We have argued in previous letters there is a good case that equity prices should be performing well on the strength of a powerful recovery in earnings and cash flows and the achievement of pre-crisis profit margins even in the face of weak demand. The economy is burdened by the fact that both consumers and businesses are reducing spending and are paying down debt, but everyone already knows that; a weak economy is no longer a surprise that could suddenly rise out of nowhere and bushwhack the stock market. Aggregate profits may stagnate in a no credit growth world but we have concentrated our investments in companies that have reduced the size of their capital stock to its most productive components and have been able to sustain profitability and build cash.

The biggest surprise to us is the failure of the market to recognize the value of growing cash flow streams, particularly in the technology sector. We think this is about to change. Excess cash is building across a number of industries, but cash hoarding strategies are being proven counterproductive and pressure is building on managements to begin to distribute it. Barron’s and others have suggested that if cash rich technology companies for example, establish rising dividend streams, their equity values would increase substantially. Hoarding cash at zero percent interest rates is a poor capital allocation strategy. It not only leaves stranded capital on the balance sheet, but provides incentives to endless new competitors. In response, the market has awarded many of these companies ridiculously low price-to-earnings ratios.

In the case of Microsoft Corp (MSFT-NYSE) for example, estimates are the company is on track to deliver a free cash flow yield¹ of 10% in 2010 and 12% in 2011. In a zero money rate world, that is an extremely valuable cash stream, yet the company’s price to earnings ratio has declined to 10xs in the face of a not inconsiderable high single digit revenue growth and low teens earnings growth.

We think a market populated with income starved investors will force a change in these cash hoarding strategies, that in a zero interest rate world, our patience will win out, managements will finally wake up and realize they are suffocating the values they are paid by the shareholders to build, and our work in defining strong cash flow companies will pay off. The cash is already beginning to

move. Even Microsoft’s dividend exceeds the ten year Treasury yield, merger and acquisition activity and private equity deals are already reemerging and stock buybacks are likely to pick up.

There has been more talk of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. Such policies might not have much effect on money supply growth, simply because U.S. households in the aggregate are unable to borrow and it takes borrowing to increase money supplies. Nevertheless, market anticipation has helped the S&P 500 (second most widely followed index of large-cap U.S. stocks) rise above 1150 and emerging markets indexes such as the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan² break out above its June 2008 high, making up all of the 2008 – 2009 losses.

We think such a policy is most likely to fuel higher stock prices in emerging markets, where price to earnings ratios³ are similar to that on the S&P 500 but where credit can grow to support high profits. Capital inflows, strong domestic demand, low domestic credit to gross domestic product (GDP) ratios, and Japan’s intent to flood their capital markets with liquidity to halt the Yen’s rise will all likely lend to a liquidity boom in Asia. Many Asian markets have been moving up in recent weeks, something we view as a positive divergence. Hong Kong bank share prices have also been outperforming, another positive indicator.

We continue to find good domestic demand stories throughout Asia. It is easy to underestimate the positive effects of China’s infrastructure investments and its transition to a services based economy. These policies not only improve productivity but create a well trained work force and personal incomes are building. No longer is China overspending on low return steel and aluminum plants, but it is investing in the ability to move its population efficiently and cheaply. During a recent trip to Chongqing, I noted perhaps well in excess of 100 cranes in the ground, but many were simply to replacing old Communist built housing, not necessarily adding to the housing stock.

Not only do we have one of the largest percentages of assets in the Fund’s history committed to Asian markets generally, but a few months ago we added Brian Chen to our analytical staff to focus more on non-China markets such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Brian has twenty years of experience analyzing Asian markets and companies and further illustrates our commitment to having the strongest research effort possible. China’s equity market offers economic dominance of the continent and proliferation of investment opportunities and China’s consumption trends will be the major source of Asia investments for the Funds, but other Asian markets have the advantage that the government is not trying to suppress real estate demand.

Economic indicators out of Brazil also support a fully invested position there. Mortgage loans outstanding rose 51% in August according to Bradesco Equity Research, unemployment fell below 7% and real wages rose 8.1% year over year. Credit growth is rising at double digit rates as a housing expansion gets underway and we believe that the nation’s growth will be underestimated by many investors.

Our holdings of auto related stocks have also trended sideways for several months while the companies have been reporting record profit margins even at depressed sales levels. August auto sales were 11.5 million, still well below replacement levels of perhaps 13.5 million, indicating that profit growth in this cycle still has a long way to go⁴. As the market becomes more confident of the sustainability of current sales levels, we think the stocks will move higher.

