Section 19(b) Disclosure

NOVEMBER 30, 2014(unaudited)

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund (“MGU” or the “Fund”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), has adopted a plan, consistent with its 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, the Fund currently distributes $0.35 per share on a quarterly basis.

The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Fund’s Board. Under the Plan, the Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its 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 quarterly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly 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 the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the

amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Fund’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The 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 the Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

A cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for the Fund’s current fiscal period if applicable, would be included in Additional Information. Section 19(a) notices for the Fund, as applicable, are available on the Fund website www.macquarie.com/mgu.

Introduction

We are pleased to present this annual report to the shareholders of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. for the twelve months ended November 30, 2014 (“Period”). The Fund commenced operations and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 26, 2005.

Performance & Portfolio Review

Global infrastructure securities enjoyed strong performance in the Period, well above the returns from global equities.

Stock markets in the major developed economies commenced 2014 in a choppy fashion due to a combination of profit-taking after last year’s strong gains, reappraisal of lofty earnings growth expectations and concerns about the global impact of US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering. The underlying nervousness in risk asset markets was reinforced in January as concerns about the impact of the tapering of the Fed’s Quantitative Easing (“QE”) asset purchases on emerging market economies were reignited. Investors subsequently focused on developments in Ukraine and Russia, as well as slower growth and financial strains appearing in China.

Policymakers in the major economies reaffirmed their commitment to growth and prosperity as they continued to confront structural

weaknesses in their respective economies. This commitment was beneficial for risk assets, as global equities enjoyed strong tailwinds in Q2. However, the impetus for global growth continued to come from the major developed economies, while emerging market economies continued to struggle with various macro stability issues.

Global equities began the summer on a relatively stable note. Data released in June indicated the recovery in developed economies remained on track, while developing economies showed signs of stabilization. Markets remained focused on central bank policy, in particular the European Central Bank (ECB) and Fed policy announcements. The CBOE Volatility Index^®, a measure of expected equity market volatility, fell to its lowest level since early 2007.

During the September quarter, geopolitical and macro events contributed to some volatility as investors watched continued developments in Ukraine and the Middle East, the Argentine government’s default and problems at Portuguese bank Banco Espirito Santo. Economic data highlighted the widening gap between strengthening economic recovery in the US and generally lackluster activity elsewhere. The challenges of navigating a very uneven global landscape were further complicated by worries about Chinese growth, concerns of encroaching Eurozone deflation, geopolitical tension, and uncertainties

   2   

about the timeline for Fed interest rate normalization.

Global equities finished the Period in positive territory. Central banks remained at the forefront in global markets in November, with Japan, Europe and China all stepping up their accommodative monetary policies. The Fed began to lay the groundwork for potential rate increases in 2015, having completed its asset purchase program in October, closing a program that had provided significant support to most markets.

For the Twelve-Month Period Ended November 30, 2014(1)	Total     Returns     (%)(2)
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund – NAV	21.24
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund – Market Price	28.42
S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net Total Return)(3)	14.37
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Index(4) (“MGII”)	16.10
MSCI World Index (Net Total Return)(5)	8.91

Past performance is not indicative of future results. One cannot invest directly in an index.

There were a number of factors driving the Fund’s total NAV return during the Period:

— The strong performance of energy pipeline stocks, particularly in the U.S. and Canada;

— The good performance in the Electric Utilities sector;

— The strength in the Toll Road and Rail/Other Transportation sectors; and

— Weakness in the Seaport sector

Let’s look at these reasons in further detail.

Pipelines

The Pipelines sector was the largest contributor to the Fund’s total return in the Period. Enbridge Inc was a leading performer as the company’s stock surged following the Q1 announcement of a C$7 billion project within its Canadian mainline system. Late in the Period, the company received regulatory approval to proceed with the construction of its Flanagan South pipeline in the midwest United States. The line will connect with Enbridge’s existing mainline system in Chicago to allow the transportation of crude oil south to the US Gulf Coast. The pipeline, which should begin service in early 2015, is an example of the attractive organic growth opportunities available to incumbent pipeline network owners.

Energy Transfer Equity was another notable outperformer. In mid 2014,

the company secured sufficient customer commitments to proceed with two large long haul pipeline projects. The first pipeline will transport crude oil from the Bakken region and connect with its existing Trunkline pipeline, to provide access to Midwest, East Coast and Gulf Coast markets. The second pipeline will connect Marcellus/Utica gas to various markets in the US and Canada, also using the existing Trunkline pipeline to access the Gulf Coast market. These projects highlight the diversity of Energy Transfer’s business, as well as the value-adding options provided by its existing asset footprint.

