Semiannual Report

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.:
Managed distribution policy—key points to note

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

Dear shareholder,
This report provides an overview of the performance of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six months ended May 31, 2011.

Performance
Over the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund returned 9.51% on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, and generated an 8.81% return on a market price basis. Over the same period, the median returns for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Global Income Funds category, were 8.30% and 9.25% on a net asset value and market price basis, respectively. Finally, the Fund’s benchmark, the Strategic Global Benchmark1 (the “Benchmark”), returned 4.95% over the six-month reporting period. (For more on the Fund’s performance, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 7.)

The Fund did not use structural leverage during the reporting period. That is, the Fund did not have preferred stock outstanding, nor did it borrow from banks for investment purposes, as some of its peers may have done. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside, and creates a wider range of returns within the Fund’s peer group.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

As of May 31, 2011, the Fund traded at a discount to its NAV.2 In fact, the Fund generally traded at a discount to its NAV throughout the reporting period.

An interview with Portfolio Manager Uwe Schillhorn
Q.   How would you describe the global economic environment during the reporting period?
A.   Although the overall US economy expanded during the reporting period, there continued to be several areas of weakness. These included elevated unemployment levels and a weak housing market, which held back a more robust expansion.
     
    In the US, gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was 1.7% during the second quarter of 2010, followed by third and fourth quarter GDP growth of 2.6% and 3.1%, respectively. The Commerce Department then reported that its most recent estimate for first quarter 2011 GDP growth was 1.9%—a moderation in growth that’s being generally attributed to tepid consumer spending and declining government spending.
     
    Among developed countries outside of the US, GDP growth in the Eurozone rose slightly, to 0.8% during the first quarter of 2011, compared to 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Japan fell back into recession given the fallout from March’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. During the first quarter of 2011, GDP in Japan was -0.9%, following a 0.8% contraction in the fourth quarter of 2010.
     
    Growth rates were significantly higher in many developing countries—for example, China’s GDP grew 9.8% during the last three months of 2010, and 9.7% in the first quarter of 2011, while India’s GDP grew 9.3% and 7.8% respectively, during the same time periods. However, they were also impacted by higher energy and oil prices.

2 A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV. Alternatively, a fund trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its NAV. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding.

Q.   How did the global bond markets perform over the reporting period?
A.   As was the case during much of 2010, the US spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generated solid results during the reporting period. Among the best performers were US high yield bonds; the Barclays Capital High Yield Index3 posted positive returns during all six months covered by this report. Supporting the high yield market was overall robust investor demand given the low interest rate environment, generally better-than-expected corporate profits and declining defaults. Other spread sectors that produced solid results were commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and investment grade corporate bonds.
     
    The emerging markets debt asset class generated mixed results during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt prices generally weakened over the first two months of the period, as investor risk aversion increased given an escalation of the European sovereign debt crisis and mounting geopolitical issues in the Middle East and Northern Africa. In addition, rising commodity and food prices sparked inflationary pressures in many emerging market countries. This, in turn, led to interest rate hikes by a number of developing country central banks. The asset class then largely stabilized in February 2011, and rallied during the remainder of the reporting period. This turnaround was due, in part, to renewed investor risk appetite for higher yielding securities, such as the yields available from emerging markets debt, given the low interest rate environment.
     
Q.   How did you position the portfolio from a duration standpoint?
A.   We maintained a modified duration of 4.3 years, shorter than that of the Index. This strategy was initially positive for performance as global growth appeared to gain momentum and interest rates moved higher. However, the Fund’s shorter duration later detracted from results as global growth moderated and interest rates declined. Overall, the Fund’s duration positioning was a slight negative for results over the six months ended May 31, 2011. (Duration measures a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes and is related to the maturity of the bonds comprising the portfolio.)
     
Q.   Which currency strategies did you use during the period?
A.   In general, the Fund’s currency exposures were a positive for performance versus the benchmark during the reporting period. In general, we favored

3 The Barclays Capital High Yield Index covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt.

    commodity-driven currencies as energy and commodity prices moved higher. Among the largest contributors were our overweight positions in the Norwegian krone and Swedish krona. These currencies also benefited as they were viewed as safe havens compared to the euro.
     
