Notes to Quarterly Statement of Investments

June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

1.  Significant Accounting and Operating Policies

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

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund.

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

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

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

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

 



 

Options:  In order to hedge against adverse market shifts, the Fund may utilize up to 10% of its total assets to purchase put and call options on securities.  The Fund may also utilize an additional 10% of its total assets to purchase put and call options on domestic stock indices to hedge against risks of market-wide price movements affecting its assets.  When a Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, which is included in the Annual and Semi-Annual reports to shareholders, as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid.

The Fund may also write covered put and call options on securities and stock indices.  When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, which is included in the Annual and Semi-Annual reports to shareholders, as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, 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.

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

Securities Transactions and Investment Income:  Investment security transactions are accounted for as of trade date.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  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.

 



 

Item 2 - Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)           The Registrant’s  Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) within 90 days of this filing and have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of that date.

 

(b)           There was no change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) during Registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 3 – Exhibits.

 

Separate certifications for the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 30a-2(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, are attached as Ex99.CERT.