Williams Companies was another meaningful contributor after announcing that it would acquire the remaining 50% interest in the general partner of Access Midstream Partners (ACMP) and common units from a private equity firm for US $6 billion. Williams also proposed to merge ACMP with Williams Partners (WPZ). As a result, the company raised dividend growth guidance for the next three years to 36%, 26% and 15%, respectively, from 20% per annum previously.

Magellan Midstream Partners also performed well, especially early in the Period after posting strong Q1 earnings results and raising overall guidance for 2014. It also placed into service the Bridgetex pipeline, providing a conduit for crude oil from the prolific Permian Basin to reach the Houston Gulf Coast area.

Electric Utilities

Many US and European utilities rebounded from earlier weakness as the Period began. American Electric Power performed strongly after it reported earnings above consensus, raised full-year guidance and confirmed its long-term growth outlook. In France, GDF Suez began the year very strongly after it increased 2014 earnings guidance, confirmed a dividend cut (which was already anticipated by investors) and terminated its asset disposal program. It also reported results above consensus.

SSE plc in the UK also performed well after receiving a better than expected proposal by the UK energy regulator for its electricity distribution business. The company closed the Period strongly due to improving business fundamentals and reduced risk after Scotland voted to remain in the UK. PG&E also gained strongly after the uncertainty and potential downside in relation to penalties arising from the 2010 residential gas pipeline explosion in San Francisco were significantly reduced early in the Period.

CMS Energy Corporation was another strong performer as the company posted particularly solid results within a sector that enjoyed broad gains in the Period. On the negative side, Energias Do Brazil was one of the few detractors as macroeconomic headwinds proved to be an obstacle to share price returns.

   4   

Toll Roads

The Toll Road sector posted a strong return, led by European toll roads such as Atlantia and Abertis Infraestructuras, which benefited from declines in domestic bond yields as well as the improved investor sentiment towards the macro outlook. Abertis also completed a number of transactions as it executed its portfolio rationalization strategy. The Fund’s largest holding, Transurban, performed well after announcing two major Australian transactions in April - the acquisition of Queensland Motorways and an upgrade to CityLink in Melbourne. In May, Transurban successfully completed an *$A2.3 billion equity raising to help fund the acquisition. Transurban finished the year more than 20% above the entitlement offer price. On the negative side, Vinci traded lower late in the Period as the market focused heavily on the potential for a slowdown in the construction side of the company, notwithstanding that it is a relatively small component of its valuation and its French motorways and Portuguese airports continued to perform well.

Rail/Other Transportation

In the Rail sector, Groupe Eurotunnel began the Period strongly after it reported solid operating performance in Q4 2013, driven by record full year passenger volumes on the Eurostar train service. It also benefitted from the publication of a consultant’s

report forecasting 14 million passengers each year on high-speed rail between the UK and Europe by 2020 (up around 40% from 2013.) The stock made further gains after increasing its dividend and providing 2015 guidance above expectations.

East Japan Railway performed well as more information became available about the large public-private project to redevelop areas around the Shinagawa station in Tokyo. The plan includes adding a station as part of the Yamanote loop train by 2020. The company also announced plans for a new railway line that would link Haneda Airport with the Tokyo and Shinjuku stations.

Seaports

Seaports was the only significant sector to experience a decline. Shares of Vopak fell after the company reported disappointing first quarter results and downgraded full year guidance due to deteriorating performance in its European terminals. However, it recovered following its half-year results and guidance upgrade in August. China Merchants was weaker largely due to undertaking a significant fund raising through offering mandatory convertible (to equity) debt securities.

Cosco Pacific and Dalian Port suffered early declines on global growth concerns, but recovered those losses late in the Period, to post positive returns.

Leverage

Leverage made a positive contribution to the Fund’s return during the Period.

As of November 30, 2014, the Fund had US$ 90 million and EUR 35 million in leverage outstanding. At Period-end, the Fund’s leverage was 27.3% of its total assets, which is within the limit outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus. To avoid magnifying the exposure to U.S. dollars due to leverage, the Fund also borrowed Euros to help offset the currency exposure of the investments with the currency of the borrowings.

