                                 INTRODUCTION

   This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the respective Boards of Directors (collectively, the
"Board") of AllianceBernstein Global High Income Fund, Inc. ("AGHIF"),
AllianceBernstein National Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ANMIF"), Alliance
California Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ACMIF") and Alliance New York
Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ANYMIF"), each of which is a Maryland corporation
(each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), to be voted at a Joint Annual
Meeting of Stockholders of the Funds (the "Meeting"), to be held at the offices
of the Funds, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, on
March 30, 2015 at 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The solicitation will be by mail and
the cost for each Fund will be borne by that Fund. The Notice of Meeting, Proxy
Statement and Proxy Card are being mailed to stockholders on or about
February 23, 2015.

   Any stockholder who owned shares of AGHIF, ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF at the
close of business on February 17, 2015 (the "Record Date") is entitled to
notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponement or adjournment
thereof. Each share is entitled to one vote.

   As permitted by law, only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be delivered
to a Fund's stockholders residing at the same address, unless such stockholders
have notified the Fund of their desire to receive multiple copies of the
shareholder reports and proxy statements that the Fund sends. If you would like
to receive an additional copy, please call (800) 227-4618 or write to Richard
Leahy at AllianceBernstein L.P., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New
York 10105. The Fund will then promptly deliver, upon request, a separate copy
of this Proxy Statement to any stockholder residing at an address to which only
one copy was mailed. Stockholders of a Fund wishing to receive separate copies
of the Fund's shareholder reports and proxy statements in the future, and
stockholders sharing an address that wish to receive a single copy if they are
receiving multiple copies, should also send a request as indicated.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE
STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2015. THE PROXY STATEMENT
IS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET AT WWW.ABGLOBAL.COM/ABFUNDSPROXY.

                                      1



                                 PROPOSAL ONE
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

   Under the Funds' respective Charters and Bylaws, the Board has been divided
into three classes of Directors serving staggered terms of three years.
Generally, one class of Directors is nominated each year by the Board for
election by the Fund's stockholders. For all of the Funds, the terms of Class
Three Directors will expire as of the Meeting, the terms of Class One Directors
will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, and
the terms of Class Two Directors will expire as of the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in 2017. Upon expiration of the terms of the Directors
of each class as set forth above, their successors in that class will be
elected to serve for a term of three years and until their successors are duly
elected and qualify.

   Under this classified Board structure, it would require two years of annual
meeting elections to change a majority of the Board of Directors of a Fund,
although Maryland law provides that stockholders may remove Directors under
certain circumstances, even if such Directors are not then standing for
re-election. This classified Board structure, which may be regarded as an
"anti-takeover" provision, may make it more difficult for a Fund's stockholders
to change the majority of Directors of the Fund and, thus, have the effect of
maintaining the continuity of management.

   At the Meeting, the holders of each series of preferred stock of ANMIF,
ACMIF and ANYMIF (the "Preferred Stockholders") will have equal voting rights
with the holders of the common stock of ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF (i.e., one vote
per share), respectively, and will vote together with the holders of the common
stock as a single class on proposals that may be properly presented at the
Meeting applicable to their respective Funds, as described below. The Preferred
Stockholders, voting separately as a class, have the right to elect two
Directors of their Fund ("Preferred Directors"). The Preferred Directors are
John H. Dobkin and Michael J. Downey and each is a member of Class One of
ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF. While the Preferred Stockholders have the right to
elect the Preferred Directors, they are not standing for election at the
Meeting because the terms of the Class One Directors do not expire until 2016.

   At the Meeting, Marshall C. Turner, Jr., Garry L. Moody and Earl D. Weiner
are standing for election as Class Three Directors of each Fund. Each nominee
has consented to serve as a Director. The Board knows of no reason why any of
the nominees will be unable to serve, but in the event any nominee is unable to
serve, or for good cause will not serve, the proxies received indicating a vote
in favor of such nominee will be voted for such substitute nominee as the Board
may recommend.

