                        466 LEXINGTON AVENUE, 16TH FLOOR
                            NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10017


                                                                  March 28, 2001


Dear Shareholder:

    We are pleased to invite you to the 2001 annual meeting of shareholders of
Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc., which is referred to in this
letter as "CIK."

    The annual meeting is scheduled to be held at 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Tuesday, May 1, 2001, at the offices of CIK's investment manager, Credit Suisse
Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), 466 Lexington Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New
York 10017. Shareholders who are unable to attend this meeting are strongly
encouraged to vote by proxy. A Proxy Statement/Prospectus regarding the meeting,
a proxy card for your vote at the meeting and an envelope--postage prepaid--in
which to return your proxy card are enclosed.


    At the annual meeting, you will be asked to vote on a number of proposals,
the most significant of which is the proposed combination or reorganization of
CIK and Credit Suisse Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
("CGF"), in which CIK will acquire all the assets and liabilities of CGF in
exchange for CIK shares. As a result of the reorganization, each CGF shareholder
will receive CIK shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the
aggregate net asset value of such shareholder's CGF shares.


    The CIK Board's approval and recommendation that you vote for the
reorganization springs from a number of issues which CIK's investment advisor
and directors have been considering over a period of time. First, while very
much wishing to retain the closed-end characteristic of CIK, it has been the
unanimous view of the Board that an increase in CIK's asset size could
potentially benefit shareholders in several ways: the expense ratio could be
reduced, CIK's investment flexibility and opportunities could be enhanced and
analyst coverage of CIK might be expanded, a factor that the investment advisor
has identified as one that may positively affect the discount/premium at which a
closed-end fund trades.


    As some of you may recall, CIK participated in a rights offering in 1996
that had the benefit of increasing CIK's size. Presently, the Board has
concluded that the proposed reorganization, which is expected to bring $84
million of net assets into CIK and result in a combined fund with approximately
$280 million in net assets (based on current asset levels), would offer CIK
shareholders the benefits of a larger size without diluting their net asset
value. Of course, it would also permit CGF, which has less assets than CIK to
experience the advantages of expanded size as well.



    In addition, the Board recently adopted a new investment policy whereby CIK
may invest up to 35% of its net assets in emerging markets debt securities and
accepted a recommendation from the investment advisor to partially reposition
CIK's portfolio. As a result, CIK has liquidated its investment-grade debt
securities portfolio (approximately 15% of CIK's net assets) and re-deployed
those assets in emerging market debt securities.



    The Board of Directors and the investment advisor believe that the
reorganization is in step with CIK's investment objective of seeking current
income and consistent with the repositioning of CIK's portfolio. For example, by
acquiring the assets of CGF, CIK is expected to be able to better pursue its
objective because some of those assets represent higher yielding emerging
markets debt. In addition, a portion of CGF's portfolio is comprised of domestic
high yield debt that, although still below investment grade, is rated higher
than the domestic high yield debt held by CIK. Although this is expected to
result in a reduction in yield, it will contribute to the credit quality balance
of CIK. Moreover, studies have shown that an international component to a
portfolio can help to stabilize it because domestic and international markets
will sometimes move in opposite directions.



    Given the advantages of increased size and the change in the investment
portfolio, the Board of Directors believes the proposed reorganization is in the
best interests of CIK's shareholders. For the reasons set forth above and in the
accompanying proxy materials, the Board (whose members also serve on the Board
of Directors of CGF) has unanimously approved this reorganization and
recommended that CIK shareholders vote to approve it.


    The proposed reorganization is described in more detail in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.

    You are also being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement with
CSAM. The new agreement will be substantially the same as the current agreement
except that the investment advisory fee paid to CSAM will be based upon the
lower of the average weekly stock price (market value) of CIK's outstanding
shares or its average weekly net assets. By virtue of this structure, CIK will:

    - reduce its investment advisory fees if its shares trade at a discount,
      thereby lowering its expense ratio, and


    - more closely align the interests of CSAM with the interests of the
      shareholders, which are aimed at enhancing the Fund's market value.


    The new investment advisory agreement, which was proposed by CSAM in
recognition of the economies of scale that would result from the combination of
CIK and CGF, would take effect only upon the consummation of the Reorganization.


    At the annual meeting, you will also be asked to elect five (5) management
nominees standing for election to CIK's Board of Directors.



    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CIK BELIEVES THAT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION AND
THE OTHER PROPOSALS ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU READ THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND THEN VOTE FOR EACH PROPOSAL,
INCLUDING CIK'S NOMINEES.



    Your vote is important. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT NOW TO SIGN AND RETURN YOUR
PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID RETURN ENVELOPE. If we do not receive
your signed proxy card after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a
telephone call from our proxy solicitor, Georgeson Shareholder Communications,
reminding you to vote your shares. If you prefer, you can vote by telephone or
through the Internet in accordance with the instructions provided on your proxy
card. If any of your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other
nominee, please follow the steps indicated in the enclosed voting instruction
sheet when voting your shares or contact the party responsible for your account.



    Voting by telephone or through the Internet will reduce the time and costs
associated with the proxy solicitation. When CIK's agent records proxies by
telephone or through the Internet, it will use procedures designed to
(i) authenticate shareholders' identities, (ii) allow shareholders to authorize
the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and
(iii) confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders
voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated
with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and
telephone companies, that must be borne by the shareholder.


    Whichever voting method you choose, please read the full text of the proxy
statement before you vote.


    If you have any questions regarding the proposed reorganization or need
assistance in voting your shares, please feel free to call Georgeson Shareholder
Communications at (800) 223-2064, who will be pleased to assist you.


    IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS BE RECEIVED PROMPTLY.

Dear Shareholder:

    We are pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders of Credit
Suisse Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc., which is referred to
in this letter as "CGF."

    The special meeting is scheduled to be held at 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Tuesday, May 1, 2001, at the offices of CGF's investment manager, Credit Suisse
Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), 466 Lexington Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New
York 10017. Shareholders who are unable to attend this meeting are strongly
encouraged to vote by proxy. A Proxy Statement/Prospectus regarding the meeting,
a proxy card for your vote at the meeting and an envelope--postage prepaid--in
which to return your proxy card are enclosed.


    At the special meeting, you will be asked to vote on a proposed combination
or reorganization of CGF and Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.,
referred to below as "CIK", in which CIK will acquire all the assets and
liabilities of CGF in exchange for CIK shares. As a result of the
reorganization, you will receive that number of CIK shares having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of your shares as of the
close of business on the closing date of the reorganization (except that cash
will be paid in lieu of fractional shares).


    The recommendation that you vote for the reorganization springs from a
number of issues which CGF's investment advisor and directors have been
considering over a period of time. First, while very much wishing to retain the
closed-end characteristic of CGF, it is the unanimous view of the Board that CGF
has not attained a sufficient critical mass, and that if CGF could combine with
a larger fund, shareholders could potentially benefit in several ways: the
expense ratio could be reduced, investment flexibility and opportunities could
be enhanced and access to analyst coverage would likely be enhanced, a factor
that the investment advisor has identified as one that can positively affect the
discount/premium at which a closed-end fund trades. Currently, analyst coverage
of CGF has not been initiated.


    The Board has concluded that the proposed reorganization would offer CGF
shareholders the benefits of a larger size, including a significantly lower
expense ratio, without diluting their net asset value. The reorganization is
expected to result in a combined fund with $280 million in net assets (three
times the size of CGF based on current asset levels).



    In addition, following a recommendation by the investment advisor, CGF
recently reduced the percentage of its net assets invested in emerging markets
debt to 15% from approximately 35%, thus more closely aligning CGF's portfolio
mix to that of CIK.



    Given the advantages of increased size and the change in the investment
portfolio, the Board of Directors believes the proposed reorganization is in the
best interests of CGF's shareholders. For the reasons set forth above and in the
accompanying proxy materials, the Board (whose members also serve on the Board
of Directors of CIK) has unanimously approved this reorganization and
recommended that CGF shareholders vote to approve it.



    The proposed reorganization is described in more detail in the Combined
Proxy Statement/ Prospectus.


    CIK shareholders are also being asked to approve a new investment advisory
agreement with CSAM. The new agreement will be substantially the same as the
current agreement except that the investment advisory fee paid to CSAM will be
based upon the lower of the average weekly stock price

(market value) of CIK's outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets. By
virtue of this structure, CIK will:

    - reduce its investment advisory fees if its shares trade at a discount,
      thereby lowering its expense ratio, and

    - more closely align the interests of CSAM with the interests of CIK
      shareholders which are aimed at enhancing CIK's market value.

    The new investment advisory agreement, which was proposed by CSAM in
recognition of the economies of scale afforded by the combination of CIK and
CGF, will take effect only upon the consummation of the reorganization. If the
reorganization is consummated, as shareholders of CIK you will benefit from the
advisory fee structure changes. You are not being asked to vote separately on
this matter.


    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CGF BELIEVES THAT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION IS
IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU READ THE
ENCLOSED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND THEN VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL.

REORGANIZATION Q&A
  CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIC GLOBAL INCOME FUND ("CGF") INTO
  CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUND ("CIK")



    THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS INCLUDE A COMBINED PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT
CONTAINING INFORMATION YOU NEED TO MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION. HOWEVER, WE
THOUGHT IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL FOR YOU TO HAVE, AT THE START, ANSWERS TO SOME
OF THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.



    WE HOPE YOU FIND THESE EXPLANATIONS USEFUL AS YOU REVIEW YOUR MATERIALS
BEFORE VOTING. FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION,
PLEASE REFER TO THE COMBINED ENCLOSED PROSPECTUS/ PROXY STATEMENT. IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OR NEED ASSISTANCE IN VOTING
YOUR SHARES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL GEORGESON SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS AT
(800) 223-2064, WHO WILL BE PLEASED TO ASSIST YOU.



WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SHARES IF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION IS APPROVED?



    If you are now a shareholder of CIK, you will keep your shares. After the
closing, your shares will simply represent ownership in the combined fund.



    If you are now a shareholder of CGF, you will become a shareholder of CIK
and will no longer be a shareholder of CGF, which will be dissolved pursuant to
the proposed reorganization. You will receive shares of CIK and cash for
fractional shares with a total value equal to the total net asset value of your
investment in CGF at the time of the closing on the reorganization. For example,
if the closing had taken place on March 27, 2001, when the net asset value per
share of CGF and CIK was $7.08 and $5.66, respectively, and you owned 100 shares
of CGF, you would have received approximately 125 shares of CIK in exchange for
your 100 shares of CGF.



WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY MONTHLY DIVIDEND IF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION IS
  APPROVED?



    If you are now a shareholder of CIK, you will continue to receive your
monthly dividend check from CIK. Depending on the relative portfolio composition
of CIK and CGF, you may see a slight reduction in the amount of your dividend.
However, over time Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), the investment
advisor to both Funds, believes that the risk profile of the combined portfolio
will work to the shareholders' advantage.



    If you are now a shareholder of CGF, you will become a shareholder of CIK
and will receive a monthly dividend check from CIK on the shares of CIK you will
receive in the reorganization. CIK's monthly dividend per share is currently
lower than that of CGF. However, assuming the spread between the net asset value
per share of CGF and that of CIK and the monthly dividend rate per share of CIK
remain at their current levels, the total monthly dividend you may expect to
receive on your shares of CIK immediately after the reorganization should in
fact exceed your current total monthly dividend. For example, using the current
monthly dividend rate of $0.0725 per share for CGF and assuming the current
monthly dividend rate of CIK of $0.06 per share remains constant after the
reorganization, if you had 100 shares of CGF prior to the reorganization, your
total monthly dividend was $7.25. If the closing had taken place on March 27,
2001 at the relative net asset values of each Fund on that date indicated above,
you would have received 125 shares of CIK and your aggregate monthly dividend
post reorganization would then be $7.50.



WHAT IS THE KEY REASON FOR THE REORGANIZATION?



    The proposed reorganization will create one single larger sized fund, which
should reduce annual per share expenses for shareholders of both CGF and CIK.
CSAM believes that a larger asset base could provide portfolio management
benefits such as greater investment flexibility and the ability of CIK to
command more attention from analysts.



DO THE FUNDS HAVE SIMILAR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES?



    Yes. The Funds have substantially similar investment objectives and
policies. CIK's objective is current income consistent with the preservation of
capital, while CGF's objective is high current income consistent with the
preservation of capital. Richard J. Lindquist, the principal portfolio manager
of both Funds, has over 15 years of securities business experience, and has been
involved in the management of each Fund since its inception.



    In both Funds, CSAM seeks to achieve the Funds' investment objectives by
investing primarily in domestic high yield debt securities and to a lesser
extent in emerging market debt securities. For additional information regarding
the investment objectives and policies of the Funds, please refer to the
enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement.



WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROPOSED REORGANIZATION?



    THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION WILL NOT BE A TAXABLE EVENT.



    Shareholders will not realize any capital gain or loss as a direct result of
the proposed reorganization.



WILL I ENJOY THE SAME PRIVILEGES AS A SHAREHOLDER OF CIK THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE
  AS A SHAREHOLDER OF CGF?



    Yes. You will continue to enjoy the same shareholder privileges such as
dividend reinvestment as well as access to professional service representatives.



WHY IS MY APPROVAL REQUIRED?



    If you are a shareholder of CIK, your approval is required by the listing
rules of the New York Stock Exchange. If you are a shareholder of CGF, your
approval is required by the laws of the State of Maryland, where CGF is
incorporated.



HOW DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND I VOTE?



    The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that you vote FOR the
reorganization. The Directors believe the reorganization is in the best interest
of each Fund and its shareholders.

                            COMBINED PROXY STATEMENT
                                      FOR
                            MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
                         TO BE HELD TUESDAY MAY 1, 2001
                                   PROSPECTUS
                                      FOR
                CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUND, INC.


    This Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus ("Proxy Statement/Prospectus") is
being furnished to shareholders of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund,
Inc. ("CIK" or, as the Reorganization goes forward, the "Surviving Fund") for
use at CIK's annual meeting of shareholders to be held Tuesday, May 1, 2001 at
2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and is being furnished to shareholders of Credit Suisse
Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. ("CGF") for use at a special
meeting of CGF shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 1, 2001 at 3:00 p.m.,
(Eastern time). The meeting of shareholders of each fund will be held at the
offices of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, 466 Lexington Avenue, 16th
Floor, New York, New York 10017. CGF and CIK are sometimes collectively referred
to as the "Funds" and individually, as the context may require, as a "Fund." The
approximate mailing date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is March 30, 2001.



    PURPOSE OF THE MEETINGS.  At each of the meetings, shareholders of the Funds
will be asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
March 27, 2001. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization is referred to in this
Proxy Statement/Prospectus as the "Plan." In addition, CIK's shareholders are
being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse
Asset Management LLC (referred to in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as "CSAM"),
and to vote on the election of five (5) directors.


    SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.  The Plan provides for all the
assets of CGF to be acquired by CIK in exchange for CIK shares and the
assumption by CIK of all of the liabilities of CGF, hereinafter referred to as
the "Reorganization." CIK shares would be distributed to CGF shareholders in
liquidation of CGF and thereafter CGF would be dissolved under Maryland law and
de-registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act"). As a result of the reorganization, each CGF
shareholder would receive that number of CIK shares having an aggregate net
asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shareholder's CGF
shares as of the close of business on the closing of the reorganization (except
that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares).

    CGF shareholders will not receive any fractional shares of CIK as part of
the CGF distribution. In lieu thereof, CGF will receive from CIK for
distribution to its shareholders cash in an amount equal to the aggregate net
asset value of the fractional shares otherwise distributable to the CGF
shareholders, and the total number of CIK shares otherwise issuable to CGF will
be reduced by that number of CIK shares having an aggregate net asset value
equal to the cash so paid to CGF.

    The terms and conditions of the Reorganization and related transactions are
more fully described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and in the Plan, a copy
of which is attached as Exhibit A.

    This Proxy Statement/Prospectus serves as a prospectus for shares of CIK
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is referred to in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus as the "Securities Act," in connection with the issuance of
CIK common shares in the Reorganization.


    NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (FOR CIK SHAREHOLDERS ONLY).  Shareholders
of CIK are also being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement with
CIK's investment adviser, CSAM. The new agreement will be substantially the same
as the current agreement except that the investment advisory fee will be based
upon the lower of the average weekly stock price (market value) of the Surviving
Fund's outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets. The new investment
advisory agreement with CSAM, which is more fully described in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, will take effect only upon the consummation of the
Reorganization.


    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (FOR CIK SHAREHOLDERS ONLY).  The shareholders of CIK
will also be asked to consider and vote upon the election of five
(5) management nominees standing for election to CIK's Board of Directors.

    You should retain this Proxy Statement/Prospectus for future reference as it
sets forth concisely information about CGF and CIK that you should know before
voting on the proposals described below.


    A Statement of Additional Information, dated March 28, 2001, which is
referred to in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as the "SAI" and which contains
additional information about the Reorganization and the Funds, has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC". The SAI is incorporated
by reference into this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. A copy of the SAI is
available upon request, without charge, by calling Georgeson Shareholder
Communications, Inc., the Funds' proxy agent, at (800) 223-2064. You may also
submit your request in writing to Georgeson Shareholder Communications at 17
State Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004. If you should have any
questions regarding the proxy material or how to execute your vote, you may call
Georgeson Shareholder Communications at (800) 223-2064. CGF has provided the
information included in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus regarding that Fund. CIK
has provided the information included in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus
regarding that Fund.


    CGF's shares of common stock currently are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol "CGF". CIK's shares of common stock
currently are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CIK". After the Effective
Date, the shares of CGF will be removed from listing with the NYSE.

    Reports, proxy materials and other information concerning each Fund may be
inspected at the offices of the NYSE, 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005.

    The SEC has not approved or disapproved these securities or determined if
this Proxy Statement/ Prospectus is truthful or complete. To state otherwise is
a crime.


         The date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is March 28, 2001

    This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is furnished to the shareholders of the
Funds in connection with the solicitation of proxies. The Board of Directors of
each Fund is soliciting proxies for use at the meetings. The mailing address for
both Funds is 466 Lexington Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10017.


    This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Notice of Meeting to Shareholders and
the proxy cards are first being mailed to shareholders on or about March 30,
2001 or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any shareholder who gives a proxy has
the power to revoke the proxy either:


    - by mail, addressed to the Secretary of the respective Fund, at the Fund's
      mailing address, or

    - in person at the meeting by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting
      a notice of revocation to the respective Fund.

    All properly executed proxies received in time for the meetings will be
voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, in favor of
each proposal for that Fund referred to in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and
in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as proxies on other matters
that may properly come before the meetings.

    Shareholders of CGF and CIK will be asked to vote on the following
proposals:



PROPOSAL                                                 TO BE VOTED UPON BY
- --------                                                 -------------------
                                                      
Proposal 1--Approval of the Plan.......................  CGF and CIK Shareholders

Proposal 2--Approval of the New Investment Advisory
  Agreement with CSAM..................................  CIK Shareholders Only

Proposal 3--Election of five (5) persons to CIK's Board
  of Directors.........................................  CIK Shareholders Only



    The holders of one-third of the shares of each Fund outstanding at the close
of business on the record date, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a
quorum for that Fund's meeting. Shares represented by properly executed Proxies
that are marked "ABSTAIN" and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that
are present for determining whether a quorum has been achieved at the meeting.
In the event that a quorum is not present or represented, the holders of a
majority of the shares present in person or by proxy or the Chairman of the
meeting may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting
shall be present. If a quorum is present, but sufficient votes to approve one or
more of the proposed items are not received, the persons named as proxies or the
Chairman of the meeting may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to
permit further solicitations or Proxies. Unless it is approved by the Chairman
of the meeting, any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of those shares present at the meeting or represented by proxy. When
voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxies will vote thereon
in accordance with their best judgment in the interest of the Fund.


    As the Reorganization is expected to result in the issuance of a number of
shares of CIK in excess of 20% of CIK's outstanding shares of common stock, the
NYSE listing rules require that Proposal 1 be approved by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes cast by CIK shareholders, provided also that the
number of votes cast on Proposal 1 represent at least a majority of the
outstanding shares of CIK.

    Absent such NYSE rules, the Reorganization would not require approval by the
shareholders of CIK. Under Maryland law and CGF's charter, Proposal 1 requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of
CGF.

                                       4

    Proposal 2 to be submitted at the annual meeting of shareholders of CIK
requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of outstanding voting securities"
of CIK. A "majority of outstanding voting securities" is defined under the
Investment Company Act to mean the lesser of

    - 67% of the voting securities represented at a meeting at which more than
      50% of the outstanding voting securities are represented, or

    - more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities.

    Proposal 3 to be submitted at the annual meeting of shareholders of CIK
requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at such meeting
in person or by proxy.

    Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a "no" vote on
Proposal 1 for CGF and will not count as CIK shares voted for purposes of
measuring whether the NYSE listing rule requirement that the the total CIK votes
cast on Proposal 1 represent a majority of the outstanding shares of CIK has
been met or whether a majority of the CIK votes cast have been voted in favor of
Proposal 1. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a "no" vote
on Proposal 2 and will have no effect on Proposal 3.

    Proxy solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but solicitations may
also be made by telephone, telegraph or personal interviews conducted by
officers or employees of the Funds, CSAM, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the
administrator to the Funds, or Georgeson Shareholder Communications, the proxy
solicitation firm retained by each Fund in connection with the meetings.
Georgeson is entitled to receive a fee of $5,000 per Fund and an additional
$15,000 per Fund if the Plan is approved, plus per call charges and
reimbursement for its reasonable expenses. The Funds will bear costs of
solicitation, including:

    - printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and accompanying
      material,

    - the reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses in
      forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of each Fund's
      shares,

    - payment to Georgeson Shareholder Communications for its services in
      soliciting proxies, and


    - any supplementary solicitations.



    Only shareholders of record of each Fund at the close of business on
March 5, 2001, the Record Date, are entitled to vote. Each outstanding share of
a Fund is entitled to one vote on all matters voted upon at a meeting of the
shareholders of that Fund. As of March 5, 2001, there were 34,708,369 shares of
CIK outstanding, and 11,976,699 shares of CGF outstanding.


    CGF and CIK provide periodic reports to all of their shareholders. These
reports highlight relevant information including investment results and a review
of portfolio changes for each Fund. CIK and CGF have previously furnished their
respective annual report containing audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to their shareholders. CIK and CGF will furnish, without
charge, a copy of their most recent Annual Report and of any more recent interim
report upon request to Georgeson Shareholder Communications at 17 State Street,
10th Floor, New York, New York 10004 or at (800) 223-2064. These requests will
be honored within three business days of receipt.

    The Boards of Directors of the Funds know of no business other than the
proposals described above which will be presented for consideration at the
meetings. If any other matter is properly presented, it is the intention of the
persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote on that matter in their discretion.

             PROPOSAL 1 (BOTH FUNDS): APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT AND
  PLAN OF REORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO WHICH CIK WILL ACQUIRE ALL THE ASSETS AND
                               LIABILITIES OF CGF

    On February 21, 2001, the Boards of Directors of CGF and CIK, including a
majority of the directors of each Fund who are not "interested persons" of the
respective Fund, or the Independent Directors, unanimously:

    - declared the Reorganization advisable,

    - approved entering into the Plan, and

    - recommended that the Plan be approved by the shareholders of each Fund.

    The Board of Directors of CGF and CIK have common members.

    For more information about the Reorganization, see "Information About The
Reorganization." The Plan is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both
Funds and certain other conditions. A copy of the Plan is attached to this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus as Exhibit A, and the description of the Plan included in
this Prospectus/Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Exhibit A.

    The following provides a more detailed discussion about the Reorganization,
each Fund and additional information that you may find helpful in deciding how
to vote on the Plan.

                                    SYNOPSIS

    This synopsis highlights important information included in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. This synopsis is qualified by reference to the more
complete information included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and
the Plan. Shareholders of the Funds should read this entire Proxy Statement/
Prospectus carefully.


    THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.  The Boards of Directors of CGF and CIK,
including the Independent Directors of each Fund, have unanimously approved the
Plan. The Plan provides for a reorganization of CGF and CIK whereby CIK will
acquire all the assets of CGF in exchange for CIK shares and the assumption by
CIK of all the liabilities of CGF. The Plan also calls for the distribution of
these shares of CIK to CGF's shareholders in liquidation of CGF and the
subsequent dissolution of CGF. The reorganization is referred to in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus as the "Reorganization." If approved, the Reorganization is
expected to be consummated as soon as practicable after the meetings. As a
result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of CGF will become a shareholder
of the Surviving Fund and will receive, on the date when the Reorganization is
consummated (referred herein as the "Effective Date"), that number of full
shares of common stock of the Surviving Fund (plus cash in lieu of fractional
shares) having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset
value of such shareholder's shares held in CGF as of the close of business on
the Business Day preceding the Effective Date.


    For the reasons set forth below under "Information about the
Reorganization--Reasons for the Reorganization." the Board of Directors of CIK
and CGF, including the Independent Directors of each Fund, have unanimously
concluded that:

    - the Reorganization is in the best interests of each respective Fund, and

    - the interests of existing shareholders of each respective Fund will not be
      diluted as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan.

    Accordingly, the Board of Directors of each Fund (which have common members)
recommends approval of the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is not
approved, each Fund will continue as a separate investment company, and the
Board of Directors of each Fund will consider such other alternatives as it
determines to be in the best interests of its shareholders.

                                       6


    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.  The Funds have substantially similar
investment objectives and policies. CIK's fundamental investment objective is
current income consistent with the preservation of capital. CGF's fundamental
investment objective is high current income consistent with the preservation of
capital. In pursuing their respective investment objectives, CIK has a policy of
investing at least 75% of its total assets in fixed-income securities, such as
bonds, debentures and preferred stocks, while CGF has a policy of investing at
least 65% of its total assets in income-producing securities. In February 1997,
the Board of Directors of CGF adopted a non-fundamental policy pursuant to which
CGF may invest up to 35% of its net assets in the securities of issuers located
in emerging markets.



    CIK historically has pursued its investment objective by investing
principally in high yield fixed income securities of domestic issuers, while
investing a portion of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities
(approximately 15% before the recent portfolio repositioning). CGF has pursued
its investment objective by investing not less than 65% of its net assets in
domestic high yield securities, and up to 35% of its net assets in emerging
markets debt. In February 2001, the Board of Directors of CIK adopted a policy
with respect to investments in emerging market debt similar to that of CGF and
accepted a recommendation from the investment advisor to liquidate its
investment-grade debt securities portfolio and re-deploy those assets
(approximately 15% of the Fund's net assets) in emerging market debt securities.
In addition, following a recommendation by the investment advisor, CGF has
reduced the percentage of its net assets invested in emerging markets debt to
15% from approximately 35%.


    The preceding summary of the Funds' investment objectives and certain
policies should be considered in conjunction with the discussion below under
"Risk Factors and Special Considerations" and "Comparison of Investment
Objectives and Policies."

    FEES AND EXPENSES.  CSAM serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. As
compensation for its advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive from each
Fund an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid quarterly, equal to 0.50% of such
Fund's average weekly net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
CSAM earned $471,683 in advisory fees from CGF and $1,148,861 from CIK.


    On March 15, 2001, CIK's Board of Directors approved a new investment
advisory agreement with CSAM, subject to shareholder approval and consummation
of the Reorganization. The new investment advisory agreement with CSAM will be
the same as the Fund's current investment advisory agreement except that the
investment advisory fee will be equal to a percentage of the lower of the
average weekly stock price (market value) of the Fund's outstanding shares or
its average weekly net assets. For more information about the new investment
advisory agreement, see "Proposal 2 (Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund
Shareholders Only): Approval of New Investment Advisory Agreement."



    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, CGF's and CIK's total expense
ratios were 1.05% and 0.78%, respectively. The total expense ratio is the ratio
of total annual operating expenses to average net assets.



    The pro forma expense ratio of the Surviving Fund is estimated to be
approximately 0.77% after giving effect to the Reorganization. The actual
expense ratio for the Surviving Fund for the current and subsequent fiscal
years, if the Reorganization occurs, may be higher or lower than this projection
and will depend upon the Surviving Fund's performance, general bond market and
economic conditions, net asset levels, interest rate levels and other factors.


    See "Expense Table" below for the current expenses of each Fund and pro
forma expenses following the Reorganization.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION.  As a condition to
the closing of the Reorganization, both Funds will receive an opinion of Willkie
Farr & Gallagher, counsel to the Funds and CSAM, stating that the Reorganization
will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code.
Accordingly, neither CIK, CGF nor the shareholders of either Fund should
recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax

                                       7

purposes as a result of the Reorganization, except with respect to the
shareholders of CGF who receive cash proceeds from the purchase of fractional
share interests by the Surviving Fund. These shareholders will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as if they received such fractional share interests
and then sold such interests for cash. The holding period and the aggregate tax
basis of CIK shares (including fractional share interests purchased by the
Surviving Fund) received by a CGF shareholder will be the same as the holding
period and aggregate tax basis of the shares of CGF previously held by the
shareholder. The holding period and the aggregate tax basis of the assets
received by CIK in the Reorganization will be the same as the holding period and
the tax basis of such assets in the hands of CGF immediately before the
Reorganization. For more information about the tax consequences of the
Reorganization, see "Information about the Reorganization--Tax Considerations."


    DISCOUNT FROM NET ASSET VALUE.  Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade
at a market price that is less than the value of the fund's net assets. The
possibility that shares of the Surviving Fund will trade at a discount from its
net asset value is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund's
net asset value will decrease. Since the commencement of their respective
operations, CIK and CGF shares have generally traded in the market at a discount
to net asset value, although recently they have traded at a premium or a small
discount to net asset value. As of February 21, 2001, the last trading day
immediately before the announcement of the Reorganization, and March 27, 2001,
CIK shares traded at a premium of 8.94% and 0.70%, respectively. As of those
same dates, CGF shares traded at a discount of 2.14% and 3.25%, respectively.
See "Additional Information about the Funds--Discount to Net Asset Value."



    DISPARITY IN CGF AND CIK DISCOUNT/PREMIUM LEVELS.  As of the date of this
Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, the shares of CGF are trading at a 3.25% discount
to net asset value while the shares of CIK are trading at or slightly below net
asset value. If this pattern continues, the total market value of CIK shares
issued to CGF shareholders on the Effective Date will be more than the total
market value of CGF shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date,
although their total net asset values will be the same (disregarding fractional
shares). The current disparity of discount/premium patterns would cause CGF
shareholders to receive shares in the Reorganization with a higher aggregate
market value, but the relative discount level of the Funds may be different at
the time the Reorganization occurs. While it is not possible to predict the
effect, if any, of the Reorganization on the market price of CIK's shares
relative to net asset value, it is possible that CIK's shares will trade at a
smaller premium or at a discount following the Reorganization. In fact, the
acquisition by a fund whose shares are trading at a premium of the assets of a
fund whose shares are trading at a discount could have an adverse effect on the
acquiring fund's relative share price, as market participants seek to take
advantage of the disparity. Such an acquisition could also have a positive
effect on the relative share price of the selling fund, but the same market
factors that cause the selling fund's shares to trade at a lower relative share
price could affect the acquiring fund once the acquisition takes place. However,
CSAM and the CIK Board both believe that the long-term expected benefits of the
Reorganization, which are more certain to occur, outweigh the uncertain,
unpredictable and potentially short-term effect of the Reorganization on the
relative market price of CIK's shares. CSAM and the Boards also believe that an
increase in asset size, an increase in the number of outstanding shares and a
reduction in expense ratio, all of which CIK is expected to enjoy as the
surviving fund as a result of the Reorganization, are not the kinds of
developments that should aversely affect a closed-end fund's relative share
price over the long term. For more information, see "Additional Information
about the Funds--Discount to Net Asset Value."



    EXPENSES OF THE REORGANIZATION.  In evaluating the proposed Reorganization,
CSAM has estimated the amount of expenses the Funds would incur, including NYSE
listing fees, SEC registration fees, legal and accounting fees and proxy and
distribution costs. The estimated total expenses pertaining to the
Reorganization are approximately $600,000. The aggregate expenses of the
Reorganization will be allocated equally between the Funds, including the SEC
registration fees and the fees for listing additional shares of CIK on the NYSE.
The expenses of the Reorganization are expected to result in a reduction in
CGF's net asset value per share of approximately $0.02504, and a reduction in
CIK's net asset value per share of approximately $0.00864.

(1) For optional cash purchases. First time investors are subject to an initial
    service charge of $10.

(2) The percentages in the above table expressing annual fund operating expenses
    are based on each Fund's operating expenses for the fiscal year ended
    December 31, 2000.


(3) For more information about each Fund's investment management fees, see
    "Synopsis--Fees and Expenses."



(4) Based on estimated expenses for fiscal year 2001. "Other Expenses" include
    fees for shareholder services, custody, legal and accounting services,
    printing costs, the costs involved in communications with shareholders and
    the costs of regulatory compliance, maintaining corporate existence and the
    listing of the shares of common stock on the NYSE. These figures do not
    reflect the expenses of the Reorganization. In fiscal year 2000 "other
    expenses" represented 0.55% of net assets for CGF and 0.28% of net assets
    for CIK.



(5) Total estimated annual expenses for fiscal year 2001 (excluding expenses of
    the Reorganization). Total expenses incurred in fiscal year 2000 represented
    1.05% of net assets for CGF and 0.78% of net assets for CGF. The increase in
    total annual expenses expected for 2001 is due to the decrease in net assets
    experienced by both Funds in fiscal year 2000.

    EXAMPLE.  The purpose of the following example is to help you understand the
costs and expenses you may bear as an investor. This example is based on the
level of total annual operating expenses for each Fund listed in the table
above, the total expenses relating to a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual
return and reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Shareholders do not
pay these expenses directly; they are paid by the Funds before they distribute
net investment income to shareholders. This example should not be considered a
representation of future expenses, and actual expenses may be greater or less
than those shown. Federal regulations require the example to assume a 5% annual
return, but actual annual returns may vary.



                                                                                               PRO FORMA

    PERFORMANCE.  The table below provides performance data for various periods
ended December 31, 2000 for CGF and CIK based on each Fund's net asset value and

                    RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

    Both CGF and CIK are subject to certain risks which are described below.


    CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES MAY REDUCE YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT. Since the
market price of fixed-income securities generally decreases when interest rates
rise, the net asset value and market price of your shares may decline if
interest rates rise. The magnitude of the decrease will generally be greater for
securities with longer maturities and securities with higher yields, which are
those in which the Funds primarily invest. The decrease may or may not be offset
by additional income from new or existing securities carrying higher interest
rates. Conversely, if rates decline, you may over time receive less current
income from your investment, although the net asset value and market price of
your shares may increase. No assurance can be given that the securities
purchased by the Funds will continue to earn yields comparable to those earned
historically.


    MARKET FLUCTUATIONS MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT. The market
value of fixed-income securities may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and
unpredictably. These fluctuations, which are often referred to as "volatility,"
may cause a security to be worth less than it was worth at an earlier time.
Volatility may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the
market as a whole. Volatility affects most investments--including bonds, and the
funds that invest in them. The risk of volatility in bond prices can vary
significantly depending upon factors such as issuer and maturity. Volatility
will affect the net asset value and market price of your shares and may reduce
your return on investment.

    YOUR INVESTMENT IS EXPOSED TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN FIXED-INCOME
SECURITIES. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make timely payments of
either principal or interest. When holding shares, you indirectly bear this
credit risk. A deterioration in financial or general economic conditions usually
increases credit risk. Even with investment grade securities, differences exist
in credit quality and some investment grade securities may have speculative
characteristics. A security's price may be adversely affected by the market's
opinion of the security's credit quality level even if the issuer or
counterparty has suffered no degradation in its ability to honor the obligation.
In addition, the Funds may purchase securities that are in default or not
current in the payment of interest or principal. No assurance can be given that
issuers whose obligations the Funds acquire will make payments on such
obligations as they become due.

    HIGH YIELD SECURITIES PRESENT INCREASED AND SPECIAL RISKS. High yield
securities generally pay a premium above the yields of U.S. government debt
securities or mature corporate issuers because they are subject to greater risks
than these securities. Hence, high yield securities usually carry a medium-grade
or below investment grade rating, which reflects their speculative character and
the following risks:

    - greater volatility


    - greater credit risk, including risk of default


    - potentially greater sensitivity to general economic or industry conditions

    - potential lack of attractive resale opportunities (illiquidity)

    - additional expenses to seek recovery from issuers who default

    The market value of lower-rated securities may be more volatile than the
market value of higher-rated securities and generally tends to reflect the
market's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and short-term market
developments to a greater extent than more highly rated securities, which
reflect primarily fluctuations in general levels of interest rates.


    Recently, the number and rate of high yield securities in default has
significantly increased due in part to the general macroeconomic slowdown and
the sell off in equity markets. If these factors


                                       13


continue or worsen, the number and rate of default may increase further, which
could adversely affect the performance of the Surviving Fund.


    RATINGS ARE RELATIVE AND SUBJECTIVE AND NOT ABSOLUTE STANDARDS OF QUALITY.
Securities ratings are based largely on the issuer's historical financial
condition and the rating agencies' analysis at the time of rating. Consequently,
the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection
of the issuer's current financial condition.


    INVESTING OUTSIDE THE U.S. PRESENTS SPECIAL RISKS. The risks which the Funds
face when they invest in foreign debt securities include:


    - fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign
      currencies

    - unavailable or deficient key information about an issuer, security or
      market

    - expropriations, capital or currency controls, punitive taxes or
      nationalizations

    - economic policy changes, social and political instability, military action
      and war

    Additional risks present when investing outside the U.S. include:

    - changed circumstances in dealings between nations

    - greater volatility and illiquidity of foreign securities

    - costs incurred in connection with conversions between various currencies

    - higher foreign brokerage commissions

    - possible extended settlement periods

    THE RISKS OF INVESTING OUTSIDE THE U.S. ARE COMPOUNDED FOR INVESTMENTS IN
EMERGING MARKETS. There are greater risks involved in investing in emerging
markets than in developed foreign markets, including:

    - potentially more limited access to investments or less advantageous terms
      for foreign investors

    - less-developed securities markets

    - heightened economic, political and social problems

    - deficiencies in regulatory oversight, market infrastructure, shareholder
      protections and company laws

    - less rigorous and/or enforced accounting, auditing and financial reporting
      standards and requirements

    - potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations

    MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES MAY REDUCE CURRENT INCOME. Depending on market
conditions, mortgage-backed securities may at times constitute a substantial
portion of the Funds' portfolio. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to the
following risks:

    - default on the underlying debt

    - substantial decline in value when interest rates rise

    - potential lack of attractive resale opportunities (illiquidity)

    - loss of income due to prepayments and foreclosures


    THE FUNDS' SHARES HAVE TRADED AND MAY CONTINUE TO TRADE AT A DISCOUNT TO NET
ASSET VALUE. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a
discount to net asset value. This characteristic


                                       14


of shares of a closed-end fund is a risk separate and distinct from the risk
that its net asset value may decrease. The risk of purchasing shares of a
closed-end fund that invests in income-producing securities and that might trade
at a discount is more pronounced for investors who wish to sell their shares in
a relatively short period of time. For those investors, realization of a gain or
loss on their investments may be more dependent upon the existence of a premium
or discount than upon portfolio performance.



    OTHER RISKS MAY ARISE FROM CERTAIN INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES WHICH THE FUNDS MAY
USE. These techniques include repurchase agreements, lending of portfolio
securities, short sales, options on U.S. government securities, interest rate
futures and related options, direct placement securities, restricted and
illiquid securities and foreign exchange currency transactions. For a
description of risks associated with these techniques, please see "Other
Investment Techniques" in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus beginning on page 18.


                COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

    ORGANIZATION.  CIK and CGF are both diversified, closed-end management
investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act. CGF was
organized as a Maryland corporation in 1988 and CIK was organized as a Maryland
corporation in 1987. Each Fund's Board of Directors is responsible for the
management of the business and affairs of each Fund, including the supervision
of the duties performed by each Fund's investment manager. The Funds are managed
and advised by CSAM and have Common Directors. The shares of common stock of
each Fund are listed and trade on the NYSE. After the Reorganization, CGF's
shares will be delisted and CGF will be liquidated and dissolved in accordance
with Maryland law and de-registered under the Investment Company Act.


    The shares of common stock of each Fund have equal non-cumulative voting
rights and equal rights with respect to dividends, assets and dissolution. Each
Fund's shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable and have no
preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights. Fluctuation in the market
price of the Fund's shares is a principal investment risk of an investment in
either Fund. Portfolio management, market conditions, investment policies and
other factors affect such fluctuations. Although the investment objectives,
policies and restrictions of CIK and CGF are substantially similar, there are
differences between them, as discussed below.



    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.  CGF and CIK have substantially similar
investment objectives and policies. The investment objective of CGF is high
current income consistent with the preservation of capital. CGF seeks to achieve
this objective by investing in higher yielding U.S. and foreign fixed-income
securities, with an emphasis on U.S. high yield (junk bonds) and emerging market
securities. At least 65% of CGF's total assets must be invested in
income-producing securities. CSAM expects that substantially all of CGF's assets
will be invested in income-producing securities. CGF may also invest up to 35%
of its net assets in fixed-income securities of issuers located in emerging
markets. CIK's investment objective is current income consistent with the
preservation of capital. CIK seeks to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in fixed-income securities, such as bonds, debentures and preferred
stocks. Under normal circumstances, CIK invests at least 75% of its assets in
fixed-income securities. Since February 2001, CIK may also invest up to 35% of
its net assets in fixed-income securities of issuers located in emerging
markets. Both Funds' investments are not subject to any rating quality
limitation. Accordingly, each may invest a substantial portion of its assets in
securities rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized rating
service or unrated but in CSAM's opinion of comparable quality. For information
regarding the various ratings of Moody's and Standard & Poor's, see the Appendix
to this prospectus.



    CSAM may take full advantage of the entire range of maturities of
fixed-income securities and may adjust the average maturity of the investments
held in the portfolio from time to time, depending on its assessment of relative
yields of securities of different maturities and its expectations of future
changes in interest rates.


    The investment objectives of CGF and CIK are fundamental policies and cannot
be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities. As used herein, a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" means the lesser of (a) 67% of the shares represented at

                                       15

a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or
(b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

    No assurance can be given that the investment objective of either Fund will
be achieved. For a more detailed discussion of the investment objective and
policies, see "Investment Objective and Policies" in the SAI.


    RECENT REPOSITIONING OF CIK AND CGF'S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO.  CIK
historically has pursued its investment objective by investing principally in
high yield fixed income securities of domestic issuers, while investing a
relatively small percentage of its net assets in investment-grade debt
securities (approximately 15% before the recent portfolio repositioning). CGF
has pursued its investment objective by investing not less than 65% of its net
assets in domestic high yield securities, and up to 35% of its net assets in
emerging markets debt. In February 2001, the Board of Directors of CIK adopted a
policy with respect to investments in emerging market debt similar to that of
CGF and accepted a recommendation from the investment advisor to partially
reposition its portfolio. As a result, CIK has liquidated its investment-grade
debt securities portfolio and re-deployed those assets (approximately 15% of the
Fund's net assets) in emerging market debt securities. In addition, following a
recommendation by the investment advisor, CGF has reduced the percentage of its
net assets invested in emerging markets debt to 15% from approximately 35%.


    The decision to reposition CIK's portfolio was based on a number of
considerations, including CSAM's advice to the CIK Board that:

    - during the last several years emerging markets debt has matured
      considerably as a separate asset class,


    - the movement of the value of emerging markets debt generally does not
      highly correlate with the movement of the value of domestic high yield
      debt and thus under current market conditions the combination of the two
      asset classes should result in a less volatile portfolio than one
      investing solely in domestic high yield securities, and


    - the repositioning should enhance the overall yield on CIK's portfolio, and
      thus enable the Board to give consideration to an increase in CIK's
      dividend rate at some point in the future.

    The decision to increase CGF's exposure to U.S. high yield fixed-income
securities was based on CSAM's advice to the CGF Board that the spreads over
investment grade debt afforded by emerging market debt have narrowed, while at
present comparable spreads for domestic high yield fixed income securities have
remained high.


    The repositioning and the Reorganization are separate transactions and
neither is conditional upon the other. The repositioning was completed in March
2001 and, as a result, the Funds now have a substantially similar investment
mix, which may be expected to facilitate the completion of the Reorganization:
approximately 85% of each Fund's respective net assets is invested in U.S. high
yield fixed-income securities and 15% is invested in fixed-income securities of
issuers located in emerging markets.



    You may refer to the audited annual financial statements of each Fund, which
are included in such Fund's Annual Report to shareholders and are incorporated
by reference in the SAI, for detailed information regarding the composition of
the portfolio of each Fund as of December 31, 2000. The SAI also contains an
unaudited pro-forma condensed statement of assets and liabilities and an
unaudited pro-forma condensed statement of operations for each Fund as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2000, as adjusted to give effect to the
Reorganization. This information is derived from the audited financial
statements of each Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and does not
reflect the effect of the repositioning of each Fund's portfolio completed in
March 2001. Accordingly, it should not be regarded as representative of the
composition of the Fund's portfolio going forward.

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES


U.S. FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES


    Both Funds invest in higher-yielding, lower rated U.S. corporate fixed
income securities, including debt securities, convertible securities and
preferred stocks. They may also invest in securities rated single A or higher by
Moody's or by Standard & Poor's and unrated corporate fixed-income securities.
Normally substantially all of the high yield securities in which the Funds
invest are in the lower-rated categories. Lower-rated securities generally
provide yields superior to those of more highly rated securities, but involve
greater risks and are speculative in nature. The rating services' descriptions
of these rating categories, including the speculative characteristics of the
lower categories, are set forth in Appendix A.



    Both Funds may also invest in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government, or by agencies or instrumentalities established or sponsored by
the U.S. government, including mortgage-backed securities. Depending on market
conditions, the Funds may invest a substantial portion of their assets in
mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by
mortgages or interests in mortgages and may be issued by government or
non-government entities. Mortgage-backed securities issued by government
entities typically provide a monthly payment consisting of interest and
principal payments, and additional payments will be made out of unscheduled
prepayments of principal. Non-government issued mortgage-backed securities may
offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but may be subject
to greater price fluctuations. CSAM may take full advantage of the entire range
of maturities of U.S. government securities and may adjust the average maturity
of the investments held in the portfolio from time to time, depending on its
assessment of relative yields of securities of different maturities and its
expectations of future changes in interest rates. To the extent that the Funds
invest in the mortgage market, CSAM will evaluate relevant economic,
environmental and security-specific variables such as housing starts, coupon and
age trends.


NON-US DOLLAR DENOMINATED FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES; FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES OF
  FOREIGN ISSUERS

    Each Fund invests in debt obligations and other fixed income securities
denominated in U.S. dollars, non-U.S. currencies or composite currencies,
including:

    - debt obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign national, provincial,
      state, municipal or other governments with taxing authority or by their
      agencies or instrumentalities

    - debt obligations of supranational entities

    - debt obligations of the U.S. government issued in non-dollar denominated
      securities

    - dollar and non-dollar denominated debt obligations and other fixed-income
      securities of foreign and U.S. corporate issuers


    Each Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in the securities of
issuers located in emerging markets. CIK has a fundamental policy not to invest
more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities denominated in a
currency other than the U.S. dollar. As both CIK's and CGF's investments in the
securities of issuers located in emerging markets consist almost entirely of
U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-income securities, CSAM does not expect that this
limitation will impair to any material extent CIK's ability to invest in those
markets if the Reorganization is approved.


OTHER INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

    To enhance return as market opportunities arise, the Funds may use the
following investment techniques. Associated risks are indicated for each
technique.