In determining the leverage level for the Fund, we balance the cost

of leverage against the longer term potential for enhanced yield and capital returns.

Performance Relative to reference benchmarks

The Fund, which is not managed against any benchmark, strongly outperformed two reference benchmarks, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net Total Return) and the Macquarie Global Infrastructure Index (“MGII”). The Fund also strongly outperformed the MSCI World Index (Net Total Return). The main contributors to the Fund’s outperformance were the benefit of leverage and stock selection across the portfolio.

Fund Diversification by Country & Sector

At the end of the Period, the Fund held positions in 53 global infrastructure stocks representing 16 countries and 12 infrastructure sectors.

The table below shows the top ten holdings in the Fund as of November 30, 2014.

Distributions

The Fund raised its quarterly distribution to $0.35 per share in December 2013 and maintained that distribution in March 2014, June 2014 and September 2014. Altogether, the Fund paid $1.40 per share during this Period.

Based on current estimates we anticipate this has been paid from net income and long-term capital gains. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2014, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2014.

Outlook

Against the backdrop of increased financial markets volatility, declining commodity prices and downgrades to the International Monetary Fund’s global growth forecasts, concerns about the strength and durability of global demand have emerged. Indeed, the recent disinflationary trends in commodity and energy prices are being driven by demand-side factors, which have replaced supply-side influences in global markets. On balance, continuing uneven activity, low levels of nominal income growth and ongoing structural challenges are being interpreted by investors as portending another year of sub-potential growth.

Given the weak economic outlook and ongoing debt pressures in Europe, we expect to continue to see further asset sales either by

companies or by governments, which may provide investment opportunities. For example, in November Italian electric utility company, Enel, sold a further stake in its Spanish subsidiary Endesa to reduce its debt, while German utility company, E.ON, sold its business in Spain and Portugal - an integrated electric utility operating in electricity distribution, electricity generation and electricity and gas supply.

While recent months have seen an increase in overall volatility, we believe that this has created some attractively valued opportunities. Given the current level of monetary stimulus in the global economy, the portfolio remains positioned with a defensive bias. While we maintain a cautious stance in Europe, we have added exposure selectively. We continue to have a positive view on the Pipeline sector where we believe low risk, value-enhancing investment opportunities that should drive further earnings and dividend growth.

We continue to identify what we believe are attractive global listed infrastructure companies and are looking for opportunities to selectively increase our holding or introduce to the portfolio stocks that we believe are oversold.

Conclusion

The Fund’s investment strategy is to invest in the listed securities of companies globally that own and/ or operate infrastructure assets that

   8   

we believe provide essential services, have strong strategic positions, and are well positioned to generate sustainable and growing cash flow streams for shareholders from their infrastructure assets.

We believe that MGU provides investors with an attractive vehicle to access the broad global universe of listed infrastructure securities. We continue to appreciate your investment in the Fund.

⁽⁴⁾ The security has been segregated to satisfy the commitment to return the cash collateral received in securities lending transactions upon the borrower’s return of the securities loaned. (Note 7)

⁽⁵⁾ Leverage facility expressed as a percentage of net assets. However, leverage limitations are calculated based on Total Assets as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus. (Note 6)

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is a diversified, closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund was previously registered as a non-diversified investment company. Pursuant to current positions of the SEC staff, an investment company that is non-diversified but then operates continuously as diversified for three years becomes a diversified investment company. Accordingly, the Fund has become a diversified investment company and may not resume operating in a non-diversified manner without first obtaining shareholder approval. With respect to 75% of its assets, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities or instruments of any single issuer. With respect to the 25% that is not subject to the 5% limitation, the Fund does not intend to acquire, at the time of investment, more than 7% in any one issuer. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide to its common stockholders a high level of total return consisting of dividends and other income and capital appreciation.

The Fund’s shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker “MGU”.

The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents are funds (proceeds) temporarily invested in original maturities of 90 days or less.

Restricted Cash: As of November 30, 2014, the Fund did not classify any funds (proceeds) as restricted.

Portfolio Valuation: The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares of common stock will be computed based upon the value of the securities and other assets and liabilities held by the Fund. The NAV is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. U.S. debt securities and non-U.S. securities will normally be priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities (subject to the fair value policies described below).

