November 1, 2007
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund) for the six-month period ended September 30, 2007.
During the period, a weakening U.S. dollar helped international equity markets to perform in line with the domestic equity market. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) advanced 8.72% in U.S. dollar-denominated returns while the S&P 500 Index returned 8.44% . The broad bond market was also positive, with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returning 2.31% .
If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds shareholder servicing agent at (800) 331-1710. In addition, a wide range of information and resources is available on our Web site, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.
Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds investment manager, and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Funds sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.
We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.
Sincerely,
Hans W. Kertess | Brian S. Shlissel |

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics |
September 30, 2007 (unaudited) |
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund returned 3.79% on net asset value (NAV) and (6.26)% on market price. The Funds exposure to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) delivered positive returns during the period. The Funds equity option strategy, which involves exposure to domestic equities through the ownership of S&P 500 futures contracts, was a positive contributor to performance due to option premiums collected on written call options. The Funds fixed income positions had an average duration of 1.8 years during the |
reporting period, which contributed
to returns as relevant rates fell. U.S. Treasury yields in the two-year
portion of the yield curve fell to 4.05%, as the Federal Reserve lowered
the Federal Funds rate by 0.50%. The
Funds fixed income portfolio emphasized
high-quality mortgages, which provided additional income over treasuries
during the reporting period. Overall, the sector detracted from price
performance as mortgage prices came under pressure due to escalated volatility
and a flight-to-quality effect. The Funds exposure to emerging market debt contributed to returns throughout the reporting period. After reaching historic low levels in mid-June, |
emerging market spreads widened to 12-month high levels in mid-September and ended the six-month period with unfavorable price returns. Elevated risk aversion, due in part to sub-prime mortgage turmoil, lowered prices of emerging market bonds and other credit-sensitive assets. High Yield bond holdings, approximately 20%
of investments, provided income during the reporting period. |

Rating (as a % of total investments) |

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of each specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all of the Funds income dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized fiscal year to date (six months ended September 30, 2007) dividends to shareholders by the market price per share at September 30, 2007.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund), was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 16, 2005. Prior to commencing operations on May 31, 2005, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, and the sale and issuance of 4,189 shares of beneficial interest at an aggregate price of $100,012 to Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global. Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common stock authorized.
The Funds investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently intends to gain substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index). The Fund also will employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Funds gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Typically, substantially all the Funds assets will be invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the Interpretation). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Fund management has determined that its evaluation of the Interpretation has resulted in no impact to the Funds financial statements at September 30, 2007.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. Adoption of SFAS 157 requires the use of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, the Fund is in the process of reviewing SFAS 157 against its current valuation policies to determine future applicability.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been asserted. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio
securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily
available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial
instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event
occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued,
in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including
certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities
whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments, including
over-the-counter options, are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent
pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the
exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted mean
price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary
market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing
services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values
obtained from

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The Funds investments in senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans) for which a secondary market exists will be valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked prices in the market for such Senior Loans, as provided by an independent pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value pursuant to procedures approved by the Funds Board of Trustees, which include consideration and evaluation of: (1) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants; (2) the term of the Senior Loan; (3) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any; (4) recent prices in the market for loans of similar quality, coupon rate, and period until next interest rate reset and maturity; and (5) general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The Funds net asset value is determined daily as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities
using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility and other fee income (such as origination fees) received by the Fund are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Commitment
fees received by the Fund relating to unfunded purchase commitments are deferred and amortized to facility fee income over the period of the commitment.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
(d) Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund declares dividends monthly to shareholders. Distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Fund records dividends
and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of
dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital
gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These book-tax differences
are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings
and profits for federal income tax purposes; they are reported as dividends and/or
distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
(e) Futures Contracts
A
futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial
instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract,
the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities
equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the
contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and
are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the
contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value
at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded
is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk
of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts,
interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Option Transactions
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as a part of its investment strategy. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a
premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same
manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from the securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums
paid.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received 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 transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing a security at a price different from the current market value.
(g) Interest Rate/Credit Default/Total Return Swaps
The
Fund enters into interest rate, credit default and total return swap contracts
(swaps) for investment purposes, to manage its interest rate and
credit risk or to add leverage.
As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer on the referenced obligation. In return, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) and or change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return on the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Funds Statement of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/ delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.

