PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished to stockholders in connection with a solicitation by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), of proxies to be exercised at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") of the Fund to be held at the offices of Paul Hastings LLP, 71 South Wacker Drive, Forty-Fifth Floor, Chicago, Illinois at 8:15 a.m. CST on May 23, 2019 (and at any adjournment or postponements thereof) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders on or about May 1, 2019.

The persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with your instructions and, unless specified to the contrary, will vote FOR the election of the Class II Director nominees. The close of business on April 22, 2019, has been fixed as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Each outstanding full share of common stock of the Fund is entitled to one vote, and each outstanding fractional share thereof is entitled to a proportionate fractional share of one vote, for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected at the Meeting and one vote (or, in the case of fractional shares, a proportionate fractional share) for each other matter properly presented at the Meeting. Votes may not be cumulated. The number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Fund as of the Record Date is 13,483,223.

Under the Bylaws of the Fund, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast constitutes a quorum. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting or otherwise, the chairman of the Meeting has the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time, to a date not more than 120 days after the Record Date without notice other than announcement at the Meeting.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes," if any, will be treated as shares that are present, but not as votes cast, at the Meeting. For purposes of Proposal 1 abstentions and broker "non-votes," if any, will have the same effect as votes against the Proposal as the required vote is a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting at which a quorum is present. Since banks and brokers will have discretionary authority to vote shares in the


1



absence of voting instructions from stockholders with respect to Proposal 1, we expect that there will be no broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power).

Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them by: (a) written notice received by the Secretary of the Fund at any time before that proxy is exercised; (b) signing a proxy bearing a later date or; (c) attending the Meeting and voting in person (attendance at the Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a properly executed proxy). If you hold your shares in "street name" (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you should instruct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions provided by your broker or nominee.

Photographic identification and proof of ownership will be required for admission to the Meeting. For directions to the Meeting, please contact the Fund at (855) 777-8001 or at publicsecurities.enquiries@brookfield.com. If you are planning to attend the Meeting, please RSVP to publicsecurities.enquiries@brookfield.com at least one day prior to the Meeting.

Stockholders may request copies of the Fund's most recent annual report, including the financial statements, without charge, by writing to Investor Relations, Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc., Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1023. These reports also are available on the Fund's website at https://publicsecurities.brookfield.com/en. These documents have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available at www.sec.gov.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTORS

The Board is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The terms of office of the present Directors in each class expire at the Annual Meeting in the year indicated and when their respective successors are elected and qualify: Class I, 2021, Class II, 2019 and Class III, 2020. Directors elected to succeed those whose terms are expiring will be identified as being of that same class and will be elected to serve until the third annual meeting after their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote at the Meeting (unless directed not to so vote) for the re-election of Edward A. Kuczmarski and Stuart A. McFarland, Class II Independent Director nominees. Messrs. Kuczmarski and McFarland have indicated that they will serve if elected, but if they should be unable to serve, the proxy or proxies will be voted


2



for any other persons determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their discretion. If elected, Messrs. Kuczmarski and McFarland will serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

The Fund's Board has determined that Messrs. Kuczmarski and McFarland, as well as Ms. Heather S. Goldman and Mr. Louis P. Salvatore are each independent under the criteria for independence set forth in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. David Levi is considered an Interested Director. Therefore, upon election of the Class II Director nominees by the Fund, the Fund will continue to meet the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange that a majority of directors be independent.

As described above, there are two nominees for election to the Board at this time. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting, if a quorum is present, is sufficient to elect a director.

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" the election of each of the nominees listed above to serve as Directors until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2022 and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

Information Regarding the Board and its Committees

The Role of the Board

The business and affairs of the Fund are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board provides oversight of the management and operations of the Fund. As is the case with virtually all investment companies (as distinguished from operating companies), the day-to-day management and operation of the Fund is performed by various service providers to the Fund, such as the Fund's investment adviser and administrator, the sub-administrator, custodian, and transfer agent. The Board approves all significant agreements between the Fund and its service providers. The Board has elected senior employees of the Adviser as officers of the Fund, with responsibility to monitor and report to the Board on the Fund's day-to-day operations. In conducting this oversight, the Board receives regular reports from these officers and service providers regarding the Fund's operations. For example, the Treasurer of the Fund provides reports as to financial reporting matters, and investment personnel of the Adviser report on the Fund's investment activities and performance. The Board has elected a Chief Compliance Officer who administers the Fund's compliance program and regularly reports to the Board as to compliance matters. Some of these reports are provided as part of formal "Board meetings" which typically are held quarterly, in person, and involve the Board's review of recent Fund operations. From time to time, one or more members of the Board may also meet with management in less formal settings, between scheduled "Board meetings," to discuss various topics. In all cases, however, the role of the Board and of any individual Director is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Fund and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Fund's investments, operations or activities.

