MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

After setting dozens of record highs from the start of October until the
year-end, the Dow Jones Industrial Average/SM/ (the Dow) ended 2006 at
12,463.15 -- an increase of 16.3% for the year and fewer than 50 points from
the peak of 12,510.57 touched on December 27. For the year, the Nasdaq
Composite(R) Index (the Nasdaq) gained 9.5% to 2,415.29 and the S&P 500(R)
Index (the S&P 500) climbed 13.6% (excludes reinvested dividends) to 1,418.30.
Overall, it was the best year for the markets since 2003 -- when the Dow rose
25.3%, the Nasdaq soared 50%, and the S&P 500 was up 26.4%.

Most of the gain came in the fourth quarter, after it became apparent that
the Fed had decided to keep its rate increases at bay. We believe that the
election was a positive factor for the market. Ordinarily, the market prefers
the Republicans to win, but the market started to perk up even when it was
quite likely the Democrats would control the House and, in all likelihood, the
Senate. We like the fact that the market was acting well on supposedly bad
news. After the election, the market continued to climb. Perhaps investors
wanted political gridlock with a Republican president and a Democratic
congress. Another factor for the strong run was the takeover rush. There was a
large amount of cash circulating that was winding up in the market.

As it had done in its last three previous meetings, the Fed left its
short-term interest rate unchanged at 5.25% at its December session. In its
statement, the Fed noted that economic growth had slowed partly, "...reflecting
a substantial cooling of the housing market..." and saw the economy expanding
at a moderate pace in coming quarters. While the Fed noted, "...inflation
pressures seem likely to moderate over time," it simultaneously warned that,
"...some inflation risks remain." It added that, "...the extent and

timing of additional firming..." will depend on "...the evolution of the
outlook for both inflation and economic growth."

On the inflation front, the main factor is the drop in commodity prices,
especially that of crude oil. It has fallen about a third from its peak. The
higher oil prices had put a crimp in the economy, and the lower levels could be
a stimulant, leading to inflationary trends. Probably that is what gives the
Fed concern. However, at this point, it is not something we are worried about.

The housing slump and slower vehicle sales were factors in the cooling of
the gross domestic product (GDP) annual growth rate from a robust 5.6% in the
first quarter of 2006 to 2% in the third quarter, according to the Commerce
Department. The slower growth was accompanied by mixed news on inflationary
pressures. Consumer prices were unchanged in November, following 0.5% declines
in both September and October, while producer prices rose 2%.

Right now, the economy and inflation seem to be roughly in balance. The
economy is decent but not strong and inflation seems in control. We believe
that overall, the situation is close to the so-called "Goldilocks" scenario
where the market is not too hot or too cold.

Part of the recent strength in the stock market has been attributed to the
flood of mergers and acquisitions. Thomson Financial reports that the value of
deals in the U.S. jumped 36% in 2006 to $1.56 trillion. This figure is close to
the record $1.7 trillion set in 2000.

Takeover firms have done fairly well and have been able to raise more and
more money. It is money that makes the market go and institutional money has
been pouring in. We have heard numbers that are north of a trillion dollars
that they now have under their control. The amount of cash held by corporations
is probably close to double what was normal a decade ago. After the recession
and 9/11, corporations became timid and hoarded their cash. Since they aren't
spending as much on capital equipment, they have to do something with the
funds. Some increased their dividends; others bought back their stock; still
others bought another company. These are all bullish moves.

While we believe there is a correlation between merger mania and market
highs, we are not likely at that point yet. There is so much money out there
ready to be put to work and the market is not wildly valued either. Eventually,
it could get out of bounds and then we would have to pay the piper. But we
believe it is too early to worry about that.

Also making news last year was the surge in initial public offerings (IPOs).
Dialogic reported that 78 new issues came out in the U.S. during the final
three months of 2006, raising $16.68 billion, the highest total since the final
quarter of 1999. This was a substantial gain from the 48 stocks that raised
$7.6 billion in the same time frame in 2005. For all of 2006, there were 198
newly listed companies that raised $44.1 billion.

Although the number is huge, we do not consider it to be out of control.
This is not 1999. We're not seeing the clunky ones, the start-ups without
earnings that triple on the first day. Although the IPOs' growth trend will
continue, we do not consider the current amount unusually large.