                                       17

    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit and
certain bankers' acceptances for the purpose of realizing additional income. The
use of repurchase agreements involves the risk that the counterparty may default
on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at the agreed upon
repurchase price at a time when the value of the underlying securities has
declined, thus causing a loss upon their disposition.

    SECURITIES LENDING.  The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to banks,
brokers, dealers and other financial institutions who may need to borrow
securities in order to complete certain transactions, such as covering short
sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage
transactions. Securities lending involves the following risks:

    - illiquidity

    - credit

    SHORT SALES.  Each Fund may engage in short sales (the sale of a security
that it does not own). A Fund will only engage in short sales when they own an
equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of further consideration, for securities of the same issue as,
and equal in amount to, the securities sold short ("short sales against the
box"), and only if not more than 5% of the net assets is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time.

    OPTIONS ON U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.  Each Fund may write covered call
options (rights to purchase a security from a Fund) and put options (rights to
sell a security to a Fund) with respect to its U.S. government securities to
hedge against price fluctuations and to increase current income. Each Fund may
also purchase put options (right to sell a security to a third party) or call
options (right to purchase a security from a third party) on U.S. government
securities to protect its portfolio against price fluctuations. These options
involve the following risks:

    - volatility

    - imperfect correlation between the prices of the option and the underlying
      security credit

    - illiquidity

    - reduced ability to profit from price and interest rate fluctuations on the
      securities being hedged

    INTEREST RATE FUTURES AND RELATED OPTIONS.  Each Fund may enter into
interest rate futures contracts and options that are traded on U.S. futures
exchanges or other trading facilities. Each Fund intends to use these techniques
only for bona fide hedging purposes, i.e., for the purpose of protecting its
portfolio against yield and price fluctuations. The Funds are not required to
hedge their investments. Interest rate futures and related options may not be
available or may be too costly, and, as a result, the Funds may not be able to
use them when they decide to do so. When used, interest rate futures contracts
and related options involve the following risks:

    - volatility

    - imperfect correlation between prices

    - reduced ability to profit from price and interest rate fluctuations on the
      securities being hedged

    RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES.  Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its
total assets in securities that are not readily marketable. These include
securities which are not registered under the Securities Act and not publicly
traded. They are usually considered less liquid than publicly-traded securities
and the Funds may have to accept a lower price upon a decision to sell such a
security or may not be able to sell the security at all. Companies whose
securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the same investor
protection requirements as publicly traded securities.

                                       18

    FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS.  Each Fund may (but is not required
to) engage in foreign currency exchange transactions to hedge against
fluctuations in future exchange rates. Foreign currency hedging involves the
following risks:

    - imperfect correlation between prices

    - credit risk

    - volatility in currency prices

    - illiquidity

    - reduced ability to profit from price and interest rate fluctuations on the
      securities being hedged

    Each Fund will have a limited ability to hedge its portfolio denominated in
currencies of emerging markets against potential devaluations because of the
lack of suitable instruments and, even if such instruments are available, may
elect not to hedge its currency exposure.

    DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES.  There may be times when, in CSAM's judgment,
conditions in the securities markets would make pursuing a Fund's basic
investment strategy inconsistent with the best interests of its shareholders. At
such times, CSAM may employ alternative strategies to reduce fluctuations in the
value of the portfolio. In implementing these defensive strategies a Fund may
temporarily shift its portfolio emphasis to higher rated securities, hedge
currency risks, reduce or suspend its option writing activities or generally
reduce the average maturity of its holdings. Under unusual market conditions a
Fund could invest for temporary defensive purposes up to 100% of its total
assets in cash or money market instruments. Such money market instruments
include short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
its agencies or instrumentalities, domestic, foreign and non-U.S. dollar
denominated commercial paper, domestic and foreign certificates of deposit,
domestic and foreign bankers' acceptances and other bank obligations. A Fund may
also hold a portion of its assets in cash or money market instruments for
liquidity purposes. It is impossible to predict when, or for how long, such
alternative strategies will be utilized. To the extent that a Fund employs these
temporary defensive strategies, it may not achieve its investment objective.

    PORTFOLIO TURNOVER AND SHORT-TERM TRADING.  CSAM will buy and sell
securities for a Fund to accomplish its investment objective. The investment
policies of a Fund may lead to frequent changes in investments, particularly in
periods of rapidly fluctuating interest or currency exchange rates. Investments
may also be traded to take advantage of perceived short-term disparities in
market values or yields among securities of comparable quality and maturity.
From time to time, consistent with its investment objective, a Fund may also
trade securities for the purpose of seeking short-term profits to take advantage
of short-term opportunities during periods of fluctuating markets. Securities
may be sold in anticipation of a market decline or bought in anticipation of a
market rise.

                                       19

                       UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

    The following information is meant to be a summary of certain federal income
tax considerations relevant to an investment in either Fund or, if the
Reorganization is consummated, in the Surviving Fund. Please see the SAI for
additional information. You should rely on your own tax advisor for advice about
the particular federal, state and local tax consequences to you of investing in
the Funds.

    Although each Fund intends to operate so that it will not have to pay
federal income or excise tax, if it does have to pay tax, this would adversely
affect investment performance.

    Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its income and gains to
shareholders every year, and you will be taxed on distributions you receive,
regardless of whether they are paid in cash or are reinvested in shares. If a
Fund declares a dividend in October, November or December but pays it in
January, you may be taxed on the dividend as if you received it in the previous
year.

    Each Fund will send to its shareholders a tax report each year. The report
will tell you which dividends and redemptions must be treated as taxable
ordinary income and which, if any, are long-term capital gain. If the Fund
designates a dividend as a capital gain distribution, you will pay tax on that
dividend at the long-term capital gains tax rate, no matter how long you have
held your shares.

    If you hold your shares in a tax-deferred retirement account, such as an
IRA, you generally will not have to pay tax on dividends until they are
distributed from the account. These accounts are subject to complex tax rules,
and you should consult your tax advisor about investment through a tax-deferred
account.

    You will generally have a capital gain or loss if you sell your shares. The
amount of the gain or loss and the rate of tax will depend primarily upon how
much you paid for the shares, how much you sell them for, and how long you held
them.

    Each Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of
31% of all taxable distributions payable to you if you fail to provide your
correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if
you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be
credited against your U.S federal income tax liability.

    FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS.  If you are a nonresident alien individual, a foreign
trust or estate, a foreign corporation or a foreign partnership under U.S. tax
laws, you will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or
applicable lower treaty rate) except where such distributions are effectively
connected with a trade or business carried on by you in the United States.

    Under certain circumstances more fully described in the SAI, distributions
of net long-term capital gains to you and gains from sales of shares by you may
not be subject to U.S. income or withholding taxes.

    If the income from a Fund is effectively connected with a trade or business
carried on by you, distributions of net investment income and net long-term
capital gains, and any gains realized upon the sale or redemption of shares,
will be subject to U.S. income tax at the graduated rates applicable to U.S.
citizens or domestic corporations.

    If you are entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty, the
tax consequences to you may be different from those described herein. You are
advised to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax
consequences to you of an investment in a Fund.

    OTHER TAXATION.  Income received by a Fund from sources within foreign
countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such
countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may
reduce or eliminate such taxes. It is impossible to determine the effective rate
of foreign tax in advance since the amount of assets to be invested in various
countries is not known.

                                       20

    Distributions also may be subject to additional state, local and foreign
taxes depending on your particular situation. You are advised to consult your
own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences to you of an
investment in a Fund and of the possible impact of proposed changes in
applicable tax laws. For a discussion of the tax consequences of the
Reorganization on your investment in each Fund, please see "Information about
the Reorganization--Tax Considerations."

                      INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

    GENERAL.  Under the Plan, CIK will acquire all the assets of CGF in exchange
for CIK shares and the assumption by CIK of all the liabilities of CGF on the
Effective Date. As a result of the Reorganization and on the Effective Date,
each CGF shareholder would receive that number of CIK shares (plus cash in lieu
of fractional shares), having an aggregate net asset value equal to the
aggregate net asset value of such shareholder's CGF shares as of the close of
business on the Business Day preceding the Effective Date. The Surviving Fund
will not issue any fractional shares to CGF shareholders. In lieu thereof, the
Surviving Fund will purchase all fractional shares at the current net asset
value of the shares and remit the cash proceeds to former shareholders of CGF in
proportion to their fractional shares. No sales charge or fee of any kind will
be charged to CGF shareholders in connection with their receipt of common stock
of the Surviving Fund in the Reorganization.

    CGF would then:

    - remove its shares of common stock from listing on the NYSE,

    - withdraw from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended,

    - deregister as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and

    - dissolve under Maryland law.


    If approved, the Reorganization is expected to occur as soon as practicable
after the meetings.


    The Plan may be terminated and the Reorganization abandoned, whether before
or after approval by the Funds' shareholders, at any time prior to the Effective
Date:

    - by the mutual written consent of the Board of Directors of each Fund, or

    - by either Fund if the conditions to that Fund's obligations under the Plan
      have not been satisfied or waived.

    If the Reorganization has not been consummated by September 30, 2001, the
Plan automatically terminates on that date, unless a later date is mutually
agreed upon by the Board of Directors of each Fund.


    REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION.  The Board of Directors of each Fund
informally considered a combination of CIK and CGF over the last several years.
The Boards formally considered the combination at joint meetings of each Board
held on January 26, 2001, February 5, 2001, February 9, 2001 and February 14,
2001 and unanimously approved the Reorganization at joint meetings of each Board
held on February 21, 2001. The Board of Directors of both Funds have common
members and all of the Directors of each Fund were present at each of these
meetings. For the reasons discussed below, the Board of Directors of each Fund,
including the Independent Directors of each Fund, after consideration of the
potential benefits of the Reorganization to the shareholders of that Fund and
the expenses expected to be incurred by that Fund in connection with the
Reorganization, unanimously determined that:


    - the interests of the existing shareholders of that Fund will not be
      diluted as a result of the proposed Reorganization, and

    - the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of that Fund.

                                       21

    IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND, THE REORGANIZATION
SERVES THE BEST INTERESTS OF EACH FUND AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS.

    The approval and recommendation by each Board of Directors that shareholders
vote for the Reorganization springs from a number of issues which the Fund's
investment advisor and the Directors have been considering over a period of
time. Each Board of Directors has consistently held the view that an increase in
the Fund's asset size could potentially benefit the Funds' shareholders in
several ways: the expense ratio could be reduced, the Fund's investment
flexibility and opportunities could be enhanced and analyst coverage of the Fund
perhaps would be expanded or initiated, a factor that the investment advisor has
identified as one that may positively affect the discount/premium at which a
closed-end fund trades.

    In deciding to approve the course of action described below, the Independent
Directors considered many factors, including but not limited to market
information, analyses and advice provided to them by CSAM. In addition, in
considering the merits of the proposed Reorganization, the Boards also
considered the larger asset size of the combined Fund relative to each
constituent Fund standing alone, the newly revised fee structure and the
potential for economies of scale that is likely to result from the larger asset
size of the combined Fund. Based on data presented by CSAM, the Board of
Directors of each Fund believes that a combination of the Funds is likely to
result in a total operating expense ratio that will be lower than the current
total operating expense ratio of either Fund.

    The Boards also considered CSAM's representation to them that a larger asset
base would provide benefits in portfolio management. After the Reorganization,
the Surviving Fund may be better able to diversify portfolio holdings and
thereby mitigate risks, while participating in more investment opportunities. In
addition, a larger asset size could result in a more liquid trading market for
shares of the Surviving Fund than either Fund currently enjoys separately.
Further, the Reorganization itself may focus the attention of a wider circle of
securities analysts on the Surviving Fund and may eliminate confusion in the
marketplace that results from two funds with a similar objective, similar
policies and similar names managed by the same adviser.

    There can be no guarantee that any of these potential beneficial results
will be realized.

    The Board of Directors of each Fund, in declaring advisable and recommending
the proposed Reorganization, also considered the following:

    2.  the capabilities and resources of CSAM and its affiliates in the areas
       of investment management and shareholder servicing;

    3.  expense ratios and information regarding fees and expenses of the Funds,
       both currently and on a pro forma basis, including the new fee
       arrangement pursuant to which the fees charged by CSAM to the Surviving
       Fund will be based upon the lower of the average weekly stock price
       (market value) of the Surviving Fund's outstanding shares or its average
       weekly net assets;

    4.  the terms and conditions of the Reorganization and whether it would
       result in dilution of the interests of either Fund and its existing
       shareholders;

    5.  the compatibility of the Fund's portfolio securities, investment
       objectives, policies and restrictions;

    6.  the tax consequences to each Fund and its shareholders in connection
       with the Reorganization; and

    7.  the anticipated expenses of the Reorganization.

                                       22

    In reviewing issues relating to the structure of the Reorganization and the
selection of the surviving corporation in the Reorganization, each Board also
considered information provided to them by CSAM concerning:

    - the comparative performance records of the two Funds,

    - public and market perception of the two Funds,

    - the relative size of the two Funds, and

    - the investment policies, strategies and personnel CSAM intends to utilize
      in managing the combined fund.

    Each Fund's Board of Directors and CSAM believe that the reorganization is
in step with each Fund's objective and consistent with the repositioning of its
portfolio. For example, by acquiring the assets of CGF, CIK is expected to be
able to better pursue its objective of seeking current income because some of
those assets represent higher yielding emerging markets debt. In addition, a
portion of CGF's portfolio is comprised of domestic high yield debt that,
although still below investment grade, is rated higher than the domestic high
yield debt held by CIK. Moreover, studies have shown that adding an
international component to a domestic portfolio can help to stabilize it because
domestic and international markets will sometimes move in opposite directions.


    The Boards also considered information provided to them by CSAM which
indicated that the yield on the repositioned CGF portfolio was less than the
yield on the repositioned CIK portfolio. This information showed that the
Reorganization would cause the current yield on the Surviving Fund to be less
than the current yield on CIK, at least in the short term. However, the Board
considered that the average credit quality of the instruments comprising CGF,
although below investment grade, was higher than that of CIK, and that the
Surviving Fund's overall total return (which includes both income and capital
appreciation or stability) should benefit from such higher average credit
quality. The Board was also advised that the relative yields are partly a
function of market conditions at the time the various instruments were purchased
and that, as compared with receiving a cash infusion which would have to be
invested at current rates, CGF's current yield compared favorably. The Board
also considered average portfolio turnover rates and maturity information and
concluded that the other benefits of the Reorganization, as described throughout
this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, outweigh the short-term reduction in yield.


    Based on the factors discussed above, the Board of Directors of each Fund
concluded that the expenses of the Reorganization are outweighed by the benefits
that are anticipated to be derived from the Reorganization.


    TERMS OF THE PLAN.  In addition to the terms of the Plan described earlier
in this Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, the following is a summary of certain terms
of the Plan.


    Generally, the Plan sets forth various representations and warranties of the
parties and describes the mechanics of the transaction and includes a number of
other conditions to the completion of the Reorganization, such as the
requirement that good standing certificates be obtained by each party and that
no stop-orders or similar regulatory barriers have been issued by the SEC.


    For purposes of valuing assets in connection with the Reorganization, the
assets of CGF will be valued pursuant to the principles and procedures identical
to those utilized by CIK, which principles and procedures are also utilized by
CGF in valuing its own assets and determining its own liabilities. As a result,
it is not expected that CIK's valuation procedures as applied to CGF's portfolio
securities will result in any difference from the valuation that would have
resulted from the application of CGF's valuation procedures to such securities.
The net asset value per share of common stock of the Surviving Fund will be
determined in accordance with these principles and procedures, and the Surviving
Fund


                                       23


will certify the computations involved. The net asset value per share of each
Fund will not be adjusted to take into account differences in unrealized gains
and losses.


    The Surviving Fund will issue separate certificates or share deposit
receipts for common stock of the Surviving Fund to shareholders of CGF. The
Surviving Fund will deliver these certificates or share deposit receipts
representing shares of common stock of the Surviving Fund to Fleet National Bank
c/o EquiServe, L.P., as the transfer agent and registrar for common stock of the
Surviving Fund. The Surviving Fund will not permit any CGF shareholder to
receive new certificates representing shares of common stock of the Surviving
Fund until the shareholder has surrendered his or her outstanding certificates
representing shares of the common stock of CGF or, in the event of lost
certificates, posted adequate bond. CGF will request its shareholders to
surrender their outstanding certificates representing shares of the common stock
of CGF or post adequate bond therefor. Dividends payable to holders of record of
shares of the Surviving Fund as of any date after the Effective Date and prior
to the exchange of certificates by any shareholder of CGF will be paid to such
shareholder, without interest; however, such dividends will not be paid unless
and until such shareholder surrenders his or her stock certificates of CGF for
exchange.

    PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AT THIS TIME. UPON CONSUMMATION
OF THE REORGANIZATION, SHAREHOLDERS OF CGF WILL BE FURNISHED WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FOR EXCHANGING THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF THE SURVIVING
FUND.

    The net asset value of the shares of the Surviving Fund received by CGF
shareholders plus the cash amounts received upon the purchase of fractional
share interests by the Surviving Fund will equal the net asset value of the CGF
shares exchanged.

    The Plan may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Date by mutual
agreement of each Fund's Board of Directors or by either Fund if any of the
obligations of the other Fund have not been fulfilled or waived or if the other
Fund has made a material and intentional misrepresentation. The Plan will
automatically terminate after September 30, 2001 if the Reorganization has not
been consummated, unless such time is extended by mutual agreement of the Board
of Directors of each Fund.

    The Plan may be amended, modified or supplemented by mutual agreement of CIK
and CGF. However, no amendments which would have the effect of changing the
provisions for determining the number of shares issued to CGF shareholders will
be permitted following the special meeting unless those shareholders consent to
the amendment.


    NO DISSENTERS' RIGHTS.  Under applicable Maryland law, the shareholders of
neither Fund are entitled to demand the fair value of their shares upon the
Reorganization. The shareholders of both Funds will be bound by the terms of the
Plan if Proposal 1 is approved by the required shareholder vote at each meeting.
However, any shareholder of either Fund may sell his or her shares at any time
prior to the Reorganization on the NYSE at prevailing market prices.


    EXPENSES OF THE REORGANIZATION.  In evaluating the proposed Reorganization,
CSAM has estimated the amount of expenses the Funds would incur, including NYSE
listing fees, SEC registration fees, legal and accounting fees and proxy and
distribution costs. The estimated total expenses pertaining to the
Reorganization are $600,000. For more information about the expenses of the
Reorganization, See "Synopsis--Expenses of the Reorganization."

    The expenses of the Reorganization are expected to result in a reduction in
CGF's net asset value per share of approximately $.02504, and a reduction in
CIK's net asset value per share of approximately $.00864.

                                       24

    TAX CONSIDERATIONS.  The Plan and Reorganization are conditioned upon the
receipt by the Funds of an opinion from Willkie Farr & Gallagher, counsel to the
Funds, substantially to the effect that, based upon the facts, assumptions and
representations of the parties, for federal income tax purposes:

    - the Reorganization will constitute a tax-free "reorganization" within the
      meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and each Fund will be "a party
      to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code,

    - no gain or loss will be recognized by either Fund as a result of the
      Reorganization,

    - the basis of the assets of CGF in the hands of the Surviving Fund will be
      the same as the basis of such assets to CGF immediately prior to the
      Reorganization,

    - the holding period of the assets of CGF in the hands of the Surviving Fund
      will include the period during which such assets were held by CGF,

    - no gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of CGF upon the
      conversion of their CGF shares into common stock of the Surviving Fund
      except with respect to cash received upon the purchase of fractional share
      interests by the Surviving Fund,

    - the basis of shares of the Surviving Fund received by each shareholder of
      CGF (including any fractional share interests purchased by the Surviving
      Fund) will be the same as the basis of the shares of CGF exchanged
      therefor,

    - the holding period of shares of the Surviving Fund received by each
      shareholder of CGF (including any fractional share interests purchased by
      the Surviving Fund) will include the holding period during which the
      shares of CGF exchanged therefor were held, provided that at the time of
      the exchange the shares of CGF were held as capital assets in the hands of
      such shareholder of CGF, and

    - cash received for fractional share interests purchased by the Surviving
      Fund will generate gain or loss to shareholders receiving such cash.

    While CGF is not aware of any adverse state or local tax consequences of the
proposed Reorganization, it has not requested any ruling or opinion with respect
to such consequences and shareholders may wish to consult their own tax advisors
with respect to such matters.

    The shares of common stock of CGF and CIK are listed and trade on the NYSE
under the symbols "CGF" and "CIK", respectively. As of March 27, 2001, the net
asset value per share of CGF common stock was $7.08, and the market price per
share was $6.85. As of that same date, the net asset value per share of CIK
common stock was $5.66, and the market price per share was $5.70.


    DISCOUNT TO NET ASSET VALUE.  Shares of closed-end investment companies,
such as the Funds, have frequently traded at a discount from net asset value.
This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the
Funds' net asset values may decrease, and this risk may be greater for
shareholders expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period. THE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE FUNDS SHOULD THUS BE VIEWED AS BEING DESIGNED
PRIMARILY FOR LONG-TERM INVESTORS AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A VEHICLE FOR
TRADING PURPOSES.


    During the period since the inception of the Funds, the common stock of both
Funds has generally traded at a discount to net asset value, although CIK stock
has frequently traded at a premium to net asset value. It is not possible to
state whether shares of the Surviving Fund will trade at a premium or discount
to net asset value following the Reorganization, or the extent of any such
premium or discount. The Directors of both Funds have regularly considered, and
the Directors of the Surviving Fund will continue to consider, the respective
Fund's market price discount and the effect of the discount on the Surviving
Fund and its shareholders.

(1) Assumes the Reorganization had been consummated on December 31, 2000, and is
    for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many
    shares of CIK common stock shareholders of CGF will receive on the date the
    Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to
    reflect the number of shares of CIK common stock that actually will be
    received on or after such date.

(2) Does not reflect estimated reorganization related expenses of $600,000,
    which will be allocated equally between CGF and CIK.


(3) Assumes the issuance of 14,970,450 shares in exchange for the assets and
    liabilities of CGF. The number of shares issued was based on the net asset
    value of each Fund on December 31, 2000.


    DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS.  Each Fund pays dividends of
substantially all its net investment income monthly and makes distributions at
least annually of any net short-term capital gains and net long-term realized
capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses, including capital loss carryforwards). Dividends and
distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

    Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are principally due
to the timing of the recognition of defaulted bond interest and to differing
book and tax treatment for foreign currency transactions.


    Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions may
result in reclassifications to undistributed net investment income (loss),
undistributed realized gain (loss) and paid-in capital.



    If the Reorganization is approved by each Fund's shareholders, then as soon
as practicable before the Effective Date, CGF will pay its shareholders a cash
distribution of all undistributed 2001 net investment income. It is expected
that any undistributed realized net capital gains will be offset through the
utilization of capital loss carryforwards prior to the Effective Date.



    UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS/LOSSES.  As of December 31, 2000, CGF had
approximately $16.9 million of unrealized capital losses, representing
approximately 20% of its net assets. As of that same date, CIK had approximately
$75.8 million of unrealized capital losses, representing approximately 38% of
its net assets. As of December 31, 2000, CGF had approximately $6.9 million of
capital loss carryforwards, while CIK had approximately $10.8 million of capital
loss carryforwards.


                                       28


    PORTFOLIO VALUATION.  Investments of each Fund are stated at value in each
Fund's financial statements. Market values for fixed-income securities are
generally valued at the latest quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market.
However, fixed-income securities may also be valued on the basis of prices
provided by a pricing service which are based primarily on institutional size
trading in similar groups of securities. Other securities listed on an exchange
are valued at the latest quoted sales prices on the day of valuation or, if
there were no sales on such day, the last bid price quoted on such day.
Quotations of foreign currency prices denominated in a foreign currency are
converted to U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the valuation date.
Securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, if it approximates market value. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available (including restricted investments which are
subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as determined
in good faith by the board of directors. In determining fair value,
consideration is given to cost, operating and other financial data.


    PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.  CSAM will select the brokers or dealers that will
execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Funds. In
connection with the selection of brokers and dealers, the primary objective is
to seek to obtain the execution of each investment transaction at a price and
commission which provides the most favorable total cost or proceeds reasonably
obtainable under the circumstances. For a more detailed discussion of the Funds'
brokerage allocation practices, see the SAI under "Portfolio Transactions."

    DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN.  Each Fund operates a Dividend
Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan, the InvestLink Program, or the "Program",
sponsored and administered by Fleet National Bank, c/o EquiServe, L.P., pursuant
to which Fund dividends and distributions, net of any applicable
U.S. withholding tax, are reinvested in shares of the Fund. Fleet National Bank
c/o EquiServe, L.P., serves as the Program Administrator for the shareholders in
administering the Program.

    An interested shareholder may join the Program at any time by submitting a
completed Authorization Form to the Program Administrator. Such a form can be
obtained by contacting the Administrator at 1-800-730-6001. If a participant
selects the dividend reinvestment option, automatic investment of dividends
generally will begin with the next dividend payable after the Program
Administrator receives his enrollment form. Once in the Program, a person will
remain a participant until he terminates his participation or sells all shares
held in his Program account, or his account is terminated by the Program
Administrator. A participant may change his investment options at any time by
requesting a new enrollment form and returning it to the Program Administrator.

    A shareholder whose shares are held by a broker or nominee that does not
provide a dividend reinvestment program may be required to have his shares
registered in his own name to participate in the Program. The receipt of
dividends and distributions in stock under the Program will not relieve
participants of any income tax (including withholding tax) that may be payable
on such dividends or distributions.

    If the Board of Directors of a Fund declares an income dividend or a capital
gains distribution payable either in that Fund's common stock or in cash, as
shareholders may have elected, nonparticipants in the Program will receive cash
and participants in the Program who have opted for the dividend reinvestment
option will receive shares of common stock of the Fund purchased on the open
market by the Program Administrator. The number of shares of common stock to be
purchased for a participant depends on the amount of his dividends, cash
payments or bank account or payroll deductions, less applicable fees and
commissions, and the purchase price of the shares. Such purchases will be made
by participating brokers as agent for the participants using normal cash
settlement practices. All shares of common stock purchased through the Program
will be allocated to participants as of the settlement date, which is usually
three Business Days from the purchase date.

                                       29

    Participants in the Program also have the option of making additional cash
payments, or bank account deductions, to the Program Administrator for the
purchase of shares of common stock of the Fund, in any amount from $100 up to
$100,000 annually.

    A participant will be assessed certain charges in connection with his
participation in the Program. First-time investors will be subject to an initial
service charge which will be deducted from their initial cash deposit. All
optional cash deposit investments will be subject to a service charge. Sales
processed through the Program will have a service fee deducted from the net
proceeds, after brokerage commissions. In addition to these transaction charges,
participants will be assessed per share processing fees which include brokerage
commissions. Participants will not be charged any fee for reinvesting dividends.

    All correspondence concerning the Program should be directed to the Program
Administrator at Fleet National Bank c/o EquiServe, L.P., InvestLink Program,
P.O. Box 8040, Boston, MA 02266-8040. For a more complete description of the
Plan, see "Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan" in the SAI.

    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PROVISIONS.  Both Funds are Maryland corporations and
have similar charter and by-law provisions.

    SPECIAL VOTING PROVISIONS AND REQUIREMENTS.  Certain provisions of the
Funds' By-laws could have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities
or persons to acquire control of the Fund, to cause it to engage in certain
transactions or to modify its structure. Each Fund's By-laws contain provisions
the effect of which is to prevent matters, including nominations of directors,
from being considered at shareholders' meetings where the Fund has not received
sufficient prior notice of the matters. Each Fund's By-laws provide, among other
things, that:

    - a majority of the outstanding capital stock of such Fund is required to
      request a special meeting of shareholders;

    - matters to be discussed and acted upon at special meetings of the
      shareholders must be specified in the call for the meeting;

    - certain advance notice requirements must be met in order for shareholders
      to submit proposals at meetings of the shareholders and for nominations by
      shareholders for election to the Board of Directors; and


    - the power to amend the By-laws is reserved to the Board of Directors,
      except as otherwise required by the Investment Company Act.


    These provisions could have the effect of depriving shareholders of an
opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by
discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of either Fund in a
tender offer or similar transaction. In the opinion of each Fund's Board of
Directors, however, these provisions offer several possible advantages,
including:

    - they may require persons seeking control of either Fund to negotiate with
      its management regarding the price to be paid for the shares required to
      obtain such control,

    - they promote continuity and stability, and

    - they enhance each Fund's ability to pursue long-term strategies that are
      consistent with its investment objectives.


    The full text of CIK's and CGF's Articles of Incorporation and By-laws are
on file with the SEC. The CIK charter and By-laws, as may be amended from time
to time, will govern the Surviving Fund after the Reorganization.


                                       30


    INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS.  CSAM may be deemed to have an interest in the
Plan and the Reorganization because it provides separate advisory services to
CGF and CIK. CSAM receives compensation from CGF and CIK for services it
provides pursuant to separate advisory agreements. The terms and provisions of
these agreements and the new Investment Advisory Agreement to be entered into
between the Surviving Fund and CSAM upon the consummation of the reorganization
are described under "Proposal 2--Approval of New Investment Advisory Agreement
with CSAM" and in the SAI. Future growth of assets of the Surviving Fund, if
any, can be expected to increase the total amount of fees payable to CSAM.
However, assuming Proposal 2 is approved, CIK's investment advisory fee will be
based upon the lower of the average weekly stock price (market value) of its
outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets, and, as a result, whenever
CIK's shares trade at a discount, the investment advisory fee payable to CSAM by
CIK would be reduced. For example, if the new fee structure had been in place as
of January 1, 2000, the investment advisory fee payable to CSAM for that year
would have been $1,071,152 (instead of $1,148,861 under the existing
arrangement), or 0.47% of net assets. For more information about the reduction
in CSAM's aggregate advisory fees, see "Proposal 2--Approval of New Investment
Advisory Agreement with CSAM."

                            MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

    It is not possible to calculate the ownership of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Surviving Fund by any of the persons listed above after
consummation of the Reorganization because the Funds are unable to predict what
the net asset value of either Fund will be on the Effective Date. Based upon
current net asset values, Ron Olin Investment Management Company and Ron Olin
would own beneficially, 4.93% and 4.54%, respectively, of CIK's outstanding
common stock.


                                    EXPERTS


    Each Fund has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Two Commerce Square,
Suite 1700, 2001 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, as its independent
public accountants who will audit its financial statements.


                                 REQUIRED VOTE

    As the Reorganization is expected to result in the issuance of a number of
shares of CIK in excess of 20% of CIK's outstanding shares of common stock, the
NYSE listing rules (but not Maryland law) require that the Reorganization be
approved by the shareholders of CIK. The shareholder vote required by the NYSE
rules is a majority of the votes cast by CIK shareholders, provided also that
the total number of votes cast represents at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of common stock of CIK. Under Maryland law and CGF's charter, a majority
of the outstanding shares of CGF must approve Proposal 1. To facilitate
compliance with Section 2-419 of the MGCL (which applies to transactions between
corporations with common directors), any shares voted in favor of the
Reorganization by the Directors of the Funds or CSAM will not be counted in
determining whether the required vote has been obtained on Proposal 1. Subject
to such approval, the Reorganization is currently scheduled to be consummated
promptly after the meetings. The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that
the shareholders of each Fund vote in favor of this Proposal 1.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    There are currently no material legal proceedings to which the Funds are a

rely as to certain matters of Maryland law on the opinion of Venable, Baetjer

   PROPOSAL 2 (CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUND SHAREHOLDERS ONLY):
                 APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

                                   BACKGROUND


    CSAM currently acts as CIK's investment adviser pursuant to an investment
advisory agreement between CSAM and the Fund dated June 13, 1995, which was last
approved by CIK's shareholders on June 13, 1995. See "Proposal 1 (Both Funds):
Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to which CIK Will
Acquire All the Assets and Liabilities of CGF--Synopsis--Fees and Expenses."



    On March 15, 2001, at an in-person meeting of the Board specifically called
for this purpose, the Board of Directors of the Fund, including the Independent
Directors, unanimously approved a new investment advisory agreement (the "New
Investment Advisory Agreement") conditional upon approval of the Reorganization
and recommended that it be approved by the shareholders of the Fund, to become
effective upon the consummation of the Reorganization. The New Investment
Advisory Agreement will be substantially the same as the current investment
advisory agreement except that the investment advisory fee will be based upon a
percentage of the lower of the average weekly stock price (market value) of the
Fund's outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets.


    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, CIK paid no brokerage
commissions to affiliated brokers. See "Portfolio Transactions" in the SAI for
more information.

    A description of the proposed New Investment Advisory Agreement is provided
below under "--The New Investment Advisory Agreement." This description is only
a summary and is qualified by reference to the form of investment advisory
agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, which is marked to show changes from the
current investment advisory agreement for CIK.

    BOARD CONSIDERATIONS; REASONS FOR THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT


    At the March 15, 2001 board meeting, CSAM proposed changing the basis upon
which the fee is calculated. Changing the methodology by which the current
investment advisory fees are calculated as described above (that is, based on
the lower of the average weekly stock price (market value) or average weekly net
assets) would reduce investment advisory fees whenever the Surviving Fund trades
at a discount to net asset value, thereby lowering its overall expense ratio.


    In addition, the Board of Directors believes that calculating the investment
advisory fee with reference to the stock price (market value) when the Fund's
shares are trading at a discount will more closely align the interests of CSAM
with the interests of the Fund's shareholders in enhancing the Fund's market
value, recognizing that CSAM does not and cannot control the discount at which
Fund shares trade.

                                       38

    The Board of Directors also considered and evaluated the proposed New
Investment Advisory Agreement and determined that, except for the new fee
structure, the New Investment Advisory Agreement is not materially different
from the current investment advisory agreement. CSAM has confirmed that the
level and quality of the services provided to the Fund will not change if the
New Investment Advisory Agreement is approved by the Fund's shareholders.

              INFORMATION CONCERNING CREDIT SUISSE GROUP AND CSAM

    For information about the Fund's investment adviser, see "Proposal 1 (Both
Funds): Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which
CIK will Acquire all the Assets and Liabilities of CGF--Management of the
Funds."

              DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

    Under the current investment advisory agreement, CSAM provides the Fund with
ongoing investment advisory services. CSAM, subject to the general supervision
of the Directors and in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and
restrictions of the Fund, manages the investment operations of the Fund and the
composition of the portfolio of securities and investments (including cash)
belonging to the Fund. It is the responsibility of CSAM to make investment
decisions for the Fund and to place purchase and sale orders for portfolio
transactions. CSAM furnishes a continuous investment program for the Fund,
maintains books and records with respect to its securities transactions, and
pays all expenses involved in management of the Fund's investments. CSAM pays
the salaries, fees and expenses of directors or officers of the Fund who are
officers or employees of CSAM. The current agreement provides that CSAM shall
not be liable to the Fund or any stockholder for anything done or omitted by it
except acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of duties imposed upon it pursuant to the
current agreement, or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of securities.


    For a description of investment advisory fees paid by CIK, see "Proposal 1
(Both Funds): Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to
which CIK Will Acquire All the Assets and Liabilities of CGF--Synopsis--Fees and
Expenses." For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, CSAM earned $1,148,861
for advisory services rendered to CIK.


                     THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT


    Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Investment Advisory
Agreement. The New Investment Advisory Agreement is substantially the same as
the current investment advisory agreement except for modification of the basis
upon which the fee is calculated, that is, the lower of stock price or net
assets.


    The New Investment Advisory Agreement will be dated as of the date
shareholder approval is granted. The agreement will be in effect for an initial
two-year term, ending on the second anniversary of the date on which shareholder
approval is granted. The agreement may continue thereafter from year to year
only if specifically approved at least annually by either (i) the Board of
Directors of the Fund or (ii) the "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of the Fund, and in either case, the vote of a majority of the
Independent Directors, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose.

    The implementation of the New Investment Advisory Agreement is conditional
upon approval of the Reorganization.

   DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CURRENT AND THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

    Under the current investment advisory agreements, CSAM is entitled to
quarterly investment advisory fees computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the
Fund's average weekly net assets. Under the

                                       39

New Investment Advisory Agreement, CSAM will be entitled to receive quarterly
investment advisory fees computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's
average weekly market value or net assets (whichever is lower).

    The following table sets forth the investment advisory fee paid for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 under the current investment advisory
agreement and the amount that would have been paid had the New Investment
Advisory Agreement been in effect for CIK for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000 taking into consideration the new fee structure. Also shown is
the difference between the two amounts in dollars and as a percentage of the fee
paid under the existing agreement.

                           REQUIRED SHAREHOLDER VOTE

    Approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative
vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund as defined
under "General".

    IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FUND, THE NEW INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT SERVES THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE SURVIVING FUND AND ITS
SHAREHOLDERS, AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
PROPOSAL 2.

   PROPOSAL 3 (CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUND SHAREHOLDERS ONLY):
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

                                   BACKGROUND

    At the Meeting, five (5) Directors will be elected to hold office until the
next annual meeting of shareholders following their election and until their
respective successors are elected and qualified. It is the intention of the
person named in the accompanying Proxy to vote for the election of Enrique R.
Arzac, Lawrence J. Fox, James S. Pasman, Jr., James P. McCaughan and William W.
Priest. All of the nominees are currently members of the Board of Directors.
Messrs. Arzac, Fox, Pasman and Priest were re-elected as Directors of CIK at the
2000 annual shareholders' meeting. Mr. McCaughan was appointed a Director and
the Chairman of the Board at a meeting of the Board held on February 5, 2001.
Each of the nominees has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to
serve as a Director if elected.

    The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees
named above will become unavailable for election as a Director, but if that
should occur before the Meeting, Proxies will be voted for such persons as the
Board may recommend.

    If the Reorganization is consummated, the Directors of CIK will be the
Directors of the Surviving Fund.

    For information about the Directors of CIK, each of whom has been nominated
for re-election to the Board of Directors, see "Proposal 1 (Both Funds):
Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which CIK Will
Acquire All the Assets and Liabilities of CGF--Management of the Fund--Directors
and Principal Officers."


    The Fund pays annual compensation of $12,500, plus $1,000 for attendance per
meeting of the Board of Directors or Committees thereof, plus certain
out-of-pocket expenses, to each Director that is not affiliated with CSAM, its
investment adviser (three Directors are not affiliated with CSAM). Each


                                       40


such Director is also a director of one or more investment companies advised by
CSAM, and in that capacity receives annual and per-meeting fees, plus certain
out-of-pocket expenses, for services as a director of such Fund. The total
remuneration paid by CIK during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 to all
such unaffiliated directors was $49,500.


    The following table shows certain compensation information for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000 for each Director of CGF and CIK who is not
affiliated with CSAM. The Fund has no bonus, profit sharing, pension or
retirement plans.

- --------------

(1) Includes CGF and CIK


    The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee. Messrs. Arzac, Fox and Pasman
constitute CIK's Audit Committee, which is composed of directors who are not
interested persons of CIK as defined by the 1940 Act and who are independent as
defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.



    There is also a Valuation Committee composed of Messrs. Priest, Arzac and
Pasman which reviews prices of illiquid or restricted securities.
Messrs. Arzac, Fox and Pasman constitute CIK's Nominating Committee, which is
composed of directors who are not interested persons of CIK. The Nominating
Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The
Nominating Committee selects and nominates new Independent Directors. The
Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders should a
vacancy arise. Recommendations should be submitted to the Nominating Committee
in care of the Secretary of CIK. CIK does not have a compensation committee.



    During 2000, there were four meetings of the Board and two meetings of the
Audit Committee. Each Director attended seventy-five percent or more of the
aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which he served held
during the period for which he was a Director.



AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT



    Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the CIK's Board, a copy
of which is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix B, the
Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with CIK's independent public
accountants, reviewing annual financial statements and recommending the
selection of CIK's independent public accountants. The Audit Committee advises
the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters
affecting CIK. The Audit Committee has met with Fund management to discuss,
among other things, CIK's audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2000. The Audit Committee has also met with CIK's independent
public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") and discussed with them
certain matters required under SAS 61 including, but not limited to, the scope
of CIK's audit, CIK's financial statements and CIK's accounting controls. The
Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. The Audit Committee has
discussed with PwC their independence and has considered whether the provision


                                       41


of services by PwC to the Funds and to CSAM, as more fully described below, was
compatible with maintaining PwC's independence. Based upon these reviews and
discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that CIK's audited
financial statements be included in CIK's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders for
the year ended December 31, 2000 and be mailed to Shareholders and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Mr. McCaughan is the Chairman of the Board of CIK and has served in such
position since February 5, 2001, Mr. Lindquist has been President of CIK since

having previously served as Vice President of CIK since CIK's inception.
Ms. Moran has been an Investment Officer of CIK since August 15, 1996.
Mr. Liebes is Senior Vice President of CIK and was appointed to such position on
August 11, 1997, having previously been CIK's Secretary until May 16, 1996.
Mr. Pignataro has been Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of CIK since
July 26, 1999 and has been Secretary of CIK since May 16, 1997, having

    By virtue of the responsibilities assumed by its investment adviser, CIK
itself requires no employees other than its officers, and none of its officers
devotes full-time responsibilities to the affairs of CIK. All officers are
employees of and are compensated by CSAM and do not receive any compensation
from CIK.

            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE


    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(f) of
the Investment Company Act require the Fund's officers and Directors, officers
and directors of the investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment
adviser, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Fund's
shares, to file reports of ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the NYSE and the Fund. Based solely upon its review of the copies of
such forms received by it and written representations from such persons, the
Fund believes that, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, all filing
requirements applicable to such persons were complied with.

    SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL (CGF).  CGF has received notice that a shareholder,
Ralph Bradshaw, intends to solicit proxies in favor of electing himself, Gary
Bentz, Andrew Strauss, Glenn Wilcox and Scott Rogers as Directors at the 2001
annual shareholders' meeting of CGF. If Proposal 1 is approved at the special
meeting and the Reorganization is consummated, that proposed solicitation will
be rendered moot, as CGF will be dissolved as part of the Reorganization. If
Proposal 1 is not approved, the Board of Directors of CGF intends to oppose
Mr. Bradshaw and his nominees.



    SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS (CIK).  Notice is hereby given that for a shareholder
proposal to be considered for inclusion in CIK's proxy material relating to its
2002 annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholder proposal must be received
by CIK no later than December 28, 2002. A shareholder proposal submitted for
inclusion in CIK's proxy statement, including any accompanying supporting
statement, may not exceed 500 words. A shareholder desiring to submit a proposal

shares with a market value of $2,000 and must have held such shares for at least
one year. Further, the shareholder must continue to hold such shares through the
date on which the meeting is held. Documentary support regarding the foregoing
must be provided along with the proposal. There are additional requirements
regarding proposals of shareholders, and a shareholder contemplating submission
of a proposal for inclusion in CIK's proxy statement is referred to Rule 14a-8
promulgated under the 1934 Act. The timely submission of a proposal does not
guarantee its inclusion in CIK's proxy materials.


    Pursuant to the By-laws of CIK, at any annual meeting of the shareholders,
only such business will be conducted as has been properly brought before the
annual meeting. To be properly brought before the annual meeting, the business
must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given
by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a shareholder.

                                       43


    For business to be properly brought before the annual meeting by a
shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of CIK. To be timely, any such notice must be delivered to or
mailed and received at Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, 466 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY
10017 not later than February 13, 2002; provided, however, that in the event
that the date of the 2002 annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30
days from May 1, 2002, the first anniversary of the 2001 annual meeting, notice
by such shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the 10th day following the day on which notice or public
announcement of the date of the 2002 annual meeting is given or made.


    Any notice by a shareholder to CIK must set forth as to each matter the
shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description
of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons
for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address,
as they appear on CIK's books, of the shareholder proposing such business,
(iii) the class and number of Shares of the capital stock of CIK which are
beneficially owned by the shareholder, (iv) a representation that the
shareholder is a holder of record of shares of CIK entitled to vote at such
meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present
such business, (v) whether the shareholder intends or is part of a group which
intends to solicit proxies from other shareholders in support of such business,
and (vi) any material interest of the shareholder in such business.


    CIK may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any
shareholder proposals that are not submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under
the 1934 Act and which are validly submitted after the advance notice deadline
for submission of proposals pursuant to CIK's By-laws indicated above. Even if
timely notice is received, CIK may exercise discretionary voting authority in
certain other circumstances as described under Rule 14a-4(c) under the 1934 Act
which governs CIK's use of discretionary proxy voting authority. Discretionary
voting authority is the ability to vote proxies that shareholders have executed
and returned to CIK on matters not specifically reflected on the form of proxy.


    OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING.  The Board of Directors of each
Fund is not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the
Meeting other than the matters set forth herein. Should any other matters
requiring a vote of shareholders arise, the proxy in the accompanying form will
confer upon the person or persons entitled to vote the shares represented by
such proxy the discretionary authority to vote the shares as to any such other
matters in their discretion in the interest of the respective Fund. PLEASE
COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD(S) PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS
REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.

    THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is made as of
this 27th day of March, 2001, between Credit Suisse Asset Management Strategic
Global Income Fund, Inc. (the "Target Fund" or "CGF"), a Maryland corporation
and a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), and Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
(the "Acquiring Fund" or "CIK" and, together with CGF, the "Parties"), a
Maryland corporation and a registered investment company under the 1940 Act.


    This agreement contemplates a tax-free transaction which qualifies for
federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The reorganization will consist of the transfer of all of the assets of CGF in
exchange for shares of common stock of CIK ("CIK Shares") and cash for
fractional CIK Shares, the assumption by CIK of all the liabilities of CGF, and
the distribution of CIK Shares to the shareholders of CGF in liquidation of CGF,
all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


    WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CGF has determined that the exchange of
all of the assets of CGF for CIK shares and the assumption of all the
liabilities of CGF by CIK is in the best interests of the CGF shareholders and
the interests of the existing shareholders of CGF would not be diluted as a
result of this transaction; and



    WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CIK has determined that the exchange of
all of the assets of CGF for CIK shares and the assumption of CGF's liabilities
by CIK is in the best interests of the CIK's shareholders and that the interests
of the existing shareholders of CIK would not be diluted as a result of this
transaction.


    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter
set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  DEFINITIONS

    Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are specifically defined
herein.

2.  BASIC TRANSACTION

    2.1  THE REORGANIZATION.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein,
CGF agrees to transfer its assets as set forth in paragraph 2.2 to CIK, and CIK
agrees in exchange therefor: (i) to deliver to CGF the number of all CIK Shares
determined by dividing the value of CGF's net assets, computed in the manner and
as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1, by the net asset value per
share of one CIK Share computed in the manner and as of the time and date set
forth in paragraph 3.2 and cash for fractional shares of CIK as set forth in
paragraph 3.2; and (ii) to assume all of the liabilities of CGF. Such
transaction shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 4.1 (the
"Closing").

    2.2  TRANSFERRED ASSETS.

    (a) The assets of CGF to be acquired by CIK shall consist of all property
including, without limitation, all cash, securities and dividend or interest
receivables that are owned by CGF and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as
an asset on the books of CGF on the Effective Date provided in paragraph 4.1
(the "Effective Date").


    (b) CGF has provided CIK with a list of all of CGF's assets as of the date
of execution of this Agreement and CIK has confirmed that all such assets are of
the type in which CIK is permitted to invest and to hold. CGF reserves the right
to sell any of the securities included on this list but will not, without the
prior approval of CIK, acquire any additional securities other than securities
of the type in which CIK is permitted to invest. CIK, will, within a reasonable
time prior to the Effective Date, furnish CGF with a list of its assets. In the
event that CGF holds any investments which CIK identifies as a type which it may
not hold, and CIK so requests, CGF will dispose of such securities prior to the


                                      A-6


Effective Date. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of CGF and
CIK, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage
limitations imposed upon CIK with respect to such investments, CGF, if requested
by CIK, will dispose of and/or reinvest a sufficient amount of such investments
as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Effective
Date.