   20   

Readily marketable portfolio securities listed on any U.S. exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined, or if no sale price, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on such day. Securities admitted to trade on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price as determined by NASDAQ. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. U.S. equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities admitted to trading on the NASDAQ National Market, are valued at the closing bid prices.

Non-U.S. exchange-listed securities will generally be valued using information provided by an independent third-party pricing service. The official non-U.S. security price is determined using the last sale price at the official close of the security’s respective non-U.S. market, which is usually different from the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur between such times and the close of the NYSE that will not always be reflected in the computation of the value of such securities. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, these securities will be valued at

their fair value according to the procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level, prices are derived from factors using Interactive Data Corporation’s (“IDC”) Fair Value Information Service (“FVIS”) model. For this reason, significant events will cause movements between Level 1 and Level 2 (see following description of inputs and levels beginning on the next page). Non-U.S. securities, currencies and other assets denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. Dollar as provided by a pricing service. When price quotes are not available, fair market value may be based on prices of comparable securities in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy.

Forward currency exchange contracts are valued by calculating the mean between the last bid and asked quotation supplied to a pricing service by certain independent dealers in such contracts. Non-U.S. traded forward currency contracts are valued using the same method as the U.S. traded contracts. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the closing price in the market where such contracts are principally traded. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets & Liabilities, as applicable. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the currencies changes unfavorably to the U.S. Dollar.

   21   

Notes to Financial Statements

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

In the event that the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular security, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, especially with unlisted securities or instruments, fair value is determined by the Valuation Committee. Except as otherwise designated by the Board of Directors, the Valuation Committee shall be comprised of at least five members designated by the Fund or MCIM, each of whom are officers of the Fund, representatives of MCIM and/or representatives of ALPS Fund Services, Inc. A quorum of the Valuation Committee will consist of a minimum of three voting members, provided that the members present include at least one of the following: the Portfolio Manager, the Chief Financial Officer (or appropriate designee) or the Trader. The Chief Compliance Officer (or appropriate designee) must be in attendance, but shall be non-voting. In fair valuing the Fund’s investments, the Valuation Committee will consider the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pronouncements on valuations, including Accounting Series Release No. 118, to the extent relevant.

A variety of factors may be considered when determining the fair value of such securities, including, but not limited to the following:

— the type of security

— the size of the holding

— the cost of the holding

— the financial statements of the issuer

— the fundamental business data relating to the issuer

— an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased or sold

— transactions in comparable securities

— price quotes from dealers and/ or pricing services

— information obtained from contacting the issuer, analysts or appropriate stock exchange

— the existence of merger proposals or tender offers that might affect the value of the security

Fair Value Measurements: The Fund discloses the classification of its fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. 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 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 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.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an

   22   

indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing Management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other

characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The Fund evaluates transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers during the period.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers between the levels during the reporting period. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of each reporting period. In accordance with procedures established by, and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors, certain equity securities listed or traded on foreign security exchanges in the Fund’s portfolio may include a fair valuation adjustment factor applied to their equity prices as of the end of the period and may be categorized as Level 2. Application of fair valuation adjustment factors was not deemed necessary at the end of the period and as such, equity securities listed or traded on foreign security exchanges were categorized as Level 1.

There were no Level 3 securities as of November 30, 2014. Thus, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs were used (Level 3) is not applicable for the Fund.

*   For detailed country descriptions, see accompanying Schedule of Investments,

Foreign Currency Translation:

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Prices of securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of securities, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents

net foreign exchange gains or losses from the closure of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and losses arising from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, other than security investments,

   24   

at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. The Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of securities sold during the year. The Fund may invest in foreign securities and foreign currency transactions that may involve risks not associated with domestic investments as a result of the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability, among others.

The Fund has elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment.

