Managed distribution policy—key points to note | |
• | The Fund has a managed distribution policy. Since June 2011, the Fund makes regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 6% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of a month (usually a Friday, unless the NYSE is closed that day). (From August 2009 through the monthly distribution for May 2011, the annualized rate had been 7%.) |
• | To the extent that the Fund’s taxable income in any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value, the Fund would make an additional distribution in the amount of that excess near the end of the fiscal year. To the extent that the aggregate amount distributed by the Fund (based on a percentage of its net assets) exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of that excess would constitute a return of capital or net realized capital gains for tax purposes. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the Fund is deemed to be paid back to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” |
• | You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the monthly distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. |
• | The Fund periodically issues notices and press releases estimating the source characteristics of its monthly distributions. The amounts and sources reported in these materials are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV (or your financial intermediary should provide you with similar information) for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
• | The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares. |
• | Further information regarding the Fund’s managed distribution policy is contained in the section captioned “Distribution policy” towards the end of this report. |

Dear shareholder, | |
This report provides an overview of the performance of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six months ended May 31, 2012. The Fund commenced operations in February 1992, and passed its twentieth anniversary during the review period. In May 2012, we announced the expansion of the portfolio management team as further resources are devoted to helping the Fund seek its investment objectives. After the conclusion of this letter, we provide more information about the expanded portfolio management team. | |
Performance | |
Over the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund returned 3.63% on a net asset value basis, and generated a 6.20% return on a market price basis. Over the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Strategic Global Benchmark1 (the “Benchmark”), returned 2.46%. Finally, the median returns for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Global Income Funds category, were 3.19% and 7.79% on a net asset value and market price basis, respectively. (For more on the Fund’s performance, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 10.) |

have done. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside, and creates a wider range of returns within the Fund’s peer group.
The Fund traded at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”)2 per share during the reporting period. At the close of the preceding reporting period, November 30, 2011, the Fund traded at a discount of 7.4%; at the close of the current reporting period, May 31, 2012, the Fund traded at a discount of 5.5%. As of these same dates, the Lipper peer group medians reported discounts of 5.3% and 1.1%, respectively.
An interview with the Portfolio Managers | |
Q. | How would you describe the global economic environment during the reporting period? |
A. | During the first half of the reporting period, data in the US suggested that its economy was gathering some momentum, as unemployment edged lower, consumer spending improved and the manufacturing sector continued to expand at a solid pace. However, as the reporting period progressed, there were some indications that the US economy may be experiencing a soft patch. In particular, employment gains moderated and manufacturing activity weakened somewhat. |
Economic growth in developed countries outside the US generally weakened and, in some cases, moved into negative territory during the reporting period. The fallout from the ongoing sovereign debt crisis negatively impacted growth in Europe. Several countries, including the UK, fell back into a recession as they experienced two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. In contrast, Japan’s economy expanded at a stronger pace during the reporting period. Elsewhere, while growth rates in many developing countries continued to surpass their developed country |
2 | A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV. Alternatively, a fund trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its NAV. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding. |

counterparts, in many cases they expanded at a less robust pace during the reporting period. | |
The US spread sectors3 experienced periods of volatility during the period. The spread sectors were initially supported by improving economic conditions in the US economy and corporate profits that often exceeded expectations. Against this backdrop, demand for lower quality, higher yielding securities was generally strong during the first half of the period. As the period progressed, concerns that the global economy was slowing and fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis then led to several flights to quality. Consequently, US Treasury yields moved sharply lower and the spread sectors generally lagged equal duration Treasuries during the second half of the period. | |
The emerging markets debt asset class, despite generating weak results at times, performed well during the six months ended May 31, 2012. The asset class rallied from the end of December 2011 through February 2012. This was driven by positive economic news in the US and expectations for a soft landing4 for China’s economy. In addition, concerns relating to the European sovereign debt crisis moderated, as the European Central Bank’s three-year Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) soothed the markets. Nevertheless, the asset class weakened somewhat in March, as new issuance increased and investors appeared to capture some of their earlier profits. With demand resuming in April, the asset class again rallied, only to fall sharply in May as numerous macro concerns led to a flight to quality. | |
Q. | How did you position the portfolio from a duration standpoint? |
A. | The Fund’s duration was somewhat shorter than its benchmark during the reporting period, due to our expectations for continued, albeit relatively modest, global growth. The Fund’s duration positioning was a slight negative for results over the period. (Duration measures |
3 | A spread sector refers to non-government fixed income sectors, such as high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and investment grade corporate bonds. The spread measures the difference between the yields paid on non-government securities versus those paid on government securities (in this example, US Treasuries) of comparable duration. |