As more new issues were coming out, more companies were buying back their
own stock. Standard & Poor's reported that companies in the S&P 500 bought back
an estimated $110 billion of their stock in the third quarter of 2006. This
followed $117 billion buybacks in the second quarter and $110 billion in the
first. All told, the nine-month total was $337 billion, an increase of 33% from
the $245 billion in the same period in 2005.

These buybacks are another bullish factor. The real question when the
company buys back

its own stock is whether it is reasonably priced or cheap. Back in the late
'90s, some companies were buying in their own stock at multiples we felt were
inappropriate. But now the market does not seem to be too lofty on a valuation
basis. Some companies are probably overpaying, but on average, valuations seem
fine overall.

Incidentally, a significant reason for the buyback is that companies don't
want to be taken over. If they sit on a mountain of cash, they are likely to
become a target. Conversely, if they buy their own stock, they have less cash
and tend to be less attractive for a takeover. With buybacks, they are also
seeking to raise the price of their stock. We believe the trend of stock
buybacks as a defense against takeovers will continue.

Although remaining respectable, corporate earnings are expected to slow
their growth rate. Standard & Poor's estimated that companies in its 500-Stock
Index in the fourth quarter of 2006 were 9% above the 2005 figure. After 18
consecutive quarters of double-digit growth, this would be the first quarter
with a single-digit gain. Earnings in the third quarter were at an
exceptionally strong 19%. Looking ahead, Thomson Financial predicts that
earnings per share for these companies will slip below 10% in 2007, making this
year the first since 2002 with single-digit growth. That would still be above
the long-term average growth of 7.5%.

Forecasts of lower earnings are made in advance of every quarter and they
frequently turn out to be too low. It is difficult to know whether the overall
growth rate will slow. Every industry has a different outlook. For example, the
drop in oil prices will help many companies, but hurt the oil companies, which
represent a major market sector. Without making any predictions, we don't see
earnings running off the track soon.

The dollar slipped sharply in 2006 against the euro and the British pound.
The euro gained 11.49% and the British pound, 13.8%. Both were close to record
highs against the dollar. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Index of stocks outside the
U.S. climbed 23% in 2006. The strong markets abroad and the cheaper dollar are
combining to make foreign stocks more attractive to U.S. investors as far as
potential appreciation, capital gains and dividends are concerned. That's why
such a tremendous amount of money is pouring into foreign funds. However, these
investments are, of course, not guaranteed. If the dollar reverses its course,
these investors could get hurt. That will likely happen eventually, but it is
impossible to predict when.

At year-end, companies in the S&P 500 were trading at 18.2 times operating
earnings, slightly above the 17.9 valuation in September, but below the 19.2
figure at the close of 2005. Data from Thomson Financial placed the
price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 in 2007 at about 15 times estimated
earnings. This coincides with the long-term average. There are analysts who
believe the market is undervalued, but we don't consider the current levels to
be that unreasonable. Given the state of the economy and the inflation level,
the market appears to us to be fairly valued.

Indicating that many investors borrowed money to buy stocks during the
market rally, margin debt, as reported by Ned Davis Research, increased 21%
from February through November. At the end of November, margin debt was put at
2% of GDP, the highest percentage since November 2000. Much of the margin surge
is due to hedge fund borrowing and these funds are under-invested. What we are
not seeing at this time is the public plunging heavily into margin and later
running into trouble.

There has been mounting concern about the long-running inverted yield curve,
with yields on short-term U.S. Treasury bills topping returns on long-term
Treasury notes. In early January, the three-month Treasury bill yielded 5.05%
against a 4.648% rate on the 10-year note. This inversion had continued for
about six months and, histor-

ically, recessions have frequently caused long-term inversions.

The yield curve used to be one of our favorite indicators, but times have
changed. In the past, banks had limits on their loans and the economy would
slow when the Fed raised interest rates. There are no such restrictions on
banks now and the current inversion occurred because the bond market did very
well.