    Elsewhere, the Fund’s positions in emerging local currencies generated mixed results. During the first half of the period, the Fund’s overweights to the Brazilian real and the Indonesian rupiah added to performance. However, these gains were largely offset as emerging markets currencies weakened in May 2011 versus the US dollar, due to a renewed increase in risk aversion.
     
    In addition, it should be noted that as a result of a short-term tactical move we made in the last few weeks of the reporting period—given our more cautious view on emerging markets currencies following their impressive appreciation versus the USD—the Fund’s overweight to local currencies declined on an overall basis.
     
Q.   Which other strategies generated strong results over the period?
A.   Overall, our out-of-benchmark exposure to spread product, both in the US and abroad, contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. In particular, the Fund’s positions in US high yield bonds—mostly those in the financial and industrial sectors—and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) were rewarded. (CDOs are debt securities backed by a pool of loans, such as auto loans, credit card debt or corporate debt.)
     
    High yield financials generated strong results as the fundamentals in the banking industry strengthened, capital reserves increased and corporate earnings often exceeded expectations. CDO fundamentals were strong and default rates remained at very low levels, and were further supported by stable economic growth in the US and Europe, combined with robust corporate profitability. Finally, the Fund also saw positive results from its exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), as they performed well given overall solid demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield.
     
    In terms of the Fund’s emerging markets debt exposure, its holdings of quasi-government and agency securities were beneficial, as they outperformed their US dollar-denominated counterparts during the reporting period. Examples of strong individual holdings were Russia’s state-owned Russian Agricultural Bank and Vnesheconombank. In general, Russia also benefited from higher oil prices.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

Q.   Were there any particular strategies that did not work well for the Fund?
A.   As discussed earlier, the Fund’s duration positioning detracted from performance. In addition, our position in Greek sovereign debt also detracted from performance. While concerns relating to Greece’s debt crisis continued and there were uncertainties surrounding the restructuring of its European Union/Monetary Fund bailout package, our position in Greece was fairly small, which helped to limit the negative impact on the Fund.
     
Q.   What derivative instruments had the greatest impact on performance during the reporting period?
A.   The Fund utilized currency forwards to manage its exposure to the Swedish krona, which strongly added to overall performance. (Currency forwards are agreements based on the exchange rates between currencies at a future date.)
     
    Additionally, the Fund used interest rate swaps to adjust its exposure to the US dollar, the euro and the Great Britain pound. Finally, Treasury futures, another type of derivative, were employed to help manage the Fund’s duration positioning.
     
Q.   What is your outlook on the global economy and fixed income markets?
A.   While growth in a number of developed countries moderated during the second half of the reporting period, we believe there is enough momentum for growth to remain positive, albeit somewhat tepid, in 2011. We also expect inflation to remain benign, and feel that interest rates will be relatively low in many developed countries given continued economic headwinds such as high unemployment. Against a backdrop of continued growth, low interest rates and little inflation, we believe the spread sectors remain attractive. In particular, high yield debt, CDOs and CMBS may continue to benefit from improving credit fundamentals and strong investor demand.
     
    We continue to have a positive long-term outlook for the emerging markets debt asset class, given the strength and robustness of the underlying economies. However, volatility may continue in the near term due to uncertainties in a number of peripheral Eurozone countries, which could trigger another flight to quality. Finally, given the extremely strong performance in the asset class over the last two years, some profit taking could be conceivable, particularly with the increasing uncertainty in the capital markets.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.

  Since US interest rates may be near their lowest levels, we see US dollardenominated emerging markets bonds as being fairly valued at current spread levels. In contrast, we believe local bonds and local currencies should be the main performance drivers for the foreseeable future as yield and economic growth disparities are likely to remain favorable for emerging market countries.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returns assume, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or on the sale of Fund shares.

8   Security is in default.
9   Rate shown reflects annualized yield at May 31, 2011 on zero coupon bond.
10   Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities’ principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers’ country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

2   Payments received are based on the notional amount.
3   Credit spreads represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occuring for the credit derivative. The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity.

Low prepayments return principal slower than expected and cause the yield to decrease.

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

Organization and significant accounting policies
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on November 15, 1991 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with its primary objective.

