Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) the Fund is furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders on the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies to each shareholder.  The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) tells you how to access and review the proxy materials and vote your shares via the Internet.  If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials free of charge, please follow the instructions in the Notice.  The Notice of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders or the Proxy Statement with the accompanying proxy card, were mailed to shareholders on or about June 9, 2008.

Other Methods of Proxy Solicitation

In addition to the solicitation of proxies via the internet or mail, officers of the Fund and officers and regular employees of The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”), the Fund’s transfer agent, ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”), the Fund’s administrator, and affiliates of BNY, ALPS or other representatives of the Fund also may solicit proxies by telephone, internet or in person.  The expenses incurred in connection with preparing the Proxy Statement and its enclosures will be paid by ALPS.  ALPS will also reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of its Common Shares.

THE FUND’S MOST RECENT ANNUAL REPORT, INCLUDING AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST, WITHOUT CHARGE, BY WRITING TO THE FUND AT 1290 BROADWAY, SUITE 1100, DENVER, COLORADO 80203 OR BY CALLING THE FUND AT 877-256-8445 OR VIA THE INTERNET AT WWW.CLOUGHGLOBAL.COM.

If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting, the Common Shares (as defined below) represented thereby will be voted “FOR” the proposal listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the Meeting and voting his or her Common Shares in person or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy to the Fund at the above address prior to the date of the Meeting.

If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting, but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of such Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.  A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate.  Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those Common Shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.  If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote “FOR” any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted “AGAINST” any proposal against such adjournment.

The close of business on May 27, 2008, has been fixed as the “Record Date” for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and all adjournments thereof.

The Fund has one class of capital stock: Common Shares (“Common Shares”). The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each full share and an appropriate fraction of a vote for each fractional share held. As of the Record Date there were 17,840,705 Common Shares outstanding.

The following tables show, as of the Record Date, the ownership of Common Shares by each of the Trustees of the Fund and persons or organizations known to the Fund to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares.  The address for each Trustee and executive officer of the Fund is 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100 Denver, Colorado 80203.

family have conducted any transactions (or series or transactions) or maintained any direct or indirect relationship in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and to which the investment adviser or any affiliate of the investment advisor was a party.

Trustee Compensation

The Fund pays the Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”) and each Trustee who is not affiliated with ALPS or Clough or their affiliates (the “Independent Trustees”).  The Chairman receives an annual retainer of $16,800 per year plus $1,800 per meeting attended in person and by telephone.  The Audit Committee Chairman receives an annual retainer of $15,400 per year plus $1,650 per meeting attend in person and by telephone.  Independent Trustees receive an annual retainer of $14,000 per year plus $1,500 per meeting attended in person and by telephone, together with the Chairman, Audit Committee Chairman and each Independent Trustee’s actual out-of-pocket expenses relating to their attendance at such meetings.  The aggregate remuneration (not including out-of-pocket expenses) paid by the Fund to Messrs. Boynton, Butler, Crescenzi, Mee, Rantzow, and Rutledge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, amounted to $125,500.  The aggregated remuneration (not including out-of-pocket expenses) paid by the Fund Complex to Messrs. Boynton, Butler, Crescenzi, Mee, Rantzow and Rutledge during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, amounted to $376,500.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund met four times.  Each Trustee then serving in such capacity attended at least 75% of the meetings of Trustees and of any Committee of which he is a member.

Shareholders of the Fund may send communications to an individual Trustee or the Board of Trustees via the Fund’s Secretary.  The Secretary will review the communications and forward suitable communications to the appropriate Trustee(s).

Audit Committee Report

The role of the Fund’s Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of Fund’s financial statements, reporting process, and the independent audit and reviews thereof; (ii) the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; (iii) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (iv) the independent auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance.  The Audit Committee is also required to prepare an audit committee report pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for inclusion in the Fund’s annual proxy statement.  The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) that was most recently reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees on December 12, 2007. The Charter is available at the Fund’s website, www.cloughglobal.com.  As set forth in the Charter, management is responsible for maintaining appropriate systems for accounting and internal control, and the Fund’s independent accountants are responsible for planning and carrying out proper audits and reviews. The independent accountants are ultimately accountable to the Board of Trustees and to the Audit Committee, as representatives of shareholders.  The independent accountants for the Fund report directly to the Audit Committee.

In performing its oversight function, at a meeting held on May 14, 2008, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Fund and the independent accountants, Deloitte & Touche, LLP (“Deloitte”), the audited financial statements of the Fund as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, and discussed the audit of such financial statements with the independent accountants.

In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants the accounting principles applied by the Fund and such other matters brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the independent accountants required by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA , Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.  The Audit Committee also received from the independent accountants the written disclosures and statements required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T and discussed the impact that any such relationships might have on the objectivity and independence of the independent accountants.

As set forth above, and as more fully set forth in the Charter, the Audit Committee has significant duties and powers in its oversight role with respect to the Fund’s financial reporting procedures, internal control systems, and the independent audit process.

The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management, or internal control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the Fund’s independent accountants.  Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards, and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the discussions referred to above with management and the Fund’s independent accountants, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Charter and those discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

The shareholder recommendation described above must be sent to the Fund’s Secretary c/o ALPS Fund Services, Inc. The Fund’s Nominating Committee has not adopted a charter.  If a charter is adopted in the future, it will be available at the time on the Fund’s website (www.cloughglobal.com).

Audit Fees

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements were $28,647 and $26,000, respectively.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $8,000 and $8,000, respectively, were billed to the Fund by the principal accountant for services other than the services reported in the above paragraphs. These services included agreed upon procedures related to the ratings for the Auction Market Preferred Shares.

The Fund’s Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the auditors to the Fund, and all non-audit services to be provided by the auditors to the Fund’s investment adviser and service providers controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser (“affiliates”) that provide on-going services to the Fund (a “Covered Services Provider”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.  The Audit Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman must report to the Audit Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairman’s pre-approval of such services, his decision(s).  The Audit Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Audit Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than the Adviser or the Fund’s officers).  Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser, and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or the Chairman prior to the completion of the audit.  All of the audit, audit-related, and tax services described above for which Deloitte billed the Fund fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

ALPS is the administrator of the Fund, and its business address is 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80203.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, require the Fund’s Officers and Trustees, Officers and Directors of the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund’s Common Shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the AMEX and to furnish the Fund with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on a review of the reports filed with the SEC and upon representations that no Forms 5 were required to be filed, the Fund believes that during fiscal 2008, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to Fund officers, Trustees and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS

The affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast for each nominee by the holders entitled to vote for a particular nominee is necessary for the election of a nominee.
