Global High Income Fund Inc.

 

A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV per share. Alternatively, a fund trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its NAV per share. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding.

Q.	How did emerging markets debt perform over the reporting period?
A.	The emerging markets debt asset class generated very strong results during the 12 month reporting period. The asset class was supported by generally robust demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. Although economic growth in emerging markets countries moderated during the reporting period, it remained significantly higher than in most developed economies. In addition, investor sentiment was buoyed late in the period as the US Federal Reserve Board ( the “Fed”), the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan all introduced new policy accommodation programs to help stimulate growth. While there were periods of weakness in the asset class, typically triggered by macro issues such as the European sovereign debt crisis, concerns about China’s economy and the US November elections, these setbacks proved to be only temporary.

	During the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, US dollar-denominated emerging markets debt, as measured by the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global), posted a return of 16.33%. Local market investments (emerging markets debt denominated in the currency of the issuer) returned 7.25%, as measured by the JP Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified (GBI-EM Global Diversified). We believe local markets’ relative underperformance was not driven by fundamental issues, but rather by stronger demand for US dollar-denominated emerging markets debt, especially during periods of market volatility.
Q.	The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period. What factors negatively impacted its performance?
A.	The following strategies detracted from performance during the reporting period.

• Our overweight to local currencies was not rewarded. We maintained the Fund’s longstanding overweight to local currencies during the fiscal year. This detracted from results as local currencies underperformed US dollar-denominated emerging markets debt. For example, overweights to the Brazilian real, the Indian rupee and Indonesian rupiah were detrimental to the Fund’s performance.
   
• An overweight to Argentine US dollar-denominated debt was negative. While our overweight to Argentina was beneficial at times, overall, it was a large detractor from performance. In particular, debt issued by the country sold off in April 2012 when the government renationalized Argentina’s oil company. Another sharp decline occurred late in the fiscal year when a court ruled that Argentina must distribute roughly $1.33 billion to bondholders when it repays its debts stemming from its 2001 default. Investment sentiment soured given the uncertainties associated with the ruling and whether Argentina would abide by the court’s decision
   
• Underweights to certain countries’ US dollar-denominated debt was a drag on results. In particular, underweights to higher quality countries such as Peru, Colombia and Brazil detracted from performance as they generated strong results given generally robust demand.

Q.	What factors positively impacted the Fund’s performance during the period?
A.	The following strategies were positive contributors to performance during the reporting period.

• An overweight to Brazilian long duration local bonds aided results. The Fund was rewarded for having an overweight position in long duration local bonds issued by Brazil, as their yields moved lower and their prices rose. Investor sentiment for the country was supported by central bank rate cuts that were initiated to stimulate growth. In addition, inflation in Brazil stabilized.
   
• The Fund’s exposure to long duration local bonds from Mexico was beneficial. Demand for this debt was strong overall given the attractive yields and the country’s relatively stable local currency.
   
• An overweight to US dollar-denominated sovereign debt from several countries was additive for results. In particular, the Fund’s overweight to higher yielding debt from countries such as Belarus and Sri Lanka contributed to performance as robust demand caused their spreads¹ to narrow and return to more expected levels.

1 “Spread” is the difference between the yields paid on a government bond (such as US Treasuries) and a security of a different quality, but with the same or similar maturity. When spreads widen, it implies the market is factoring in greater risk of default for the lower rated security; conversely, when spreads tighten, the market is factoring in less risk. Such movements in spreads generally result in changes in market prices for such securities.

• Favoring certain quasi-sovereign bonds² was a positive contributor. In a number of instances, we chose to invest in quasi-sovereigns versus their government sovereign counterparts. In particular, the Fund benefited from owning quasi-sovereigns in Russia, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates, as they offered superior yields, yet comparable risk versus their government sovereign debt.