Market advisers are very optimistic on the outlook. The year-end survey by
Investors Intelligence showed 56% bulls and 20% bears. This was a significant
increase from the end of the third quarter, when bulls stood at 49% and bears
at 33% -- but not very different from the 2005 year-end, when there were 56%
bulls and 24% bears. While there definitely is a lot more optimism in the
marketplace than there was a few months ago, the level of optimism is still
relatively subdued. For example, many analysts are predicting that the market
will rise about 7% for this year, which is pretty normal.

In summary, the biggest positives for the market in 2006 included the
previously discussed large levels of cash held by corporations, hedge funds and
buyout companies. In addition, we are now in a pre-election year -- which,
historically, has often proven to be the strongest year in the four-year
presidential cycle -- a fact that should not be overlooked.

Although all sorts of negative things are happening around the world, the
market keeps going up. It is climbing the proverbial wall of worry and is doing
a pretty good job. All things considered, our market stance on equities is
bullish and we are about 90% invested.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION

The Fund's leading stock market sectors on December 31, 2006 included
financials, information technology, health care, consumer discretionary and
consumer staples. Compared with our previous listing, the only new sector is
consumer staples, which replaced industrials. During the fourth quarter, we
added to our positions in financial and consumer staples and trimmed our
holdings in consumer discretionary and materials.

As of December 31, 2006, our top individual positions included Allstate,
Boeing, Cisco Systems, Continental Airlines, EMC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan
Stanley, NASDAQ 100 Trust, Seagate Technology and UnitedHealth Group.

During the quarter, we added to our positions in Boeing and UnitedHealth
Group and reduced our holdings in Continental Airlines. There were no changes
in shares held in EMC and Seagate Technology. No longer among our top positions
are AT&T, JPMorgan Chase and McDonald's, where we reduced our holdings --and
Abercrombie & Fitch and Verizon, where there were no changes in shares owned.

Sincerely,

each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for
the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under
the Fund's Automatic Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan. Generally, total
investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total
investment return based on market value in periods where there is an
increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to
the net assets from the beginning to the end of such years. Conversely,
total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total

THE ZWEIG FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

The Zweig Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a closed-end, diversified management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Act"). The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on
June 30, 1986. The Fund's objective is to increase capital primarily with
investment in equity securities, consistent with capital preservation and
reduction of risk.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amount of increases and decreases in
net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

A. Security Valuation:

Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last
sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded, or if no
closing price is available, at the last bid price.

Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations
provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to
recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from
dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value.

As required, some securities and other assets may be valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Directors.

Certain foreign common stocks may be fair valued in cases where closing
prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily
available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in
the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur
between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally
traded) and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value (generally,
the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these
foreign markets. In these cases, information from an external vendor may be
utilized to adjust closing market prices of certain foreign common stocks to
reflect their fair value. Because the frequency of significant events is not
predictable, fair valuation of certain foreign common stocks may occur on a
frequent basis.

Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
"Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's
financial statement disclosures.

B. Security Transactions and Related Income:

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities,
as soon as the Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective
interest method. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified
cost basis.

C. Income Taxes:

It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes
has been made.

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or
currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will
accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current
interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in
which they invest.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes."
This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return
positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained
by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the
more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than
50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of
the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application
permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. At adoption,
companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax
positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption
date. The evaluation of the impact that will result from adopting FIN 48 is in
progress.

D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders:

Distributions are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These differences may include the treatment of
non-taxable dividends, market premium and discount, non-deductible expenses,
expiring capital loss carryovers, foreign currency gain or loss, operating
losses and losses deferred due to wash sales. Permanent book and tax basis
differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in
reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest. As of
December 31, 2006, the Fund increased undistributed net investment income by
$22,098,318, decreased the accumulated net realized loss by $15,285,877, and
decreased capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest by $37,384,195.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis (excluding
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which is disclosed in the Schedules of
Investments and Securities Sold Short) consist of undistributed ordinary income
of $0 and undistributed long-term capital gains of $0.

The Fund has $141,898,355 of capital loss carryovers, $115,096,193 expiring
in 2010 and $26,802,162 expiring in 2011, which may be used to offset future
capital gains. The Fund may not realize the benefit of these losses to the
extent it does not realize gains on investments prior to the expiration of the
capital loss carryovers. For the fiscal year (the "period") ended December 31,
2006, the Fund utilized losses deferred in prior years of $14,517,336.

