AUGUST 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Virtus Global Dividend & Income Fund Inc. is a closed-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act). The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance of of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its Schedule of Investments and, for derivatives, included in Note 2 below. The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Schedule of Investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. | Security Valuation |
Security valuation procedures for the Fund, which include nightly price variance, as well as back-testing such as bi-weekly unchanged price, monthly secondary source and transaction analysis, have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund (the Board, or the Directors). All internally fair valued securities are approved by a valuation committee appointed by the Board (the Valuation Committee). The Valuation Committee is comprised of certain members of management as identified to the Board and convenes independently from portfolio management. All internally fair valued securities are updated daily and reviewed in detail by the Valuation Committee monthly unless changes occur within the period. The Valuation Committee reviews the validity of any model inputs and any changes to the model. Fair valuations are reviewed by the Board at least quarterly.
The Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.
Level 1 | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities). |
Level 2 | prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
Level 3 | prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committees own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are not widely traded, are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
17
VIRTUS GLOBAL DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND INC.
NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
AUGUST 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) (at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets.
In such cases the Fund fair values non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, exchange-traded funds and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, and current day trade information, as well as dealer-supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation, and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Claims are valued by brokers based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, both cash and non-cash assets. The valuation is derived from expected cash flow of the claims and the non-cash assets, which include all real estate, private equity or other securities within the estate. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of the claims are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Listed derivatives, such as options, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for the Fund. The inputs or

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
AUGUST 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. | Leveraged Loans |
The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Funds investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loans with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
AUGUST 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due.
The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased the Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, the Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a Leveraged loans by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.
Note 2. Derivative Financial Instruments
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Funds results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by the Fund.
Options contracts
($ reported in thousands)
An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed-upon price. The Fund pursues an option income strategy whereby it purchases and sells out-of-the-money puts and calls, creating an options spread designed to generate a consistent level of option cash flow which should result in additional yield. The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.
Holdings of the Fund designated as collateral for outstanding written options are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss.
The risk in writing covered call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing covered put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. Writers (sellers) of options are normally subject to unlimited risk of loss, as the seller will be obligated to deliver or take delivery of the security at a predetermined
20
VIRTUS GLOBAL DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND INC.
NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
AUGUST 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the then-market value. However, the Fund may limit its risk of loss when writing an option by purchasing an option by purchasing an option similar to the one that is sold except for the fact it is further out of the money.
For the period ended August 31, 2018, the average daily premiums paid by the Fund for purchased options were $544, and the average daily premiums received by the Fund for written options were $1,103.
Note 3. Illiquid and Restricted Securities
($ reported in thousands)
Investments are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which such securities have been valued by the Fund. Additionally, the following information is also considered in determining liquidity: the frequency of trades and quotes for the investment, whether the investment is listed for trading on a recognized domestic exchange and/or whether two or more brokers are willing to purchase or sell the security at a comparable price, the extent of market making activity in the investment and the nature of the market for investment. Restricted securities are illiquid securities, as defined above, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category, except where defined as illiquid. The Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
At August 31, 2018, the Fund did not hold any securities that were illiquid or restricted.
Note 4. Regulatory Matters And Litigation
From time to time, Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC (VIA), the Funds Adviser, Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management Co. (KAR) and Newfleet Asset Management LLC (Newfleet) the Funds subadvisers and/or their respective affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their products and other activities. At this time, the Funds Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