Other sectors are also attractive. For example, life insurance stocks are cheap. There is little or no recognition of franchise value and the stocks have discounted a sharp surge in credit risk when none appears likely. Corporate cash flows are strong, corporate debt is being reduced and credit spreads continue to decline. Several sell at 30 – 40 percent discounts to book value⁵ and investors are pricing them as if corporate bonds were as distressed as they were eighteen months ago.

We have added to our mortgage insurance holdings over the last month or so. A number of states’ attorney generals have taken action against a number of banks over concerns regarding the integrity of mortgage loan foreclosure procedures. Many mortgage lenders have temporarily suspended foreclosure activities in response. Our sense is these events only intensify pressures to restructure mortgages where underwriting standards are at issue. This would further reduce the number of actual foreclosures that would trigger insurance payments. Evidence that cures of delinquent mortgages continue to outpace new delinquencies also points to improving fundamentals.

The Funds have been invested in oil production and exploration, both in the companies and the suppliers of their technology since we first began to invest. We have watched these stocks trade sideways for some time but it seems to us the futures curve pointing to higher oil prices as one goes out in time that the most efficient way to hold oil reserve is by holding the producer stocks.

Finally the Fund reduced its exposure to investment grade corporate bonds during the quarter. Spreads had declined in many instances to the point that further upside was limited. We invested the proceeds in high dividend Business Development Companies and mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs). We have also identified selective high dividend stocks in Asia.

We appreciate your confidence in us and endeavor to do the best job we can of investing our clients’ assets. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our funds. If you have any questions about your investment, please call 1-877-256-8445.

Sincerely,

Charles I. Clough, Jr.

Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the opening on the first day and a sale at the closing on the last day of each period reported. 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 price 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.

Clough Global Funds		Notes to Financial Statements


		September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND OPERATING POLICIES

Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Global Opportunities Fund,(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a closed-end management investment company that was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware by an Amended Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 27, 2004, January 25, 2005, respectively for Clough Global Allocation Fund and Clough Global Equity Fund and an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 12, 2006 for Clough Global Opportunities Fund. Each Fund is a non-diversified series with an investment objective to provide a high level of total return. Each 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 each Fund is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York 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 a Fund is not open for business. As a result, each Fund’s net asset value may change at times when it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of a Fund. Securities held by each 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. 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: Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that a 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 each 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 Funds’ Statements of Operations.

A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. Each Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to a Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using prevailing forward foreign currency exchange rates. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or a payable and in the Funds’ Statements of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. There were no outstanding foreign currency contracts for the Funds as of September 30, 2010.

A Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign transaction. Such realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statements of Operations.

Fair Valuation: If the price of a security is unavailable in accordance with a Fund’s pricing procedures, or the price of a security is unreliable, e.g., due to the occurrence of a significant event, the security may be valued at its fair value determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For this purpose, fair value is the price that a Fund reasonably expects to receive on a current sale of the security. Due to the number of variables affecting the price of a security, however; it is possible that the fair value of a security may not accurately reflect the price that a Fund could actually receive on a sale of the security. As of September 30, 2010, securities which have been fair valued represented 0.11%, 0.10% and 0.10% of net assets of Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund, and Clough Opportunities Equity Fund, respectively.

A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Notes to Financial Statements		Clough Global Funds


		September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2010 in valuing each Fund’s investments carried at value:

Options: Each Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option among others, is that a Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, a 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 a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a 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 a 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 a Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund. Each 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 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 was as follows:

Short Sales: Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a 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 a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.

Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities: Each Fund may write or purchase option contracts to adjust risk and return of their overall investment positions. The following tables disclose the amounts related to each Fund’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Income Taxes: Each 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. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, none of the Funds recorded a liability of any uncertain tax positions in the accompanying financial statements.

Each Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Colorado. The statue of limitations on each Fund’s federal and state tax filings remains open for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, March 31, 2009, March 31, 2008, and March 31, 2007.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each 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 a Fund are distributed at least annually to the extent necessary to avoid federal income and excise taxes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for exemption from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 19b-1 thereunder permitting each Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains, provided that the distribution policy of a fund with respect to its Common Shares calls for periodic (e.g. quarterly/monthly) distributions in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of each Fund’s average net asset value over a specified period of time or market price per common share at or about the time of distributions or pay-out of a level dollar amount. At this time, none of the Funds have implemented a managed distribution plan as permitted under the exemption.

Clough Global Funds		Notes to Financial Statements


		September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

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 a 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: Each 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.

