broker for any debit balance of the margin account relating to options. Each Fund pledges cash or liquid assets as collateral to satisfy the current obligations with respect to written options. The interest incurred on the Funds is reported on the Statements of Operations as Interest expense – margin account. Interest amounts payable by the Funds are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Interest payable – margin account.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is recorded as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund. Each Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

There was no written option or purchased option activity for the six months ended April 30, 2017.

Futures Contracts: Each Fund may enter into futures contracts.  A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a security or currency (or to deliver a final cash settlement price in the case of a contract relating to an index or otherwise not calling for physical delivery at the end of trading in the contract) for a set price at a future date. If a Fund buys a security futures contract, the Fund enters into a contract to purchase the underlying security and is said to be "long" under the contract. If a Fund sells a security futures contact, the Fund enters into a contract to sell the underlying security and is said to be "short" under the contract. The price at which the contract trades (the "contract price") is determined by relative buying and selling interest on a regulated exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable  for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  Such payables or receivables are recorded for financial statement purposes as variation margin payable or variation margin receivable by each Fund. Each Fund pledges cash or liquid assets as collateral to satisfy the current obligations with respect to futures contracts. The cash amount is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposit with broker for futures contracts which is held with one counterparty. Management has reviewed the futures agreement under which the futures contracts are traded and has  determined  that  the  Funds  do  not  have  the  right  to  set‐off,  and  therefore  the  futures  contracts  are  not  subject  to  enforceable  netting arrangements.

The Funds enter into such transactions for hedging and other appropriate risk‐management purposes or to increase return. While a Fund may enter into futures contracts for hedging purposes, the use of futures contracts might result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. If, for example, the Fund had insufficient cash, it might have to sell a portion of its underlying portfolio of securities in order to meet daily variation margin requirements on its futures contracts or options on futures contracts at a time when it might be disadvantageous to do so. There may be an imperfect correlation between the Funds’ portfolio holdings and futures contracts entered into by the Fund, which may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to risk of loss.

Futures contract transactions may result in losses substantially in excess of the variation margin. There can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the hedging vehicle and in the portfolio securities being hedged. An incorrect correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged securities in a Fund and the hedging vehicle so that the portfolio return might have been greater had hedging not been attempted. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when the Fund seeks to close out a futures contract. Lack of a liquid market for any reason may prevent a Fund from liquidating an unfavorable position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange‐traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange‐traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange‐traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

During the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Funds invested in futures contracts.

Swaps: During the year each Fund engaged in total return swaps. A 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 changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. Each Fund may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to certain assets and/or to “hedge” or protect the Fund from adverse movements in securities prices or interest rates. Each Fund is subject to equity risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective through investments  in swap contracts. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligation to a Fund. If the other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If each Fund utilizes a swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund’s total return.

Total return swaps involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk or credit risk is the discounted value of the payments to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between  a Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Each Fund pledges cash or liquid assets as collateral to satisfy the current obligations with respect to swap contracts. The cash amount is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposit with broker for total return swap contracts which is held with one counterparty.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by a Fund and those counterparties.  The ISDA Master Agreements  maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to early terminate could be material to the financial statements.

During the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Funds invested in swap agreements consistent with the Funds’ investment strategies to gain exposure to certain markets or indices.

Warrants/Rights:  Each Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in options above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange‐traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit each Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as each Fund would otherwise wish. During the period each Fund invested in warrants. Each Fund held no rights at the end of the period.

Certain derivative contracts are executed under either standardized netting agreements or, for exchange‐traded derivatives, the relevant contracts for a particular exchange which contain enforceable netting provisions. A derivative netting arrangement creates an enforceable right of set‐off that becomes effective, and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary  to perform under the contract.

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Restricted and Illiquid Securities: Although the Funds will invest primarily in publicly traded securities, they may invest a portion of their assets (generally, 5% of its value) in restricted securities and other investments which are illiquid. Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration.