September 30, 2007 (unaudited) |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Entering into swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.
(h) Senior Loans
The
Fund purchases assignments of Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured
by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other
financial institution (the Agent) for a
lending syndicate of financial institutions (the Lender). When purchasing
an assignment, the Fund succeeds all the rights and obligations under the loan
agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments
may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees
and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser
of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the
assigning Lender.
(i) Repurchase Agreements
The
Fund enters into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage
firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell at an agreed
upon price and date (repurchase agreements).
Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements.
Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S.
government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the custodian
bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase
agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event
of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of
the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(j) Reverse Repurchase Agreements
In
a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer
and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed date and price.
Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and
reinvest all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved
during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to
the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are
advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction
is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. Unless
the Fund covers its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating
liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), its
obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and
also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds
obligation to repurchase the securities.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the
prevailing exchange rate on the valuation date; (2) purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain or
loss is included in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
Net foreign currency gain (loss) from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates is reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation of investments, call options written and foreign currency transactions. Net realized foreign currency gain (loss) is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(l) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of
hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may also enter these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to
shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the
applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these
contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
(m) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery
taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase
price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net
asset value. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security on a
delayed-delivery basis is sold, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(n) Credit-Linked Trust Certificates
Credit-linked trust certificates are investments in a limited purpose trust or other vehicle formed under state law which, in turn, invests in a basket of derivative instruments, such as credit default swaps, interest
rate swaps and other securities, in order to provide exposure to the high yield or another fixed income market.
Similar to an investment in a bond, investments in credit-linked trust certificates represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the certificate. However, these payments are conditioned on the trusts receipt of payments from, and the trusts potential obligations to, the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the trust invests.
(o) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Fund benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been
invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Fund.
2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
The
Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is
responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable
monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refers to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued
liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings). With respect to any reverse repurchase agreement, dollar roll or similar leveraging transactions, total managed assets includes
any proceeds from the sale of an asset of the Fund to a counterparty in such
a transaction, in addition to the value of the underlying assets as of the relevant
measuring date.
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser), to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, not the Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

6. Legal Proceedings
In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (PEA), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (AGID) and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the SEC and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged market timing arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered and dissolved. None of the settlements allege that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning market timing, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager or its affiliates or related injunctions.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund | Matters Relating to the Trustees |

Management Agreements | |
(unaudited) |
The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and a majority of the non-interested (Independent) Trustees, voting separately, approve the Funds Management Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with the Investment Manager and Portfolio Management Agreement (the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the Agreements) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met on June 13, 2007 (the contract review meeting) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2007.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.
In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Analytical Services Inc. (Lipper Inc.) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives identified by Lipper Inc., (ii) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc., (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.
The Trustees conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or the Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organizations respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given their investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

(unaudited) (continued) |
Based on information provided by Lipper Inc., the Trustees also reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Funds performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Funds management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc.
The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Lipper Inc. peers as to performance and total expense ratio. The Trustees noted that while the Fund was not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper Inc. categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers. Thus, the Trustees, at the recommendation of the Investment Manager, considered the total expenses of the Fund compared to the total expenses of the peer funds, recognizing that the fees for management and administrative services would be subsumed within the total expense ratio.
The Trustees noted that the Fund had significantly outperformed its peer groups median and low returns and had slightly underperformed the peer groups high returns for the one-year period ended March 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that in the one-year total return period, the Fund was ranked second out of twenty five funds in its Lipper category for its asset class. The Trustees also noted that that Funds expense ratio was in line with the high for its peer group and was above the median and the low for its peer group.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers responses and efforts relating to investment performance and the comparative positioning of the Fund with respect to the management fee paid to the Investment Manager.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Fund was generally higher than the fees paid by these other clients of the Sub-Adviser, but were advised that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund is also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Fund was subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Fund was generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Fund, such as meeting a regular dividend.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Fund do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
