Shareholder Letter

March 31, 2007

To Our Shareholders:

The underlying value of the Clough Global Allocation Fund, defined as the change in net asset value adjusted for reinvested distributions over the period, rose 1.6% during the year ending March 31, 2007. During this period, the Fund distributed $2.15 per share. The market price of the shares closed March 31, 2007 at $20.82, selling at a 7.9% discount to the Fund’s net asset value of $22.61.

As of March 31, 2007 the Fund had nearly 75% of its assets in common stocks with the balance of assets primarily invested in yield oriented securities. Within our equity holdings, slightly more than half the Fund’s investments are in firms located outside of the United States. The Fund’s largest fixed income portfolio exposure was to high quality government and agency bonds issued in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Australia. The Fund also had smaller positions in asset-backed and corporate fixed income securities. Outside the US, our equity investments continue to be concentrated in Asian markets, as well as in the global energy and financial sectors. These investments are described in greater detail below.

As noted in the prospectus, we use a highly focused thematic approach to managing the Fund. Our themes are global in scope and largely focused on shortages or non-U.S. markets where rapid gains in profitability are occurring. Our current investment themes are somewhat more diversified than they have been in the past and the following commentary lists them roughly in the order of their importance to the current portfolio. Our major themes at the moment are energy, growth in Asia and Brazil and growth in global finance and wealth management. In addition, the Fund has smaller thematic exposure to precious metals, health care and selectively, technology.

Energy stocks for the most part have stagnated for nearly a year but many, such as global service leaders like Schlumberger Corp., and the oil and gas producers, are acting well again. Emotionally laced arguments over the possibility global oil production is peaking continue to swirl in the media, but the world’s crude supply demand balance is once again visibly tightening. Demand has risen more than 1.1 million barrels per day over the past year despite warm winters in North America and Europe, and production estimates for many producers have continued to decline, reflecting delays and cost overruns in the efforts to develop new fields. Asian demand for oil and gas has not flinched and global inventories are being worked down. A recent Wall Street Journal article described the rapid production decline in Mexico’s Cantrell field, North America’s largest. Saudi Arabia operates twice as many rigs as it did two years ago yet struggles to increase production. These observations support our belief that companies with long lived oil and gas reserves in politically safe areas are cheap, and in fact, rare commodities. We have also buttressed our oil and gas holdings with investments in specialized uranium producers. Nuclear energy is reemerging and long term uranium supplies are also limited.

Several Wall Street analysts have noted that if the offshore drillers, which are holdings of the Fund, ever paid out their excess earnings in dividends, the stocks could rise significantly. This has already happened to the stocks of gas pipeline and shipping companies once they reorganized as dividend paying master trusts. The offshore rig stocks sell at 6–7 times 2008 earnings and offer visibility out to 2010–2011. Much of the remainder of the world’s energy infrastructure is well beyond its design life and will have to be replaced if needed supplies are to emerge, so we continue to seek strong, diversified companies in the sector.

Our Asian and Latin American themes are based on the fact that American consumers are being slowed by high debt loads but consumers in Asia and Latin America are underleveraged and beginning to catch on to the possibilities of leveraged consumption. In addition the infrastructure boom in most emerging nations appears to be just getting underway. For that reason we think a lengthy slowdown in the U.S. will have little impact on growth abroad. In both developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. we continue to find a good combination of value and growth. Our Asian property and consumer themes seem to be working. Property values in Asia have not inflated anywhere near the extent they have in North America or Europe and interest rates are low. Downtown vacancy rates in Seoul, Korea are 2% and interest rates are declining. Taiwan appears to be a particularly cheap market with a 4% yield in a strong currency and offers world class technology companies capable of benefiting from a Microsoft Vista based PC cycle. We are also investing in Indonesia and Malaysia, both of which should benefit from global commodities cycles and proximity to China.

Our investments in Brazilian banks have also come back to life after a long correction. Private banking is a growth industry as that economy develops its first credit card and mortgage cycles. We are searching for more investments in Brazil and have added Brazilian homebuilding stocks to the portfolio. Liquidity will continue to build in Brazil, which boasts not only a large, vibrant economy and a fast growing middle class, but declining interest rates.