In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The


56


Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

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

Certain securities or instruments in which the Fund invests are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time will not be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. However, if the Fund determines that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. The Fund values investments in non-registered US open-end investment companies at


57


Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

the daily net asset value, pursuant to the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund’s custodian.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, including information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim


58

Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements have been implemented for the interim period beginning after December 15, 2010.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)”. ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “ Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of the Fund is consistent with the derivative activity during the period ended May 31, 2011. The Fund may be a seller of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent


59

(the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements); however, the Fund is not aware of any additional credit-risk contingent features on other derivative contracts held by the Fund.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for the Fund as of and for the period ended May 31, 2011 is as follows:

Restricted securities—The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in the Fund’s Notes to portfolio of investments.

Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Foreign currency translation—The Fund uses the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

Forward foreign currency contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund may also use forward contracts in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of


62


Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

its assets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.

Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar.

Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Futures contracts—The Fund may use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and to adjust exposure to US and foreign fixed income markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. The Fund may also use futures contracts in an attempt to enhance income or gains. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that the Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

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

Swap agreements—The Fund may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, total return, and credit default swap


63


Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

agreements. The Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.

The Fund may enter into currency swap agreements with another party in order to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event


64

Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of May 31, 2011 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section “Credit default swaps on sovereign issues—sell protection” in the Notes to portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.

Structured notes—The Fund may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a referenced security or index. The value of these structured notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the referenced security or index. On the maturity date of each structured note, the Fund will receive a payment from a counterparty based on the value of the referenced security or index (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced security or index) and record a realized gain or loss.

Structured notes may present a greater degree of market risk than many types of securities and may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities. Structured notes are also subject to the risk that the issuer of the structured notes may fail to perform its contractual obligations.

Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of assets and


66

Notes to financial statements—May 31, 2011
(unaudited)

liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Concentration of risk
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with related entities
The Fund’s Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS Global AM investment advisory and administration fees, which are accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. UBS Global AM has agreed voluntarily to waive 0.05% of its fees, effective August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2012, thereby reducing the fees to 0.95% for such period. At May 31, 2011, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $172,865 which is composed of $181,971 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $9,106. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, UBS Global AM waived $52,983 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Fund may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $39,329,097. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund did not lend any securities during the six months ended May 31, 2011.

Capital stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 18,258,828 shares outstanding at May 31, 2011. For the six months ended May 31, 2011 and for the year ended November 30, 2010, there were no transactions involving common stock.

Purchases and sales of securities
For the six months ended May 31, 2011, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $113,031,694 and $120,986,908, respectively.

Federal tax status
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2010

Ordinary income   $ 16,053,162

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2011.

As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended November 30, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Tax information (unaudited)

Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual reporting. Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2011. The second notification, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed no later than January 31, 2012. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Quarterly Form N-Q portfolio schedule
The Fund will file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC 0330. Additionally, you may obtain copies of Form N-Q from the Fund upon request by calling 1 888-793 8637.

Proxy voting policies, procedures and record
You may obtain a description of the Fund’s (1) proxy voting policies (2) proxy voting procedures, and (3) information regarding how the Fund voted any proxies related to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 for which an SEC filing has been made, without charge, upon request by contacting the Fund directly at 1-888-793 8637, online on UBS’s Web site: http://www.ubs.com/1/e/globalam/Americas/globalamus/globalamusii/closed_end_funds.html or on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Web site (http://www.sec.gov).

Dividend reinvestment plan
The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless such shareholders elect to receive cash. Shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the name of another broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan.

The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records.


73


Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
General information (unaudited)

An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend/distribution may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of dividends/distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of dividends/distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such dividends/distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such dividend/distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the transfer agent at BNY Mellon Investment Shareowner Services, P.O.Box 358035, Pittsburg, PA 15252-8035. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-866-352 5528.

Distribution policy
The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in May 1998, which was revised effective January 2000, in May 2005, effective August 2009 and effective June, 2011. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from January 2000 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 10% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 10% to 8% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. The Board approved a further reduction in the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 8% to 7% in July 2009, effective beginning with the August 2009 monthly distribution. The Board again approved a further reduction in the annualized rate of distribution pursuant to the policy from 7% to 6% in May 2011, effective beginning with the June 2011 monthly distribution. From May 31, 1998 through January 2000, the Fund’s managed distribution was 8% of the Fund’s net asset value as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of the month. Prior to May 31, 1998, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses.

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