Counterparty Risk: Fund transactions involving a counterparty, including but not limited to, lending of securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements, as well as investments in, but not limited to debt securities and derivatives, are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet commitments it has entered into with the Fund. All securities transactions involving counterparties are cleared through and held in custody by each Fund’s prime brokers, which results in concentration of counterparty risk. Each Fund is subject to such risk to the extent that these institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations either to return a Fund’s securities or repay amounts owed. This risk, however, is mitigated by the prime broker’s rules and regulations governing their business activities, including maintenance of net capital requirements and segregation of customers’ funds and securities from holdings of the firm.

Preferred Shares: In April 2008 each Fund announced its intent to redeem all outstanding shares of its Auction Market Preferred Shares (“AMPS”). Proper notice was sent to AMPS holders on or before May 22, 2008, and all outstanding AMPS issued by each Fund were redeemed at par, in their entirety, pursuant to their terms.

Each Fund obtained alternative financing to provide new funding in order to redeem the AMPS and provide up to 33% leverage to each Fund going forward. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the refinancing in April 2008. See Note 6 – Leverage, for further information on the borrowing facility used by each Fund during the six month period ended, and as of, September 30, 2010.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENTS

Clough Capital Partners L.P. (“Clough”) serves as each Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”) with the respective Fund. As compensation for its services to the Fund, Clough receives an annual investment advisory fee of 0.70%, 0.90% and 1.00% based on Clough Global Allocation Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s, respectively, average daily total assets, computed daily and payable monthly. ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) serves as each Fund’s administrator pursuant to an Administration, Bookkeeping and Pricing Services Agreement with each Fund. As compensation for its services to the Fund, ALPS receives an annual administration fee of 0.285%, 0.32%, and 0.32% based on Clough Global Allocation Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s, respectively, average daily total assets, computed daily and payable monthly. ALPS will pay all expenses incurred by each Fund, with the exception of advisory fees, trustees’ fees, portfolio transaction expenses, litigation expenses, taxes, cost of preferred shares, expenses of conducting repurchase offers for the purpose of repurchasing fund shares, and extraordinary expenses.

Both Clough and ALPS are considered to be “affiliates” of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act.

6. LEVERAGE

In January 2009, each Fund entered into a financing package that includes a Committed Facility Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (“BNP”) that allowed Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund to borrow up to an initial limit of $60,200,000, $98,200,000 and $239,500,000, respectively, (the “Initial Limit”) and a Lending Agreement, as defined below. During the year ended March 31, 2010, each Fund and BNP amended the Agreement to increase the borrowing limit on several occasions, subject to the applicable asset coverage requirements of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In April, June and September of 2009 Clough Global Allocation Fund borrowed additional amounts of $11,000,000, $11,000,000 and $7,600,000, respectively. In April, June and September of 2009 Clough Global Equity Fund borrowed additional amounts of $16,000,000, $20,000,000 and $12,600,000 respectively. In April, June and September of 2009 Clough Global Opportunities Fund borrowed additional amounts of $69,000,000, $49,100,000 and $31,300,000. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by assets of each Fund that are held by a Fund’s custodian in a separate account (the “pledged collateral”). Each Fund may, with 30 days notice, reduce the Maximum Commitment Financing (Initial Limit amount plus the increased borrowing amount in excess of the Initial Limit) to a lesser amount if drawing on the full amount would result in a violation of the applicable asset coverage requirement of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Interest is charged at the three month LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus 1.10% on the amount borrowed and 1.00% on the undrawn balance. Each Fund also pays a one time Arrangement fee of 0.25% on (i) the Initial Limit and (ii) any increased borrowing amount in the excess of the Initial Limit, paid in monthly installments for the six months immediately following the date on which borrowings were drawn by the Fund. The Arrangement fee paid by Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 totaled $689,715, $1,129,062 and $2,987,024, respectively, and is included in Other expenses for each Fund in the Statements of Operations. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, the average amount borrowed by Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund under the agreement and the average interest rate for the amount borrowed were $89,800,000, $147,000,000 and $388,900,000 and 1.51%, 1.51% and 1.51%, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the amount of such outstanding borrowings for Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Equity Fund and Clough Global Opportunities Fund is $89,800,000, $147,000,000 and $388,900,000, respectively. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings of Clough Global Allocation Fund, Clough Global Opportunities Fund and Clough Global Equity Fund on September 30, 2010 was 1.39%, 1.39% and 1.39%, respectively.