In addition, under certain conditions, the Fund may lose the benefit of
these losses to the extent that distributions to shareholders exceed required
distribution amounts as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Shareholders
may also pay additional taxes on these excess distributions.

E. Foreign Currency Translation:

Foreign securities and other assets and liabilities are valued using the
foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period.
Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at
the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange
rates between the trade and settlement dates of a portfolio transaction is
treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss
resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is
accrued and paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. The Fund
does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes
in exchange rates and that portion arising from changes in the market prices of
securities.

F. Foreign Security Country Determination:

A combination of the following criteria is used to assign the countries of
risk listed in the Schedule of Investments and Securities Sold Short: country
of incorporation, actual building address, primary exchange on which the
security is traded and country in which the greatest percentage of company
revenue is generated.

G. Options:

The Fund may write covered options or purchase options contracts for the
purpose of hedging against changes in the market value of the underlying
securities or foreign currencies.

The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the
option transaction. Gains and losses on written options are reported separately
in the Statement of Operations. When a written option is exercised, the
proceeds on sales or amounts paid are adjusted by the amount of premium
received. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current
value of the option. The risk associated with written options is that the
change in value of options contracts may not correspond to the change in value
of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the
value of the underlying instruments, or if a liquid, secondary market does not
exist for the contracts.

The Fund may purchase options, which are included in the Fund's Schedule of
Investments and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of
the option.

When a purchased option is exercised, the cost of the security is adjusted
by the amount of premium paid. The risk associated with purchased options is
limited to the premium paid.

H. Short Sales:

A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not
own in anticipation of a decline in market price. To sell a security short, the
Fund must borrow the security. The Fund's

obligation to replace the security borrowed and sold short will be fully
collateralized at all times by the proceeds from the short sale retained by the
broker and by cash and securities deposited in a segregated account with the
Fund's custodian. If the price of the security sold short increases between the
time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security,
the Fund will realize a loss, and if the price declines during the period, the
Fund will realize a gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any realized
loss increased, by the amount of transaction costs. On ex-dividend date,
dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense to the Fund. The collateral
includes the deposits with the broker for securities held short and the value
of the segregated investments held long, as shown in the Schedule of
Investments and Securities Sold Short. Short selling used in the management of
the Fund may accelerate the velocity of potential losses if the prices of
securities sold short appreciate quickly. Stocks purchased may decline in value
at the same time stocks sold short may appreciate in value, thereby increasing
potential losses. At December 31, 2006, there were no securities sold short.

I. Security Lending:

The Fund may loan securities to qualified brokers through an agreement with
State Street Bank and Trust (the "Custodian"). Under the terms of the
agreement, the Fund receives collateral with a market value not less than 100%
of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in
connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral
may consist of cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
its agencies and the sovereign debt of foreign countries. Cash collateral has
been invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the
collateral and premiums paid by the borrower are recorded as income by the Fund
net of fees and rebates charged by the Custodian for its services in connection
with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a
risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the foreclosure on
collateral.

NOTE 3 -- PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding U.S. Government and agency
securities and short-term securities) for the period ended December 31, 2006,
were as follows:

Purchases...................... $141,533,864
Sales.......................... 167,196,705
Short sales.................... 5,782,622
Purchases to cover short sales. 32,831,259

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government and agency
securities for the period ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 4 -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a) Investment Advisory Fee: The Investment Advisory Agreement (the
"Agreement") between Phoenix/Zweig Advisers LLC (the "Adviser"), the Fund's
investment adviser, and the Fund provides that, subject to the direction of the
Board of Directors of the Fund and the applicable provisions of the Act, the
adviser is responsible for the actual management of the Fund's portfolio. The
Adviser is a wholly-owned

subsidiary of Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. ("PXP"). PXP is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. ("PNX"). The
responsibility for making decisions to buy, sell or hold a particular
investment rests with the Adviser, subject to review by the Board of Directors
and the applicable provisions of the Act. For the services provided by the
Adviser under the Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee equal, on
an annual basis, to 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets. During the
period ended December 31, 2006, the Fund incurred advisory fees of $3,616,231.