Board Leadership Structure

The Fund's Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to perform its oversight function effectively. With the election of Mr. Levi to the Board, 80% of the members of the Board, including the Chairman of the Board, are not "interested persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Fund (the "Independent Directors"), which are Directors that are not affiliated with the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has established three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Compensation Committee, and a Qualified Legal Compliance Committee (the "QLCC") (collectively, the "Committees"), which are discussed in greater detail below. The Audit Committee, Nominating and Compensation Committee and QLCC are each comprised entirely of Independent Directors. Each of the Independent Directors helps identify matters for consideration by the Board and the Chairman has an active role in the agenda setting process for Board meetings. Mr. Kuczmarski, a Class II Director nominee, serves as Chairman of the Board. The Audit Committee Chairman also has an active role in the agenda setting process for


10



the Audit Committee meetings. The Fund's Board has adopted Fund Governance Policies and Procedures to ensure that the Board is properly constituted in accordance with the 1940 Act and to set forth examples of certain of the significant matters for consideration by the Board and/or its Committees in order to facilitate the Board's oversight function. For example, although the 1940 Act requires that at least 40% of a fund's directors not be "interested persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, the Board has determined that the Independent Directors should constitute at least a majority of the Board. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate. In addition, the Board also has determined that the structure, function and composition of the Committees are appropriate means to provide effective oversight on behalf of Fund stockholders. The Independent Directors have engaged their own independent counsel to advise them on matters relating to their responsibilities to the Fund.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

As part of its oversight function, the Board receives and reviews various risk management reports and assessments and discusses these matters with appropriate management and other personnel of the Adviser. Because risk management is a broad concept comprised of many elements, Board oversight of different types of risks is handled in different ways. For example, the full Board receives and reviews reports from senior personnel of the Adviser (including senior compliance, financial reporting and investment personnel) or their affiliates regarding various types of risks, including, but not limited to, operational, compliance, investment and business continuity risks, and how they are being managed. From time to time, the full Board meets with the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer to discuss compliance risks relating to the Fund, the Adviser and the Fund's other service providers. The Audit Committee supports the Board's oversight of risk management in a variety of ways, including meeting regularly with the Fund's Treasurer and with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and, when appropriate, with other personnel employed by the Adviser to discuss, among other things, the internal control structure of the Fund's financial reporting function and compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee also meets regularly with the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer to discuss compliance and operational risks and receives reports from the Adviser's internal audit group as to these and other matters.

Information about Each Director's Qualification, Experience, Attributes or Skills

The Board believes that each of the Directors, including the Class II Director nominees, has the qualifications, experience, attributes and skills ("Director Attributes") appropriate to serve as a Director of the Fund in light of the Fund's business and structure. Certain of these business and/or professional experiences are set forth in detail in the table above. The Directors have substantial board experience or other professional experience and have

Nominating and Compensation Committee Considerations for Independent Directors

The Nominating and Compensation Committee evaluates candidates' qualifications for Board membership. When evaluating candidates, the Nominating and Compensation Committee considers a number of attributes including leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, financial acumen, integrity and professional ethics, educational and professional background, prior director or executive experience, industry knowledge, business judgment and specific experiences or expertise that would complement or benefit the Board as a whole. The Nominating and Compensation Committee also may consider other factors/attributes as it may determine appropriate in its own judgment. The Nominating and Compensation Committee believes that the significance of each nominee's background, experience, qualifications, attributes or skills must be considered in the context of the Board as a whole. As a result, the Nominating and Compensation Committee has not established a litmus test or quota relating to these matters that must be satisfied before an individual may serve as a director. The Nominating and Compensation Committee believes that board effectiveness is best evaluated at a group level, through the annual self-assessment process. Through this process, the Nominating and Compensation Committee considers whether the Board as a whole has an appropriate level of sophistication, skill, and business acumen and the appropriate range of experience and background. The diversity of a candidate's background or experiences, when considered in comparison to the background and experiences of other members of the Board, may or may not impact the Nominating and Compensation Committee's view as to the candidate. In evaluating these matters, the Nominating and Compensation Committee typically considers the following minimum criteria:

•  With respect to nominations for Independent Directors, nominees shall be independent of the Adviser and other principal service providers. The Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Fund shall also consider the effect of any relationship beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence, such as business, financial or family relationships with the investment adviser or its affiliates.

•  Independent Director nominees must qualify for service on the Fund's Audit Committee under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (including financial literacy requirements) or of another applicable securities exchange.

•  With respect to all Directors, a proposed nominee must qualify under all applicable laws and regulations.

•  The Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Fund also may consider such other factors as it may determine to be relevant.

An issuer attorney who becomes aware of evidence of a material violation by the Fund, or by any officer, Director, employee, or agent of the Fund, may report evidence of such material violation to the QLCC as an alternative to the reporting requirements of Rule 205.3(b) (which requires reporting to the chief legal officer and potentially "up the ladder" to other entities). The QLCC meets as needed. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund's QLCC did not meet. The QLCC currently consists of Messrs. Kuczmarski, McFarland and Salvatore and Ms. Goldman.