The Funds may invest in securities for which there is no readily available trading market or which are otherwise illiquid. Illiquid securities include securities legally restricted as to resale, such as commercial paper issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A thereunder. Section 4(2) and Rule 144A securities  may, however, be treated as liquid by Clough  pursuant  to procedures adopted by the Board, which require consideration of factors such as trading activity, availability of market quotations and number of dealers willing to purchase the security.

The restricted securities held at April 30, 2017 are identified below and are also presented in the Funds' Statement of Investments:

Income Taxes: Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.  As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each Fund intends to make a level dividend distribution each month to Common Shareholders after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings. The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time. Any net capital gains earned by a Fund are distributed at least annually to the extent necessary to avoid federal income and excise taxes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the ex‐dividend date. Each Fund has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 19b‐1 there under permitting each Fund to make periodic distributions of long‐term capital gains, provided that the distribution policy of a Fund with respect to its Common Shares calls for periodic (e.g. quarterly/monthly) distributions in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of each Fund’s average net asset value over a specified period of time or market price per common share at or about the time of distributions or pay‐out of a level dollar amount.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income and Dividend expense‐short sales are recorded on the ex‐dividend date. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as a Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex‐dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Withholding taxes  on foreign dividends are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.  Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Counterparty Risk: Each of the Funds run the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract, a borrower of each Fund’s securities or the obligor of an obligation underlying an asset-backed security will be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, or settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. In addition, to the extent that each of the Funds use over-the-counter derivatives, and/or has significant exposure to a single counterparty, this risk will be particularly pronounced for each of the Funds.

Other Risk Factors: Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, the following:

Unforeseen developments in market conditions may result in the decline of prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the Funds. These events may have adverse effects on the Funds such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Funds, and a decrease in net asset value. Such unforeseen developments may limit or preclude the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objective.

Investing in stocks may involve larger price fluctuation and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. This may cause the securities held by the Funds to be subject to larger short-term declines in value.

The Funds may have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions and/or possible impositions of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have unique risks not present in securities of U.S. issuers, such as greater price volatility and less liquidity.

Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that a security could have its credit rating downgraded or that the issuer of the security could fail to make timely payments or default on payments of interest or principal. Additionally, fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the decline in the price of debt securities that accompanies a rise in interest rates. Bonds with longer maturities are subject to greater price fluctuations than bonds with shorter maturities.

The Funds invest in bonds which are rated below investment grade. These high yield bonds may be more susceptible than higher grade bonds to real or perceived adverse economic or industry conditions. The secondary market, on which high yield bonds are traded, may also be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds.

2.  TAXES

Classification of Distributions: Net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the year ended October 31, 2016, were as follows:

	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Return of Capital		Total
Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund
October 31, 2016	$	–	$	6,159,918	$	8,281,647	$	14,441,565
Clough Global Equity Fund
October 31, 2016	$	–	$	15,868,789	$	7,640,117	$	23,508,906
Clough Global Opportunities Fund
October 31, 2016	$	–	$	9,287,743	$	50,435,017	$	59,722,760

Tax Basis of Investments: Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments based on federal tax cost as of April 30, 2017, were as follows:

	Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund			Clough Global Equity Fund			Clough Global Opportunities Fund
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)	$	27,401,658		$	55,037,985		$	114,786,702
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)		(15,721,967	)		(29,467,836	)		(68,334,233	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	11,679,691		$	25,570,149		$	46,452,469
Cost of investments for income tax purposes	$	201,724,133		$	311,202,770		$	790,036,134

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized depreciation is attributable primarily to wash sales and tax treatment of certain other investments.

3.  CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

Common Shares: There are an unlimited number of no par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Fund.

The Board of each Fund announced, on April 20, 2015, that it had approved a share repurchase program in accordance with Section 23(c) of the 1940 Act. Under the share repurchase program, each Fund may purchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares as of April 9, 2015, in the open market, through the Funds’ fiscal year end of October 31, 2015. The Board of Trustees of each Fund approved, in October 2015, to extend the share repurchase program through the Funds’ fiscal year end of October 31, 2016.  The Board of each Fund approved, in December 2016, to extend the share repurchase program through the Funds’ fiscal year end of October 31, 2017. In April 2017, the Board temporarily suspended the share repurchase program in light of prevailing discount rates.