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund intends to distribute to holders of its common shares quarterly distributions of all or a portion of its net income and/ or realized gains after payment of interest in connection with any leverage used by the Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund has received approval from the SEC for exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 19b-1 thereunder permitting the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains more frequently than otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act, provided that the Fund adheres to the distribution policy that requires the Fund to make level distributions each quarter to shareholders of common stock after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

2. Income Taxes and Tax Basis Information

The Fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year. The Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

As of and during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2008-2014 as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which

it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Classification of Distributions: Net investment income/loss and net realized gain/loss may differ for financial statements and tax purposes. The tax character of the distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Fund during the years ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

	2014		2013
Ordinary Income	$	16,230,209	$	16,846,050
Long-Term Capital Gain		1,225,402		–
Total	$	17,455,611	$	16,846,050

Tax components of distributable earnings are determined In accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from composition of net assets reported under GAAP. Accordingly, for the year ended November 30, 2014, the effects of certain differences were reclassified. The Fund decreased its accumulated net investment income by $1,944,903, decreased paid in capital by $84,689, and increased accumulated net realized gain by $2,029,592. These differences were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of foreign currency and investments in partnerships. Net assets of the portfolio were unaffected by the reclassifications and the calculation of net

investment income per share in the Financial Highlights excludes these adjustments.

During the year ended November 30, 2014, the Fund utilized $8,428,314 of capital loss carryover.

As of November 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Accumulated capital gain	$	2,904,793
Unrealized appreciation		35,057,879
Other cumulative effect of timing differences		2,720
Total	$	37,965,392

   26   

As of November 30, 2014, net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments based on federal tax costs was as follows:

Gross appreciation on investments (excess of value over tax cost)	$	65,799,401
Gross depreciation on investments (excess of tax cost over value)		(33,770,070	)
Net appreciation of foreign currency		3,028,548
Net unrealized appreciation	$	35,057,879
Total cost for federal income tax purposes	$	449,550,674

The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation and cost were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of investments in partnerships and wash sale deferrals. The timing differences are due to the partially estimated application of the passive activity loss rules related to the Fund’s investments in master limited partnerships.

3. Capital Transactions

	Year Ended November 30, 2014		Year Ended November 30, 2013
	Shares		Shares

The tender offer subsequently expired on April 3, 2013 and as a result, the Fund redeemed 1,385,366 shares of common stock, at a price equal to $21.37 per share, which represented 92% of the Fund’s NAV per share as of the close of regular trading session of the NYSE on April 4, 2013.

On July 21, 2014 the Board of Directors approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with

   27   

Notes to Financial Statements

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

MCIM (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which MCIM serves as the Fund’s investment manager and is responsible for determining the Fund’s overall investment strategy and implementation through day-to-day portfolio management, subject to the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. MCIM is also responsible for managing the Fund’s business affairs, overseeing other service providers and providing management services. As compensation for its services to the Fund, MCIM receives an annual management fee, payable on a quarterly basis, equal to the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s Total Assets (as defined below) up to and including $300 million, 0.90% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $300 million up to and including $500 million, and 0.65% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $500 million. Total Assets of the Fund, for the purpose of this calculation, include the aggregate of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus proceeds from any outstanding borrowings used for leverage.

The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with a brokerage firm which is an affiliate of MCIM. The commissions paid to the affiliated firm totaled $21,170 for the year ended November 30, 2014.

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) is the Fund’s Administrator and Fund Accountant in accordance with certain fee arrangements. As compensation for its services, ALPS receives certain out-of-pocket expenses and asset-based fees, which are accrued daily and paid monthly (in arrears). Fees paid to ALPS are calculated based on

average daily net assets of the Fund. ALPS receives the greater of the following: an annual minimum of $400,000, or an annualized fee of 0.06% on assets up to $1 billion and an annualized fee of 0.04% on assets above $1 billion.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”) serves as the Fund’s Transfer Agent, dividend-paying agent, and registrar. As compensation for Computershare’s services, the Fund pays Computershare a monthly fee plus certain out-of-pocket expenses.

6. Leverage

The Fund entered into a Committed Facility Agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. (the “BNP Paribas Facility” or “Agreement”), which provides for a committed credit facility to be used as leverage for the Fund. The BNP Paribas Facility provides for secured, committed lines of credit for the Fund, where selected Fund assets are pledged against advances made to the Fund. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund, after any such borrowings, must have “asset coverage” of at least 300% (33 1/3% of the Fund’s Total Assets after borrowings). Under the current terms, the total amount of loans that may be outstanding at any one time, or the Maximum Commitment Financing (“MCF”), under the BNP Paribas Facility is $120,000,000 and €40,000,000. The Fund may reduce the MCF by a total aggregate amount of up to $20,000,000 upon one business day’s prior notice (no more than one time per calendar month) following a ramp up period. The Fund pays 0.70% per annum above 3-month LIBOR for the U.S.

