Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report

January 25, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

Performance Summary
1/1/07 – 12/31/07

Fund and Benchmark   Performance  
Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund1      2.61 %  
Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index2      1.93 %  

 

Market Review: Credit fundamentals remain sound

Although the high yield market posted positive returns for the 12 months ended December 2007, the period was one of contrasts. Initially, a solid economic backdrop, strong credit fundamentals, and growing demand for yield all contributed to the market's strength. However, concerns over sub-prime mortgages, tougher credit conditions, and shelved leveraged buyout deals weighed heavily on the market during the summer months, resulting in a significant sell off. Finally, in response to the Federal Reserve's reduction in interest rates, the market rallied considerably and liquidity improved along with the pace of the new issue volume. More recently, momentum has again slowed amidst liquidity headlines and their potential to cause additional market volatility.

All told, the Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index benchmark posted returns of 1.93% for the year. Lower rated securities lagged the broader market with a return of .43%, while higher quality BB and B outperformed, returning 3.25% and 3.58%, respectively. The average yield spread between high yield bonds and Treasury securities widened 284 basis points to +587 after reaching historical lows (+252) in June.

Against this more volatile backdrop, credit fundamentals (apart from the homebuilding sector) have remained sound. Defaults, reported by Moody's Investor Services at 0.85% for December, continue to hover near ten-year lows. However, Merrill Lynch's Distress Ratio continues to rise and, at 8.7% in December, points to rising defaults in 2008.

While progress was made on the new issue calendar during the fourth quarter, technical concerns relating to approximately $230 billion supply of bonds and loans continue to weigh on the market.

Strategic Review and Market Outlook: Expecting volatile earnings and slower growth

For the annual period ended December 31, 2007, the Fund returned 2.61%, as compared to 1.93% for the Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index.

Leading contributors to performance included an overweight to B rated securities, and underweights to finance, banks and real estate development. Additionally, superior sector and security selection in diversified capital goods, printing-publishing, media-cable, and integrated telecommunications also contributed to performance. The leading detractors from performance included exposure to CCC rated securities, as well as holdings in restaurants, autos, and homebuilders.

In addition to core holdings in the more defensive industries (healthcare, energy, and utilities), we remain relatively constructive on several issuers in the industrial space — particularly those with international end markets. In contrast, given the high energy prices and weak housing data, we are cautious with respect to consumer-driven industries and have sought to limit exposures to those sectors. On the ratings front, we have been adding to positions in higher quality credits and using periods of market strength to pare back exposures in riskier names.

In our opinion, the risk of sub-prime contagion to other sectors of the economy still remains and will be the primary driver of performance in 2008. While we still view the recent market weakness as mainly liquidity-driven, the longer this environment persists, the more likely it is to impact fundamentals. Balance sheets are strong and credit fundamentals, outside of the housing sector, appear intact. We believe, however, that earnings are likely to be volatile and growth will be slower in the year ahead. Furthermore, while new issuance has been well–received and we expect the new issue calendar to be well-managed, the continuing supply overhang may cap returns in the near-term. Consequently, portfolio strategy will be opportunistic in nature — paring back riskier issuers where possible, adding selectively to higher quality credits in the secondary market, and taking advantage of new issue opportunities in the coming months.

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.

International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks, and differences in accounting

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended December 31, 2007.

The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

Annualized Expense Ratios*     0.70 %  

 

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.

  The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007

Note 1. Organization

The Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company that seeks high total return. The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 31, 1998.

The Fund is authorized to offer three classes of shares, Common Class, Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares, although the Fund currently offers only Institutional Class shares.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the price of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign


31



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2007

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.

C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

F) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse") , an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian, or a money market fund advised by Credit Suisse. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At December 31, 2007, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

Forward Foreign
Currency Contract
  Expiration
Date
  Foreign Currency
To Be Sold
  Contract
Amount
  Contract
Value
  Unrealized

British Pound   01/09/08   £ (150,000 )   $ (301,493 )   $ (298,514 )   $ 2,979    
European Economic Unit   01/09/08   (1,075,000 )     (1,521,243 )     (1,571,963 )     (50,720 )  
        $ (1,822,736 )   $ (1,870,477 )   $ (47,741 )  

 

I) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain Credit Suisse-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During


33



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2007

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

the year ended December 31, 2007, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $550,276, of which $487,218 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $51,403 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $11,655. The Fund may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

J) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.

In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent a Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income is earned or gains are realized.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2007, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived


34



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

were $269,742 and $208,202, respectively. Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived or reimbursed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Fee waivers and reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Fund. No compensation is payable by the Fund to CSAMSI for co-administrative services.

For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended December 31, 2007, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $55,138.

In addition to serving as the Fund's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Fund's shares without compensation.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Merrill was paid $29,462 for its services to the Fund.

Note 4. Line of Credit

The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $50 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2007, the Fund had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows:

Average Daily
Loan Balance
  Weighted Average
Interest Rate%
  Maximum Daily
Loan Outstanding
 
$ 1,686,271       5.795 %   $ 6,135,000

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended December 31, 2007, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $17,003,198 and $22,911,706, respectively.

Note 6. Capital Share Transactions

The Fund is authorized to issue three billion full and fractional shares of capital stock, $.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund were as follows:

    For the Year Ended
December 31, 2007
  For the Year Ended
December 31, 2006
 
Shares sold     1,002,345       1,919,076    
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends     310,686       256,608    
Shares redeemed     (1,688,205 )     (784,846 )  
Net increase (decrease)     (375,174 )     1,390,838    

 

On December 31, 2007, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund was as follows:

Number of
Shareholders
  Approximate Percentage
of Outstanding Shares
 
  2       84 %  

 

Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of several individual shareholders.

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income  
2007   2006  
$ 3,262,980     $ 2,672,679    

 

The tax basis of components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred on wash sales, income from defaulted bonds, mark to market on forwards, current year post-October loss deferral and unused capital loss carryforwards.


36



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2007

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes

At December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Fund were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income   $ 27,184    
Accumulated net realized loss     (44,934,835 )  
Unrealized depreciation     (2,635,396 )  
Deferral of post-October capital losses     (188,667 )  
    $ (47,731,714 )  

 

At December 31, 2007, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

Expires December 31,  
2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   2014   2015  
$ 9,989,083     $ 24,516,347     $ 5,397,886     $ 2,626,651     $ 940,567     $ 1,166,759     $ 297,542    

 

During the tax year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund had $1,857,162 of capital loss carryforwards expire.

It is uncertain that the Fund will realize the full benefit of these losses prior to expiration.

At December 31, 2007, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized depreciation from investments were: $50,584,436, $483,788, $(3,119,564) and $(2,635,776), respectively.

At December 31, 2007, the Fund reclassified $297,649 to accumulated net investment loss and $1,559,513 to accumulated net realized loss from investments, adjusting paid-in capital for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions, swap income, defaulted bonds and expired capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 8. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48" or the "Interpretation"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a fund should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Management must be able to conclude that the tax law, regulations, case law, and other objective information regarding the technical merits sufficiently support the position's sustainability with a likelihood of more than 50 percent. During the period ended December 31, 2007, Management has adopted FIN 48. There was no material impact to the financial statements or disclosures thereto as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required in subsequent reports.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, 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 Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc., (the "Fund") at December 31, 2007, 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 years (or periods) presented, 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, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)

In approving the renewal of the current Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, at a meeting held on November 13 and 14, 2007, considered the following factors with respect to the Global High Yield Fund (the "Fund"):

Investment Advisory Fee Rates

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee rate of 0.70% for the Fund ("Contractual Advisory Fee") in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"). The Board also reviewed and considered the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate of 0.09% paid by the Fund after taking waivers and reimbursements into account ("Net Advisory Fee"). The Board acknowledged that voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements could be discontinued at any time.

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Advisory Fee, Net Advisory Fee and the Fund's overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group ("Expense Group") and universe of funds ("Expense Universe") provided by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Credit Suisse. The Board reviewed background information about Credit Suisse, including its Form ADV. The Board considered the background and experience of Credit Suisse's senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by senior personnel of Credit Suisse. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments. The Board also received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered to other Credit Suisse clients for comparable services.

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement
(unaudited) (continued)

Fund Performance

The Board received and considered performance results of the Fund over time, along with comparisons both to the relevant performance group ("Performance Group") and universe of funds ("Performance Universe") for the Fund. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Performance Group and the Performance Universe.

Credit Suisse Profitability

The Board received and considered a profitability analysis of Credit Suisse based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, including any fee waivers or fee caps, as well as other relationships between the Fund on the one hand and Credit Suisse affiliates on the other. The Board received profitability information for the other funds in the Credit Suisse family of funds.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Board considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoint fee structures) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund's asset levels.

Other Benefits to Credit Suisse

The Board considered other benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. Such benefits include, among others, benefits potentially derived from an increase in Credit Suisse's business as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates).

The Board considered the standards applied in seeking best execution and reviewed Credit Suisse's method for allocating portfolio investment opportunities among its advisory clients.

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement
(unaudited) (continued)

Conclusions

In selecting Credit Suisse, and approving the Advisory Agreement and the investment advisory fee under such agreement, the Board concluded that:

•  The Contractual Advisory Fee was slightly below the median of the Fund's Expense Group and the actual expense ratio of the Fund was below the median of its Peer Group.

•  The Fund's performance for all periods was above the median of its Performance Universe and consistently outperformed an index of comparable funds compiled by Lipper Inc.

•  The Board was satisfied with the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services provided by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement are typical of, and consistent with, those provided to similar mutual funds by other investment advisers.

•  In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and Credit Suisse's ongoing commitment to the Fund and willingness to waive fees and expenses, the profits and other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

•  Credit Suisse's profitability based on fees payable under the Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund thereunder.

•  In light of the relatively small size of the Fund and the amount of the Net Advisory Fees, the Fund's current fee structure (without breakpoints) was considered reasonable.

No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.