5.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENTS

Clough serves as each Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”) with each Fund. As compensation for its services to the Fund, Clough receives an annual investment advisory fee of 0.70%, 0.90% and 1.00% based on Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s, respectively, average daily total assets, computed daily and payable monthly.

Both Clough and ALPS are considered to be “affiliates” of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act.

6.  COMMITTED FACILITY AGREEMENT AND LENDING AGREEMENT

Each Fund entered into a financing package that includes a Committed Facility Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated January 16, 2009, as amended, between each Fund and BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (“BNP”) that allows each Fund to borrow funds from BNP. Each Fund is currently borrowing the maximum commitment covered by the agreement. Each Fund entered a Special Custody and Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) dated December 9, 2013, as amended, between each Fund, the Funds’ custodian, and BNP. As of October 31, 2016, the Pledge Agreement was assigned from BNP to BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd. Per the Pledge Agreement, borrowings under the Agreement are secured by assets of each Fund that are held by a Fund’s custodian in a separate account (the “pledged collateral”) valued at $139,281,068, $202,288,319 and $577,872,540 for the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund, respectively. Each Fund may, with 30 days notice, reduce the Maximum Commitment Financing (Initial Limit amount plus the increased borrowing amount in excess of the Initial Limit) to a lesser amount if drawing on the full amount would result in a violation of the applicable asset coverage requirement of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Interest is charged at the three month LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus 0.70% on the amount borrowed and 0.65% on the undrawn balance. Each Fund also pays a one-time arrangement fee of 0.25% on (i) the Initial Limit and (ii) any increased borrowing amount in the excess of the Initial Limit, paid in monthly installments for the six months immediately following the date on which borrowings were drawn by the Fund.

The Agreement was amended on October 31, 2016, to decrease the Maximum Commitment Financing, effective October 28, 2016, to $72,000,000, $113,000,000 and $292,000,000 for the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and the Clough Global Opportunities Fund, respectively. Prior to October 28, 2016 the Maximum Commitment Financing was $93,300,000, $156,000,000 and $388,900,000 for the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and the Clough Global Opportunities Fund, respectively.  For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the average borrowings outstanding for Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund under the agreement were $72,000,000, $113,000,000 and $292,000,000, respectively, and the average interest rate for the borrowings was 1.74%. As of April 30, 2017, the outstanding borrowings for Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund were $72,000,000, $113,000,000 and $292,000,000, respectively.

Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2017 51

Clough Global Funds Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

The Lending Agreement is a separate side-agreement between each Fund and BNP pursuant to which BNP may borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (the “Lent Securities”) in an amount not to exceed the outstanding borrowings owed by a Fund to BNP under the Agreement. The Lending Agreement is intended to permit each Fund to significantly reduce the cost of its borrowings under the Agreement. BNP has the ability to re-register the Lent Securities in its own name or in another name other than the Fund to pledge, re-pledge, sell, lend or otherwise transfer or use the collateral with all attendant rights of ownership. (It is each Fund’s understanding that BNP will perform due diligence to determine the creditworthiness of any party that borrows Lent Securities from BNP.) Each Fund may designate any security within the pledged collateral as ineligible to be a Lent Security, provided there are eligible securities within the pledged collateral in an amount equal to the outstanding borrowing owed by a Fund. During the year in which the Lent Securities are outstanding, BNP must remit payment to each Fund equal to the amount of all dividends, interest or other distributions earned or made by the Lent Securities.