Q.	Were there any significant adjustments to the Fund’s positioning during the reporting period?
A.	Several adjustments were made to the portfolio during the reporting period. The emerging markets debt asset class declined early in the period given a host of macro issues. With valuations becoming more attractive, we increased the Fund’s overall risk exposure and benefited from the strong rally that occurred at the beginning of 2012. We then pared the Fund’s risk exposure which helped performance when the asset class declined in May. We again added to the Fund’s risk exposure, due to more compelling valuations, and were rewarded given the sharp rally that took place in July and August. Toward the end of the period, we reduced the Fund’s risk exposure as valuations looked less attractive. In addition, concerns about a number of macro issues impacted investor sentiment.
Q.	What derivative instruments had the greatest impact on Fund performance during the reporting period?
A.	Currency forwards and currency options to manage the Fund’s overall currency exposure were among the most commonly utilized instruments. (A currency forward is an agreement between two parties to exchange a certain amount in currencies at a certain rate at a future date.) Despite risk reduction through the use of foreign exchange derivatives, elevated market volatility led to higher losses for overweight currency positions versus gains on hedged currency positions. As a result, overall currency strategy negatively contributed to relative performance.
	The Fund also used credit default swaps (a type of credit derivative) and structured notes to adjust the Fund’s exposure to the debt of certain emerging markets countries, such as Argentina. Whereas credit default swaps were generally used to adjust the Fund’s US dollar-denominated debt exposure, structured notes were employed almost exclusively to gain access to various local markets. The Fund’s overall management of its US dollar-denominated assets, including derivatives, posted a nearly neutral contribution to performance. At the same time, some country allocation and management of local currency assets detracted from performance.
	A separate discussion providing an update on the Fund’s expanded use of derivatives appears in the “General Information” portion of this report further below under the caption “Update regarding the use of derivatives by the Fund.”
Q.	What is your outlook for the emerging markets debt asset class?
A.	We maintain our positive long-term outlook for the emerging markets debt asset class. However, given a number of unresolved macro issues, including the approaching fiscal cliff in the US, the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and slowing growth in most developed countries, we could see periods of volatility in the coming months. Therefore, as discussed, we recently reduced certain holdings to capture profits and reduce the Fund’s overall risk exposure. Should spreads widen from current levels, we would look to add to our risk exposure.
	We have maintained our local currency exposure, although we have become more cautious in terms of local duration exposure given our outlook for 2013. Exceptions are our long duration exposures in Brazil, Mexico and India, based on country-specific events and opportunities. Looking ahead, we believe the gap between growth rates between emerging and developed countries will remain in place in 2013. We feel this should be supportive for the emerging markets debt asset class over the long-term.

2 Debt issued by an agency that has government backing. This distinguishes this type of debt from sovereign debt, which is issued directly by a government.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returns assume, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or on the sale of Fund shares.

*	Non-income producing security.
1	Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At October 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $53,929,580 or 18.57% of net assets.
2	Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At October 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $53,743,406 or 18.51% of net assets.
3	Security is illiquid. At October 31, 2012, the value of these securities and other derivative instruments amounted to $704,557 or 0.24% of net assets.
4	Security linked to closed-end fund or structured investment vehicle.
5	Security held past stated maturity date due to defaulted status. Bond is being traded based on potential future claim.
6	Security is in default.
7	Variable or floating rate security — The interest rate shown is the current rate as of October 31, 2012 and changes periodically.
8	Security pays, when required, a floating rate that is determined annually based on the Argentina GDP.
9	Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities’ principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers’ country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.
10	Rate shown reflects annualized yield at October 31, 2012 on zero coupon bond.
11	Step bond — Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of October 31, 2012. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.
12	The table below details the Fund’s investment in a fund advised by the same advisor as the Fund. The advisor does not earn a management fee from the affiliated UBS Relationship Fund.

Global High Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements

Organization and significant accounting policies
Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on February 23, 1993 and is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with its primary objective.

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments
The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized evaluation systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market close, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM” or the “Advisor”), the investment advisor of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s or instrument’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (”NYSE”).

Certain securities or instruments in which the Fund invests are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. However, if the Fund determines that such developments

24

---

Global High Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements

are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board (or a committee designated by it).

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management Global Valuation Committee (“GVC”) the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Fund’s portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews.

The types of securities or instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund’s portfolio securities and other instruments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic securities or instruments, and when a security is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the “limit up” or “limit down” price and no trading has taken place at that price. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s or instrument’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by an independent third party.

Notes to financial statements
 

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. During the period ended October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the Fund.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions

and options written entered into by the Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of October 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of October 31, 2012, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of the Fund is consistent with the derivative activity during the period ended October 31, 2012, except for forward currency contracts; for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year end. The Fund may be a seller of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements).