   28   

Dollar line and 0.70% above the 3-month EURIBOR for the Euro line. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% on the undrawn MCF.

On July 23, 2014, $60,000,000 of the U.S. Dollar line was fixed at a rate of 2.453% for a five year period. The fund paid an arrangement fee of 0.25% on the fixed rate borrowing.

As of November 30, 2014, the Fund had $30,000,000 and €35,000,000 in leverage outstanding on the variable lines and $60,000,000 outstanding on the fixed line. The daily average amounts outstanding on the variable lines were $74,205,479, with an average rate on the borrowing of 0.93%, and €28,306,011, with the average rate on borrowing of 0.92%.

The unused amounts under the BNP Paribas Facility were $30,000,000 and €5,000,000 at November 30, 2014. The loan payable is carried at cost, and the Euro line is adjusted for foreign currency translation daily. At November 30, 2014 the Fund maintained an asset coverage of 367% and the market value of the securities pledged as collateral for the BNP Paribas Facility totaled $300,128,165.

7. Lending of Portfolio Securities

From time to time the Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. The loans are secured by collateral in the form of cash that is equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the U.S. securities, and at least 105% of the fair value of the non-U.S. securities loaned plus accrued interest, if any. The collateral must have a market value at least equal to 100% of the market

value of the loaned securities at all times during the duration of the loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Fund. Under the lending agreement, the Fund has the right to recover the securities from the borrower on demand, and loans are subject to termination by the lending Fund or the borrower at any time. While the lending Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan, it intends, to the extent practicable, to terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if the matter to be voted upon is considered significant with respect to the investment. The risks of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, which could result in losses to the Fund. The Fund receives cash collateral that is invested in the Invesco Short-Term Investments Trust Treasury Portfolio. This collateral must be valued daily; should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the lending Fund. The Fund bears the risk of any income or gains and losses from investing and reinvesting cash pledged as collateral. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the lending Fund the economic equivalent of any dividends or interest paid on such securities. In the event the borrower defaults on

   29   

Notes to Financial Statements

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

its obligation to the lending Fund, the lending Fund could experience delays in recovering its securities and possible capital losses. As

of November 30, 2014, the Fund had securities on loan valued at $7,310,680 and received cash collateral with a value of $7,646,600.

The lending agreement is considered a master netting agreement and in the event of a default by the borrower, creates a single payment obligation for the Fund. The following table presents the securities on loan subject to a master netting agreement as of November 30, 2014:

							Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
Description	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset In The Statement of Assets and Liabilities		Net Amounts Presented In The Statement of Assets and Liabilities		Financial Instruments*		Cash Collateral Pledged		Net Amount
Securities Lending	$	7,310,680	$	—	$	7,310,680	$	(7,310,680)	$	—	$	—
Total	$	7,310,680	$	—	$	7,310,680	$	(7,310,680)	$	—	$	—

*   These amounts do not include the excess collateral received.

8. Soft Dollar Arrangement

MCIM maintains commission sharing arrangements with various executing brokers in which a portion of total commissions paid by the Fund is allocated to a pool of “credits” maintained by a broker. These credits may be used to pay for a portion of MCIM’s permitted investment research services.

9. Compensation of Directors

The non-interested Directors of the Fund receive a quarterly retainer of $8,750 and the Chairman of the Board of Directors receives a quarterly retainer of $10,938. Non-interested Directors and the Chairman also receive an additional $2,500 for each meeting attended, and $1,500 for each telephonic meeting. Additional out-of-pocket expenses may be paid as incurred.

10. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

11. Subsequent Events

Distributions: On December 5, 2014, the Fund announced a Board-approved regular quarterly distribution of $0.35 per common share. The distribution was paid on December 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on December 23, 2014.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) at November 30, 2014, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used

and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless a stockholder of MGU (“Stockholder”) elects to receive cash distributions, all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, on the Stockholder’s Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Agent, Computershare, in additional Common Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. If a Stockholder elects to receive cash distributions, the Stockholder will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the Stockholder by Computershare, as dividend paying agent.

If a Stockholder decides to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares the Stockholder will receive will be determined as follows:

— If Common Shares are trading at or above NAV at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV per Common Share on that date or (ii) 95% of the market price on that date.

— If Common Shares are trading below NAV at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the

purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market within 30 days of the valuation date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with federal securities laws. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.