   The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by
common and preferred stockholders voting together as a single class is required
to elect a Director. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed
proxy to vote in favor of the election of each of the nominees.

   The business and affairs of the Funds are managed under the direction of the
Board. Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Funds as defined in
the 1940 Act, are referred to as "Independent Directors," and the Director who
is an "interested person" of the Funds is referred to as an "Interested
Director." Certain information concerning each Director and the Funds'
governance structure is set forth below.

   Experience, Skills, Attributes and Qualifications of the Funds' Directors.
The Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, which is composed of
Independent Directors, reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and
skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board, and
conducts a similar review in connection with the proposed nomination of current
Directors for re-election by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a
Director, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account the
contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of
experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Governance and
Nominating Committee believes contributes to good governance for the Fund.
Additional information concerning the Governance and Nominating Committee's
consideration of nominees appears in the description of the Committee below.

   The Board believes that, collectively, the Directors have balanced and
diverse experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, which allow the
Board to operate effectively in governing the Funds and protecting the
interests of stockholders. The Board has concluded that, based on each
Director's experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual
basis and in combination with those of the other Directors, each Director is
qualified and should continue to serve as such.

                                      8



   In determining that a particular Director was and continues to be qualified
to serve as a Director, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of
which, in isolation, was controlling. In addition, the Board has taken into
account the actual service and commitment of each Director during his or her
tenure (including the Director's commitment and participation in Board and
committee meetings, as well as his or her current and prior leadership of
standing and ad hoc committees) in concluding that each should continue to
serve as a Director. Additional information about the specific experience,
skills, attributes and qualifications of each Director, which in each case led
to the Board's conclusion that the Director should serve (or continue to serve)
as a Director, is provided in the table above and in the next paragraph.

   Among other attributes and qualifications common to all Directors are their
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information
provided to them (including information requested by the Directors), to
interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective
business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. In addition
to his or her service as a Director of the Fund and other AB Funds as noted in
the table above: Mr. Dobkin has experience as an executive of a number of
organizations and served as Chairman of the Audit Committees of many of the AB
Funds from 2001 to 2008; Mr. Downey has experience in the investment advisory
business including as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of a large fund
complex and as director of a number of non-AB funds and as Chairman of a non-AB
closed-end fund; Mr. Foulk has experience in the investment advisory and
securities businesses, including as Deputy Comptroller and Chief Investment
Officer of the State of New York (where his responsibilities included bond
issuances, cash management and oversight of the New York Common Retirement
Fund), served as Chairman of the Independent Directors Committees from 2003
until early February 2014, served as Chairman of the AB Funds from 2003 through
December 2013, and is active in a number of mutual fund related organizations
and committees; Mr. Guzy has experience as a corporate director including as
Chairman of a public company and Chairman of the Finance Committee of a large
public technology company; Ms. Jacklin has experience as a financial services
regulator, as U.S. Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund (which
is responsible for ensuring the stability of the international monetary
system), as a financial services lawyer in private practice, and as Chairman of
the Governance and Nominating Committees of the AB Funds since August 2014;
Mr. Keith has experience as an executive of the Adviser with responsibility
for, among other things, the AB Funds; Mr. Moody has experience as a certified
public accountant including experience as Vice Chairman and U.S. and Global
Investment Management Practice Partner for a major accounting firm, is a member
of both the governing council of an organization of independent directors of
mutual funds, and the Trustee Advisory Board of BoardIQ, a biweekly publication
focused on issues and news affecting directors of mutual funds, and has served
as a director or trustee

                                      9



and Chairman of the Audit Committees of the AB Funds since 2008; Mr. Turner has
experience as a director (including as Chairman and Chief Executive officer of
a number of companies) and as a venture capital investor including prior
service as general partner of three institutional venture capital partnerships,
and has served as Chairman of the AB Funds since January 2014 and the Chairman
of the Independent Directors Committees of such Funds since February 2014; and
Mr. Weiner has experience as a securities lawyer whose practice includes
registered investment companies and as director or trustee of various
non-profit organizations and Chairman of a number of them, and served as
Chairman of the Governance and Nominating Committee of the AB Funds from 2007
until August 2014. The disclosure herein of a director's experience,
qualifications, attributes and skills does not impose on such director any
duties, obligations, or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations
and liability imposed on such director as a member of the Board and any
committee thereof in the absence of such experience, qualifications, attributes
and skills.