Restricted securities
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Investment transactions and investment income
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Foreign currency translation
The Fund uses the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the

28

Global High Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
 

effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

Forward foreign currency contracts
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts“) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund may also use forward contracts in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its assets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.

Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar.

Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Futures contracts
The Fund may use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and to adjust exposure to US and foreign fixed income markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. The Fund may also use futures contracts in an attempt to enhance income or gains. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that the Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/ or liquid securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded as part of Due to or Due from broker for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

Swap agreements
The Fund may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, total return, and credit default swap agreements. The Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

Global High Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
 

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.

The Fund may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will retain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Credit default swap agreements on sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of October 31, 2012 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section “Credit default swaps on sovereign issues—sell protection” in the Notes to portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this

investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.

Structured notes
The Fund may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a referenced security or index. The value of these structured notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the referenced security or index. On the maturity date of each structured note, the Fund will receive a payment from a counterparty based on the value of the referenced security or index (notional amount multiplied by the price of the referenced security or index) and record a realized gain or loss.

Structured notes may present a greater degree of market risk than many types of securities and may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities. Structured notes are also subject to the risk that the issuer of the structured notes may fail to perform its contractual obligations.

Option writing
The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-marked to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

Purchased options
The Fund may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease

Notes to financial statements
 

exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Dividends and distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered 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 federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Concentration of risk
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in US securities. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with related entities
The Fund’s Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. Since August 1, 2005, UBS Global AM has contractually agreed to waive compensation otherwise payable to it to reduce the fee it receives under the Advisory Contract so that it is paid at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets on assets up to $200 million, and at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets on assets above $200 million. This fee reduction “breakpoint” continues indefinitely unless the Board agrees to any change. Additionally, effective August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013, UBS Global AM has agreed voluntarily to waive compensation otherwise payable to it to reduce the fee it receives under the Advisory Contract so that it is paid at the following annual rates:

Average weekly net assets	Advisory fee
Up to $200 million	1.10	%1
Above $200 million	1.00	%

At October 31, 2012, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $518,631, which is composed of $606,562 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $87,931. For the year ended October 31, 2012, UBS Global AM waived $352,082 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Fund may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed

Notes to financial statements
 

that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $11,014,501. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 33⅓% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund did not lend any securities during the year ended October 31, 2012.

Capital stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 21,591,836 shares outstanding at October 31, 2012. For the year ended October 31, 2012 and for the year ended October 31, 2011, there were no transactions involving common stock.

Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended October 31, 2012, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $137,676,385 and $144,112,382, respectively.

Federal tax status
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:	2012			2011
Ordinary income	$	15,338,633		$	29,630,130
Return of capital		—			669,693
Net long-term capital gains		6,013,534			—
Total distributions paid	$	21,352,167		$	30,299,823

At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital and other losses	$	(5,132,899	)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments		14,661,248
Total accumulated earnings	$	9,528,349

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased $2,147,344, accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased $2,209,684, and capital stock was decreased $62,340. These differences are primarily due to paydown losses.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an indefinite period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date.

As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $2,944,865 of capital loss carryforwards to offset current year realized capital gains. The Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards expire as of October 31, 2012.

Qualified late year losses are deemed to arise on the first business day of a Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund did not incur, or elect to defer any such losses.

As of and during the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public
accounting firm

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Global High Income Fund Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global High Income Fund Inc. at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)

Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual reporting. Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2012. The second notification, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed no later than January 31, 2013. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the amount expected to be passed through to the shareholders as foreign tax credit is approximately $41,513. In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2012, gross income derived from sources within foreign countries amounted to $17,270,741. Pursuant to Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, the Fund hereby designates $6,013,534 as long-term capital gains for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Global High Income Fund Inc.
General information (unaudited)

The Fund
Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with its primary objective. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. The Fund’s investment advisor and administrator is UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”).

Shareholder information
The Fund’s NYSE trading symbol is “GHI.” Net asset value and market price information as well as other information about the Fund is updated each business day on UBS’s web site at the following internet address: http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/closedendedfunds.do.