Zweig Consulting LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), which serves as the Sub-Adviser
for the Fund, performs certain asset allocation research and analysis and
provides such advice to the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser's fees are paid by the
Adviser.

b) Administration Fee: Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PNX, serves as the Fund's Administrator
(the "Administrator") pursuant to an Administration Agreement. Effective March
1, 2006, the Administrator receives a fee for financial reporting, tax
services, and oversight of the subagent's performance at a rate of 0.065% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. For the period January 1, 2006 though
February 28, 2006, the rate was 0.13% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, the Fund incurred Administration
fees of $321,415.

c) Directors Fee: The Fund pays each Director who is not an interested
person of the Fund or the Adviser a fee of $10,000 per year plus $1,500 per
Directors' or committee meeting attended, together with the out-of-pocket costs
relating to attendance at such meetings. Any Director of the Fund who is an
interested person of the Fund or the Adviser receives no remuneration from the
Fund.

d) Payment by Affiliate: The Adviser made a voluntary payment on August 25,
2005 in the amount of $131,874 to fully offset the net gains and losses
associated with a violation of investment restrictions.

NOTE 5 -- INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Fund's organizational documents, its directors and officers are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund. In addition, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a
variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses
pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 6 -- CAPITAL STOCK AND REINVESTMENT PLAN

At December 31, 2006, the Fund had one class of common stock, par value $.10
per share, of which 100,000,000 shares are authorized and 73,233,013 shares are
outstanding.

Registered shareholders may elect to have all distributions paid by check
mailed directly to the shareholder by Computershare as dividend paying agent.
Pursuant to the Automatic Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"),
shareholders not making such election will have all such amounts automatically
reinvested by Computershare, as the Plan agent, in whole or fractional shares
of the Fund, as the case may be. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005, there were no shares issued pursuant to the Plan.

On December 19, 2006, the Fund announced a distribution of $0.151 per share
to shareholders of record on December 29, 2006. This distribution has an
ex-dividend date of January 3, 2007, and is payable on January 8, 2007.

NOTE 7 -- CREDIT RISK AND ASSET CONCENTRATIONS

In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present
greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments
may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in
these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these
investments and the income they generate, as well as the Fund's ability to
repatriate such amounts.

The Fund may invest a high percentage of its assets in specific sectors of
the market in its pursuit of a greater investment return. Fluctuations in these
sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on the Fund, positive or
negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Zweig Fund, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments and securities sold short, and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The Zweig Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") at December 31, 2006, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2006 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

PHOENIX
INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LTD.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

(a) The registrant, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's
principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the
registrant or a third party.

(c) There have been no amendments, during the period covered by this
report, to a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the
registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing
similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are
employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any
element of the code of ethics described in Item 2(b) of the
instructions for completion of Form N-CSR.

(d) The registrant has not granted any waivers, during the period covered
by this report, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the
code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of
whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third
party, that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph
(b) of the instructions for completion of this Item.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant does not have an audit committee financial expert at this time
because none of the registrant's board of directors meets the technical
definition of such an expert in form N-CSR. The audit committee of the board is
in compliance with applicable rules of the listing requirements for closed-end
fund audit committees, including the requirement that all members of the audit
committee be "financially literate" and that at least one member of the audit
committee have "accounting or related financial management expertise", as
determined by the board.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

(a) The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for
professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the
audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that
are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory
and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are
$32,000 for 2006 and $32,000 for 2005.

Audit-Related Fees

(b) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for
assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant's
financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this
Item are $1,000 for 2006 and $1,000 for 2005. This represents the
review of the semi-annual financial statements.

Tax Fees

(c) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for
professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax
compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $5,025 for 2006 and
$6,350 for 2005.

"Tax Fees" are those primarily associated with review of the Trust's
tax provision and qualification as a regulated investment company
(RIC) in connection with audits of the Trust's financial statement,
review of year-end distributions by the Fund to avoid excise tax for
the Trust, periodic discussion with management on tax issues affecting
the Trust, and reviewing and signing the Fund's federal income and
excise tax returns.

All Other Fees

(d) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for
products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than
the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are
$0 for 2006 and $0 for 2005.

