Business Wire
Today, Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund,
Inc. (the “Fund”), a New York Stock Exchange–listed closed-end fund
trading under the symbol “DGF,” declares a monthly dividend of
$0.0575 per share. This dividend is payable August 27, 2010, to
shareholders of record at the close of business on August 13, 2010.
The ex-dividend date will be August 11, 2010.
The Fund is a diversified, closed-end fund. The primary
investment objective is to seek high current income; capital
appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve
its objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least
50% of its total assets in income-generating equity securities,
including dividend-paying common stocks, convertible securities,
preferred stocks, and other equity-related securities of U.S. and
foreign issuers. Up to 50% of the Fund’s total assets may be
invested in nonconvertible debt securities consisting primarily of
government and high yield, high risk corporate bonds of U.S. and
foreign issuers.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest: (1) at
least 50% of its total assets in securities of U.S. issuers; and
(2) at least 40% of its assets (including leveraged assets) in
securities of non-U.S. issuers, unless market conditions are not
deemed favorable by the Manager, in which case the Fund would
invest at least 30% of its assets (including leveraged assets) in
securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may not, however, invest
more than 50% of its total assets in the securities of any
developed or emerging markets foreign country.
The Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain
higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund
will achieve its investment objectives.
The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under
the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much
of the distribution as possible from net investment income and
short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then
come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if
necessary, a return of capital. Even though the Fund may realize
current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or
in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years.
For federal income tax purposes, the effect of such capital loss
carryovers may be to convert (to the extent of such current year
gains) what would otherwise be returns of capital into
distributions taxable as ordinary income. This tax effect can occur
during times of extended market volatility. The actual
determination of the source of the Fund's distributions can be made
only at year-end. Shareholders should receive written notification
regarding the actual components and tax treatments of all Fund
distributions for the calendar year 2010 in early 2011.