In the financial sector, the global wealth management business generates double digit growth, and the companies sell at very modest P/E ratios. We see opportunity in high dividend paying stocks like Citigroup, UBS Corp. and Barclay’s PLC, all of which also have wealth management or broker dealer exposure. In the pure broker-dealer sector, we have recently added Merrill Lynch & Co. and Morgan Stanley in the portfolio.

The Fund has positions in precious and industrial metals stocks despite a likely U.S. economic slowdown. A highly indebted U.S. economy is entering what is likely to be a chronic period of lower spending. Debt limits the extent to which interest rates can rise, and we think will likely lead the Fed to reduce interest rates later in 2007. In the meantime, dollar buying by exporting nations to limit the rise of their currencies further inflates global liquidity. Those dollars are not only used to buy U.S. securities, but they serve as reserves for debt expansion in the exporting countries. Securities held by the U.S. Federal Reserve for non-U.S. accounts rose 37% over the past twelve months, a number some might take as a sign of excess liquidity. That supports our contention a U.S. slowdown is unlikely to have much effect elsewhere, particularly in emerging Asia where nations are evolving their own consumer economies and far more viable banking systems. Despite persistent predictions of economic slowing in China and the rest of Asia, growth has continued to power ahead.

The rapid rise in global credit is supporting demand for precious and industrial metals. The Fund’s holdings in the gold and silver trusts are complemented by exposure to the two rarest of all metals, platinum and palladium, via a holding in the leading producer. The recent Supreme Court ruling ordering the EPA to reconsider its refusal to regulate greenhouse gas emissions adds to political pressure to limit emissions for new cars and trucks. That is sure to increase demand for platinum and palladium. Few companies are exposed to these metals and their capitalizations are small, adding to their upside potential. The coming platinum based ETF likely will only intensify demand for this rare metal.

The Fund has technology and media exposure, largely in selective Internet stocks where we see value for the first time, and more selectively in the computer and semiconductor industries, such as Qualcomm, a major beneficiary of the wireless telephone migration to G3 and EBay, which has developed several side car businesses that augment its traditional Internet auction business.

As the sub-prime mortgage implosion continues to slow credit growth, borrowing and spending will likely slow and sooner or later the Fed will be reducing interest rates. Timing that event is difficult. However the economy will enter the coming decline with a substantially higher debt load and the next cycle, it appears, will be more difficult to catalyze. The Fed began cutting interest rates in January of 2001 but it was late 2003 before the cuts began to help the economy. It took a 1% Fed Funds rate to do that and we think rates could ultimately decline even further in this cycle.

We have continued to use short positions in consumer based financial and durables stocks and put spreads on market indexes like the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 to protect the Fund during periods of volatility like the present. These hedges helped sustain the Fund’s value during the sell-offs, but hold it back a bit when the market advances strongly. Nevertheless we think it is good insurance and allows us to hold large long positions in our major themes. A G7 slowdown would be a financial market bullish event in our view since growth in China, other Asian countries, and Brazil would be even more attractive as a destination for the world’s investment flows. It would also support metals demand.

Our investments in the Japanese economic revival have not been profitable for some time and recent weakness by the banking and brokerage stocks in that market could be a signal that good performance by that market is a ways off. We have thus reduced the Fund’s exposure to Japan. Our fundamental view has not changed and we continue to believe that market offers tremendous opportunity for industry consolidation and value, but that theme has been stagnant for the better part of a year, and that has been a drag on the Fund’s performance. Japan needs a catalyst to remerge as a leading market. Nevertheless it is a highly liquid market and the Fund is flexible enough to allow us to become more aggressive once it is apparent that market will reflect the value we see there. In the meantime we can find many stocks in Asia that offer equal value and appear far more timely.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Clough Global Allocation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Clough Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and the period from June 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clough Global Allocation Fund as of March 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended and the period from June 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Total investment return on net asset value excludes a sales load of $0.90 per share for the period, effectively reducing the net asset value at issuance from $20.00 to $19.10.Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment returns do not reflect brokerage commissions on the purchase or sale of the Fund’s common shares. Total investment returns for less than a full year are not annualized. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results

(2) Annualized

(3) Ratios do not reflect dividend payments to preferred shareholders.