(e)(1) Disclose the audit committee's pre-approval policies and procedures
described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Zweig Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") Board has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services provided by
PwC. The Audit Committee pre-approves: (i) all audit and non-audit
services to be rendered to the Fund by PwC; and (ii) all non-audit
services to be rendered to the Fund, financial reporting of the Fund
provided by PwC to the Adviser or any affiliate thereof that provides
ongoing services to the Fund (collectively, "Covered Services"). The
Audit Committee has adopted pre-approval procedures authorizing a
member of the Audit Committee to pre-approve from time to time, on
behalf of the Audit Committee, all Covered Services to be provided by
PwC which are not otherwise pre-approved at a meeting of the Audit
committee, provided that such delegate reports to the full Audit
Committee at its next meeting. The pre-approval procedures do not
include delegation of the Audit committee's responsibilities to
management. Pre-approval has not been waived with respect to any of
the services described above since the date on which the Audit
Committee adopted its current pre-approval procedures.

(e)(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through
(d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to
paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

(b) 100% for 2006; 100% for 2005

(d) Not applicable for 2006; Not applicable for 2005

(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's
engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most
recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons
other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees
was less than fifty percent.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for
services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant's
investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is
primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen
by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing
services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of
the registrant was $961,830 for 2006 and $892,561 for 2005.

(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of directors has
considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were
rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any
sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant's independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed registrants.

The registrant has a separately designated audit committee consisting of all
the independent directors of the registrant. Audit Committee Members are:
Charles H. Brunie, Wendy Luscombe, Prof. Alden C. Olson, James B. Rogers and R.
Keith Walton.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Schedule of Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers as of the close
of the reporting period is included as part of the report to shareholders filed
under Item 1 of this form.

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

II. General Policy. It is the intention of the Fund to exercise stock ownership

further the best economic interests of shareholders of the Fund.
Accordingly, the Fund or its Delegate(s) shall endeavor to analyze and vote
all proxies that are considered likely to have financial implications, and,
where appropriate, to participate in corporate governance, shareholder
proposals, management communications and legal proceedings. The Fund and
its Delegate(s) must also identify potential or actual conflicts of
interests in voting proxies and address any such conflict of interest in
accordance with this Statement of Policy.

III Factors to consider when voting.

A. A Delegate may abstain from voting when it concludes that the effect
on shareholders' economic interests or the value of the Portfolio
Holding is indeterminable or insignificant.

B In analyzing anti-takeover measures, the Delegate shall vote on a
case-by-case basis taking into consideration such factors as overall
long-term financial performance of the target company relative to its
industry competition. Key measures which shall be considered include,
without limitation, five-year annual compound growth rates for sales,
operating income, net income, and total shareholder returns (share
price appreciation plus dividends). Other financial indicators that
will be considered include margin analysis, cash flow, and debit
levels.

C. In analyzing contested elections, the Delegate shall vote on a
case-by-case basis taking into consideration such factors as the
qualifications of all director nominees. The Delegate shall also
consider the independence and attendance record of board and key
committee members. A review of the corporate governance profile shall
be completed highlighting entrenchment devices that may reduce
accountability.

D. In analyzing corporate governance matters, the Delegate shall vote on
a case-by-case basis taking into consideration such factors as tax and
economic benefits associated with amending an issuer's state of
incorporation, dilution or improved accountability associated with
changes in capital structure, management proposals to require a
supermajority shareholder vote to amend charters and bylaws and
bundled or "conditioned" proxy proposals.

E. In analyzing executive compensation proposals and management matters,
the Adviser shall vote on a case-by-case basis taking into
consideration such factors as executive pay and spending on
perquisites, particularly in conjunction with sub-par performance and
employee layoffs.

F. In analyzing proxy contests for control, the Delegate shall vote on a
case-by-case basis taking into consideration such factors as long-term
financial performance of the target company relative to its industry;
management's track record; background to the proxy contest;
qualifications of director nominees (both slates); evaluation of what
each side is offering shareholders as well as the likelihood that the
proposed objectives and goals can be met; and stock ownership
positions.

G. A Delegate shall generally vote against shareholder social matters
proposals.

IV Delegation.