    2.3  TRANSFERRED LIABILITIES.


    (a) The liabilities assumed by CIK shall include all of CGF's liabilities,
debts, obligations, and duties of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute,
accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course
of business, whether or not determinable at the Effective Date, and whether or
not specifically referred to in this Agreement.


    (b) CGF will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and
obligations prior to the Effective Date, other than those liabilities and
obligations which would otherwise be discharged at a later date in the ordinary
course of business.

    2.4  DIVIDEND.  As soon as practicable prior to the Effective Date, CGF will
declare and pay to its shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or
distributions so that it will have distributed substantially all of its
investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for
dividends paid) and realized net capital gain, if any, for the current taxable
year through the Effective Date.


    2.5  ARTICLES OF TRANSFER.  On the Effective Date (the "Effective Time"),
pursuant to articles of transfer (the "Articles of Transfer") accepted for
record by the State Department of Assessements and Taxation of Maryland (the
"Department"), CGF shall assign, transfer, deliver and convey all of its assets
to CIK, subject to all of its liabilities. CIK shall then accept the assets and
assume the liabilities such that at and after the Effective Time (i) the assets
at or after the Effective Time shall become and be the assets of CIK, and (ii)
the liabilities at the Effective Time shall attach to CIK, enforceable against
CIK to the same extent as if initially incurred by CIK. From and after the
Effective Time, all the assets of CGF shall transfer to, vest in, and devolve on
CIK without further act or deed, and CIK shall be liable for all the debts and
obligations of CGF, all as provided under Maryland law.



    2.6  LIQUIDATION.  On or as soon after the Effective Date as is conveniently
practicable (the "Liquidation Date"), CGF will liquidate and distribute pro rata
to its shareholders of record determined as of the Effective Time (the "CGF
Shareholders") the CIK Shares and cash it receives pursuant to paragraph 2.1.
Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by (i) the transfer of
CIK Shares then credited to the account of CGF on the books of CIK to open
accounts on the share records of CIK in the name of the CGF shareholders
representing the respective pro rata number of CIK Shares due such shareholders
and (ii) the payment of cash for fractional CIK shares in accordance with
paragraph 3.2(b). All issued and outstanding shares of CGF will simultaneously
be canceled on the books of CGF, although share certificates representing
interests in CGF, if any, will represent a number of CIK Shares after the
Effective Date as determined in accordance with paragraph 3.2 until replaced in
accordance with paragraph 7.11. Ownership of CIK Shares will be shown on the
books of CIK's transfer agent.


    2.7  DISSOLUTION.  CGF shall thereafter dissolve in accordance with Maryland
law.

3.  VALUATION


    3.1  TRANSFERRED ASSETS.  The value of CGF's assets to be acquired hereunder
shall be the value of such assets computed as of the close of regular trading on
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") on the business day preceding the
Effective Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation
Date"), using the valuation principles and procedures set forth in the
Registration Statement consistently utilized by CIK, which principles and
procedures are substantially similar to those employed by CGF when valuing its
own assets and determining its own liabilities. Such valuation


                                      A-7


and determination shall be the responsibility of CIK, shall be made in
cooperation with CGF and shall be confirmed in writing by CIK to CGF.


    3.2  CIK SHARES.

    (a) The number of CIK Shares to be issued in exchange for the corresponding
net assets of CGF shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of
CGF determined using the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 3.1 by
the net asset value per Share of CIK. The net asset value per share of CIK
Shares shall be determined in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth
in the Registration Statement and consistently utilized by CIK, and CIK shall
certify the computations involved.

    (b) CGF shareholders will not receive any fractional shares of CIK as part
of the CGF distribution. In lieu thereof, CGF will receive from CIK for
distribution to its shareholders cash in an amount equal to the aggregate net
asset value of the fractional shares otherwise distributable to the CGF
shareholders, and the total number of CIK shares otherwise issuable to CGF will
be reduced by that number of CIK shares having an aggregate net asset value
equal to the cash so paid to CGF.

    3.3  ADMINISTRATOR.  All computations of value shall be made on behalf of
CIK by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the administrator and accounting agent to
each Fund, in accordance with the regular practice of CGF and CIK, respectively.
No formula will be used to adjust the net asset value so determined of either of
the Parties to take into account differences in realized and unrealized gains
and losses.

4.  CLOSING AND EFFECTIVE DATE


    4.1  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The Effective Date for the Reorganization shall be
May 14, 2001, or such other date as the parties to the Reorganization may agree
to in writing. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take
place simultaneously on the Effective Date unless otherwise provided. The
Closing shall be held as of 9:00 a.m., at the offices of Willkie Farr &
Gallagher, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York, or at such other time and/or
place as the parties may agree.


    4.2  DELIVERIES AT CLOSING.

    (a) At the Closing, (i) CGF will deliver to CIK the various certificates and
documents referred to in Article 7 below, (ii) CIK will deliver to CGF the
various certificates and documents referred to in Article 8 below, and
(iii) CGF and CIK will file jointly with the State Department of Assessments and
Taxation of Maryland (the "Department") the Articles of Transfer and make all
other filings or recordings required by Maryland law in connection with the
Reorganization. The custodian for CIK (the "Custodian") shall deliver at the
Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (a) CGF's portfolio
securities, cash and any other assets have been delivered in proper form to CIK
on the Effective Date and (b) all necessary taxes, including all applicable
federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid, or provision
for payment has been made, in conjunction with the delivery of portfolio
securities.

    (b) CGF shall deliver at the Closing a list of the names and addresses of
its shareholders and the number of outstanding Shares owned by each such
shareholder immediately prior to the Closing certified by CGF's transfer agent
or President to the best of their knowledge and belief or provide evidence that
such information has been provided to CGF's transfer agent. CIK shall issue and
deliver a confirmation evidencing the CIK Shares to be credited to CGF's account
on the Effective Date to the Secretary of CGF or provide evidence satisfactory
to CGF that the CIK Shares have been credited to the account of CGF on the books
of CIK. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the relevant other parties
such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or
other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

                                      A-8

    4.3  CLOSING ON BUSINESS DAY.  In the event that on the Valuation Date
(a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of CIK
or CGF shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted or
(b) trading or the reporting of trading on the NYSE or elsewhere shall be
disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of CIK or
CGF is impracticable, the applicable Effective Date shall be postponed until the
first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and
reporting shall have been restored.

5.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIC

applied on a consistent basis ("GAAP") and present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of CGF as of such date in accordance with GAAP,
and there are no known contingent liabilities of CGF required to be reflected on
a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such
date not disclosed therein.

full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been

to shareholder approval, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding contract
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto.

    5.9  LEGAL COMPLIANCE.  Except as may have been previously disclosed to and
accepted by CIK, no material litigation or administrative proceeding or

(in which service of process has been received) or, to its knowledge, threatened

previously disclosed to and accepted by CIK, CGF knows of no facts which might
form the basis for the institution of such proceedings which would materially

LLP, dated the Effective Date, stating that such firm has performed a limited
review of the federal, state and local income tax returns for the period ended

attention which caused them to believe that such returns did not properly
reflect, in all material respects, the federal, state and local income taxes of
CGF for the period covered thereby; and that for the period from December 31,
2000 to and including the Effective Date and for any taxable year ending upon
the effective Date, such firm has performed a limited review to ascertain the

that either such amount has been paid or reserves have been established for
payment of such taxes, this review to be based on unaudited financial data; and
that based on such limited review, nothing has come to their attention which
caused them to believe that the taxes paid or reserves set aside for payment of
such taxes were not adequate in all material respects for the satisfaction of
federal, state and local taxes for the period from December 31, 2000, to and
including the Effective Date and for any taxable year ending upon the Effective
Date or that CGF would not continue to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax
purposes.

by CGF and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of CGF,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
pertaining to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable
principles; (iv) to such counsel's knowledge, no filing with, consent, approval,
authorization or order of, any United States federal or Maryland state court or
governmental authority is required for the consummation by CGF of the
Reorganization, except such as may be required and have been made or obtained
under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, the published rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder and under Maryland law and such as may be
required by state securities or blue sky laws; (v) the Registration Statement
has become effective under the 1933 Act, no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings
for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the
1933 Act, and with respect to CGF, the Registration Statement, and each
amendment or supplement thereto, as of their respective effective dates, appear
on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the
requirement of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; (vi) such counsel does not know of
any statutes, legal or governmental proceedings or contracts with respect to CGF
or other documents related to the Reorganization of a character required to be
described in the Registration Statement which are not described therein or, if
required to be filed, filed as required; (vii) the execution and delivery of
this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Reorganization will not,
violate any material provision of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the
By-laws, as amended, or any agreement (known to such counsel) to which CGF is a
party or by which CGF is bound; (viii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge,
no material suit, action or legal or administrative proceeding is pending or
threatened against CGF; and (ix) all corporate actions required to be taken by
CGF to authorize this Agreement and to effect the Reorganization have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate actions on behalf of CGF. Such counsel
shall also state that (A) while such counsel cannot make any representation as
to the accuracy or completeness of statements of fact in the Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to CGF, nothing
has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that, on the
respective effective dates of the Registration Statement and any amendment or
supplement thereto with respect to CGF, the date of the meeting of CGF
shareholders to approve the Reorganization and the Effective Date (1) the
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading with respect to CGF, and (2) the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with
respect to CGF; provided that such counsel need not express any opinion or
belief as to the financial statements, other financial data, statistical data or
information relating to CGF contained or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement. In giving the opinion set forth above, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher may state that it is relying on certificates of officers of CGF with
regard to matters of fact and certain certificates and written statements of
governmental officials with respect to the good standing of CGF and on the
opinion of Venable, Baetjer and Howard, LLP, as to matters of Maryland law.



    (b) CIK shall have received an opinion from Willkie Farr & Gallagher, as
counsel to CGF, dated the Effective Date, to the effect that for federal income
tax purposes (i) the Reorganization as provided in this Agreement will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code
and that CIK and CGF will each be a "party to a reorganization" within the
meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (ii) no gain or loss will be recognized
by CGF as a result of the Reorganization or upon the conversion of CGF shares to
CIK Shares; (iii) no gain or loss will be recognized by CIK as a result of the
Reorganization; (iv) no gain or loss will be recognized by the


                                      A-17


shareholders of CGF upon the conversion of their shares into CIK Shares except
to the extent such shareholders are paid cash in lieu of fractional CIK Shares
in the Reorganization; (v) the tax basis of CGF assets in the hands of CIK will
be the same as the tax basis of such assets in the hands of CGF immediately
prior to the consummation of the Reorganization; (vi) immediately after the
Reorganization, the tax basis of CIK Shares received by each shareholder of CGF
in the Reorganization (including that of fractional share interests purchased
from such shareholder by the Surviving Fund) will be equal, in the aggregate, to
the tax basis of the shares of CGF owned by such shareholder immediately prior
to the Reorganization; (vii) a shareholder's holding period for CIK Shares
(including that of fractional share interests purchased from such shareholder by
the Surviving Fund) will be determined by including the period for which he or
she held shares of CGF exchanged pursuant to the Reorganization, provided, that
such shares of CGF were held as capital assets; (viii) CIK's holding period with
respect to the CGF assets transferred will include the period for which such
assets were held by CGF; and (ix) the payment of cash to a CGF shareholder in
lieu of fractional CIK Shares will be treated as though the fractional shares
were distributed as part of the Reorganization and then redeemed by CIK with the
result that the CGF shareholder will have a capital gain or loss to the extent
the cash distribution differs from such shareholder's basis allocable to the
fractional shares, provided that the shares of CGF exchanged pursuant to the
Reorganization were held as capital assets immediately prior to such exchange
and that the shareholder's proportionate interest in CIK will be reduced as a
result of such cash distribution.

LLP, dated the Effective Date, stating that such firm has performed a limited
review of the federal, state and local income tax returns for the period ended

reflect, in all material respects, the federal, state and local income taxes of

applicable federal, state and local taxes, and has determined that either such
amount has been paid or reserves established for payment of such taxes, this

                CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUND, INC.

                     RESTATED INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT


    AGREEMENT, made as of the   th day of        , 2001 between Credit Suisse
Asset Management Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), and
Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Adviser").


                              W I T N E S S E T H

    WHEREAS, the Fund is a diversified, closed-end investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act");

    WHEREAS, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund
pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund dated as of June 13,
1995 (the "Investment Advisory Agreement");

    WHEREAS, following changes in the respective name of the Fund and of the
Adviser, the parties executed an Addendum dated as of February 7, 2000 to amend
the Investment Advisory Agreement to properly reflect the name of the Fund and
the entity that is providing investment advisory services to the Fund;

    WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Fund have recently moved to new offices at 466
Lexington avenue, New York; and

    WHEREAS, the parties now wish to restate the Investment Advisory Agreement
for the sole purposes of incorporating the changes made by the Addendum and
properly reflecting the business address of the Adviser and the Fund and to make
certain other ministerial changes.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

    1.  The Fund hereby appoints the Adviser to act as investment adviser to the
Fund. The Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services
herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

    2.  Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Fund, the
Adviser will manage the portfolio of securities and investments (including cash)
belonging to the Fund including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof
and the execution of agreements relating thereto, in accordance with the Fund's
investment objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus (as
defined in paragraph 4(f) of this Agreement) and subject to the following
understandings:

        (a) The Adviser shall furnish a continuous investment program for the
    Fund and in so doing shall determine from time to time what investments or
    securities will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and what portion
    of the assets will be invested or held uninvested as cash;

        (b) The Adviser shall use its best judgment in the performance of its
    duties under this Agreement;

        (c) The Adviser, in the performance of its duties and obligations under
    this Agreement, shall act in conformity with the Articles of Incorporation,
    the Bylaws and Prospectus of the Fund and with the instructions and
    directions of the Board of Directors of the Fund and will conform to and
    comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable
    federal and state laws and regulations;

        (d) The Adviser shall determine the securities to be purchased or sold
    by the Fund and as agent for the Fund will effect portfolio transactions
    pursuant to its determinations either directly

                                      B-2

    with the issuer or with any broker and/or dealer in such securities; in
    placing orders with brokers and/or dealers the Adviser intends to seek the
    best available price and execution for purchases and sales; the Adviser
    shall also determine whether or not the Fund shall enter into repurchase or
    reverse repurchase agreements;

        On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security
    to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other customers, the
    Adviser may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but
    shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased
    in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if
    any. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as
    well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the
    Adviser in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent
    with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and, if applicable, to such other
    customers;

        (e) The Adviser shall maintain books and records with respect to the
    securities transactions of the Fund and shall render to the Fund's Board of
    Directors such periodic and special reports as the Board of Directors may
    reasonably request;

        (f) The Adviser shall provide the Fund's Custodian as required with
    information relating to all transactions concerning the assets belonging to
    the Fund, except purchases of and any sales of the Fund's Common Stock
    ("Fund Shares"); and

        (g) The investment management services of the Adviser to the Fund under
    this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free
    to render similar services to others.

    3.  The Adviser is authorized to select the brokers and dealers that will
execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Fund and is
directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and
execution, except as prescribed herein. Unless and until otherwise directed by
the Board of Directors of the Fund, the Adviser may also effect individual
securities transactions at commission rates in excess of the minimum commission
rates available, if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research
services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or the Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to
the Fund. The execution of such transactions shall not be deemed to represent an
unlawful act or breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.

    4.  The Fund has delivered copies of each of the following documents to the
Adviser and will promptly notify and deliver to it all future amendments and
supplements, if any:

        (a) Articles of Incorporation of the Fund, filed with the Department of
    Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland on February 11, 1987 (such
    Articles of Incorporation, as presently in effect and as amended from time
    to time, being herein called the "Articles of Incorporation");

        (b) Bylaws of the Fund (such Bylaws, as presently in effect and as
    amended from time to time, being herein called the "Bylaws");

        (c) Certified resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund
    authorizing the appointment of the Adviser and approving the form of this
    Agreement;


        (d) Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
    on Form N-2 (No. 33-56526) (the "Registration Statement") as filed with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 2, 2001
    relating to the Fund and the Fund Shares, and all amendments thereto;


        (e) Notification of Registration of the Fund under the 1940 Act on Form
    N-8A as filed with the Commission on February 13, 1987 and all amendments
    thereto; and

                                      B-3


        (f) Prospectus of the Fund dated March 28, 2001 (such prospectus being
    herein called the "Prospectus").


    5.  The Adviser shall authorize and permit any of its partners, agents and
employees who may be elected as directors or officers of the Fund to serve in
the capacities in which they are elected. Services to be furnished by the
Adviser under this Agreement may be furnished through the medium of any of such
partners, agents or employees of the Adviser.

    6.  The Adviser shall keep the Fund's books and records required to be
maintained by it pursuant to paragraph 2(e) of this Agreement. The Adviser
agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the
Fund and it will promptly surrender any of such records to the Fund upon the
Fund's request. The Adviser further agrees to preserve for the periods
prescribed by Rule 31a-2 of the Commission under the 1940 Act any such records
as are required to be maintained by the Adviser with respect to the Fund by Rule
31a-1 of the Commission under the 1940 Act.

    7.  During the term of this Agreement the Adviser will pay all expenses
(including without limitation the compensation of all its partners, agents and
employees serving as directors or officers of the Fund pursuant to paragraph 5
of this Agreement) incurred by it in connection with its activities under this
Agreement other than the cost of securities and investments purchased for the
Fund (including taxes and brokerage commissions, if any).


    8.  For the services provided and the expenses borne pursuant to this
Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Adviser as full compensation therefor a fee,
computed weekly and payable quarterly, at an annual rate equal to 0.50% per
annum of the Average Weekly Base Amount (as defined below). This fee for each
quarter will be paid to the Adviser during the month succeeding such quarter.
For purposes of this agreement, "Average Weekly Base Amount" shall mean for any
quarter, the average of the lesser of (A) "Market Value" of the Fund's
outstanding shares and (B) the Fund's net assets, in each case determined as of
the last trading day for each week during that quarter. "Market value" of the
Fund's outstanding shares will be determined as follows:



        (a) if the Fund's shares are listed or traded on any national securities
    exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market, the shares shall be valued at the
    last sale price on the exchange or market on which they are principally
    traded, on the valuation date; if there is no sale on the valuation date,
    the shares shall be valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked
    price;



        (b) if the Fund's shares are traded over-the-counter but are not listed
    or traded on any national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National
    market, the shares shall be valued at the last sale price on the valuation
    date or, if no sale occurs on that date, at the last bid price; or



        (c) if the Fund's shares are not listed or traded on any recognized
    securities market or over-the-counter, the shares shall be deemed to have
    the same value as the underlying net assets of the fund as of the valuation
    date.



    Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of a quarter, the fee
for such part of that quarter shall be prorated according to the proportion that
such period bears to the full quarterly period and shall be payable upon the
date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining fees
payable to the Adviser, the value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed at
the times and in the manner specified in the Fund's Registration Statement as
from time to time in effect.


    9.  The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of
law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which
this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty
with respect to the receipt of compensation for services (in which case any
award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in
Section 36(b)(3) of the 1940 Act) or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence on

                                      B-4

its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement.


    10. This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof. Upon becoming
effective, this Agreement shall remain in effect for an initial two-year term
and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter if such continuance is
approved at least annually by (a) a majority of the outstanding voting
securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by vote of the Fund's Board of
Directors, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, and (b) vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund who are not
parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act)
of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval. This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors of
the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser,
or by the Adviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days'
written notice to the Fund. This Agreement will automatically and immediately
terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).


    11. The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent
contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized
by the Board of Directors of the Fund from time to time, have no authority to
act for or represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the
Fund.

    12. This Agreement may be amended by mutual consent, but the consent of the
Fund must be approved (a) by vote of a majority of those Directors of the Fund
who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the
1940 Act) of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on such amendment, and (b) by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund.

    13. Notices of any kind to be given to the Adviser by the Fund shall be in
writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to the Adviser at 466
Lexington Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10017, Attention: Chief
Executive Officer, with a copy to: General Counsel or at such other address or

with a copy to: Senior Vice President or at such other address or to such other
individual as shall be specified by the Fund to the Adviser in accordance with
this paragraph 13. The Adviser agrees to notify the Fund of any change in its
membership within a reasonable time of such change.

    14. The Fund agrees that if this Agreement is terminated and the Adviser
shall no longer be the adviser to the Fund, the Fund will, within a reasonable
period of time, change its name to delete reference to "Credit Suisse Asset
Management".

    15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

    16. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original.

                             CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

    Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt edged". Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

    Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective
elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present
which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.

    A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving
security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

    Baa -- Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations,
(i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.) Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.

    Ba -- Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well-assured. Often the protection of
interest and principal payments may be very moderate, and thereby not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
position characterize bonds in this class.

    B -- Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

    Caa -- Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.

    Ca -- Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative
in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
shortcomings.

    C -- Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues
so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining
any real investment standing.

Note: Moody's applies numerical modifiers "1", "2" and "3" in each generic
rating classification from Aaa through B in its corporate bond rating system.
The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category: the modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the
modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic
rating category.

STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATE AND MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS

    AAA -- An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is extremely strong.

    AA -- An obligation rated AA differs from the highest-rated obligations only
in a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is very strong.

    A -- An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in
higher rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is still strong.

    BBB -- An obligation rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters.
However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely
to lead to a weakened capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation. Obligations rated BB, B, CCC and CC and C are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. BB indicates the lowest degree of
speculation and C the highest. While such bonds will likely have some quality
and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties
or major exposures to adverse conditions.

    BB -- An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, which could lead to the
obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

    B -- An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

    CCC -- An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is
dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of
adverse business, financial or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to
have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

    CC -- An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

    C -- The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on this
obligation are being continued.

    D -- An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is
used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the
applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be
used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action
if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

    Plus (+) or minus (-) -- The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

    r -- This symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with significant
noncredit risks. It highlights risks to principal or volatility of expected
returns which are not addressed in the credit rating. Examples include:
obligations linked or indexed to equities, currencies, or commodities;
obligations exposed to severe prepayment risk -- such as interest-only or
principal-only mortgage securities; and obligations with unusually risky
interest terms, such as inverse floaters.

                                                                      APPENDIX B

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
                             CSAM CLOSED-END FUNDS

ORGANIZATION

    The members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors ("Directors")
of each CSAM-advised closed-end registered investment company (each a "Fund" and
together, the "Funds") are selected by the full Board of Directors of the
relevant Fund. The members of the Audit Committee shall consist of not less than
three persons (except as otherwise provided below), all of whom are not
"interested persons" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund and who are "independent" within the
meaning of the audit committee rules of any securities exchange on which the
Fund's shares are listed for trading. Each member of the Audit Committee shall
be financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Board of
Directors in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a
reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit Committee.
At least one member of the Audit Committee must have accounting or related
financial management expertise, as the Board of Directors interprets such
qualification in its business judgment. Any Fund that currently has less than
three members on its Audit Committee must have three members not later than
June 14, 2001. Thereafter, if the number of members on a Fund's Audit Committee
falls below three, such Fund shall fill any vacancies within 90 days.

STATEMENT OF POLICY

    Each Fund's Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process for
that Fund. A Fund's Board and its Audit Committee recognize that they are the
shareholders' representatives, that the auditors are ultimately accountable to
the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee and that the Board of Directors
and the Audit Committee have the authority and responsibility to select,
evaluate and, where appropriate, recommend to shareholders the selection or
replacement of the outside auditors.

    Each Fund's Audit Committee shall monitor the process for the Funds'
valuation of portfolio assets. This is key to providing shareholders and
regulators adequate, meaningful information for decision making. Members of each
Fund's Audit Committee must have a general understanding regarding the
accounting process and the control structure in place for each Fund. Open
communication with management and the independent auditors is essential.