(4) Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (excluding Preferred Shares) from the Fund’s total assets and dividing by the number of preferred shares outstanding

(5) Based on monthly prices.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2007

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND OPERATING POLICIES

Clough Global Allocation Fund is a closed-end management investment company (the “Fund”) that was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware by an Amended Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 27, 2004. The Fund is a non-diversified series with an investment objective to provide a high level of total return. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees may authorize separate classes of shares of beneficial interest.

Security Valuation: The net asset value per Share of the Fund is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the American Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). Trading may take place in foreign issues held by the Fund at times when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may change at times when it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of the Fund. Securities held by the fund for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price or if traded on the over-the-counter market, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on such day. Over-the-counter securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based upon the closing price. Debt securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market are normally valued on the basis of prices furnished by one or more pricing services at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices. As authorized by the Trustees, debt securities (other than short-term obligations) may be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of securities. Short-term obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value, unless the Trustees determine that under particular circumstances such method does not result in fair value. Over-the-counter options are valued at the mean between bid and asked prices provided by dealers. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges and exchange-traded options are valued at closing settlement prices. Securities for which there is no such quotation or valuation and all other assets are valued at fair value in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

Foreign Securities: The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that the Fund executes a foreign security transaction, the Fund will generally enter into a forward foreign currency contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included with the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Options: The Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option among others, is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Written and purchased options are non- income producing securities.

Written option activity as of March 31, 2007 was as follows:

Short Sales: The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.

Income Taxes: The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund intends to make a level dividend distribution each quarter to Common Shareholders after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings or dividends on any outstanding preferred shares. The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board of Trustees from time to time. Any net capital gains earned by the Fund are distributed at least annually to the extent necessary to avoid federal income and excise taxes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The Fund has applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for

an exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder permitting the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains, provided that the distribution policy of the Fund with respect to its Common Shares calls for periodic (e.g., quarterly/monthly) distributions in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the Fund’s average net asset value over a specified period of time or market price per common share at or about the time of distribution or pay-out of a level dollar amount.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the highest cost basis for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation format.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FASB Interpretation No. 48 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Valuation Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

2. TAXES

Classification of Distributions: Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Fund during the periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were as follows:

	2007		2006
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income	$	17,234,939	$	18,882,699
Long-Term Capital Gain	9,836,436		1,400,296
Total	$	27,071,375	$	20,282,995

Components of Earnings: Tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from composition of net assets reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, for the period ended March 31, 2007, certain differences were reclassified. The Fund decreased accumulated net investment loss by $17,134,727, decreased accumulated net realized gain by $17,134,730 and increased paid in capital by $3. These differences were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of foreign currency and certain other investments and the tax treatment of distributions.

As of March 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	6,961,453
Accumulated net realized gain	7,620,961
Unrealized appreciation	21,067,231
Other Cumulative Effect of Timing Differences	(275,129		)
Total	$	35,374,516

Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments based on federal tax cost as of March 31, 2007, were as follows:

Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)	$	26,082,254
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)	(5,545,527		)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	20,536,727
Cost of investments for income tax purpose	$	320,765,817

3. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

Common Shares: There are an unlimited number of no par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized. Of the 10,434,606 common shares outstanding on March 31, 2007, ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) owned 5,236 shares.

Transactions in common shares were as follows:

	For the	For the
	Year Ended	Period Ended
	March 31, 2007	March 31, 2006
Common shares outstanding - beginning of period	10,169,924	9,877,834
Common shares issued as reinvestment of dividends	264,682	292,090
Common shares outstanding - end of period	10,434,606	10,169,924

Preferred Shares: On September 15, 2004, the Fund’s Board of Trustees authorized the issuance of an unlimited number of no par value preferred shares, in addition to the existing common shares, as part of the Fund’s leverage strategy. Preferred shares issued by the Fund have seniority over the common shares.

The Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions while preferred shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation value. Specifically, the Fund is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to maintain an asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares of 200% or greater.