A. In the absence of a specific direction to the contrary from the Board
of Trustees of the Fund, the Adviser will be responsible for voting
proxies for all Portfolio Holdings in accordance with this Statement
of Policy, or for delegating such responsibility as described below.

B. The Adviser delegated with authority to vote proxies for Portfolio
Holdings shall be deemed to assume a duty of care to safeguard the
best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. No Delegate shall
accept direction or inappropriate influence from any other client,
director or employee of any affiliated company and shall not cast any
vote inconsistent with this Statement of Policy without obtaining the
prior approval of the Fund or its duly authorized representative(s).

C. With regard to each Series for which there is a duly appointed
Subadviser acting pursuant to an investment advisory agreement
satisfying the requirements of Section 15(a) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules thereunder, the Subadviser may,
pursuant to delegated authority from the Adviser, vote proxies for
Portfolio Holdings with regard to the Series or portion of the assets
thereof for which the Subadviser is responsible. In such case, the
Subadviser shall vote proxies for the Portfolio Holdings in accordance
with Sections II, III and V of this Statement of Policy, provided,
however, that the Subadviser may vote proxies in accordance with its
own proxy voting policy/procedures ("Subadviser Procedures") if the
following two conditions are satisfied: (1) the Adviser must have
approved the Subadviser Procedures based upon the Adviser's
determination that the Subadviser Procedures are reasonably designed
to further the best economic interests of the affected Fund
shareholders, and (2) the Subadviser Procedures are reviewed and
approved annually by the Board of Trustees. The Subadviser will
promptly notify the Adviser of any material changes to the Subadviser
Procedures. The Adviser will periodically review the votes by the
Subadviser for consistency with this Statement of Policy.

V. Conflicts of Interest

A. The Fund and its Delegate(s) seek to avoid actual or perceived
conflicts of interest in the voting of proxies for Portfolio Holdings
between the interests of Fund shareholders, on one hand, and those of
the Adviser, Delegate, principal underwriter, or any affiliated person
of the Fund, on the other hand. The Board of Trustees may take into
account a wide array of factors in determining whether such a conflict
exists, whether such conflict is material in nature, and how to
properly address or resolve the same.

B. While each conflict situation varies based on the particular facts
presented and the requirements of governing law, the Board of Trustees
or its delegate(s) may take the following actions, among others, or
otherwise give weight to the following factors, in addressing material
conflicts of interest in voting (or directing Delegates to vote)
proxies pertaining to Portfolio Holdings: (i) rely on the
recommendations of an established, independent third party with
qualifications to vote proxies such as Institutional Shareholder
Services; (ii) vote pursuant to the recommendation of the proposing
Delegate; (iii) abstaining; or (iv) where two or more Delegates
provide conflicting requests, vote shares in proportion to the assets
under management of the each proposing Delegate.

C. The Adviser shall promptly notify the President of the Fund once any
actual or potential conflict of interest exists and their
recommendations for protecting the best interests of Fund's
shareholders. No Adviser shall waive any conflict of interest or vote
any conflicted proxies without the prior written approval of the Board
of Trustees or the President of the Fund pursuant to section D of this
Article.

D. In the event that a determination, authorization or waiver under this
Statement of Policy is requested at a time other than a regularly
scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees, the President of the Fund
shall be empowered with the power and responsibility to interpret and
apply this Statement of Policy and provide a report of his or her
determinations at the next following meeting of the Board of Trustees.

VI. Miscellaneous.

A. A copy of the current Statement of Policy with Respect to Proxy Voting
and the voting records for the Fund reconciling proxies with Portfolio
Holdings and recording proxy voting guideline compliance and

Potential Conflicts of Interests

There may be certain inherent conflicts of interest that arise in
connection with the Mr. Neel's and Mr. Dickerson's management of each
Fund's investments and the investments of any other accounts he manages.
Such conflicts could arise from the aggregation of orders for all
accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager, the allocation of
purchases across all such accounts, the allocation of IPOs and any soft
dollar arrangements that the Adviser may have in place that could
benefit the Funds and/or such other accounts. The Board of
Trustees/Directors has adopted on behalf of the Funds policies and
procedures designed to address any such conflicts of interest to ensure
that all transactions are executed in the best interest of the Funds'
shareholders. The Advisers and Subadviser are required to certify their
compliance with these procedures to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly
basis. There have been no material compliance issues with respect to any
of these policies and procedures during the Funds' most recent fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006. Additionally, there are no material
conflicts of interest between the investment strategy of a Fund and the
investment strategy of other accounts managed by Mr. Neel and
Mr. Dickerson since portfolio managers generally manage funds and other
accounts having similar investment strategies.