Update regarding the use of derivatives by the Fund
The Fund has expanded its use of certain derivatives consistent with the authorization set forth in the Fund’s registration statement.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of the Fund’s investment strategies. Generally, derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index, and may relate to stocks, bonds, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, and related indexes. Examples of derivatives include options (including, but not limited to, options on futures contracts, on foreign currencies and on swap agreements (explained further below)), futures contracts, forward interest rate and currency contracts, non-deliverable forwards, swap agreements (including, but not limited to, interest rate, total return, currency and credit default swaps), and credit-linked securities. The Fund may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund (e.g., managing portfolio duration, hedging), to replace more traditional direct investments, or to obtain exposure to certain markets.

Derivative instruments involve special considerations and risks, including the following:

Derivatives risk: Derivatives involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other instruments. If UBS Global AM incorrectly forecasts the value of securities, currencies, interest rates, or other economic factors in using derivatives, the Fund might have been in a better position if the Fund had not entered into the derivatives. While some strategies involving derivatives can protect against the risk of loss, the use of derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other Fund investments. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation, the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, and counterparty and credit risk (the risk that the other party to a swap agreement or other derivative will not fulfill its contractual obligations, whether because of bankruptcy or other default). Gains or losses involving some options, futures, and other derivatives may be substantial (for example, for some derivatives, it is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount the Fund invested in the derivatives). Some derivatives tend to be more volatile than other investments, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to market changes. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, including liquidity risk (the possible lack of a secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close out the derivatives) and interest rate risk (some derivatives are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations). Finally, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

37

Global High Income Fund Inc.
General information (unaudited)

Leverage risk: Leverage involves increasing the total assets in which the Fund can invest beyond the level of its net assets, through investment in certain financial instruments. Because leverage increases the amount of the Fund’s assets, it can magnify the effect on the Fund of changes in market values. As a result, while leverage can increase the Fund’s income and potential for gain, it also can increase expenses and the risk of loss. To the extent the Fund is required to maintain assets as “cover,” maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when it takes positions in derivatives involving obligations to third parties, if the Fund were unable to close out its positions in such derivatives, it might be required to continue to maintain such assets or accounts to make such payments until the position expired or matured, which might impair the Fund’s ability to sell a portfolio security or make an investment at a time when it would otherwise be favorable to do so, or require that the Fund sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time.

Swap agreement risk: The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, but not limited to, credit default swaps, total return swaps, interest rate swaps, index swaps, currency swaps and variance swap agreements. Swaps are agreements entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to a year or longer (e.g., several years). In a standard swap agreement, two parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the returns on, or increase in value of, a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements can be less liquid and more difficult to value than other investments. Because its cash flows are based in part on changes in the value of the reference asset, a total return swap’s market value will vary with changes in that reference asset. In addition, the Fund may experience delays in payment or losses if the counterparty fails to perform under the contract.

Structured security risk: The Fund may purchase securities representing interests in underlying assets, but structured to provide certain advantages not inherent in those assets. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument (e.g., the risk related to the issuer of the referenced obligation in addition to the risk related to the issuer of the structured note). Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. If those securities behaved in a way that UBS Global AM did not anticipate, or if the security structures encountered unexpected difficulties, the Fund could suffer a loss.

Illiquidity risk: The Fund’s ability to close out a position in a derivative instrument depends on the existence of a liquid secondary market or, in the absence of such a market, the ability and willingness of a counterparty to enter into a transaction closing out the position. As a result, certain derivative instruments may be less liquid than other types of securities. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell such derivative instruments at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund.

Aggressive investment risk: The Fund may employ investment strategies that involve greater risks than the strategies used by other funds that do not use derivative instruments. UBS Global AM may employ hedging strategies. There is no assurance that hedging strategies will protect against losses or perform better than non-hedging, that hedging strategies will be successful, or that consistent returns will be received through the use of hedging strategies.

Quarterly Form N-Q portfolio schedule
The Fund will file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-202-551-8090. Additionally, you may obtain copies of Form N-Q from the Fund upon request by calling 1 888-793 8637.

Proxy voting policies, procedures and record
You may obtain a description of the Fund’s (1) proxy voting policies (2) proxy voting procedures, and (3) information regarding how the Fund voted any proxies related to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 for which an SEC filing has been made, without charge, upon request by contacting the Fund directly at 1-888-793 8637, online on UBS’s Web site: http://www.ubs.com/us/en/asset_management/individual_ investors/closed_end_funds.html or on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Web site (http://www.sec.gov).