   Board Structure and Oversight Function. The Board is responsible for
oversight of the Funds. Each Fund has engaged the Adviser to manage the Fund on
a day-to-day basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Adviser and the
Funds' other service providers in the operations of each Fund in accordance
with its investment objective and policies, and otherwise in accordance with
the Fund's prospectus, the requirements of the 1940 Act and other applicable
Federal laws, applicable state laws and the Fund's charter and bylaws. The
Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings eight times throughout
the year. In addition, the Directors may meet in-person or by telephone at
special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The Independent
Directors also regularly meet without the presence of any representatives of
management. As described below, the Board has established three standing
committees - the Audit Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee and
the Independent Directors Committee - and may establish ad hoc committees or
working groups from time to time to assist the Board in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities. Each committee is composed exclusively of
Independent Directors. The responsibilities of each committee, including its
oversight responsibilities, are described further below. The Independent
Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel, and may from time to
time engage consultants and other advisors, to assist them in performing their
oversight responsibilities.

   An Independent Director serves as Chairman of the Board. The Chairman's
duties include setting the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with
management, presiding at each Board meeting, meeting with management between
Board meetings and facilitating communication and coordination between the
Independent Directors and management. The Directors have determined that the
Board's leadership by an Independent Director and its committees composed
exclusively of Independent Directors is appropriate because they believe this
structure sets the proper tone for the relationships between the Funds, on the
one hand,

                                      10



and the Adviser and other service providers, on the other, and facilitates the
exercise of the Board's independent judgment in evaluating and managing such
relationships. In addition, each Fund is required to have an Independent
Director as Chairman pursuant to certain 2003 regulatory settlements involving
the Adviser.

   Risk Oversight. Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including
investment, compliance and operational risks, including cyber risks. Day-to-day
risk management of the Funds resides with the Adviser or other service
providers (depending on the nature of the risk), subject to supervision by the
Adviser. The Board has charged the Adviser and its affiliates with
(i) identifying events or circumstances, the occurrence of which could have
demonstrable and material adverse effects on the Funds; (ii) to the extent
appropriate, reasonable or practicable, implementing processes and controls
reasonably designed to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances
will occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they
do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate
continuously, and to revise as appropriate, the processes and controls
described in (i) and (ii) above.

   Risk oversight forms part of the Board's general oversight of the Funds'
investment programs and operations, and is addressed as part of various regular
Board and committee activities. Each Fund's investment management and business
affairs are carried out by or through the Adviser and other service providers.
Each of these persons has an independent interest in ensuring effective risk
management, but the policies and the methods by which one or more risk
management functions are carried out may differ from the Fund's and each
other's in the setting of priorities, resource availability and/or the
effectiveness of relevant controls. Oversight of risk management is provided by
the Board and the Audit Committee. The Directors regularly receive reports
from, among others, management (including the Chief Risk Officer and the Global
Heads of Investment Risk and Trading Risk of the Adviser), each Fund's Senior
Officer (who is also the Fund's Independent Compliance Officer), each Fund's
Chief Compliance Officer, each Fund's independent registered public accounting
firm and counsel, the Adviser's Chief Compliance Officer and internal auditors
for the Adviser, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and the
Adviser's risk management programs. In addition, the Directors receive regular
updates on cyber security matters.

   Not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, nor can controls
be developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not
be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks.
Processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in
their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of
the Funds or the Adviser, its affiliates or other service providers. Moreover,
it is necessary for the Funds to bear certain risks (such as investment-related
risks) to achieve the Funds' goals. As a result of the foregoing and other
factors, the Funds' ability to manage risk is subject to substantial
limitations.