    This Charter shall be reviewed annually by the Board of each Fund.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

    In order to provide reasonable flexibility, the following listed Committee
responsibilities are described in broad terms:

    - The Audit Committee's role is clearly one of oversight and review and not
      of direct management of the audit process. Each Fund's Board and Audit
      Committee recognize that the outside auditors are ultimately accountable
      to the Board and the Audit Committee.

    - The Audit Committee members are responsible for a general understanding of
      the subject Fund's accounting systems and controls.

    - Committee members shall periodically evaluate the independent audit firm's
      performance and the costs of its services. The Audit Committee will make
      recommendations to the full Board of Directors regarding the selection of
      the independent audit firm. The Committee shall request from the
      independent auditors periodically a formal written statement
      (1) delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Fund, its
      investment adviser and their corporate affiliates and including
      disclosures regarding the auditors' independence required by

      Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or
      supplemented, and (2) certifying that, in the view of the auditors, they
      are independent public accountants with respect to the Fund within the
      meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable
      rules and regulations thereunder. The Audit Committee is responsible for
      actively engaging in a dialogue with the auditors with respect to any
      disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and
      independence of the auditors, and for recommending that the full Board
      take appropriate steps, if any, in response to the auditors' response to
      satisfy itself of the independence of the auditors.

    - Each Fund's Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the scope of the
      audit proposed by the Fund's independent auditors.

    - Each Fund's Audit Committee is responsible for recording minutes of its
      meetings and reporting significant matters to the full Board of Directors.
      The Audit Committee shall meet no less frequently than annually and
      receive information (as necessary) from, among others, the general counsel
      of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC and Fund counsel, in addition to
      the auditors, in order to be informed about legal and accounting issues
      having the possibility of impacting the financial reporting process. This
      would include items of industry-wide importance and internal issues such
      as litigation.

    - Each Fund's Audit Committee is responsible for (i) reviewing and
      discussing with management and the auditors the Fund's audited financial
      statements; and (ii) discussing with the auditors the matters required to
      be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as may be modified
      or supplemented. The Audit Committee shall confirm that the independent
      auditors are satisfied with the disclosure and content of the Fund's
      audited financial statements and shall advise the Board of Directors with
      respect to its recommendation as to the inclusion of the Fund's audited
      financial statements in its Annual Report to Shareholders.

    - In reviewing the activities of the independent auditors, each Fund's Audit
      Committee shall consider the auditors' comments with respect to the
      appropriateness and adequacy of the Fund's accounting policies, procedures
      and principles.

    - The Audit Committee should take appropriate steps to keep apprised of
      regulatory changes and new accounting pronouncements that affect net asset
      value calculations and financial statement reporting requirements.

    - The Audit Committee of each Fund shall review and reassess the adequacy of
      this Charter on an annual basis.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

      CIK changed its name from CS First Boston Income Fund, Inc. to BEA Income
Fund, Inc. in August 1995 and to Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund,
Inc. in May 1999. CGF changed its name from CS First Boston Strategic Income
Fund, Inc. to BEA Strategic Income Fund, Inc. in August 1995, to BEA Strategic
Global Income Fund, Inc. in June of 1997, and to Credit Suisse Asset Management
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. in May 1999.

                COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Organization

      CGF and CIK are both closed-end, diversified management investment
companies registered under the Investment Company Act. Both Funds are organized
as corporations under the laws of the State of Maryland. Each Fund is managed
and advised by CSAM. The shares of common stock of each Fund are listed and
trade on the NYSE. After the Reorganization, CGF's shares will be delisted and
CGF be liquidated.

      The shares of common stock of each Fund have equal non-cumulative voting
rights and equal rights with respect to dividends, assets and dissolution. Each
Fund's shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable and have no
preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights. Fluctuations in the market
price of the Fund's shares is the principal investment risk of an investment in
either Fund. Portfolio management, market conditions, investment policies and
other factors affect such fluctuations. Although currently the investment
objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds are similar, there are
differences between them, as discussed below.

Investment Objectives

      The investment objective of CGF is high current income consistent with the
preservation of capital. CGF seeks to achieve this objective by investing in
higher yielding U.S. and foreign fixed-income securities, with an emphasis on
U.S. high yield (junk bonds) and emerging market securities. CIK's investment
objective is current income consistent with the preservation of capital. CIK
seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in fixed-income
securities, such as bonds, debentures and preferred stocks. CIK's investment
portfolio is not managed for capital appreciation. No assurance can be given
that the investment objective of either Fund will be achieved.

Investment Policies

      CGF must invest at least 65% of its total assets in income-producing
securities. CSAM expects that substantially all of CGF's assets will be invested
in income-producing securities. Under normal circumstances, CIK invests at least
75% of its assets in fixed-income securities.

      CGF may invest up to 35% of its net assets in the securities of issuers
located in the emerging markets. In February 2001, the Board of Directors of CIK
adopted this non-fundamental investment policy after determining that it could
enhance CIK's ability to achieve its investment objective.

      Neither Funds' investments are subject to a rating quality limitation.
Accordingly, each may invest a substantial portion of its assets in securities
rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized rating service or
unrated but in CSAM's opinion of comparable quality.





Recent Repositioning of CIK and CGF's Investment Portfolio

      CIK historically has pursued its investment objective by investing
principally in high yield fixed income securities of domestic issuers, while
investing a relatively small percentage of its net assets in investment-grade
debt securities (approximately 15% before the recent portfolio repositioning).
CGF has pursued its investment objective by investing not less than 65% of its
net assets in domestic high yield securities, and up to 35% of its net assets in
emerging markets debt. In February 2001, the Board of Directors of CIK adopted a
policy with respect to investments in emerging market debt similar to that of
CGF and accepted a recommendation from the investment advisor to partially
reposition its portfolio. As a result, CIK has liquidated its investment-grade
debt securities portfolio and re-deployed those assets (up to 15% of the Fund's
net assets) in emerging market debt securities. In addition, following a
recommendation by the investment advisor, CGF has reduced the percentage of its
net assets invested in emerging markets debt to 15% from approximately 35%.

      The decision to reposition CIK's portfolio was based on a number of
considerations, including CSAM's advice to the CIK Board that:

            o     during the last several years emerging markets debt has
                  matured considerably as a separate asset class,

            o     emerging markets debt is generally not highly correlated with
                  domestic high yield debt and thus under current market
                  conditions the combination of the two Funds should result in a
                  less volatile portfolio than one investing solely in domestic
                  high yield securities, and

            o     the repositioning should enhance the overall yield on CIK's
                  portfolio, and thus enable the Board to give consideration to
                  an increase in CIK's dividend rate at some point in the
                  future.

      The decision to increase CGF's exposure to U.S. high yield fixed-income
securities was based on CSAM's advice to the CGF Board that the spreads over
investment grade debt afforded by emerging market debt have narrowed, while at
present comparable spreads for domestic high yield fixed income securities have
remained high.

      The repositioning and the Reorganization are separate transactions and
none is conditional upon the other. The repositioning was completed in March
2001 and, as a result, the Funds now have a substantially similar
investment mix, which may be expected to facilitate the completion of the
Reorganization: approximately 85% of their respective nets assets is invested
in U.S. high yield fixed-income securities and 15% is invested in
fixed-income securities of issuers located in the emerging markets.

      For a more detailed description of each Fund's investment portfolio, see
"Proposal 1 (Both Funds): Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
pursuant to which CIK Will Acquire All the Assets and Liabilities of CGF --
Comparison of Investment Objectives and Policies" in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.

Investment Techniques

      U.S. Fixed-Income Securities

      High Yield Fixed-Income Securities. The Funds invest primarily in
higher yielding, lower rated U.S. corporate fixed income securities,
including debt securities, convertible securities and preferred stocks. They
may also invest in securities rated single A or higher by Moody's or by
Standard & Poor's and unrated corporate fixed-income securities when CSAM
determines that such securities are offering high yields in relation to risk
due to current market or other conditions. CIK historically invested a small
percentage of its net assets in investment-grade rated debt securities (not
in excess of approximately 15% of net assets



                                      -2-



during the two years ending December 31, 2000). CGF has focused almost
exclusively on below-investment grade debt securities. CSAM expects that the
Surviving Fund will continue this focus for the foreseeable future.

      Differing yields on fixed-income securities of the same maturity are a
function of several factors, including the relative financial strength of the
issuers. Higher yields are generally available from securities in the lower
categories of recognized rating agencies, i.e., Baa or lower by Moody's or BBB
or lower by Standard & Poor's. The Funds may invest in any security which is
rated by Moody's or by Standard & Poor's or in any unrated security which CSAM
determines is of suitable quality. However, substantially all of the securities
in which the Funds invest will be in the lower-rated categories. Lower-rated
securities generally provide yields superior to those of more highly-rated
securities, but involve greater risks and are speculative in nature. Securities
in the rating categories below Baa as determined by Moody's and BBB as
determined by Standard & Poor's are considered to be of poor standing and
predominantly speculative. The rating services' descriptions of these rating
categories, including the speculating characteristics of the lower categories,
are set forth in Appendix A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

      Securities ratings are based largely on the issuer's historical financial
information and the rating agencies' investment analysis at the time of rating.
Consequently, the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily
a reflection of the issuer's current financial condition, which may be better or
worse than the rating would indicate. Although CSAM considers security ratings
when making investment decisions for high yield securities, it performs its own
investment analysis and does not rely principally on the ratings assigned by the
rating services. CSAM's analysis may include consideration of the issuer's
experience and managerial strength, changing financial condition, borrowing
requirements or debt maturity schedules, and its responsiveness to changes in
business conditions and interest rates. It also considers relative values based
on anticipated cash flow, interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage and
earnings prospects.

      CSAM bases its investment decisions in high yield securities on the
results of issuer and security-specific credit analysis. CSAM evaluates each
issuer's rating, cash flow, financial structure and business risk. CSAM takes
into account, among other things, the issuer's financial resources, its
sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, its operating history, the
quality of the issuer's management and regulatory matters. CSAM evaluates the
covenants of each security and pursues a strategy of broad issuer and industry
diversification.

      U.S. Government Fixed-Income Securities. The Funds may invest in U.S.
government securities and may engage in options, futures contracts and
repurchase transactions with respect to such securities. U.S. government
securities refers to debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, by various of its agencies, or by various instrumentalities
established or sponsored by the U.S. government. These securities may or may not
be supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

      Depending on market conditions, the Funds may invest a substantial portion
of their assets in mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are
collateralized by mortgages or interests in mortgages and may be issued by
government or non-government entities. Mortgage-backed securities issued by
government entities typically provide a monthly payment consisting of interest
and principal payments, and additional payments will be made out of unscheduled
payments of principal. Non-government issued mortgage-backed securities may
offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but may be subject
to greater price fluctuations.

      Mortgage securities that are government securities include the securities
of GNMA, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), and Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA").


                                      -3-



Each of these agencies issue mortgage pass-through securities. Pass-through
securities are bonds backed by pools of mortgages. These securities include
mortgage pass-through Certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations,
including real estate investment conduits as authorized under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("CMO's"), and mortgage-backed bonds.
Mortgage-related securities may also be issued by financial institutions such as
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers and securities
broker-dealers (or separate trusts or affiliates of such institutions
established to issue the securities), with the underlying securities being U.S.
Government securities or non-U.S. government issued securities. Mortgage-related
securities issued by financial institutions (or separate trusts or affiliates of
such institutions), even where backed by U.S. Government securities, are not
considered U.S. Government securities and have a different set of risks and
features.

      Interests in pools of mortgage-related securities differ from other forms
of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in
fixed amounts and principal payments at maturity or specified call dates.
Instead, mortgage-related securities provide a "pass-through" of monthly
payments of interest and principal made by the borrowers on their residential
mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of such
securities. Additional payments are caused by repayments of principal resulting
from the sale of the underlying residential property, refinancing or
foreclosure, net of fees or costs which may be incurred. Some mortgage-related
securities (such as securities issued by GNMA) are described as "modified
pass-through." These securities entitle the holder to receive timely payment of
all interest and principal payments owed on the mortgages in the pool, net of
certain fees, regardless of whether or not the mortgagors actually make the
payments.

      A CMO series is made up of a group of bonds that together are fully
collateralized directly or indirectly by a pool of mortgages on which the
payments of principal and interest are dedicated to payment of principal and
interest on the bonds in the series. Each class of bonds in the series may have
a different maturity than the other classes of bonds in the series, bear a
different coupon and have a different priority in receiving payments. The
different maturities come from the fact that all principal payments, both
regular principal payments as well as any prepayment of principal, are passed
through first to the holders of the class with the shortest maturity until it is
completely retired. Thereafter, principal payments are passed through to the
next class of bonds in the series, until all the classes have been paid off. As
a result, an acceleration in the rate of prepayments that may be associated with
declining interest rates shortens the expected life of each class, with the
greatest impact on those classes with the shortest maturities. Similarly, should
the rate of prepayments slow down, as may happen in times of rising interest
rates, the expected life of each class lengthens, again with the greatest impact
on those classes with the shortest maturities. In the case of some CMO series,
each class may receive a differing proportion of the monthly interest and
principal repayments on the underlying collateral. In these series, the classes
having proportionally greater interests in principal repayments generally would
be more affected by an acceleration (or slowing) in the rate of prepayments.
Mortgage-backed bonds are general obligations of the issuer fully collateralized
directly or indirectly by a pool of mortgages. The mortgages serve as collateral
for the issuer's payment obligations on the bonds, but interest and principal
payments on the mortgages are not passed through either directly (as with
mortgage pass-through certificates) or on a modified basis (as with CMO's).
Accordingly, a change in the rate of prepayments on the pool of mortgages could
change the effective maturity of a CMO but not that of a mortgage-backed bond
(although, like many bonds, mortgage-backed bonds can provide that they are
callable by the issuer prior to maturity).

      To the extent that the Funds invest in the mortgage market, CSAM evaluates
relevant economic, environmental and security-specific variables such as housing
starts, coupon and age trends.



                                      -4-



      Non U.S. Dollar Denominated Fixed-Income Securities; Fixed-Income
Securities of Foreign Issuers

      CGF invests in debt obligations and other fixed income securities
denominated in U.S. dollars, non-U.S. currencies or composite currencies
including:

            o     debt obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign national,
                  provincial, state, municipal or other governments with taxing
                  authority or by their agencies or instrumentalities

            o     debt obligations of supranational entities

            o     debt obligations of the U.S. government issued in non-dollar
                  denominated securities

            o     dollar and non-dollar denominated debt obligations and other
                  fixed-income securities of foreign and U.S. corporate issuers

      Each Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in the securities of
issuers located in the emerging markets. CIK has a fundamental policy not to
invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities denominated
in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. As CGF's investments in the securities
of issuers located in the emerging markets consist predominantly of U.S.
dollar-denominated fixed-income securities, CSAM does not expect that this
policy will impair to any material extent CIK's ability to invest in those
markets going forward.

      In making these investments CSAM considers the relative growth and
inflation rates of different countries. CSAM considers expected changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, including the prospects for central bank
intervention, in determining the anticipated returns of securities denominated
in foreign currencies. CSAM further evaluates, among other things, foreign yield
curves and regulatory and political factors, including the fiscal and monetary
policies of such countries.

      In the past, during periods of falling U.S. exchange rates, yields
available from securities denominated in foreign currencies have often been
higher, in U.S. dollar terms, than those of securities denominated in U.S.
dollars. CSAM considers expected changes in foreign currency exchange rates in
determining the anticipated returns of securities denominated in foreign
currencies. The obligations of foreign governmental entities, including
supranational issuers, have various kinds of government support. Obligations of
foreign governmental entities include obligations issued or guaranteed by
national, provincial, state or other governments with taxing power or by their
agencies. These obligations may or may not be supported by the full faith and
credit of a foreign government.

Other Investment Techniques

      To enhance return as market opportunities arise, the Funds may use the
following investment techniques.

      Repurchase Agreements

      The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
government securities, certificates of deposit and certain bankers' acceptances
for the purpose of realizing additional income. Repurchase agreements are
transactions by which the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commits
to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed
upon price on an



                                      -5-



agreed upon date (usually within seven days of purchase). The resale price
reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon market rate of interest that is
unrelated to the coupon rate or date of maturity of the purchased security. Use
of repurchase agreements can permit the Funds to keep their assets at work while
retaining short-term flexibility in pursuit of investments of a longer-term
nature. CSAM will continually monitor the value of the underlying securities to
ensure that their value always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

      Securities Lending

      The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to banks, brokers, dealers
and other financial institutions who may need to borrow securities in order to
complete certain transactions, such as covering short sales, avoiding failures
to deliver securities or completing arbitrage operations. By lending their
portfolio securities, the Funds attempt to increase their income through the
receipt of interest on the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the
securities lent that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the
account of the Funds.

      The Funds may lend their portfolio securities so long as the terms and the
structure of such loans are not inconsistent with the Investment Company Act or
the rules and regulations or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Funds will not lend portfolio securities if, as a result, the
aggregate of such loans exceeds 33-1/3% of the value of their total assets. Loan
arrangements made by the Funds will comply with all other applicable regulatory
requirements, including, if applicable, those of the rules of the NYSE.

      CSAM will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the
creditworthiness of the borrower, in making decisions about the lending of
securities, subject to review by the board of directors of the lending Fund. The
creditworthiness of such bank, broker, dealer or other financial institution
will be monitored by CSAM during the time any securities are loaned. Voting
rights, if any, may pass with the loaned securities. If a material event were to
occur affecting an investment on loan, however, the loan must be called and the
securities voted by the Fund.

      Short Sales

      Each Fund may engage in short sales (the sale of a security that it does
not own), but only when it ows an equal amount of such securities or securities
convertible into or exchangeable, without payment of further consideration, for
securities of the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold
short ("short sales against the box"), and only if not more than 5% of the
Fund's net assets is held as collateral for the sales of such Fund at any one
time.

      Options on U.S. Government Securities

      The Funds may seek to increase their current income by writing covered
call or put options with respect to some or all of the U.S. government
securities held in their portfolios. In addition, the Funds may at times,
through the writing and purchase of options on U.S. government securities, seek
to reduce fluctuations in net asset value by hedging against a decline in the
value of their U.S. government securities or an increase in the price of
securities which the Funds plan to purchase.

      Significant option writing opportunities generally exist only with respect
to longer term U.S. government securities. The Funds may only write covered
options, which means that, so long as the Funds are obligated as the writer of a
call option, they will own the underlying securities subject to the option (or
comparable securities satisfying the cover requirements of securities
exchanges). In the case of put options, the Funds will maintain short term U.S.
government securities with a value equal to or



                                      -6-



greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities. The Funds may also
write combinations of covered puts and calls on the same security.

      The Funds receive a premium from writing a put or call option, which
increases return on the underlying security in the event the option expires
unexercised or is closed out at a profit. The amount of premium reflects, among
other things, the relationship of the market price of the underlying security to
the exercise price of the option and the remaining term of the option. The Funds
may terminate an option that they have written prior to its expiration by
entering into a closing purchase transaction in which they purchase an option
having the same terms as the option written. The Funds realize a profit or loss
from a transaction if the cost of the transaction is less or more than the
premium received from writing the option. Because increases in the market price
of a call option generally reflect increases in the market price of the
underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option may
be offset in whole or in part by unrealized appreciation of the underlying
security.

      The Funds may purchase put options on U.S. government securities to
protect their portfolio holdings in an underlying security against a substantial
decline in market value. Such hedge protection is provided during the life of
the put option since the Funds, as holders of the put option, are able to sell
the underlying security at the put exercise price regardless of any decline in
the underlying security's market price. In order for a put option to be
profitable, the market price of the underlying security must decline
sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction
costs.

      The Funds may purchase call options on U.S. government securities to hedge
against an increase in prices of securities that the Funds ultimately want to
buy. Such hedge protection is provided during the life of the call option since
the Funds, as holders of the option, are able to buy the underlying security at
the exercise price regardless of any increase in such security's market price.
In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying
security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium
and transaction costs.

      Neither Fund will purchase put and call options if as a result more than
5% of the value of its total assets would at the time be invested in such
options.

      Interest Rate Futures and Related Options

      The Funds may enter into interest rate futures contracts to purchase or
sell U.S. government securities or other interest rate-sensitive instruments and
options thereon that are traded on U.S. futures exchanges. When the Funds
attempt to hedge their portfolio by selling an interest rate futures contract,
purchasing a put option thereon, or writing a call option thereon, they will own
an amount of U.S. government securities corresponding to the open futures or
option position thereby ensuring that the position is unleveraged. The Funds
only intend to engage in futures contracts or options for bona fide hedging
purposes. In accordance with the current rules of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, neither Fund will enter into any interest rate futures contract or
option thereon if, immediately thereafter, the aggregate initial margin and
premiums paid for all existing futures contracts and options thereon not entered
into for bona fide hedging purposes would exceed 5% of its total assets.
Positions in interest rate futures contracts may be closed out only on the
exchange where the contract was made (or on a linked exchange). The Funds intend
to purchase or sell interest rate futures contracts only on exchanges, boards of
trade or trading facilities where there appears to be an active market for such
contracts.

      Interest rate futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to
take and the seller to make delivery at a future date of a specified quantity of
the underlying financial instrument. However, some interest rate futures
contracts provide for settlement in cash rather than by delivery of the
securities underlying the contract. Interest rate futures contracts are
currently available on several types of fixed



                                      -7-



income securities, including U.S. Treasury Bonds, U.S. Treasury Notes and GNMA
securities on The Chicago Board of Trade, and on U.S. Treasury Bills on the
International Monetary Market Division of The Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

      A call option for a futures contract gives the purchaser, in return for a
premium paid, the right to buy the futures contract underlying the option at a
specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer
of the call option, who receives the premium, has the obligation, upon exercise
of the option, to deliver the underlying futures contract against payment of the
exercise price. A put option for a futures contract gives the purchaser, in
return for a premium, the right to sell the underlying futures contract at a
specified price during the term of the option. The writer of the put, who
receives the premium, has the obligation to buy the underlying futures contract
upon demand at the exercise price.

      In contrast to the purchase or sale of a security, the full purchase price
of the futures contract is not paid or received by the Funds upon its purchase
or sale. Instead, the Funds will deposit in a segregated custodial account as
initial margin an amount of cash or U.S. Treasury bills equal to approximately
5% of the value of the contract. This amount is known as initial margin. The
nature of initial margin in futures transactions is different from that of
margin in security transactions in that futures contract margin does not involve
the borrowing of funds by the customer to finance the transactions. Rather, the
initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on
the contract which is returned to the Funds upon termination of the futures
contract assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent
payments to and from the broker, called variation margin, will be made on a
daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long
and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process
known as "mark to the market." For example, when the Funds have purchased an
interest rate futures contract and the price of the underlying security has
risen, that position will have increased in value and the Funds will receive
from the broker a variation margin payment equal to that increase in value.
Conversely, where the Funds have purchased an interest rate futures contract and
the price of the underlying security has declined, the position would be less
valuable and the Funds would be required to make a variation margin payment to
the broker. At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Funds
may elect to terminate the position by taking an opposite position. A final
determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to
be paid by or released to the Funds, and the Funds realize a loss or gain. No
assurance can be given that the Funds will be able to take an opposite position.

      The purpose of selling an interest rate futures contract is to protect a
portfolio from fluctuations in asset value resulting from interest rate changes.
Selling a futures contract has an effect similar to selling portfolio
securities. If interest rates were to increase, the value of the securities in
the portfolio would decline, but the value of the Funds' futures contracts would
increase, thereby keeping the net asset value of the Funds from declining as
much as it otherwise might have. In this way, selling futures contracts acts as
a hedge against the effects of rising interest rates. However, a decline in
interest rates resulting in an increase in the value of portfolio securities
tends to be offset by a decrease in the value of the corresponding futures
contracts.