The Fund has one series of Auction Market Preferred Shares (“AMPS”), W28. On December 1, 2004, the Fund issued 3,800 shares of AMPS with a net asset and liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends. Dividends on the AMPS are cumulative and are paid based on an annual rate set through auction procedures. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. As of March 31, 2007, the annualized dividend rate for the AMPS was 5.27%. The dividend rate, as set by the auction process, is generally expected to vary with short-term interest rates. The rate may vary in a manner unrelated to the income received on the Fund’s assets, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to Common Shareholders. Preferred Shares, which are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote with the Common Shares but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities, for the year ended March 31, 2007 aggregated $597,001,174 and $602,944,372, respectively. Purchase and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, other than short-term securities, for the year ended March 31, 2007 aggregated $29,575,220 and $19,696,602, respectively.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

March 31, 2007 (unaudited)

Unless the registered owner of Common Shares elects to receive cash by contacting The Bank of New York (the “Plan Administrator” or “BONY”), all dividends declared on Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional Common Shares. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by BONY as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by contacting BONY, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional Common Shares for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your Common Shares to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each Common Shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such Common Shareholder’s Common Shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the American Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per Common Share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per Common Share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the net asset value per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in

Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the net asset value per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants. In the case of Common Shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a sale of Common Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, 11E, Transfer Agent Services, (800) 433-8191.

(a)(1)

(a)(2)

As of March 31, 2007, the Portfolio Managers listed above are also responsible for the day-to-day management of the following:

PM Name	Registered Investment Companies	Other Pooled Investment Vehicles (1)	Other Accounts	Material Conflicts If Any
Charles I Clough, Jr.	3 Accounts $2,658.8 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $361.4 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $149.5 million Total Assets	See below (2)

Eric A. Brock	3 Accounts $2,658.8 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $361.4 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $149.5 million Total Assets	See below (2)

James E. Canty	3 Accounts $2,658.8 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $361.4 million Total Assets	3 Accounts $149.5 million Total Assets	See below (2)

(1) Advisory fee based in part on performance of accounts.

(2) Material Conflicts:

Material conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the fact that the Portfolio Managers also have day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to both the Fund and the various accounts listed above (collectively with the Fund, the “Accounts”). These potential conflicts include:

Limited Resources. The Portfolio Managers cannot devote their full time and attention to the management of each of the Accounts. Accordingly, the Portfolio Managers may be limited in their ability to identify investment opportunities for each of the Accounts that are as attractive as might be the case if the Portfolio Managers were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single Account. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where the Accounts have different investment strategies.

Limited Investment Opportunities. If the Portfolio Managers identify a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one Account, the investment opportunity may be allocated among several Accounts. This could limit any single Account’s ability to take full advantage of an investment opportunity that might not be limited if the Portfolio Managers did not provide investment advice to other Accounts.

Different Investment Strategies. The Accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers have differing investment strategies. If the Portfolio Managers determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the Accounts or decide that certain of the Accounts should take different positions with respect to a particular security, the Portfolio Managers may effect transactions for one or more Accounts which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or benefit of one or more other Accounts.

Variation in Compensation. A conflict of interest may arise where Clough or Clough Associates, LLC, as applicable, is compensated differently by the Accounts that are managed by the Portfolio Managers. If certain Accounts pay higher management fees or performance-based incentive fees, the Portfolio Managers might be motivated to prefer certain Accounts over others. The Portfolio Managers might also be motivated to favor Accounts in which they have a greater ownership interest or Accounts that are more likely to enhance the Portfolio Managers’ performance record or to otherwise benefit the Portfolio Managers.

Selection of Brokers. The Portfolio Managers select the brokers that execute securities transactions for the Accounts that they supervise. In addition to executing trades, some brokers provide the Portfolio Managers with research and other services which may require the payment of higher brokerage fees than might otherwise be available. The Portfolio Managers’ decision as to the selection of brokers could yield disproportionate costs and benefits among the Accounts that they manage, since the research and other services provided by brokers may be more beneficial to some Accounts than to others.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager Compensation as of March 31, 2007.

The Portfolio Managers each receive a fixed base salary from Clough. The base salary for each Portfolio Manager is typically determined based on market factors and the skill and experience of each Portfolio Manager. Additionally, Clough distributes its annual net profits to the three Portfolio Managers, with Mr. Clough receiving a majority share and the remainder being divided evenly between Mr. Brock and Mr. Canty.

(a)(4) Dollar Range of Securities Owned as of March 31, 2007.

Portfolio Manager		Dollar Range of Global Allocation Securities Held in Registrant (1)