                                      11



   During each Fund's fiscal year ended in 2014, the Board of AGHIF met eight
times, and the Board of ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF met nine times. The Funds do
not have a policy that requires a Director to attend annual meetings of
stockholders.

   Board Committees. The Board has three standing committees: the Audit
Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Independent
Directors Committee. The members of the Committees are identified above in the
table listing the Directors.

   The function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight
of each Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices. The
members of the Audit Committee are "independent" as required by applicable
listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. During each Fund's fiscal
year ended 2014, the Audit Committee of AGHIF met two times; of ANMIF, three
times; of ACMIF, three times; and of ANYMIF, three times.

   The Board has adopted a charter for its Governance and Nominating Committee,
a current copy of which is available at www.abglobal.com (under "Menu," click
on "Americas," then "Individual Investors," then "United States (US Citizens),"
then "Investments," then "Closed-End Funds," then the name of a Fund (e.g.,
"Alliance New York Municipal Income Fund"), then "Governance and Nominating
Committee Charter"). Pursuant to the charter of the Governance and Nominating
Committee, the Committee assists the Board in carrying out its responsibilities
with respect to Fund governance and identifies, evaluates and selects and
nominates candidates for the Board. The Committee may also set standards or
qualifications for Directors and reviews at least annually the performance of
each Director, taking into account factors such as attendance at meetings,
adherence to Board policies, preparation for and participation at meetings,
commitment and contribution to the overall work of the Board and its
committees, and whether there are health or other reasons that might affect a
Director's ability to perform his or her duties. The Committee may consider
candidates as Directors submitted by a Fund's current Board members, officers,
the Adviser, stockholders (subject to the following paragraph), and other
appropriate sources.

   Pursuant to the charter, the Governance and Nominating Committee will
consider candidates submitted by a stockholder or group of stockholders who
have beneficially owned at least 5% of a Fund's outstanding common stock for at
least two years prior to the time of submission and who timely provide
specified information about the candidates, and the nominating stockholder or
group. To be timely for consideration by the Committee, the submission,
including all required information, must be submitted in writing to the
attention of the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Funds not
less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement for the previous
year's annual meeting of stockholders. The Committee will consider only one
candidate submitted by such a stockholder or

                                      12



group of stockholders for nomination for election at an annual meeting of
stockholders. The Committee will not consider self-nominated candidates.

   The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate
candidates submitted by stockholders on the basis of the same criteria as those
used to consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. These
criteria include the candidate's relevant knowledge, experience and expertise,
the candidate's ability to carry out his or her duties in the best interests of
the Funds, and the candidate's ability to qualify as an Independent Director.
When assessing a candidate for nomination, the Committee considers whether the
individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background,
skills and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the diversity of
the Board. During each Fund's fiscal year ended 2014, the Governance and
Nominating Committee met three times.

   The function of the Independent Directors Committee is to consider and take
action on matters that the Committee or the Board believes should be addressed
in executive session of the Independent Directors, such as review and approval
of the Advisory and Shareholder Inquiry Agency Agreements. During each Fund's
fiscal year ended in 2014, the Independent Directors Committee of each Fund met
seven times. The Independent Directors meet in executive session without
representation of management present at every Board meeting. In the fiscal year
ended in 2014, the approval of the Advisory and Shareholder Inquiry Agreement
of each Fund was considered at the November 4-6, 2014 meetings of the
Independent Directors Committee.

   The Board has adopted a process for stockholders to send communications to
the Board. To communicate with the Board or an individual Director of a Fund, a
stockholder must send a written communication to the Fund's principal office at
the address listed in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders
accompanying this Proxy Statement, addressed to the Board or the individual
Director. All stockholder communications received in accordance with this
process will be forwarded to the Board or the individual Director to whom or to
which the communication is addressed.

   THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR EACH OF THE
NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR IN PROPOSAL ONE. FOR EACH FUND, APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL ONE
REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES ENTITLED TO BE CAST.

                                      14



                     PROXY VOTING AND STOCKHOLDER MEETING

   All properly executed and timely received proxies will be voted at the
Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or as otherwise
provided therein. Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked
on the proxies, the votes will be cast for the election of the nominees as
Directors for each Fund. If no specification is made on a properly executed
proxy, it will be voted for the matters specified on the Proxy Card in the
manner recommended by the Board. Any stockholder may revoke that stockholder's
proxy at any time prior to exercise thereof by (i) giving written notice to the
Secretary of the Funds at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10105, (ii) signing and delivering to the Secretary another proxy of a later
date, or (iii) voting in person at the Meeting.

   Properly executed proxies may be returned with instructions to abstain from
voting or to withhold authority to vote (an "abstention") or may represent a
broker "non-vote" (which is a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that
the broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner
or other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to
which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote). For
each Fund, the election of the nominees as Director in Proposal One requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the
Fund's preferred stockholders (as applicable) and common stockholders voting
together as a single class. Any abstention or broker non-vote will be
considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but
will have the effect of a vote against Proposal One. If any proposal, other
than Proposal One, properly comes before the Meeting, shares represented by
proxies will be voted on all such proposals in the discretion of the person or
persons holding the proxies. The Funds have not received notice of, and are not
otherwise aware of, any other matter to be presented at the Meeting.

   For each Fund, a quorum for the Meeting will consist of the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares
of common stock, and preferred stock, as applicable, of the Fund. In the event
that (i) a quorum is not present at the Meeting for a Fund; or (ii) a quorum is
present but sufficient votes in favor of the position recommended by the Board
for Proposal One (as described in the Proxy Statement) have not been timely
received, the Chairman of the Meeting may authorize, or the persons named as
proxies may propose and vote for, one or more adjournments of the Meeting up to
120 days after the Record Date for that Fund, with no other notice than an
announcement at the Meeting, in order to permit further solicitation of
proxies. Shares represented by proxies indicating a vote contrary to the
position recommended by the Board will be voted against adjournment of the
Meeting.

   The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the stockholders of the
Funds, because the stockholders of all the Funds are to consider and vote on
the election of Directors. Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on
the election of Direc-

                                      15



tors for that Fund and on any other matter that may properly come before the
Meeting for such Fund. An unfavorable vote by the stockholders of one Fund will
not affect the vote on the election of Directors or on any other matter by the
stockholders of another Fund. As described above, Preferred Stockholders will
have equal voting rights with the holders of the common stock of ANMIF, ACMIF
and ANYMIF, respectively, and will vote together with the holders of the common
stock as a single class for purposes of Proposal One and on any proposal that
may be properly presented at the Meeting applicable to their respective Funds.

   Each Fund has engaged AST Fund Solutions LLC ("AST"), to assist in
soliciting proxies for the Meeting. AST will receive a total fee of
approximately $1,000 for its services, to be divided equally among the Funds
($250 per Fund).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
----------------------

   The following Audit Committee Report was adopted by the Audit Committee for
each Fund.

   The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which
may be found on the Adviser's website at www.abglobal.com (under "Menu," click
on "Americas," then "Individual Investors," then "United States (US Citizens),"
then "Investments," then "Closed-End Funds," then the name of a Fund (e.g.,
"Alliance New York Municipal Income Fund"), then "Closed-End Funds Audit
Committee Charter"). The purposes of the Audit Committee are to (1) assist the
Board in its oversight of the accounting and financial reporting policies and
practices of the Fund, including (i) the quality and integrity of the Fund's
financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (ii) the Fund's
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, particularly those that
relate to the Fund's accounting, financial reporting, internal controls over
financial reporting, and independent audits; (iii) the retention, independence,
qualifications and performance of the independent registered

                                      18



public accounting firm; (iv) meeting with representatives of the internal audit
department of the Adviser regarding such department's activities relating to
the Fund; and (v) the Fund's compliance with applicable laws by receiving
reports from counsel who believe they have credible evidence of a material
violation of law by the Fund or by someone owing a fiduciary or other duty to
the Fund; and (2) to prepare this report. As set forth in the Audit Committee
Charter, management of the Fund is responsible for the preparation,
presentation and integrity of the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's
accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal control
over financial reporting and other procedures that provide for compliance with
accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent
registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Fund's
financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