Under the terms of the Lending Agreement, the Lent Securities are marked to market daily, and if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by a Fund to BNP under the Agreement (the “Current Borrowings”), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to each Fund’s custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with each Fund’s custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, each Fund will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings.  Each Fund can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP shall, to the extent commercially possible, return such security or equivalent security to each Fund’s custodian no later than three business days after such request. If a Fund recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending Agreement, and BNP fails to return the Lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable for the ultimate delivery to each Fund’s custodian of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to reduce the outstanding amount of the Current Borrowings against which the pledged collateral has been secured.  Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. Under the terms of the Lending Agreement, each Fund shall have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then current fair value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings.  As of April 30, 2017, the value of the Lent Securities for Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund were $66,000,260, $104,858,994 and $263,821,951, respectively.

The Board has approved each Agreement and the Lending Agreement. No violations of the Agreement or the Lending Agreement have occurred during the six months ended April 30, 2017.

Each Fund receives income from BNP based on the value of the Lent Securities. This income is recorded as Hypothecated securities income on the Statements of Operations. The interest incurred on borrowed amounts is recorded as Interest on loan in the Statements of Operations, a part of Total Expenses.

7.  OTHER

The Independent Trustees of each Fund receive from each Fund a quarterly retainer of $3,500 and an additional $1,500 for each board meeting attended. The Chairman of the Board of each Fund receives a quarterly retainer from each Fund of $4,200 and an additional $1,800 for each board meeting attended. The Chairman of the Audit Committee of each Fund receives a quarterly retainer from each Fund of $3,850 and an additional $1,650 for each board meeting attended.

Effective November 1, 2015, the Independent Trustees determined to change the additional per-meeting fees for each special telephonic board meeting attended to the following: (i) $500 for each Independent Trustee; (ii) $600 for the Chairman of the Board; and (iii) $550 for the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Independent Trustees will continue to not receive any additional fees for in-person or telephonic committee meetings.

8.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements.” It includes an update to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 (“Topic 820”), Fair Value Measurement.  The update to Topic 820 clarifies the difference between a valuation approach and a valuation technique.  It also requires disclosure when there has been a change in either or both a valuation approach and/or a valuation technique.  The changes related to Topic 820 are effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU to the financial statements.

9.  SEC REGULATIONS

On October 13, 2016, the SEC amended Regulation S-X, which will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact to the financial statements and disclosures.

Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2017 53

Clough Global Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Unless the registered owner of Common Shares elects to receive cash by contacting DST Sytems, Inc. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in each Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional Common Shares. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by contacting the Plan Administrator, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re–invest that cash in additional Common Shares for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your Common Shares to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each Common Shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such Common Shareholder’s Common Shares are registered. Whenever a Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non–participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from a Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open–Market Purchases”) on the American Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per Common Share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per Common Share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open–Market Purchases. In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex–dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open–Market Purchases. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open–Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the net asset value per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open–Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open–Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open–Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the net asset value per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of Common Shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by a Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open–Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a sale of Common Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, each Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, DST Systems, Inc.,  333 West 11^th Street, 5^th Floor, Kansas City, Missouri 64105.

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted there under. Each Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for each Fund.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in these 19(a) notices are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for 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 for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each Fund’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, each Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by each Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month. Each Fund’s current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

Clough Global Funds Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

On April 13, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each of Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (“GLV”), Clough Global Equity Fund (“GLQ”) and Clough Global Opportunities Fund (“GLO” and together with GLV and GLQ, each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) met in person to, among other things, review and consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with each Fund (each, an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”).  During their review of each Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered in general the nature, quality and scope of services to be provided by Clough.

Prior to the beginning of their review of the Advisory Agreements, counsel to the Funds, who also serves as independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussed with the Trustees their role and fiduciary responsibilities in general and also specifically under the 1940 Act with respect to the renewal of each Advisory Agreement.

Representatives from Clough discussed Clough’s materials relating to the Trustees’ consideration of renewal of the Advisory Agreements. It was noted that included in the Board materials were responses by Clough to a request letter prepared by legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees to the Funds to assist the Board in evaluating whether to renew the Advisory Agreements (the “15(c) Materials”). The Board noted that the 15(c) Materials were extensive, and included information relating to: each Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, advisory fee and expense comparisons and profitability to Clough; financial information regarding Clough; descriptions of policies, including compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; information about the personnel providing investment management services to the Funds; and the nature of services provided under each Advisory Agreement.