a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and is related to the maturity of the bonds comprising the portfolio.) | |
Q. | Which currency strategies did you use during the period? |
A. | We tactically adjusted the Fund’s currency exposures during the reporting period. Our positions in the Japanese yen and Norwegian krone—where the Fund generally had long positions—benefited performance. This was offset by the Fund’s short positions in the Australian dollar and Swiss franc. In addition, the Fund’s overweight to local emerging markets currencies was a drag on results, as they lagged relative to the US dollar given an increase in risk aversion during the second half of the reporting period. Overall, currency exposure did not meaningfully impact Fund performance during the reporting period. |
Q. | Which other strategies impacted the Fund’s results over the period? |
A. | Overall, spread management was positive over the period, particularly due to the Fund’s out-of-benchmark exposure to the US spread sectors. In particular, the Fund’s allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities, investment grade bonds and US high yield bonds posted positive results as their spreads narrowed, especially during the first half of the reporting period. In addition, the Fund’s allocation to US Treasuries, as well as our avoidance of peripheral European bonds, contributed to performance. |
As mentioned, the Fund’s emerging market local currency exposures were a drag on results. Our preference for local currencies was based on our positive long-term outlook for certain currencies, as well as what we viewed to be the superior yields they offered versus US dollar-denominated currencies. However, local currencies performed poorly as investors avoided asset classes that were perceived to be riskier. | |
Q. | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the reporting period? |
A. | Toward the end of the reporting period, we made several adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio. Given increased risk aversion, investors flocked to the relative safety of government debt from countries such as the US and Germany, driving their yields to record low levels. Based on our view that these yields were unsustainably low, and given the |
4 |
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Fund’s primary objective to achieve a high level of current income, with capital appreciation a secondary objective in the selection of investments, we pared our exposures and added to the Fund’s allocation to high-quality US agency mortgage backed securities (MBS). Not only do we feel this will help reduce the Fund’s interest rate risk, but we also believe agency MBS offer more attractive yields. | |
Q. | What derivative instruments had the greatest impact on performance during the reporting period? |
A. | The Fund utilized various currency derivatives (such as currency forwards, options and swaps) to manage its currency exposures across both developed and emerging markets currencies. These instruments were successful in helping us to adjust the Fund’s currency exposures, although the overall currency strategy had a marginal impact on performance over the period. (Currency forwards are agreements based on the exchange rates between currencies at a future date.) |
As part of its spread management strategy, the Fund utilized various credit derivatives (such as credit default swaps and structured notes) to efficiently gain or hedge risk exposures across markets, sectors and issuers. As noted above, overall spread management strategy was highly beneficial to performance over the period. | |
Lastly, while the Fund’s use of several different interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps, futures and swaptions) to adjust its duration and yield curve positioning had a positive impact on performance, the overall duration and yield curve management strategy detracted over the review period. | |
Q. | What is your outlook on the global economy and fixed income markets? |
A. | While recent economic data in the US have triggered concerns of a soft patch, we continue to feel that the US economy has enough momentum to continue expanding, albeit at a modest pace. We also feel that inflation will be relatively benign. Against this backdrop, the Fed should maintain its highly accommodative monetary policy which, in our view, would be supportive for higher yielding securities. The outlook for economic growth outside the US is clouded by the |
5 |
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
overhang of the European sovereign debt crisis and uncertainties over the policy response in the region. There are also questions regarding the Chinese government’s response to moderating growth in its economy. Against this backdrop, we expect to see continued periods of heightened market volatility. | |
We continue to have a positive long-term outlook for emerging markets investments, although volatility may stay elevated in the near-term, due to market uncertainty and investor risk aversion. In our view, demand for emerging market bonds will be supported by investors’ search for higher-yielding securities, and by strong sovereign and corporate balance sheets in emerging markets. Strong fundamental data, stable reserves, a more solid fiscal situation and lower indebtedness are signs of such strengths, especially for emerging market sovereigns, quasi-sovereigns and currencies. |

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. portfolio management team expansion
During the reporting period, the Fund issued a press release announcing the expansion of its portfolio management team. Information regarding the new team is repeated below.
Effective mid-May 2012, the Fund’s investment team was expanded from a team-based structure with a single lead portfolio manager to one led by multiple portfolio managers. Uwe Schillhorn, Head of Emerging Markets Debt at UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), who had been the lead portfolio manager for the Fund, was joined by the following individuals, each of whom will focus on specific aspects of managing the Fund:
Scott Dolan, Managing Director of UBS Global AM
Years of investment industry experience: 23
Mr. Dolan is a member of the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee. In his current role, he is responsible for overseeing the overall strategy and portfolio management of multi-sector and securitized debt portfolios. Mr. Dolan has been with UBS Global AM since 2008.
John Dugenske, CFA, Managing Director of UBS Global AM
Years of investment industry experience: 23
Mr. Dugenske is a member and the chairman of the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee. As Head of North American Fixed Income, he has overall responsibility across all fixed income investment capabilities at UBS Global AM. Mr. Dugenske has been with the firm since 2009.
Craig Ellinger, CFA, Managing Director of UBS Global AM
Years of investment industry experience: 21
Mr. Ellinger is a member of the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee. In his current role, he is responsible for managing all aspects of UBS Global AM’s global high yield business. Mr. Ellinger joined the firm in 2000.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Brian Fehrenbach,CFA, Managing Director of UBS Global AM
Years of investment industry experience: 25
Mr. Fehrenbach is a member of the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee. In his current role, he is responsible for overseeing the overall strategy and portfolio management of multi-sector funds and unconstrained strategies at UBS Global AM. Mr. Fehrenbach has been with the firm since 2006.
Mr. Schillhorn, who has been involved in the management of the Fund since November 2003, continues to be part of the management team, with a focus on overseeing investment decisions relating to the emerging markets debt sector. Mr. Schillhorn is also a member of the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee.
UBS Global AM believes that this new team structure better aligns the Fund with its multi-sector investment strategy. It furthermore advances an investment approach that has already been employed to a degree with the Fund, as Mr. Schillhorn has historically drawn upon the fuller array of resources of UBS Global AM’s Fixed Income team, benefiting from the insights and opportunities identified by his colleagues to make investment decisions for the Fund.