   In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has
considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management and
the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Audit
Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting
firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 114, Auditors Communication with those Charged with Governance, and other
professional standards, as currently in effect. The Audit Committee has also
considered whether the provision of any non-audit services not pre-approved by
the Audit Committee provided by the Fund's independent registered public
accounting firm to the Adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the
Fund is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public
accounting firm's independence. Finally, the Audit Committee has received the
written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public
accounting firm required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule
3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, as currently
in effect, and has discussed the independent registered public accounting
firm's independence with such firm.

   The members of the Fund's Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the
Fund and are not performing the functions of auditors or accountants. As such,
it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to
conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or
procedures or to set auditor independence standards. Members of the Audit
Committee necessarily rely on the information provided to them by management
and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit
Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that
the audit of the Fund's financial statements has been carried out in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are
presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or
that the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm is in fact
"independent".

                                      19



   Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject
to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee
referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee
recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements of the Fund be
included in the Fund's annual report to stockholders for the most recent fiscal
year.

   Submitted by the Audit Committee of each Fund's Board of Directors:

 John H. Dobkin                         Nancy P. Jacklin
 Michael J. Downey                      Garry L. Moody
 William H. Foulk, Jr.                  Marshall C. Turner, Jr.
 D. James Guzy                          Earl D. Weiner

APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS BY THE BOARD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation,
retention and oversight of the work of the Funds' independent registered public
accounting firm. In addition, on the dates specified below, the Board approved
the selection of the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm as
required by, and in accordance with, the 1940 Act. At meetings held on
February 4-6, 2014 (AGHIF) and November 4-6, 2014 (ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF),
the Board approved by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the Directors
of each Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" of each Fund, the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent
registered public accounting firm to audit the accounts of each Fund for the
fiscal year ending, as applicable, March 31, 2015 (AGHIF) and October 31, 2015
(ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF).

   Ernst & Young LLP has audited the accounts of AGHIF, ANMIF, ACMIF and ANYMIF
since the respective dates of the commencement of each of the Fund's
operations, and has represented that it does not have any direct financial
interest or any material indirect financial interest in any of the Funds.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to attend the Meeting, to
have the opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate
questions from the stockholders.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM'S FEES

   The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by the independent
registered public accounting firm for each Fund's last two fiscal years for

performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and are not

Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Service Affiliates"). No
other services were provided by the independent registered public accounting
firm to any Fund during this period.



                                                                               ALL FEES FOR

--------
*  The fees vary because they are presented based on each Fund's last two
   fiscal years and reflect fees for non-audit services for different periods.

   Beginning with audit and non-audit service contracts entered into on or
after May 6, 2003, the Funds' Audit Committee policies and procedures require
the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided to a Fund by the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. A Fund's Audit Committee
policies and procedures also require pre-approval of all audit and non-audit
services provided to the Adviser and any Service Affiliates to the extent that
these services are directly related to the operations or financial reporting of
the Fund. Accordingly, all of the amounts in the table for Audit Fees,
Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees for 2014 are for services pre-approved by each
Fund's Audit Committee. The amounts of the Fees for Non-Audit Services provided
to the Fund, the Adviser and Service Affiliates in the table for each Fund that
were subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee for 2014 were AGHIF,
$30,062 (comprising $8,000 of audit related fees and $22,062 of tax fees);
ANMIF, $21,467 (comprising $8,000 of audit related fees and $13,467 of tax
fees); ACMIF, $21,467 (comprising $8,000 of audit related fees and $13,467 of
tax fees); and ANYMIF, $21,467 (comprising $8,000 of audit related fees and
$13,467 of tax fees). The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision,
to the Adviser and/or any Service Affiliate by the Funds' independent
registered public accounting firm, of any non-audit services that were not
pre-approved by the Audit Committee is compatible with maintaining the
independent registered public accounting firm's independence.