A Stockholder may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Agent, or by telephone in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Plan Agent and Fund may agree upon. If a Stockholder withdraws or the Plan is terminated, the Stockholder will receive a certificate for each whole share in its account under the Plan and the Stockholder will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in its account. If the Stockholder wishes, the Plan Agent will sell the Stockholder’s shares and send the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions, if any, to the Stockholder.

The Plan Agent maintains all Stockholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information a Stockholder may need for tax records. Common Shares in an account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. The Plan Agent will forward to each participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held only in accordance with proxies

   32   

returned to the Fund. Any proxy a Stockholder receives will include all Common Shares received under the Plan.

There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of a Stockholder’s dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that a Stockholder does not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions.

If a Stockholder holds Common Shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, the Stockholder will not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Stockholders should consult their financial adviser for more information.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the 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, Computershare, PO Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, 1-866-587-4518.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

The Directors, including all of the non-interested Directors, met on July 21, 2014 and considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with MCIM (the “Advisory Agreement”) for a one-year term. In their consideration, the Directors took into account a memorandum from MCIM titled “Information in support of renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement” dated July 2014, regarding the services rendered to the Fund by MCIM (the Memorandum), relevant information provided and discussed during the meeting, the experience of the principal portfolio managers, as well as the broader portfolio management team, the organizational structure and key personnel of MCIM’s securities business and MCIM’s financial statements and information relating to its profitability. The Directors also considered a memorandum titled “Directors’ Duties and Responsibilities in Connection with the Renewal of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement” dated June 16, 2014 describing the legal duties of the Directors under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which was reviewed with their independent counsel. The Directors also considered information prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) comparing the Fund’s fee rate for management services and expense and performance characteristics to those of other funds. In particular, the Directors considered the following:

   33   

Additional Information

NOVEMBER 30, 2014 (unaudited)

(a) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser. The Directors reviewed the services that MCIM provides to the Fund and considered its reputation as a manager of infrastructure assets. The Independent Directors considered the information in the Memorandum, specifically related to the position of the Macquarie Fund Group (“Macquarie”) as a global market leading infrastructure manager, Macquarie’s global infrastructure network, the extent of MCIM’s team and its ability to leverage Macquarie’s global infrastructure capabilities, its strong portfolio construction and risk management process and the Fund’s performance in light of current economic conditions. Based on this presentation, the Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by MCIM under the Advisory Agreement supported the Board’s re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.

(b) Management fee, expense ratio and investment performance of the Fund, including a comparison of services rendered and fees paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients. The Directors reviewed two sets of presentations prepared by Lipper that compared the Fund’s performance, management fees and expenses to other closed-end sector equity funds, including the other closed-end

infrastructure fund sub-advised by MCIM. One set of funds was selected by Lipper and the other set selected by MCIM based on disclosed criteria. The Independent Directors reviewed the section of the Memorandum explaining the limitations of the Lipper data. The Directors concluded that the Fund’s fees appeared commensurate with the responsibilities undertaken by MCIM when carrying out the Fund’s complex investment process. The Directors concluded that the information presented supported the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.

(c) Cost of the services to be provided and profits realized by MCIM from the relationship with the Fund. The Directors considered the pro forma income statement relating to the cost of the services provided by MCIM and the profits realized by MCIM from its relationship with the Fund. It was noted that affiliates of MCIM did not derive any material direct or indirect economic benefits from MCIM’s relationship with the Fund, other than through commissions received by an affiliated broker/ dealer. On a quarterly basis, the Board is provided with the Rule 17e-1 transaction reports, including commissions paid with respect to those transactions. Rule 17e-1 transactions are those executed with an affiliated broker-dealer. Currently, the commissions paid for every trade is an agreed-upon five (5) basis points. After reviewing the pro forma financial information, the Directors concluded that the

   34   

profitability of MCIM attributable to the Fund did not suggest that the investment advisory fee was so disproportionately large that it could not have been the product of arms’ length bargaining.

(d) The extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale. The Directors considered that economies of scale should be predicated on increasing assets and that, because the Fund is a closed-end fund without daily inflows and outflows of capital, together with the decline in the Fund’s assets, there were not at this time significant economies of scale to be realized by MCIM in managing the Fund’s assets.