Dividend reinvestment plan
The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless such shareholders elect to receive cash. Shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the name of another broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan.

The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records.

An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend/distribution may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-866-352 5528.

Distribution policy
The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in December 1999, which was revised (1) effective June 2005, (2) effective August 2009 and (3) effective June 2012. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from December 1999 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 11% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 11% to 9% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. The Board approved a further reduction in the annualized rate for distributions pursuant to the policy from 9% to 8% in July 2009, effective beginning with the August 2009 monthly distribution. The Board approved a subsequent reduction in the annualized rate for distributions pursuant to the policy from 8% to 7% in May 2012, effective beginning with the June 2012 monthly distribution. Prior to December 20, 1999, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses.

Monthly distributions based on a fixed percentage of the Fund’s net asset value may require the Fund to make multiple distributions of long term capital gains during a single fiscal year. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission that enables it to do so. The Fund’s Board receives recommendations from UBS Global AM, the Fund’s investment advisor, periodically and no less frequently than annually will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made.

Global High Income Fund Inc.
Board approval of investment advisory and
administration contract (unaudited)

Background—At a meeting of the board of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) on July 17-18, 2012, the members of the board, including the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (“Independent Directors”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory and administration contract (the “Investment Advisory and Administration Contract”) of the Fund with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM as well as the advisory and administrative arrangements for the Fund. The Independent Directors initially discussed the materials provided by management prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Directors also met in executive session after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of these sessions the Independent Directors were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering approval of advisory and administration contracts.

In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, the board evaluated the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates for the Fund and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS Global AM responsible for the Fund and had previously received information regarding the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted that UBS Global AM had approximately $151 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2012 and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had approximately $620 billion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2012. The board was also cognizant of, and considered, the regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS AG, UBS Global AM and certain of their affiliates.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver arrangements for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking the waiver into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”). In addition, management provided supplemental total expense data for the Fund as compared to a fuller Lipper classification peer group (including leveraged funds) as the Fund’s Expense Group may have been too small to make any statistically meaningful comparisons. The Expense Group consisted of the Fund and three other comparable non-leveraged funds. The expanded expense universe included leveraged and non-leveraged comparable funds and increased the size of the comparison to the Fund and eight other funds.

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by funds and such accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS Global AM.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were approximately 10 basis points (i.e., 0.10%) above their respective Expense Group median. The Fund’s total expenses were approximately 25 basis points (i.e., 0.25%) above the Expense Group median. Management noted that the three peers in the Expense Group have narrower investment mandates compared to the Fund; specifically, they invested the majority of their assets in U.S. dollar denominated debt. The Fund, on the other hand, invested in both U.S. dollar and local currency denominated debt, which management believes widens the opportunity set and diversifies the Fund’s risk exposures across multiple interest rate and currency markets. Management also noted that the Fund’s custody fees tend to be higher than its peers due to sizable exposures to local emerging market debt, where custody accounts are more costly to maintain. In addition, the board noted that, in response to its inquiry, UBS Global AM agreed to waive an additional 10 basis points (i.e., 0.10%) of its management fee at the level of the first breakpoint in such fee from August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013, increasing the voluntary fee waiver from 5 basis points (i.e., 0.05%) to 10 basis points (i.e., 0.10%) and extending the waiver at the increased level for another year. (Giving effect to the voluntary fee waiver, until July 31, 2013, UBS Global AM is paid at the annual rate of 1.10% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets on assets up to $200 million and at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets on assets above $200 million.)

In light of the foregoing, including the voluntary fee waiver, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement. Nonetheless, the board determined that it would closely monitor the Fund’s expenses over the upcoming year.

Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2012 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2012. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s since inception performance was above the Performance Universe median, while the Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods underperformed the Performance Universe

median. For the one-year period ended April 30, 2012, the Fund ranked in the 80^th percentile. For the three-, five- and ten-year periods, the Fund ranked last among the handful of funds in the smaller Lipper grouping, but management again noted the differences between the Fund and the handful of other funds. Management noted that, although the Fund’s overweight to local currency debt detracted over the reporting period, it strongly believes that there are more opportunities in this segment of the market than the US dollar block. Management explained that the local debt market is now considerably larger than the US dollar segment, which it believes will present more opportunities as investors are attracted to higher emerging market debt yields, more robust fundamentals, effective governance and stronger economic outlooks than in many developed countries.