The Board reviewed the organizational structure and business operations of Clough.  The Board also reviewed the qualifications of Clough and its principals to act as each Fund’s investment adviser. The Board considered the professional experience of the portfolio managers, Eric A. Brock and Charles I. Clough, Jr., Partners at Clough, as well as Robert Zdunczyk, portfolio manager of the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund (collectively, the “Portfolio Managers”), emphasizing that each of the Portfolio Managers had substantial experience as an investment professional. The Trustees acknowledged their familiarity with the expertise and standing in the investment community of the Portfolio Managers, and their satisfaction with the expertise of Clough and the services provided by Clough to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the portfolio management team was well qualified to serve the Funds in those functions.

The Board considered various investment products managed by Clough other than the Funds. The Board also considered the adequacy of Clough’s facilities. The Trustees concluded that Clough appeared to have adequate procedures and personnel in place to ensure compliance by Clough with applicable law and with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions.

The Board considered the terms of the Advisory Agreements, pursuant to which Clough receives a fee of 0.70%, 0.90% and 1.00% based on the average daily total assets of Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund, respectively. The Trustees considered the fees charged by Clough to other clients for which it provides comparable service, Clough’s balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2016, and a profit and loss analysis as it relates to Clough’s advisory business.

The Board considered Clough’s procedures relating to compliance and oversight, noting that a copy of Clough’s compliance program was included in the Board materials. The Board further considered  information provided by Clough on whether Clough has experienced or anticipates it may experience conflicts of interest in managing the Funds.  The Board also considered that the materials contained information regarding Clough’s business continuity and disaster recovery plans as well as steps Clough has undertaken to reasonably detect and prevent cybersecurity crimes. The Board also considered information related to Clough’s trading activities and how Clough monitors best execution. The Board considered the possible benefits Clough may accrue because of its relationship with the Funds as well as potential benefits that accrue to the Funds because of their relationship with Clough. The Board considered that Clough does not realize any direct benefits due to the allocation of brokerage and related transactions on behalf of the Funds.

The Board considered materials regarding the comparability of the investment advisory fees of the Funds with the investment advisory fees of other investment companies (each, an “Expense Group”), which had been prepared by Strategic Insight, an Asset International Company (“Strategic Insight”). The Board also considered information in the Strategic Insight report regarding each Fund’s investment performance as well as comparisons of each Fund’s performance with the performance during similar periods of other funds in its Expense Group and comparisons of cost and expense structures of each Fund with the cost and expense structures of other funds in the relevant Expense Group, and related matters.

The Board took into consideration that the Funds may be unique in the registered fund marketplace and that Strategic Insight had a difficult time presenting a large peer group for comparison. For each Fund, the Board compared fees from other leveraged closed-end investment companies that Strategic Insight classified as “global funds” versus Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s fees as part of the expense group (the “Expense Group”).  The Board considered the extent to which each Fund utilizes leverage and short sales, thereby increasing its investment-related expenses and concluded that the use of leverage and short sales is an important part of each Fund’s investment strategy to attempt to meet each Fund’s investment objective. The Board also considered that investment related expenses should be viewed as operational in nature and should not be considered a management expense.  The Board further considered that Strategic Insight defined investment related expenses to include, but not be limited to, dividends on securities sold short, interest expense, reverse repurchase agreements, swaps, tender costs, and auction fees.

The Independent Trustees met in executive session and with the assistance of legal counsel reviewed and discussed in more detail the information that had been presented relating to Clough, the Advisory Agreements and Clough’s profitability.

After executive session, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, present in person, with the Independent Trustees present in person voting separately, unanimously concluded that the investment advisory fee of 0.70% of Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund’s total assets, 0.90% of Clough Global Equity Fund’s total assets and 1.00% of Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s total assets are fair and reasonable for each respective Fund and that the renewal of each Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each respective Fund and its shareholders.