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Directors. In addition, the Directors’ consideration of the advisory fee arrangements had the benefit of a number of years of reviews during which lengthy discussions took place between the Directors and MCIM representatives. Certain aspects of the arrangements may have received greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Directors’ conclusions may be based, in part, on information considered in prior years or learned throughout the period of their service. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Directors, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the advisory fee is reasonable in relation to the services provided by MCIM to the Fund, as well as the costs incurred and benefits gained by MCIM in

providing such services. As a result, all of the Directors, including the Independent Directors, approved the continuation of Advisory Agreement. It was noted that the Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations. Certain discussions and conclusions occurred during executive session but are summarized here, for ease of presentation.

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

The following is a copy of the Registrant’s policies and procedures:

Registrant’s (MGU) Proxy Voting Procedures

Macquarie Capital Investment Manager LLC (“MCIM”) is the adviser of MGU and is responsible for voting proxies on its behalf. MCIM has adopted the following policies and procedures designed to ensure that all such votes are in the best interest of MGU.

a) MCIM’s policy is to vote on all proxies for securities held by MGU consistently and in the best interest of MGU and its shareholders, considered as a group rather than individually, unless it determines that abstaining from the vote would be in the best interest of MGU. For this purpose, “best interest” means in the best economic interest of MGU and its shareholders, as investors (hereafter, collectively, “MGU”), without regard to any self-interest which MCIM, its management or affiliates might have in a particular voting matter or any interest which MGU shareholders may have other than their economic interest, in common, as MGU investors.

b) MCIM has engaged the services of Institutional Shareholder Services to make recommendations to MCIM with respect to voting proxies related to securities held by MGU. Institutional Shareholder Services’ recommendations will be based on Institutional Shareholder Services’ pre-established voting guidelines.

c) MCIM will review each Institutional Shareholder Services recommendation and will generally vote in accordance with such recommendation unless it determines that the recommendation is not in the best interest of MGU.

d) In the event that MCIM determines that it is not in the best interest of MGU to vote, or to vote in accordance with an Institutional Shareholder Services recommendation, regarding a particular voting matter, MCIM will document its reasons for such determinations.

e) In the event that MCIM manages the assets of a company or its pension plan and the Fund holds securities issued by that company, MCIM will vote proxies relating to that company’s securities in accordance with Institutional Shareholder Services’ recommendations to avoid any actual or apparent conflict of interest in the matter.

f) In the event, apart from the situation described in e) immediately above, that MCIM determines it has an actual, potential or apparent conflict of interest regarding a particular voting matter, it will generally follow the Institutional Shareholder Services recommendation to ensure that such conflict is avoided. Should MCIM determine that a vote according to Institutional Shareholder Services’ recommendation regarding such a matter would not be in the best interest of MGU, MCIM will promptly escalate the matter so that voting instructions may be obtained from the MGU Board of Directors upon the advice, if sought, of legal counsel or other advisers to the Fund and/or its independent directors.

g) MCIM will follow any specific voting procedures adopted by MGU, unless it determines that it is unable to do so. In the event that MCIM is unable, for any reason, to follow specific procedures adopted by MGU, it will document the reasons for its determination and promptly so notify the Board of Directors of MGU or their appointed delegate.

Material Conflicts of Interest. Macquarie Capital Investment Management LLC (the “Adviser”) believes that Mr. Ong’s and Mr. Frishberg’s simultaneous management of the Registrant and other accounts may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and other accounts. To address these conflicts, the Adviser has adopted a Trade Allocation/Aggregation Policy that is designed to ensure fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager Compensation as of November 30, 2014:

Compensation consists of three components:

1. fixed remuneration in the form of a base salary;

2. variable (at risk) pay in the form of an annual profit share allocation; and

3. a long term incentive in the form of stock (applies to Director level employees only).

Fixed remuneration takes into consideration the role of each individual and market conditions. Remuneration is reviewed on a yearly basis in March/April and takes effect from 1 July of that year.

Aggregate staff profit share is linked to Macquarie Group’s profitability and return on ordinary equity, with the allocation of individual profit share being based on factors including

6

contribution to profit, use of capital, funding and risk. Macquarie Group operates profit share retention arrangements for employees meeting certain pay thresholds, to ensure an appropriate balance between short and longer-term incentives. Retained profit share is invested in the Macquarie Employee Retained Equity Plan (MEREP) to further align employee and shareholder interests as well as enhance Macquarie Group’s ability to attract and retain high caliber talent.