Based on its review of the Fund and management’s presentation, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was satisfactory, but determined to continue to monitor the Fund’s performance over the upcoming year.

Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. UBS Global AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders.

The board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee did not contain breakpoints; however, the Fund receives the benefit of a breakpoint via an older fee waiver agreement instituted in 2005 that can only be changed with the consent of the board. The board considered that the Fund’s asset level exceeded the breakpoint as of April 30, 2012 and, as a result, the Fund and its shareholders realized certain economies of scale because the total expense ratio of the Fund was lower than if no breakpoint had been in place. Accordingly, the board determined that economies of scale were passed on to shareholders in the form of breakpoints in the Actual Management Fee.

Generally, in light of UBS Global AM’s profitability data, the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee and the breakpoint currently in place, the board believed that UBS Global AM’s sharing of current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.

Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.

In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

				The [audit ]Committee shall: … 2. Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”)] and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).

All Other Fees: There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 on behalf of the registrant.

Item 6. Investments.

       (a) Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

       (b) Not applicable.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The registrant’s Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the registrant is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the responsibility to vote such proxies to the registrant’s advisor. Following is a summary of the proxy voting policy of the advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY, VOTING GUIDELINES AND POLICY SUMMARY

The proxy voting policy of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) is based on its belief that voting rights have economic value and should be treated accordingly. Generally, UBS Global AM expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act in the service of the shareholders, view themselves as stewards of the company, exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight of the management of the company. While there is no absolute set of rules that determine appropriate corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical behavior, there are certain principles which provide evidence of good corporate governance. UBS Global AM may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS Global AM’s proxy voting policy.

When UBS Global AM’s view of a company’s management is favorable, UBS Global AM generally supports current management initiatives. When UBS Global AM’s view is that changes to the management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS Global AM may not support existing management proposals. In general, UBS Global AM generally exercises voting rights in accordance with the following principles: (1) with respect to board structure, (a) the roles of chairman and chief executive generally should be separated, (b) board members should have appropriate and diverse experience and be capable of providing good judgment and diligent oversight of management of the company, and (c) the board should include executive and non-executive members and the non-executive members should provide a challenging, but generally supportive environment; and (2) with respect to board responsibilities, (a) the whole board should be fully involved in endorsing strategy and in all major strategic decisions, and (b) the board should ensure that, among other things, at all times the interests of executives and shareholders are aligned and the financial audit is independent and accurate. In addition, UBS Global AM focuses on the following areas of concern when voting its clients’ securities: economic value resulting from acquisitions or disposals; operational performance; quality of management; independent board members not holding management accountable; quality of internal controls; lack of transparency; inadequate succession planning; poor approach to social responsibility; inefficient management structure; and corporate activity designed to frustrate the ability of shareholders to hold the board accountable or realize the maximum value of their investment. UBS Global AM exercises its voting rights in accordance with overarching rationales outlined by its proxy voting policies and procedures that are based on the principles described above.

---

UBS Global AM has implemented procedures designed to identify whether it has a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates’ client relationships, marketing efforts or banking, investment banking and broker/dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS Global AM has imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and broker/dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues from influencing its proxy votes. Whenever UBS Global AM is aware of a conflict with respect to a particular proxy, the UBS Global AM Corporate Governance Committee is required to review and resolve the manner in which such proxy is voted.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

	(a)		(1) Name – Uwe Schillhorn Title – Vice President Length of Service – Since 2004
			Business Experience Last 5 Years – Mr. Schillhorn is a managing director and head of emerging markets debt (since 2004) of UBS Global AM. Mr. Schillhorn is a vice president of two investment companies (consisting of two portfolios) for which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager.

Information is as of – January 9, 2013

       (a) (2) (i) Portfolio Manager

               Uwe Schillhorn

       (a) (2) (ii) (A) Registered Investment Companies

                       The portfolio manager is responsible for 4 additional Registered Investment Companies (not including the registrant) totaling approximately $266 million as of October 31, 2012.