The Lending Agreement is a separate side-agreement between each Fund and BNP pursuant to which BNP may borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (the “Lent Securities”) in an amount not to exceed the outstanding borrowings owed by a Fund to BNP under the Agreement. The Lending Agreement is intended to permit each Fund to significantly reduce the cost of its borrowings under the Agreement. BNP has the ability to reregister the Lent Securities in its own name or in another name other than the Fund to pledge, re-pledge, sell, lend or otherwise transfer or use the collateral with all attendant rights of ownership. (It is each Fund’s understanding that BNP will perform due diligence to determine the creditworthiness of any party that borrows Lent Securities from BNP.) Each Fund may designate any security within the pledged collateral as



42		www.cloughglobal.com


Clough Global Fund		Notes to Financial Statements


		September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

ineligible to be a Lent Security, provided there are eligible securities within the pledged collateral in an amount equal to the outstanding borrowing owed by a Fund. During the period in which the Lent Securities are outstanding, BNP must remit payment to each Fund equal to the amount of all dividends, interest or other distributions earned or made by the Lent Securities.

Under the terms of the Lending Agreement, the Lent Securities are marked to market daily, and if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by a Fund to BNP under the Agreement (the “Current Borrowings”), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to each Fund’s custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with each Fund’s custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, each Fund will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings. Each Fund can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP shall, to the extent commercially possible, return such security or equivalent security to each Fund’s custodian no later than three business days after such request. If a Fund recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending Agreement, and BNP fails to return the Lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable to each Fund’s custodian for the ultimate delivery of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. Each Fund shall also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair market value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings.

The Board of Trustees has approved each Agreement and the Lending Agreement. No violations of the Agreement or the Lending Agreement have occurred during the six-months ended September 30, 2010.

Each Fund receives income from BNP based on the value of the Lent Securities. This income is recorded as Hypothecated Securities Income on the Statements of Operations. The interest incurred on borrowed amounts is recorded as Interest on Loan in the Statements of Operations, a part of Total Expenses. Total Expenses are used to calculate some of the ratios shown in the Financial Highlights. This differs from the way the dividends paid on the AMPS were recorded in prior years as those amounts were excluded from Total Expenses on the Statement of Operations. This change in presentation, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., can cause the ratio of expenses to average net assets (as shown in the Financial Highlights) to increase compared to prior fiscal years. This is a reflection of how the information is presented on the financial statements, rather than a true increase in the cost of leverage (financing vs. the AMPS now redeemed).

7. OTHER

The Independent Trustees of each Fund receive from each Fund a quarterly retainer of $3,500 and an additional $1,500 for each board meeting attended. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of each Fund receives a quarterly retainer from each Fund of $4,200 and an additional $1,800 for each board meeting attended. The Chairman of the Audit Committee of each Fund receives a quarterly retainer from each Fund of $3,850 and an additional $1,650 for each board meeting attended.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2010 through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements, and determined that there were no other material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan		Clough Global Funds


		September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

Unless the registered owner of Common Shares elects to receive cash by contacting The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Plan Administrator” or “BNY Mellon”), all dividends declared on Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in each 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 BNY Mellon as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by contacting BNY Mellon, 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 a 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 a 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 a 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.

Each 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, each 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 Mellon, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, 11E, Transfer Agent Services, 800 433–8191.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

On July 14, 2010, the Board of Trustees of each Fund met in person to, among other things, review and consider the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. In its consideration of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered in general the nature, quality and scope of services to be provided by Clough.

Prior to the beginning of their review of the Advisory Agreements, counsel to the Funds, who also serves as independent counsel to the non-interested Trustees, discussed with the Trustees their fiduciary responsibilities in general and also specifically with respect to the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

Representatives from Clough presented Clough’s materials regarding consideration of renewal of the Advisory Agreements. The Board noted that included in the Board materials were responses by Clough to a questionnaire drafted by legal counsel to the Fund to assist the Board in evaluating whether to renew the Advisory Agreements (the “15(c) Materials”). The Board noted that the 15(c) Materials were extensive, and included information relating to each Fund’s investment results; portfolio composition; advisory fee and expense comparisons; financial information regarding Clough; descriptions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; information about the personnel providing investment management services to the Funds; and the nature of services provided under the Advisory Agreements.