Credit quality ratings shown are based on those assigned by Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), to individual portfolio holdings. S&P is an independent ratings agency. Rating reflected represents S&P individual debt issue credit rating. While S&P may provide a credit rating for a bond issuer (e.g., a specific company or country); certain issues, such as some sovereign debt, may not be covered or rated and therefore are reflected as non-rated for the purposes of this table. |

Portfolio footnotes | ||
* | Non-income producing security. | |
1 | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At May 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $22,533,822 or 11.08% of net assets. | |
2 | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At May 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $15,742,389 or 7.74% of net assets. | |
3 | Security is illiquid. At May 31, 2012, the value of these securities and other derivative instruments amounted to $31,020,714 or 15.25% of net assets. | |
4 | Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of May 31, 2012 and changes periodically. | |
5 | PIK—Payment-in kind security. Income may be paid in cash or additional notes, at the discretion of the issuer. | |
6 | Perpetual bond security. The maturity date reflects the next call date. | |
7 | Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities’ principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers’ country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity. | |
8 | All or a portion of these securities have been designated as collateral for open swap agreements. | |
9 | Rate shown reflects annualized yield at May 31, 2012 on zero coupon bond. | |
10 | Security has yet to make its first payment. Security pays, when required, a floating rate that is determined annually based on the Argentina GDP. | |
11 | Amount represents less than 0.005%. | |
12 | Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the Board of Directors. At May 31, 2012, the value of this security amounted to $10 or 0.00% of net assets. |

14 | Payments made or received are based on the notional amount. | |
15 | If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. | |
16 | Payments from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced index/obligation. | |
17 | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. | |
18 | Credit spreads, where available, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring for the credit derivative. The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity. | |
19 | Payment made to fully fund swap. | |
20 | Payment is based on the interest payment of the underlying Brazilian Government bond, 6.000%, due 08/15/12. | |
21 | Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the end of the period. At May 31, 2012, securities were transfered from Level 3 to Level 2 as the valuation is based on observable inputs from an established pricing source. |

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

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

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM” or the “Advisor”), the investment advisor of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s or instrument’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (”NYSE”).

Certain securities or instruments in which the Fund invests are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. However, if the Fund determines that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.
The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board (or a committee designated by it) determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. The Fund values investments in non-registered US open-end investment companies at the daily net asset value, pursuant to the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund’s custodian.
Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board (or by a committee designated by it).

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Fund may contain credit-risk

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of May 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of May 31, 2012, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of the Fund is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended May 31, 2012. The Fund may be a seller of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements).

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations
69 |
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.
The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its assets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.
Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar.
Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or liquid securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded as part of Due to or Due from broker for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s)for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
The Fund may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s)for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose
72 |

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of May 31, 2012 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section “Credit default swaps on sovereign issues—sell protection” in the Notes to portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments

received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/ depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.
Structured notes may present a greater degree of market risk than many types of securities and may be more volatile and less liquid than less

complex securities. Structured notes are also subject to the risk that the issuer of the structured notes may fail to perform its contractual obligations.
In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

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

The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund did not lend any securities during the period ended May 31, 2012.

addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 were as follows:
Distributions paid from: | 2011 | ||
Ordinary income | $ | 29,208,647 | |
Net long-term capital gains | 3,155,126 | ||
Total distributions paid | $ | 32,363,773 | |
The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2012.
As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended November 30, 2011 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after November 30, 2011, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
At November 30, 2011, the Fund had no pre-enactment net capital loss carryforward.

The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.
A shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records.
An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.
Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend/ distribution may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other
82 |

distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.
Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O.Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-866-352 5528.

Monthly distributions based on a fixed percentage of the Fund’s net asset value may require the Fund to make multiple distributions of long-term capital gains during a single fiscal year. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission that enables it to do so. The Fund’s Board receives recommendations from UBS Global AM, the Fund’s investment advisor, periodically and no less frequently than annually will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made.