       (a) (2) (ii) (B) Other Pooled Investment Vehicles

                       The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 13 additional Other Pooled Investment Vehicles totaling approximately $7 billion as of October 31, 2012.

       (a) (2) (ii) (C) Other accounts

                       The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 12 additional accounts totaling approximately $10 billion as of October 31, 2012.

---

	(a) (2) (iii)	Accounts with respect to which an advisory fee is based on the performance of the account as of October 31, 2012.
		One
	(a) (2) (iv)	Conflicts.

       The portfolio management team’s management of the registrant and other accounts could result in potential conflicts of interest if the registrant and other accounts have different objectives, benchmarks and fees because the portfolio management team must allocate its time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the registrant. The portfolio manager and the team of which he is a member manage the registrant and other accounts utilizing a model approach that groups similar accounts within a model portfolio. UBS Global AM manages accounts according to the appropriate model portfolio, including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest. 
       If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or model portfolio, the registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and accounts. To deal with these situations, UBS Global AM has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all accounts. 
       The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to potential conflicts of interest. UBS Global AM and the registrant have adopted a Code of Ethics that governs such personal trading, but there is no assurance that the Code will adequately address all such conflicts. 
       (Information in Item 8(a)(2) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2012.)

      (a) (3) Compensation.

       UBS Global AM’s compensation and benefits programs are designed to provide its investment professionals with incentives to excel, and to promote an entrepreneurial, performance-oriented culture with clear accountability. They also align the interests of investment professionals with those of our clients. 

       The total compensation received by the portfolio managers and analysts at UBS Global AM, including the registrant’s portfolio management team, has up to three basic components – a fixed component (base salary and benefits), a variable cash component and, over a certain total compensation threshold, a variable deferred component. These are described in more detail below:

• The fixed component (base salary and benefits) is set with the aim of being competitive in the industry and is monitored and adjusted periodically with reference to the relevant local labor market in order to remain so. The fixed component is used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that portfolio managers and analysts bring to their roles.
• Variable compensation is determined annually on a discretionary basis. It is correlated with the individual’s financial and non-financial contribution and with the performance of their respective function, UBS Global AM and UBS as a whole. As its name implies, variable compensation can be variable and is delivered in cash and, over a certain total compensation threshold, deferred.

---

• Variable deferred – employees may have a portion of their variable compensation deferred. The main deferral plan is the UBS Global Asset Management Equity Ownership Plan (Global AM EOP) which vests pro rata over a three year period, subject to continued service. Through the Global AM EOP, awards are granted in the form of some combination of vehicles aligned to selected UBS Global AM funds, UBS shares or notional shares. The vehicles aligned to selected UBS Global AM funds are called Alternative Investment Vehicles or AIVs. UBS Global AM believes that not only does this deferral plan reinforce the critical importance of creating long-term business value, it also serves as an effective retention tool.

       UBS Global AM strongly believes that aligning portfolio managers' variable compensation to both the short-term and longer-term performance of their portfolios closely aligns the portfolio managers' interests with those of the firm’s clients. The total annual variable compensation pool available for distribution is generally dependant upon the overall profitability of UBS Group and UBS Global AM.

       The allocation of the variable compensation pool to the portfolio manager is linked to the investment performance of the registrant versus its benchmark, here a blended benchmark composed of 50% of J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global and 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index – Emerging Markets Global Diversified (in USD) and, where appropriate, peer strategies over one and three years.

       For analysts, variable compensation is, in general, based on the performance of some combination of model and/or client portfolios, generally evaluated over one and three years and coupled with a qualitative assessment of their contribution.

       (Information in Item 8(a)(3) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2012.)

       (a) (4) Dollar Range of Securities of Registrant Beneficially Owned by Portfolio Manager.

                     None

       (Information in Item 8(a)(4) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2012.)

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

There were no purchases made by or on behalf of the Registrant or any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of shares of the Registrant’s equity securities that are registered by the Registrant pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act made in the period covered by this report.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The registrant’s Board has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if a vacancy occurs among those board members who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In order to recommend a nominee, a shareholder should send a letter to the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Richard R. Burt, care of the Secretary of the registrant at UBS Global Asset Management, UBS Building, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606, and indicate on the envelope “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.” The shareholder’s letter should state the nominee’s name and should include the nominee’s resume or curriculum vitae, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders.