The Board reviewed the organizational structure of Clough and the qualifications of Clough and its principals to act as each Fund’s adviser. The Board considered the professional experience of the portfolio managers, including the biographies of Charles I. Clough, Jr., Eric A. Brock and James E. Canty, emphasizing that Mr. Clough, Mr. Brock, and Mr. Canty each had substantial experience as an investment professional. The Trustees, all of whom currently serve as Trustees for the Funds, acknowledged their familiarity with the expertise and standing in the investment community of Messrs. Clough, Brock and Canty, and their satisfaction with the expertise of Clough and the services provided by Clough to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the portfolio management team was well qualified to serve the Funds in those functions.

The Board next reviewed Clough’s procedures relating to compliance and oversight with respect to Clough’s brokerage allocation and soft dollar policies. The Trustees noted that Clough’s order management systems contain pre-trade compliance functions that review each trade against certain of the Funds’ investment restrictions and applicable 1940 Act and Internal Revenue Code restrictions, and noted the efforts that Clough’s Chief Compliance Officer will undertake to summarize monthly for Clough’s management and quarterly for the Trustees any violations that may occur, as well any other violations detected through the manual monitoring that supplements the order management system’s testing. The Board also noted the adequacy of Clough’s facilities. The Trustees concluded that Clough appeared to have adequate procedures and personnel in place to ensure compliance by Clough with applicable law and with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions.

The Board next reviewed the terms of the Advisory Agreement, noting that Clough would receive a fee of 0.70%, 0.90% and 1.00% based on Clough Global Allocation Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s, respectively, average daily total assets. The Trustees reviewed the fees charged by Clough to other clients for which it provides comparable services. The Trustees then reviewed Clough’s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2009, and its balance sheet as of that date. The Trustees further reviewed a profit and loss analysis as it relates to Clough’s advisory business and compared the profitability analysis to that provided by Clough Capital to the Board in previous years.

The Board discussed the possible benefits Clough may accrue because of its relationship with the Funds as well as potential benefits that accrue to the Funds because of their relationship with Clough. The Board noted that Clough does not realize any direct benefits due to the allocation of brokerage and related transactions on behalf of the Funds.

The Board reviewed and discussed materials prepared and distributed in advance of the meeting regarding the comparability of the investment advisory fees of the Funds with the investment advisory fees of other investment companies, which had been prepared at the request of ALPS by Lipper Analytical Services (“Lipper”.) Lipper’s report contained information regarding investment performance, comparisons of cost and expense structures of each Fund with other funds’ cost and expense structures, as well as comparisons of each Fund’s performance with the performance during similar periods of members of an objectively identified peer group and related matters.

As the Funds are unique in the marketplace, Lipper had a difficult time presenting a large peer group for comparison. The Trustees compared fees from seven (7) closed-end leveraged investment companies versus each Fund’s fees. The investment advisory fee for this group ranged from 0.673% to 1.000%, with a median of 0.979%. The Board noted that as prepared by Lipper, the net total expenses for this group ranged from 0.776% to 1.458%, with a median of 1.183% and the Clough Global Allocation Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s net total expenses were 1.090%, 1.305% and 1.386%, respectively. The Board discussed the other non-management expenses category included in Lipper’s expense ratio components. Discussion ensued and the Board noted that each Fund’s non-management expenses for the latest fiscal year included certain one-time expenses associated with leverage. The Board noted that in addition to the Lipper report, the Board also received from Clough a comparative fund universe. The Board discussed the differences in the total expenses for the Funds as described in the Lipper report versus that prepared by Clough and noted that the Lipper report contained total net expenses whereas the Clough report contained total gross expenses.

The Trustees further noted that the objectives of the funds in the Lipper analysis differed from each Fund’s objectives and policies. The Trustees believed that the Lipper report, augmented by Clough’s analysis, provided a sufficient comparative universe. Nonetheless, the Trustees noted that the Lipper report appeared to contain some inconsistencies that were corrected in the Clough report.

At this point, Mr. Burke and Mr. Canty, both “interested persons” of the Funds, as well as the other representatives of ALPS and Clough, left the meeting. The non-interested Trustees, with the assistance of legal counsel, reviewed and discussed in more detail the information that had been presented relating to Clough, the Advisory Agreements and Clough’s profitability.

Mr. Burke, Mr. Canty, and the representatives of ALPS and Clough rejoined the meeting. The Board of Trustees of the Fund, present in person, with the non-interested Trustees present in person voting separately, unanimously concluded that the investment advisory fee of 0.70%, 0.90% and 1.00% based on Clough Global Allocation Fund’s, Clough Global Equity Fund’s and Clough Global Opportunities Fund’s, respectively, average daily total assets are fair and reasonable for each respective Fund and that the renewal of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