      Similarly, when interest rates are expected to decline, futures contracts
may be purchased to hedge against anticipated subsequent purchases of portfolio
securities at higher prices. By buying futures, the Funds could effectively
hedge against an increase in the price of the securities it intends to purchase
at a later date in order to permit the purchase to be effected in an orderly
manner. At that time, the futures contracts could be liquidated at a profit if
rates had in fact declined as expected, and the Funds' cash position could be
used to purchase securities.

      Although most interest rate futures contracts call for making or taking
delivery of the underlying securities, these obligations are typically canceled
or closed out before the scheduled settlement date. The



                                      -8-



closing is accomplished by purchasing (or selling) an identical futures contract
to offset a short (or long) position. Such an offsetting transaction cancels the
contractual obligations established by the original futures transaction. If the
price of an offsetting futures transaction varies from the price of the original
futures transaction, the Funds will realize a gain or loss corresponding to the
difference. That gain or loss will tend to offset the unrealized loss or gain on
the hedged securities transaction, but may not always or completely do so.

      The selection of futures and options strategies requires skills different
from those needed to select portfolio securities; however, CSAM does have
experience in the use of futures and options.

      Restricted and Illiquid Securities

      Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities that are
not readily marketable. These include securities which are not registered under
the Securities Act and not publicly traded. Restricted and illiquid securities
are purchased in placements from the issuer or in the secondary market. The
purchase of these securities will depend on their relative attractiveness as
compared to securities that have been publicly offered.

      Restricted and illiquid securities have frequently resulted in higher
yields and restrictive covenants providing greater protection for the purchaser,
such as longer call or refunding protection, than typically would be available
with publicly offered securities of the same type. An issuer is often willing to
create more attractive features in its securities issued privately, because it
has avoided the expense and delay involved in a public offering of its
securities. For various reasons, an issuer may prefer or be required as a
practical matter to obtain private financing. At certain times adverse
conditions in the public securities markets may preclude a public offering of an
issuer's securities.

      These securities can only be resold to certain categories of purchasers,
including qualified institutional buyers, and are usually considered less liquid
than publicly-traded securities, which means that the Funds may take longer to
liquidate them than would be the case for publicly-traded securities.

      Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions

      The Funds may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions to protect
against changes in future exchange rates. The Funds will only engage in foreign
currency exchange transactions for transaction hedging (in connection with the
purchase or sale of portfolio securities) or position hedging (to protect the
value of a specific portfolio position). The Funds may engage in U.S.
dollar-denominated or non-U.S. dollar denominated hedging. The Funds' ability to
engage in hedging and related option transactions may be limited by tax
considerations. See "Taxation" below.

      The Funds may engage in "transaction hedging" to protect against a change
in the foreign currency exchange rate between the date on which it contracts to
purchase or sell the security and the settlement date, or to "lock in" the U.S.
dollar equivalent of a dividend or interest payment in a foreign currency. For
that purpose, the Funds may purchase or sell a foreign currency on a spot (or
cash) basis at the prevailing spot rate in connection with the settlement of
transactions in portfolio securities denominated in that foreign currency. The
Funds may also enter into forward currency exchange contracts and purchase
exchange-listed and over-the-counter call and put options on foreign currency
futures contracts and on foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract
is a negotiated agreement to exchange currency at a future time at a rate or
rates that may be higher or lower than the spot rate. Foreign currency futures
contracts are standardized exchange-traded contracts and have margin
requirements.



                                      -9-




      For transaction hedging purposes, the Funds may also purchase
exchange-listed and over-the-counter call and put options on foreign currency
futures contracts and on foreign currencies. A put option on a futures contract
gives the Funds the right to assume a short position in the futures contract
until expiration of the option. A put option on currency gives the Funds the
right to sell a currency at an exercise price until the expiration of the
option. A call option on a futures contract gives the Funds the right to assume
a long position in the futures contract until the expiration of the option. A
call option on currency gives the Funds the right to purchase a currency at the
exercise price until the expiration of the option.

      The Funds may engage in "position hedging" to protect against the decline
in the value relative the U.S. dollar of the currencies in which its portfolio
securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of currency
for securities which the portfolio intends to buy, when it holds cash reserves
and short term investments). For position hedging purposes the Funds may
purchase or sell foreign currency futures contracts and foreign currency forward
contracts, and may purchase put or call options on foreign currency futures
contracts and on foreign currencies on exchanges or over-the-counter markets. In
connection with position hedging, the Funds may also purchase or sell foreign
currency on a spot basis.

      Hedging transactions involves costs and may result in losses. The Funds
may write covered call options on foreign currencies to offset some of the costs
of hedging those currencies. They simply establish a rate of exchange that one
can achieve at some future point in time. The Funds engage in over-the-counter
transactions only when appropriate exchange-traded transactions are unavailable
and when, in the opinion of CSAM, the pricing mechanism and liquidity are
satisfactory and the participants are responsible parties likely to meet their
contractual obligations.

      Positions in foreign currency futures contracts may be closed out only on
an exchange or board of trade that provides a secondary market in such
contracts. The Funds intend to purchase or sell foreign currency futures
contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade where there appears to be an
active secondary market.

      The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (an
obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date) solely for
hedging or other appropriate risk management purposes as defined in regulations
of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

      The Funds may also write or purchase options on foreign currencies. Such
options are purchased or written only when CSAM believes that a liquid secondary
market exists for such options. There can be no assurance that a liquid
secondary market will exist for a particular option at any specific time. If the
Funds sell call options on foreign currencies, they may cover by holding that
currency or by holding a separate call option on the currency with a strike
price no higher than that of the call option sold.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

      Each Fund is subject to fundamental investment restrictions that may not
be changed without the approval of at least a majority of its outstanding voting
securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act
defines a "majority" as the lesser of (1) 67% of the shares represented at a
meeting of which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person
or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares.
Following is a description of each Fund's current fundamental investment
restrictions:

      1.    Neither Fund may invest more than 5% of the value of its total
            assets in the securities of any one issuer, excluding obligations of

percentages resulting from changing values will not be considered a violation.

      Under the Investment Company Act, the Funds may neither invest more than
5% of their total assets in the securities of any one investment company, nor
acquire more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of any such investment
company. In addition, the Funds may not invest more than 10% of their total
assets in securities issued by all investment companies. As a shareholder in any
investment company, a Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment
company's expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the advisory,
sub-advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested.

Advisory Arrangements

      CSAM serves as the investment adviser to both Funds pursuant to advisory
agreements with each Fund (the "Advisory Agreements"). Each Advisory Agreement
provides that the Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the
matters to which the Advisory Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a
breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for
services (in which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and
the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the Investment Company Act) or a
loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the
part of CSAM in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

      The table below sets forth the investment advisory fees earned by CSAM for
each Fund for the last three fiscal years.

Administrative Arrangements

      Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. ("BBH") is the Funds' administrator. The
services provided by BBH under its Administration Agreement with the Funds are
subject to the supervision of the directors and officers, and include day to day
administration of matters related to its corporate existence, maintenance of its
records, preparation of reports and supervision of arrangements with custodians
and the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

      The following table sets forth the amounts paid by each Fund as
administrative fees for the last three fiscal years.

Custodian

      BBH acts as custodian under a Custodian Agreement dated February 27, 1999.

      Foreign securities are held by certain foreign banks and securities
depositories which have been approved by the board of directors upon the
recommendation of BBH, in accordance with Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act as
currently in effect. Approval of a foreign subcustodian is made by the board
following a consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to,
the reliability and financial stability of the institution; the ability of the
institution to perform capably custodial services; the reputation of the
institution in its national market; the political and economic stability of the
country or countries in which the subcustodian will be located; and the risk of
potential nationalization or expropriation of the assets.

      For additional information about the Funds' custodian, transfer agent and
registrar, see "Proposal 1 (Both Funds): Approval of the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization pursuant to which CIK Will Acquire All the Assets and Liabilities
of CGF--Management of the Funds" in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For

Duration and Termination; Non-Exclusive Services

      The Advisory Agreements became effective on June 13, 1995 and were amended
to reflect changes in the name and address of the respective parties thereto in
February 2001. Unless earlier terminated as described below, each Advisory
Agreement remains in effect if approved annually (a) by the board of directors
or by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined
in the Investment Company Act) and (b) by a majority of the directors who are
not parties to the Advisory Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the
1940 Act) of any such party. Each Advisory Agreement terminates on its
assignment by any party and may be terminated without penalty on 60 days'
written notice at the option of the board of directors or by the vote of the
majority of the holders of the shares, or upon 90 days' written notice, by CSAM.
The Administration Agreement is terminable upon 60 days' notice by either party.

      The services of CSAM and BBH are not deemed to be exclusive, and nothing
in the relevant service agreements will prevent any of them or their affiliates
from providing similar services to other investment companies and other clients
(whether or not such clients' investment objectives and policies are similar to
those of the Funds) or from engaging in other activities.

Code of Ethics

      Each Fund and CSAM have adopted a written Code of Ethics, which permits
personnel covered by the Code of Ethics ("Covered Persons") to invest in
securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the respective
Fund. The Code of Ethics also contains provisions designed to address the
conflicts of interest that could arise from personal trading by advisory
personnel, including: (1) all Covered Persons must report their personal
securities transactions at the end of each quarter; (2) with certain limited
exceptions, all Covered Persons must obtain preclearance before executing any
personal securities transactions; (3) Covered Persons may not execute personal
trades in a security if there are any pending orders in that security by the
respective Fund; and (4) Covered Persons may not invest in initial public
offerings.

      The Board of Directors of each Fund reviews the administration of the Code
of Ethics at least annually and may impose sanctions for violations of the Code
of Ethics.

      Each Fund's Code of Ethics can be reviewed and copied at the Securities
and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information
on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the
Securities and Exchange Commission at (202) 942-8090. Each Fund's Code of Ethics
is also available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Internet site at http:/www.sec.gov. Copies of each Fund's Code of
Ethics may be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at
the following E-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the Securities
and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C.,
20549-0102.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

      Decisions to buy and sell securities for a Fund are made by CSAM, subject
to the overall review of the board of directors of such Fund. Portfolio
securities transactions are placed on behalf of the Funds by persons authorized
by CSAM. CSAM manages other investment companies and accounts that invest in
fixed-income securities. Although investment decisions for the Funds are made
independently from those of these other accounts, CSAM may make investments of
the type the Funds make on behalf of these other accounts. When the Funds and
one or more other accounts is prepared to invest in, or desires to dispose of,
the same security, CSAM will allocate available investments or opportunities for
each in a



                                      -15-



manner believed by CSAM to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure
may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Funds or the size of the
position it obtains or disposes of. The Funds may utilize CS First Boston
Corporation and other affiliates of Credit Suisse in connection with the
purchase or sale of securities in accordance with rules or exemptive orders
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission when CSAM believes that the
charge for the transaction does not exceed usual and customary levels.

      Transactions on U.S. and some foreign stock exchanges involve the payment
of negotiated brokerage commissions, which may vary among different brokers. The
cost of securities purchased from underwriters includes an underwriter's
commission or concession, and the prices at which securities are purchased from
and sold to dealers in the over-the-counter markets include a dealer's mark-up
or mark-down, which normally is not disclosed. Fixed-income securities are
generally traded on a "net" basis with dealers acting as principal for their own
accounts without a stated commission, although the price of the security will
likely include a profit to the dealer.

      In selecting brokers or dealers to execute portfolio transactions on
behalf of the Funds, CSAM will seek the best overall terms available. In
addition, unless otherwise directed by the board of directors, the Advisory
Agreement authorizes CSAM, in selecting brokers or dealers to execute a
particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to
consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in
Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and cause the Funds to pay
a broker-dealer which furnishes such services a higher commission than that
which might be charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same
transaction, provided that such commission is deemed reasonable in terms of
either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of CSAM to
the Funds. The fees payable under the Advisory Agreement are not reduced as a
result of CSAM's receiving such brokerage and research services.

      Currently, it is the Funds' policy that CSAM may at times pay higher
commissions than might otherwise be obtainable in recognition of brokerage
services felt necessary for the achievement of best available price and most
favorable execution of certain securities transactions. CSAM will only pay such
higher commissions if it believes this to be in the best interest of the Funds.
Some brokers or dealers who may receive such higher commissions in recognition
of brokerage services related to execution of securities transactions are also
providers of research information to CSAM and/or the Funds. Subject to the
primary objective set forth above, CSAM has informed the Funds that they may pay
higher commission rates specifically for the purpose of obtaining research
services. The Funds will not pay to any affiliate of CSAM a higher commission
rate specifically for the purpose of obtaining research services.

      The Funds paid no brokerage commissions in any of the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

                  DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN

      Each Fund distributes monthly to shareholders substantially all of its net
investment income. Net short-term capital gains, if any, are distributed
annually. The board of each Fund intend to distribute annually any net long-term
realized capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net
short-term capital losses). See "Taxation."

      You may elect to have all dividends and distributions, net of any U.S.
withholding tax, automatically reinvested in additional shares through the
Fund's "InvestLink"(SM)- Program. Fleet National Bank, c/o EquiServe, L.O., is
the program administrator for the "InvestLink"(SM)- Program. "InvestLink"(SM) is
a service mark of EquiServe, L.P.



                                      -16-



Purpose of the Investlink(SM) Program

      The purpose of the "InvestLink"(SM)- Program is to provide you with a
simple and convenient way to invest funds and reinvest dividends in shares of
the Funds stock at prevailing prices, with reduced brokerage commissions and
fees.

Eligibility and Participation

      You may join the program at any time by completing and signing the
enrollment form and returning it to Fleet National Bank, c/o EquiServe, L.P..
Enrollment forms may be obtained at any time by calling the program
administrator at one of the telephone numbers listed below:

            -      First Time Investors - 1-888-697-8026 (CIK)
                                          1-800-523-8506 (CGF)

            -      Current Shareholders - 1-800-730-6001

      Beneficial owners whose shares are registered in the name of a bank,
broker or other nominee ("street names") must make arrangements with such bank,
broker or nominee to have the shares transferred into their own names if they
wish to have dividends on such shares paid to the program administrator pursuant
to the program.

      Purchases of shares with funds from your cash payment will begin on the
next investment date, provided that the payment is received at least two
business days prior ("cash cut-off date"). Automatic account deduction will
begin on the next debit date, provided the automatic deduction request was
received during the month prior. If you select the dividend reinvestment option,
automatic investment of dividends will begin with the next dividend payable
after the program administrator receives your enrollment form, provided it is
received prior to the dividend record date. If your enrollment form arrives
after the record date, automatic investment of dividends will begin with the
following dividend. Once in the program, you will remain a participant until you
terminate your participation or sell all shares held in your program account, or
your account is terminated by the program administrator.

Program Options

      The program offers various investment options, as outlined below:

            o     "Automatic Bank Account Deduction": Funds in the amount you
                  specify, with a minimum of $100.00, will be debited from your
                  bank account each month on the 20th or next business day. The
                  program administrator will invest such funds on the first
                  Wednesday, or next business day, of the month following to
                  purchase additional shares of the Funds.

            o     "Full Dividend Reinvestment": The program administrator will
                  receive all cash dividends payable on shares held in your
                  program account and on any other shares registered in your
                  name. In addition, the program administrator will invest in
                  shares of the Funds all of your cash dividends on all of the
                  shares then or subsequently registered in your name or held in
                  your program account. You will have the ability to send in
                  optional cash payments that will be invested weekly.

            o     "Partial Dividend Reinvestment": The program administrator
                  will receive a portion of cash dividends payable on shares
                  held in your program account and



                                      -17-



                  on any other shares of the Funds registered in your name. In
                  addition, the program administrator will invest that portion
                  of cash dividends on shares held in your program account and
                  any other shares of the Funds registered in your name. You
                  will have the ability to send in optional cash payments that
                  will be invested weekly.

            o     "Cash Investments": The program administrator will not invest
                  any portion of cash dividends due you on shares held in your
                  program account or on shares registered in your name. You will
                  have the ability to send in optional cash payments that will
                  be invested weekly.

      You may change your investment options at any time by requesting a new
authorization form and returning it to the program administrator. The program
administrator must receive notice on or before the record date preceding a
dividend payment date in order for a change in your dividend reinvestment option
to be effective for that dividend.

assessed the following charges:

            o     First-time investors will be subject to an initial service
                  charge of $10.00 which will be deducted from the initial cash
                  deposit.

                  assessed per share processing fees which include brokerage
                  commissions.

Purchase of the Funds' shares

      The program administrator uses dividends and funds of participants to
purchase shares of the Funds' common stock in the open market. Such purchases
will be made by participating brokers as agent for the participants. Dividends
will be invested on the 15th of each month or next business day. Optional cash
payments will be invested weekly on Wednesday except in dividend paying weeks.
On those weeks, the optional cash will be invested with the dividend.
Transaction processing will generally occur within 30 days of the receipt of
funds. In the event the program administrator is unable to purchase shares
within 30 days of the receipt of funds, such funds will be returned to you.

      Shares offered under the program to participants in certain jurisdictions
may be offered only through broker-dealers registered in these jurisdictions.

      The weighted average price of all shares purchased by the program
administrator with all funds received during the time period from two business
days preceding any investment date up to the second business day preceding the
next investment date shall be the price per share allocable to you in connection
with the shares purchased for your account with your funds or dividends received
by the program



                                      -18-




administrator during such time period. The weighted average price of all shares
sold by the program administrator pursuant to sell orders received during such
time period shall be the price per share allocable to you in connection with the
shares sold for your account pursuant to your sell orders received by the
program administrator during such time period.

Cash payments and automatic bank account deductions

      If you are not already a registered owner of the Funds' common stock, your
initial investment under the program must be at least $250.00. All other cash
payments or bank account deductions must be at least $100.00, up to a maximum of
$100,000.00 annually.

      The same amount of cash payment need not be sent each month and you are
under no obligation to make a cash payment in any month. The amount of automatic
bank account deduction must be specified by you on the enrollment form and will
continue until changed by you by notifying the program administrator.

Administration

      Fleet National Bank, c/o EquiServe, L.P., as program administrator,
administers the program for participants, keeps records, sends statements of
account to participants and performs other duties relating to the program.
Shares of the Funds' common stock purchased under the program will be registered
in the name of the accounts of the respective participants.

Reports to participants

      Each participant in the program will receive a statement of his or her
account following each purchase of shares. These statements are a record of the
cost of purchase of shares under the program and should be retained for tax
purposes. The statements will also show the amount of dividends credited to such
participant's account (if applicable), as well as the fees paid by the
participant. In addition, each participant will receive copies of the Funds'
annual reports to shareholders, proxy statements and, if applicable, dividend
income information for tax reporting purposes.

Certificates for shares

      Unless requested, the Funds will not issue to participants certificates
for shares of the Funds' common stock purchased under the program. The number of
shares purchased for your account under the program will be shown on your
statement of account. This feature protects against loss, theft or destruction
of stock certificates.

      Certificates for any number of whole shares credited to your account under
the program will be issued to you at no charge upon your written request to
withdraw such shares from your account. Certificates for fractions of shares
will not be issued.

Withdrawal of shares in program accounts

      You may withdraw all or a portion of the shares from your program account
by notifying the program administrator. A withdrawal/termination form is
provided on the account statement for this purpose. This notice should be mailed
to the address on the form.

      Within five business days of receipt of your request, certificates for the
whole shares of the Funds' common stock so withdrawn will be issued to you or,
if you request, the program administrator will sell the shares for you and send
you the proceeds, less applicable brokerage commissions, fees, and



                                      -19-



transfer taxes, if any. Proceeds are normally paid by check and will be
distributed to you within four business days after your shares are sold. In no
case will certificates for fractional shares be issued.

      If you withdraw all full and fractional shares in your program account,
your participation in the program will be terminated by the program
administrator. Also, the program administrator must receive such termination
notice at least seven business days prior to the dividend payment date in order
for you to receive such dividend in cash.

Rights offerings, stock dividends and stock splits

      Participation in any rights offering (including the offer), dividend
distribution or stock split will be based upon both the shares of the Funds
registered in participants' names and the shares (including fractional shares)
credited to participants' program accounts. Any stock dividend or shares
resulting from stock splits with respect to shares of the Funds, both full and
fractional, which participants hold in their program accounts and with respect
to all shares registered in their names will be automatically credited to their
accounts in book-entry form.

Voting of a participant's program shares at a meeting of shareholders

      All shares (including any fractional share) credited to your account under
the program will be voted as you direct. If on the record date for a meeting of
shareholders there are shares credited to your account under the program, you
will be sent the proxy materials for such meeting. When you return an executed
proxy, all of such shares will be voted as indicated. Or, if you so elect, you
may vote all of such shares in person at the shareholders' meeting. If you do
not provide instructions or return an executed proxy, the plan will not vote
your shares.

Federal income tax consequences of participation in the program

      You will receive tax information annually for your personal records and to
help you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of
dividends does not relieve you of any income tax which may be payable on
dividends. For further information as to tax consequences of participation in
the program, participants should consult with their own tax advisors.

Responsibility of the program administrator under the program

      The program administrator in administering the program will not be liable
for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omission to act. However,
the program administrator will be liable for loss or damage due to error caused
by its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Shares held in custody by
the program administrator are not subject to protection under the Securities
Investors Protection Act of 1970. The participant should recognize that neither
the funds nor the program administrator can provide any assurance of a profit or
protection against loss on any shares purchased under the program. While the
program administrator hopes to continue the program indefinitely, the program
administrator reserves the right to suspend or terminate the program at any
time. It also reserves the right to make modifications to the program.
Participants will be notified of any such suspension, termination or
modification. The program administrator also reserves the right to terminate any
participant's participation in the program at any time. Any question of
interpretation arising under the program will be determined by the program
administrator in good faith and any such determination will be final.

                                    TAXATION

      The following is a summary of the material United States federal income
tax considerations regarding the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares.
You are urged to consult your own tax adviser with respect to the specific
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of investing in the Funds.
The summary is based on the laws in effect on the date of this statement of
additional information, which are subject to change.

The Funds and their investments

      Each of the Funds has qualified and continues to qualify to be treated as
a regulated investment company for each taxable year under the Code. To so
qualify, a Fund must, among other things:

      derive at least 90% of its gross income in each taxable year from:

            o     dividends

            o     interest

            o     payments with respect to securities loans

            o     gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or
                  securities or foreign currencies

            o     other income (including, but not limited to, gains from
                  options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to
                  its business of investing in such stock, securities or
                  currencies, and

      diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the taxable
year:

            o     at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's assets is
                  represented by cash, securities of other regulated investment
                  companies, United States government securities and other
                  securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of
                  any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the Funds'
                  assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting
                  securities of such issuer, and

            o     not more than 25% of the value of its assets is invested in
                  the securities (other than United States government securities
                  or securities of other regulated investment companies) of any
                  one issuer or any two or more issuers that the Fund controls
                  and which are determined to be engaged in the same or similar
                  trades or businesses or related trades or businesses.

      As a regulated investment company, a Fund is not subject to United States
federal income tax on its net investment income (i.e., income other than its net
realized long-term and short-term capital gains) and its net realized long-term
and short-term capital gains, if any, that it distributes to its shareholders,
provided that an amount equal to at least 90% of the sum of its investment
company taxable income (i.e., its taxable income minus the excess, if any, of
its net realized long-term capital gains over its net realized short-term
capital losses (including any capital loss carryovers), plus or minus certain
other adjustments specified in section 852 of the Code) and its net tax-exempt
income for the taxable year, if any, is distributed to its shareholders, but is
subject to tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable income or gains that it
does not distribute.