(a)(3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

For the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
following is a description of Mr. Neel's and Mr. Dickerson's
compensation structure as portfolio managers of PZA and Euclid.

Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. and its affiliated investment
management firms (collectively, "PXP"), believe that the firm's
compensation program is adequate and competitive to attract and retain
high-caliber investment professionals. Investment professionals at PXP
receive a competitive base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and a
benefits package. Managing Directors and portfolio investment
professionals who supervise and manage others also participate in a
management incentive program reflecting their personal contribution and
team performance. Highly compensated individuals can also take advantage
of a long-term Incentive Compensation program to defer their
compensation and reduce tax implications.

The bonus package for portfolio managers is based upon how well the
individual manager meets or exceeds assigned goals and subjective
assessment of contribution to the team effort. Their incentive bonus
also reflects a performance component for achieving and/or exceeding
performance competitive with

peers managing similar strategies. Such component is further adjusted to
reward investment personnel for managing within the stated framework and
for not taking unnecessary risks. This ensures that investment personnel
will remain focused on managing and acquiring securities that correspond
to a fund's mandate and risk profile. It also avoids the temptation for
portfolio managers to take on more risk and unnecessary exposure to
chase performance for personal gain.

Finally, Portfolio Managers and investment professionals may also
receive The Phoenix Companies, Inc. ("PNX") stock options and/or be
granted PNX restricted stock at the direction of the parent's Board of
Directors.

Following is a more detailed description of the compensation structure
of the Fund's portfolio managers.

Base Salary. Each Portfolio Manager is paid a fixed base salary, which
is determined by PXP and is designed to be competitive in light of the
individual's experience and responsibilities. PXP management uses
compensation survey results of investment industry compensation
conducted by an independent third party in evaluating competitive market
compensation for its investment management professionals.

Incentive Bonus. Generally, the current Performance Incentive Plan for
portfolio managers at PXP is made up of three components:

(1)Seventy percent of the target incentive is based on achieving
investment area investment goals and individual performance. The
Investment Incentive pool will be established based on actual
pre-tax investment performance compared with specific peer group
or index measures established at the beginning of each calendar
year. Performance of the funds managed is measured over one,
three and five-year periods against specified benchmarks and/or
peer groups for each fund managed. Performance of the PNX general
account and growth of revenue, if applicable to a particular
portfolio manager, is measured on a one-year basis. Generally,
individual manager's participation is based on the performance of
each fund/account managed as weighted roughly by total assets in
each of those funds/accounts.

(2)Fifteen percent of the target incentive is based on the
profitability of the investment management division with which
the portfolio manager is associated. This component of the plan
is paid in restricted stock units of The Phoenix Companies, Inc.,
which vest over three years.

(3)Fifteen percent of the target incentive is based on the portfolio
manager's investment area's competencies and on individual
performance. This pool is funded based on The Phoenix Companies,
Inc.'s return on equity.

The Performance Incentive Plan applicable to some portfolio managers may
vary from the description above. For instance, plans applicable to
certain portfolio managers (i) may specify different percentages of
target incentive that is based on investment goals and individual
performance and on The Phoenix Companies, Inc. return on equity,
(ii) may not contain the component that is based on the profitability of
the management division with which the portfolio manager is associated,
or (iii) may contain a guarantee payout percentage of certain portions
of the Performance Incentive Plan.

Long-Term Incentive Bonus. Certain portfolio managers are eligible for a
long-term incentive plan that is paid in restricted stock units of The
Phoenix Companies, Inc. which vest over three years. Awards under this
plan are contingent upon PNX achieving its cash return on equity
objective, generally over a three-year period. Target award
opportunities for eligible participants are determined by PNX's
Compensation Committee.

Other Benefits. Portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in
broad-based plans offered generally to the firm's employees, including
broad-based retirement, 401(k), health and other employee benefit plans.