                                      -22-



      The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on a Fund to the extent it
does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least 98% of its net
investment income for that year and 98% of the net amount of its capital gains
(both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending, as a general
rule, on October 31 of that year. For this purpose, however, any income or gain
retained by the Fund that is subject to corporate income tax will be considered
to have been distributed by year-end. In addition, the minimum amounts that must
be distributed in any year to avoid the excise tax will be increased or
decreased to reflect any underdistribution or overdistribution, as the case may
be, from the previous year. The Funds anticipate that they will pay such
dividends and will make such distributions as are necessary in order to avoid
the application of this tax. If, in any taxable year, a Fund fails to qualify as
a regulated investment company under the Code, the Fund would be taxed in the
same manner as an ordinary corporation and distributions to its shareholders
would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. In
addition, in the event of a failure to qualify, a Fund's distributions, to the
extent derived from current or accumulated earnings and profits, would
constitute dividends (eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction)
which are taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income, even though those
distributions might otherwise (at least in part) have been treated as long-term
capital gains when received by its shareholders. If a Fund fails to qualify as a
regulated investment company in any year, it must pay out its earnings and
profits accumulated in that year in order to qualify again as a regulated
investment company. In addition, if a Fund failed to qualify as a regulated
investment company for a period greater than one taxable year, it may be
required to recognize any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its
assets (the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over
aggregate losses that would have been realized if it had been liquidated) in
order to qualify as a regulated investment company in a subsequent year.

      Each of the Funds pays dividends of net investment income monthly and
makes distributions at least annually of any net realized long-term and
short-term capital gains in excess of applicable capital losses, including
capital loss carryforwards. The board of directors of each Fund determines
annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in
excess of its net realized short-term capital losses (including any capital loss
carryovers). Each of the Funds currently expects to distribute any such excess
annually to its shareholders. However, if a Fund retains for investment an
amount equal to all or a portion of its net realized long-term capital gains in
excess of its net realized short-term capital losses and capital loss
carryovers, it will be subject to a corporate tax (currently at a rate of 35%)
on the amount retained. In that event, the Fund expects to designate such
retained amounts as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its shareholders
who (a) will be required to include in income for United States federal income
tax purposes, as long-term capital gains, their proportionate shares of the
undistributed amount, (b) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shares
of the 35% tax paid by the Fund on the undistributed amount against their United
States federal income tax liabilities, if any, and to claim refunds to the
extent their credits exceed their liabilities, if any, and (c) will be entitled
to increase their tax basis, for United States federal income tax purposes, in
their shares by an amount equal to 65% of the amount of undistributed capital
gains included in their income.

      Any dividend declared by the Funds in October, November or December of any
calendar year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such
a month shall be deemed to have been received by each shareholder on December 31
of such calendar year and to have been paid by the Funds not later than such
December 31, provided that such dividends are actually paid by the Funds during
January of the following calendar year.

Dividends and distributions

      If you are a U.S. shareholder, dividends of net investment income and
distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are taxable to you as
ordinary income, whether paid in cash or in shares. Distributions of net
long-term capital gains, if any, that a Fund designates as capital gains
dividends are



                                      -23-



taxable as long-term capital gains, whether paid in cash or in shares and
regardless of how long you have held your shares. Dividends and distributions
paid by a Fund (except for the portion thereof, if any, attributable to
dividends on stock of U.S. corporations received by the Fund) will not qualify
for the deduction for dividends received by corporations. Distributions in
excess of a Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will, as to you,
be treated as a tax-free return of capital, to the extent of your basis in your
shares, and as a capital gain thereafter (if you hold your shares as capital
assets).

      If you receive dividends or distributions in the form of additional shares
pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan you should be
treated for United States federal income tax purposes as receiving a
distribution in the amount equal to the amount of money that shareholders
receiving cash dividends or distributions will receive, and should have a cost
basis in the shares received equal to such amount.

      If you are considering buying shares just prior to a dividend or capital
gain distribution you should be aware that, although the price of shares just
purchased at that time may reflect the amount of the forthcoming distribution,
such dividend or distribution may nevertheless be taxable to you.

      If a Fund is the holder of record of any stock on the record date for any
dividends payable with respect to such stock, such dividends are included in the
Fund's gross income not as of the date received but as of the later of (a) the
date such stock went ex-dividend (i.e., the date on which a buyer of the stock
would not be entitled to receive the declared, but unpaid, dividends) or (b) the
date the Fund acquired such stock. Accordingly, in order to satisfy its income
distribution requirements, a Fund may be required to pay dividends based on
anticipated earnings, and you may receive dividends in an earlier year than
would otherwise be the case.

Sales of shares

      Upon the sale or exchange of your shares, you will realize a taxable gain
or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the basis in
your shares. Such gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss, if the
shares are capital assets in your hands, and will be long-term capital gain or
loss if the shares are held for more than one year and short-term capital gain
or loss if the shares are held for one year or less. Any loss realized on a sale
or exchange will be disallowed to the extent the shares disposed of are
replaced, including replacement through the reinvesting of dividends and capital
gains distributions in the Fund under the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash
Purchase Plan, within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30
days after the disposition of the shares. In such a case, the basis of the
shares acquired will be increased to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss
realized by you on the sale of a share held by you for six months or less will
be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a long-term capital
loss to the extent of any distributions or deemed distributions of long-term
capital gains received by you with respect to such share.

Backup withholding

      If you fail to provide your Fund with your correct taxpayer identification
number or to make required certifications, or have been notified by the Internal
Revenue Service that you are subject to backup withholding, the Fund may be
required to withhold, for United States federal income tax purposes, 31% of the
dividends and distributions payable. Corporate shareholders and certain other
shareholders are or may be exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding is
not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be credited against your
United States federal income tax liabilities. If you are a foreign investor,
additional tax withholding requirements which may apply are discussed below.



                                      -24-



Foreign shareholders

      If you are a foreign investor (such as a nonresident alien individual, a
foreign trust or estate, a foreign corporation or a foreign partnership) under
U.S. laws, taxation depends, in part, on whether your income from the Funds is
"effectively connected" with a United States trade or business carried on by
you.

      If you are not a resident alien and your income from a Fund is not
effectively connected with a United States trade or business carried on by you,
distributions of net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains
will be subject to a 30% (or lower treaty rate) United States withholding tax.
If you are a nonresident alien, distributions of net realized long-term capital
gains, amounts retained by the Funds which are designated as undistributed
capital gains, and gains realized upon the sale of shares of a Fund generally
will not be subject to United States tax unless you are physically present in
the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year and, in the
case of gain realized upon the sale of shares, unless (a) such gain is
attributable to an office or fixed place of business in the United States or (b)
you have a tax home in the United States and such gain is not attributable to an
office or fixed place of business located outside the United States. However, a
determination by a Fund not to distribute long-term capital gains will cause the
Fund to incur a U.S. federal tax liability with respect to retained long-term
capital gains, thereby reducing the amount of cash held by the Funds that is
available for investment, and you may not be able to claim a credit or deduction
with respect to such taxes.

      In general, if you are a resident alien or if dividends or distributions
from a Fund are effectively connected with a United States trade or business
carried on by you, then dividends of net investment income, distributions of net
short-term and long-term capital gains, amounts retained by the Fund that are
designated as undistributed capital gains and any gains realized upon the sale
of shares will be subject to United States income tax at the rates applicable to
United States citizens or domestic corporations. If you are a corporation, and
your income from a Fund is effectively connected with a United States trade or
business, you may also be subject to the 30% (or lower treaty rate) branch
profits tax. If you are entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax
treaty, the tax consequences to you may be different from those described in
this section. You may be required to provide appropriate documentation to
establish your entitlement to the benefits of such a treaty. You are advised to
consult your own tax adviser with respect to (a) whether your income from a Fund
is or is not effectively connected with a United States trade or business
carried on by you, (b) whether you may claim the benefits of an applicable tax
treaty, and (c) any other tax consequences to you of an investment in the Funds.

Notices

      You will be notified annually by each Fund as to the United States federal
income tax status of the dividends, distributions and deemed distributions made
by the Fund to you. Furthermore, you will also receive, if appropriate, various
written notices after the close of the Fund's taxable year regarding the United
States federal income tax status of certain dividends, distributions and deemed
distributions that were paid (or that are treated as having been paid) by the
Funds to you during the preceding taxable year.

      OTHER TAXATION. Distributions also may be subject to additional state,
local and foreign taxes depending on your particular situation.

Fund investments

      Market discount



                                      -25-




      If a Fund purchases a debt security at a price lower than the stated
redemption price of such debt security, the excess of the stated redemption
price over the purchase price is "market discount." If the amount of market
discount is more than a de minimis amount, the Fund must include a portion of
such market discount as ordinary income (not capital gain) in each taxable year
in which the Fund owns an interest in such debt security and receives a
principal payment on it. In particular, the Fund will be required to allocate
that principal payment first to the portion of the market discount on the debt
security that has accrued but has not previously been includable in income. In
general, the amount of market discount that must be included for each period is
equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of market discount accruing during such
period (plus any accrued market discount for prior periods not previously taken
into account) or (ii) the amount of the principal payment with respect to such
period. Generally, market discount accrues on a daily basis for each day the
debt security is held by the Fund at a constant rate over the time remaining to
the debt security's maturity or, at the election of the Fund, at a constant
yield to maturity which takes into account the semi-annual compounding of
interest. Gain realized on the disposition of a market discount obligation must
be recognized as ordinary interest income (not capital gain) to the extent of
the "accrued market discount."

      Original issue discount

      Certain debt securities acquired by a Fund may be treated as debt
securities that were originally issued at a discount. Generally, original issue
discount is defined as the difference between the price at which a security was
issued and its stated redemption price at maturity.

      Although no cash income is actually received by the Fund, original issue
discount that accrues on a debt security in a given year generally is treated
for federal income tax purposes as interest and, therefore, such income would be
subject to the distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment
companies. In order to maintain its status as a regulated investment company,
the Fund could therefore be required to incur debt or to dispose of portfolio
securities to generate cash for distribution. Some debt securities may be
purchased by a Fund at a discount that exceeds the original issue discount on
such debt securities, if any. This additional discount represents market
discount for federal income tax purposes (see above).

      Options, futures and forward contracts

      A Fund's transactions in options and futures contracts will be subject to
special provisions of the Code that, among other things, may affect the
character of gains and losses realized by the Fund (i.e., it may affect whether
gains or losses are ordinary or capital), accelerate recognition of income and
defer losses. These rules could therefore affect the character, amount and
timing of distributions to the Fund's shareholders. These provisions also (a)
will require the Fund to mark-to-market certain types of the positions in its
portfolio (i.e., treat them as if they were closed out) and (b) may cause the
Fund to recognize income without receiving cash to pay dividends or make
distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the distribution requirements for
avoiding income and excise taxes. Each Fund will monitor its transactions, will
make the appropriate tax elections and will make the appropriate entries in its
books and records when it acquires any option, futures contract or hedged
investment in order to mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent its
disqualification as a regulated investment company.

      Any regulated futures contracts and certain options (namely, nonequity
options and dealer equity options) in which a Fund may invest may be "section
1256 contracts." Gains (or losses) on these contracts generally are considered
to be 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses. Also, section
1256 contracts held by a Fund at the end of each taxable year (and on certain
other dates prescribed in the Code) are "marked to market" with the result that
unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized.



                                      -26-



      Transactions in options, futures and forward contracts undertaken by a
Fund may result in "straddles" for federal income tax purposes. The straddle
rules may affect the character of gains (or losses) realized from such
transactions, and losses realized by the Fund on positions that are part of a
straddle may be deferred under the straddle rules, rather than being taken into
account in calculating the taxable income for the taxable year in which the
losses are realized. In addition, certain carrying charges (including interest
expense) associated with positions in a straddle may be required to be
capitalized rather than deducted currently. Certain elections that a Fund may
make with respect to its straddle positions may also affect the amount,
character and timing of the recognition of gains or losses from the affected
positions.

      Because only a few regulations implementing the straddle rules have been
promulgated, the consequences of such transactions to a Fund are not entirely
clear. The straddle rules may increase the amount of short-term capital gain
realized by a Fund, which is taxed as ordinary income when distributed to its
shareholders. Because application of the straddle rules may affect the character
of gains or losses, defer losses and/or accelerate the recognition of gains or
losses from the affected straddle positions, the amount which must be
distributed to you as ordinary income or long-term capital gain may be increased
or decreased substantially as compared to a fund that did not engage in such
transactions.

      Constructive sales

      Under certain circumstances, a Fund may recognize gain from a constructive
sale of an "appreciated financial position" it holds if it enters into a short
sale, forward contract or other transaction that substantially reduces the risk
of loss with respect to the appreciated position. In that event, the Fund would
be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and would
be taxed on any gain (but not loss) from the constructive sale. The character of
gain from a constructive sale would depend upon the Fund's holding period in the
property. Loss from a constructive sale would be recognized when the property
was subsequently disposed of, and its character would depend on the Fund's
holding period and the application of various loss deferral provisions of the
code. Constructive sale treatment does not apply to transactions closed prior to
the end of the 30th day after the close of the taxable year, if certain
conditions are met.

      Section 988 gains or losses

      Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates which occur
between the time a Fund accrues income or other receivables or accrues expenses
or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Fund
actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities generally are
treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, on disposition of some
investments, including debt securities and certain forward contracts denominated
in a foreign currency, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value
of the foreign currency between the acquisition and disposition of the position
also are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains and losses, referred to
under the Code as "section 988" gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount
of the Fund's investment company taxable income available to be distributed to
its shareholders as ordinary income. If section 988 losses exceed other
investment company taxable income during a taxable year, the Fund would not be
able to make any ordinary dividend distributions, or distributions made before
the losses were realized would be recharacterized as a return of capital to its
shareholders, rather than as an ordinary dividend, thereby reducing the basis of
the Fund shares.

      THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
AFFECTING THE FUNDS AND YOURSELF. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX
ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF AN INVESTMENT

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Combination

The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements reflect the accounts of
the Credit Suisse Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. ("CGF")
and Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. ("CIK"), collectively the
Funds, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. These statements
have been derived from the books and records utilized in calculating the
respective weekly net asset values of the Funds as of December 31, 2000. The pro
forma financial statements give effect to the proposed transfers of the assets
and stated liabilities of CGF in exchange for shares of CIK. Under the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations, the basis of portfolio
securities in CGF at the time of the reorganization will be the fair value of
such assets at the close of business of the day immediately preceding the
reorganization. The Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect the combined results
of operations of CGF and CIK. All ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the reorganization will be borne by CGF and CIK. See the Notes
to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations for details of the pro forma expense
adjustments. The Pro Forma Combining Statement of Assets and Liabilities,
Statement of Operations, and Schedule of Portfolio Investments should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of CGF and CIK which have
been incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information
constituting part of the Form N-14 Registration Statement.

2. Advisory, Administration, Transfer Agent and Custodian Fees

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") provides investment advisory
services to the Funds under the terms of an Advisory Agreement. Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is paid a fee, computed weekly and payable
quarterly at an annual rate of 0.50% of average weekly net assets. Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. provides administrative and custodial services to the
Funds and they are compensated at a fee rate based on average net assets. Fleet
National Bank provides transfer agent services to the Funds and they are
compensated at a fee rate based on the number of accounts per year, plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

3. Portfolio Valuation

Market values for fixed income securities are valued at the latest quoted bid
price in the over-the-counter market. However, fixed-income securities may be
valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which are based
primarily on institutional size trading in similar groups of securities. Other
securities listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales prices on
the day of valuation or if there was no sale on such day, the last bid price
quoted on such day. Securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted
securities) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.

4. Capital Shares

Both CGF and CIK have 100,000,000 of shares authorized, each with a par value of
$0.001 per share. The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance
of shares of CIK to





shareholders of CGF in connection with the proposed reorganization. Fractional
shares will not be issued in connection with this reorganization. Cash will be
remitted to CGF shareholders in exchange for their fractional shares.

5. Accounting Survivor

As the two Funds share the same investment advisor, have similar investment
objectives and policies, and the same portfolio mix and expense structures,
CIK will be the accounting survivor in the Reorganization because it is
substantially larger in size than CGF.

Item 15. Indemnification

            Section 2-418 of the Corporation Law of the State of Maryland gives
Registrant the power to indemnify its directors and officers. Section 2-418
provides in pertinent part:

                   "(b)(1) A corporation may indemnify any director made a party
       to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is
       established that:

                        (i)   The act or omission of the director was material
            to the cause matter giving rise to the proceeding; and

                               1.   Was committed in bad faith; or

                               2.   Was the result of active and deliberate
                        dishonesty; or

                        (ii)  The director actually received an improper
            personal benefit in money, property or services; or

                        (iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the
            director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission
            was unlawful.

                        (2)(i) Indemnification may be against judgments,
            penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually
            incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

                        (ii) However, if the proceeding was one by or in the
            right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made in respect
            of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to
            be liable to the corporation.

                        (3)(i) The termination of any proceeding by judgment,
            order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director
            did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this
            subsection.

                        (ii) The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or
            a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order
            of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption
            that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.

                   (4) A corporation may not indemnify a director or advance
            expenses under this section for a proceeding brought by that
            director against the corporation, except:





                        (i) For a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification
            under this section; or

                        (ii) If the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a
            resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or an
            agreement approved by the board of directors of the corporation to
            which the corporation is a party expressly provide otherwise.

                   "(c) A director may not be indemnified under subsection (b)
       of this section in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal
       benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the
       director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be
       liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.

                   "(d) Unless limited by the charter:

                   (1) A director who has been successful, on the merits or
            otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in
            subsection (b) of this section shall be indemnified against
            reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the
            proceeding.

                   (2) A court of appropriate jurisdiction upon application of a
            director and such notice as the court shall require, may order
            indemnification in the following circumstances:

                        (i) If it determines a director is entitled to
            reimbursement under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the court
            shall order indemnification, in which case the director shall be
            entitled to recover the expenses in securing such reimbursement; or

                        (ii) If it determines that the director is fairly and
            reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
            circumstances, whether or not the director has met the standards of
            conduct set forth in Subsection (b) of this section or has been
            adjudged liable under the circumstances described in subsection (c)
            of this section, the court may order such indemnification as the
            court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to
            any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which
            liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in
            subsection (c) shall be limited to expenses.

                        (3) A court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same
            court in which the proceeding involving the director's liability
            took place.

                   (e)(1) Indemnification under subsection (b) of this section
       may not be made by the corporation unless authorized for a specific
       proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of
       the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has
       met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section.



                                      -2-



                        (2)   Such determination shall be made:

                        (i) By the board of directors by a majority vote of a
            quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the
            proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a
            majority vote of a committee of the board consisting solely of two
            or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and
            who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of
            the full board in which the designated directors who are parties may
            participate;

                        (ii) By special legal counsel selected by the board of
            directors or a committee of the board by vote as set forth in
            subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, or, if the requisite quorum of
            the full board cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot
            be established, by a majority vote of the full board in which
            directors who are parties may participate; or

                        (iii) By the stockholders.

                        (3) Authorization of indemnification and determination
            as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as
            the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if
            the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by
            special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and
            determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the
            manner specified in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (2) of this
            subsection for selection of such counsel.

                        (4) Shares held by directors who are parties to the
            proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this
            subsection.

                   (f)(1) Reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a
       party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in
       advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the
       corporation of:

                        (i) A written affirmation by the director of the
            director's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary
            for indemnification by the corporation as authorized in this section
            has been met; and

                        (ii) A written undertaking by or on behalf of the
            director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined
            that the standard of conduct has not been met.

                        (2) The undertaking by or on behalf of the director to
            repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the
            standard of conduct has not been met.

                        (2) The undertaking required by subparagraph (ii) of
            paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be an unlimited general
            obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be
            accepted without reference to financial ability to make the
            repayment.



                                      -3-



                        (3) Payments under this subsection shall be made as
            provided by the charter, bylaws, or contract or as specified in
            subsection (e) of this section.

                   (g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
       or authorized by this section may not be deemed exclusive of any other
       rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a director may be
       entitled under the charter, the bylaws, a resolution of stockholders or
       directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to action in an official
       capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

                   (h) This section does not limit the corporation's power to
       pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an
       appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has
       not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

                   (i)  For purposes of this section:

                        (1) The corporation shall be deemed to have requested a
            director to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of
            the director's duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or
            otherwise involves services by, the director to the plan or
            participants or beneficiaries of the plan;

                        (2) Excise taxes assessed on a director with respect to
            an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed
            fines; and

                        (3) Action taken or omitted by the director with respect
            to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the director's
            duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the director to be in
            the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall
            be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best
            interests of the corporation.

                   (j)  Unless limited by the charter:

                        (1) An officer of the corporation shall be indemnified
            as and to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this section for
            a director and shall be entitled, to the same extent as a director,
            to seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of subsection
            (d);

                        (2) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to
            an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent
            that it may indemnify directors under this section; and

                        (3) A corporation, in addition, may indemnify and
            advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a
            director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be
            provided by its charter, bylaws, general or specific action of its
            board of directors, or contract.



                                      -4-



                   (k)(1) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
       behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or
       agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or
       agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the
       corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent
       of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture,
       trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability
       asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or
       arising out of such person's position, whether or not the corporation
       would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions
       of this section.

                        (2) A corporation may provide similar protection,
            including a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not
            inconsistent with this section.

                        (3) The insurance or similar protection may be provided
            by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the corporation.

                   (l) Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a
       director in accordance with this section, if arising out of a proceeding
       by or in the right of the corporation, shall be reported in writing to
       the stockholders with the notice of the next stockholders' meeting or
       prior to the meeting.

                        (2) A corporation may provide similar protection,
            including a trust Fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not
            inconsistent with this section.

                        (3) The insurance or similar protection may be provided
            by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the corporation."

            Article Eight of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation states
as follows:

            "Section 3. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted by law (including the Investment Company Act of 1940) as currently in
effect or as may hereafter be amended, any person made or threatened to be made
a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such
person's testator or intestate is or was a Director or Officer. To the fullest
extent permitted by law (including the Investment Company Act of 1940) as
currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended, expenses incurred
by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be
paid or reimbursed by the Corporation promptly upon receipt by it of an
undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Fund.
Before the Fund may advance such expenses, one of the following provisions must
be satisfied: 1) such Director or Officer shall provide a security for his
undertaking, 2) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by
reason of any lawful advances, or 3) a majority of a quorum of disinterested,
non-party directors of the Corporation, or an independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts,
that there is reason to believe that such Director or Officer ultimately will be
found entitled to indemnification. The rights provided to any person by this
Section of this Article shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such
person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to
serve as a



                                      -5-



Director or Officer as provided above. No amendment of this Section of this
Article shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect
to events occurring prior to such amendment. For purposes of this Section of
this Article, the term "Corporation" shall include any predecessor of the
Corporation and any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger; the term
"other enterprise" shall include any corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or employee benefit plan; service "at the request of the Corporation"
shall include service as a Director or Officer of the Corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such Director or Officer with respect to an
employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants
or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action
by a person with respect to any employee benefit plan which such person
reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation.

            "Section 4. Nothing in this Article protects or purports to protect,
any director or officer against any liability to the Corporation or its security
holders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his or her office.

            "Section 5. A Director or Officer of the Corporation shall not be
liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a Director or Officer, except to the extent such exemption
from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by law (including the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules or regulations thereunder or any
releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff) as
currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended.

            Article VII of Registrant's By-Laws states as follows:

            "Article VII. The Corporation shall indemnify its Directors and
officers against judgments, fines, settlements and expenses to the fullest
extent authorized and in the manner permitted, by applicable federal and state
law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation."

            A policy of insurance covering Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC,
its affiliates, and all of the registered investment companies advised by Credit
Suisse Asset Management, LLC insures the Registrant's directors and officers and
others against liability arising by reason of an alleged breach of duty caused
by any negligent act, error or accidental omission in the scope of its duties
and the Registrant against any payments which it is obligated to make to such
persons under the indemnification provisions described above.

            Each of the Non-interested Directors of the Funds is party to an
Indemnification Agreement with the Fund or Funds as to which he serves as a
director providing for contractual rights of indemnity and advancement of
expenses.

            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Fund pursuant to the



                                      -6-



provisions described above, or otherwise, the Fund has been advised that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Fund of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Fund in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Fund by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Fund will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings

            (1) The Registrant agrees that prior to any public reoffering of the
securities registered through the use of a prospectus which is a part of this
registration statement by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter
within the meaning of Rule 145(c) of the Securities Act, the reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable
