Letter to Stockholders

Dear Stockholders,
I am pleased to provide the Annual Report for Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. (the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Volatility returned to capital markets during 2014, driven by concerns over slowing global economic growth and a dramatic fall in the price of crude oil, which declined by nearly 50% in the latter half of the year. Signs of anemic growth in Europe and a continued deceleration in China weighed on investor sentiment over the period and led to negative revisions to future economic growth forecasts. Slowing demand also led the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to raise production levels sharply in order to protect market share in an increasingly competitive oil market. Although lower oil prices should prove beneficial for consumers in oil-importing countries and regions, the pronounced decline in commodity prices served to reinforce concerns over the health of the global economy.
The U.S. remained a bright spot amid challenging global market conditions. Economic data points in the U.S. reflected healthy levels of growth, including continued expansion of the labor market as well as manufacturing production and services. While the implications of lower oil prices on the U.S. oil and gas industry and the economy as a whole have yet to be seen, the U.S. appears to be advancing more quickly through the economic recovery cycle than many other developed markets.
Against this backdrop, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate declined by 87 basis points over the period, ending the year at 2.17%. Within a volatile market environment, investors sought the safety of yield, which led the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate to briefly move below 2.0% during intraday trading in October, a level that had not been observed since June 2013. Looking ahead, the divergence of growth among developed economies will likely continue to foster varying levels of accommodative monetary policy across the globe. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve officially announced the end of its quantitative easing program during the latter half of 2014, leading market participants to anticipate a modest increase in the federal funds rate at some point in 2015. Conversely, the Bank of Japan announced plans to undertake additional asset purchases in order to stimulate growth, the European Central Bank is expected to implement further quantitative easing initiatives in 2015 and anticipation remains high for further stimulus activity in China. Given this recent activity, we expect interest rates to remain low in the near term.
In addition to performance information, this report provides the Fund’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
We welcome your questions and comments, and encourage you to contact our Investor Relations team at (855) 777-8001 or visit us at www.brookfieldim.com for more information. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Brian F. Hurley
President

Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc.

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of total return, with an emphasis on income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in securities of publicly traded infrastructure companies.
Investment Risks: All investment strategies and the investments made pursuant to such strategies involve the risk of loss, including the potential loss of the entire investment. The investment performance and the success of any investment strategy or particular investment can never be predicted or guaranteed, and the value of an investment will fluctuate due to market conditions and other factors. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, and the Fund’s common shares may likewise trade at a discount to their net asset value.
Investing in the Fund will be subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of infrastructure assets. Such risks include risks associated with general economic climates; fluctuations in interest rates and currency; availability and attractiveness of secured and unsecured financing; compliance with relevant government regulations; environmental liabilities; various uninsured or uninsurable unforeseen events; infrastructure development and construction and the ability of the relevant operating company to manage the relevant infrastructure business. These risks, either individually or in combination, may cause, among other things, a reduction in income, an increase in operating costs and an increase in costs associated with investments in infrastructure assets, which may materially affect the financial position and returns of specific investments generally. For additional information about the risks associated with investing in the Fund, investors should review the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2014, Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: INF) had a total return based on net asset value of 11.57% and a total return based on market price of 15.91%, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and is exclusive of brokerage commissions. Based on the NYSE closing price of $20.89 on December 31, 2014, the Fund’s shares had a distribution yield of 6.70%. The distribution yield is calculated as the annualized amount of the reporting period’s most recently declared monthly distribution paid from net investment income divided by the stated stock price.
All sectors contributed positively to performance during the year.1 The Fund’s allocations to the pipelines and electricity transmission & distribution sectors were the largest contributors to performance. The other, diversified and water sectors contributed modestly to performance. All regions also contributed positively to performance during the year. The Fund’s allocations to the U.S. and Continental Europe were the largest contributors to performance by region, while the allocation to Latin America was a modest contributor. By country, the U.S. was the clear leader and was supported by improving economic conditions, marked by accelerating GDP growth and falling unemployment levels. Brazil finished as the weakest contributor, as the country faced slowing growth, increasing inflation, droughts and uncertainty around its presidential election in October.
By security, Spark Infrastructure Group (ASX: SKI) (Australia, electricity transmission & distribution) was the strongest contributor for the year. The company benefitted from falling sovereign bond yields in Australia, which benefited higher-yielding securities like Spark. Enbridge Energy Management LLC (NYSE: EEQ) (U.S., pipelines) rallied on a beneficial restructuring in June and remained resilient later in the year even though many other pipeline companies and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) performed poorly amidst falling crude oil and natural gas prices. Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE: UNP) (U.S., rail) also provided strong returns, benefitting from the strengthening U.S. economy.
In general, energy infrastructure companies struggled in the second half of the year due to falling commodity prices. The bottom three detractors by security were all U.S. MLPs, including EV Energy Partners LP

(NASDAQ: EVEP), Exterran Partners LP (NASDAQ: EXLP) and Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP). In contrast to prior years, MLPs were one of the weakest infrastructure sectors in 2014.
INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Positive year for infrastructure securities
Overall, 2014 was a strong year for infrastructure securities, despite the effects of falling oil and natural gas prices on energy infrastructure companies during the second half of the year. For 2014, the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Composite Index returned 15.63%, outperforming the MSCI World Index2 by more than 1,000 basis points (bps). All infrastructure sectors were positive for the year, led by electricity transmission & distribution (+22.3%), water (+17.9) and communications (+17.7%), all of which outperformed the broader index. Relative laggards included toll roads (+9.9%), diversified (+5.7%) and ports (+3.4%). MLPs finished up 4.8% for the year, as measured by the Alerian MLP Total Return Index.3 However, the MLP sector experienced significant volatility later in the year, finishing the fourth quarter down 12.3%.
Declining crude oil prices dominate headlines
Crude oil prices plunged by almost 50% in 2014, with the price of Brent crude oil ending the year at approximately $55 per barrel, compared with approximately $108 per barrel as of December 31, 2013.4 Amidst declining prices, it was widely hoped that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would announce explicit production cuts at its meeting in late November in an attempt to stabilize prices. However, OPEC decided not to cut production and changed its stance from defending price to protecting market share against North American producers. As a result of the decision, oil prices plunged, and have since remained volatile. During the fourth quarter, natural gas prices also fell by almost 30%.4 These significant declines in commodity prices led to weak performance and a lower outlook for energy exploration & production (E&P) companies, which are the customers of energy infrastructure companies.
Corporate merger and acquisition news
There was a broad range of activity during the year, although deals and IPOs tapered off in December amidst the continuing decline in oil and natural gas prices. A few highlights of the year include Exelon Corporation’s (NYSE: EXC) (U.S., utilities) agreement in the second quarter to buy Pepco Holdings Inc. (NYSE: POM) (U.S., utilities) for $6.8 billion, creating one of the largest electric and natural gas utility companies in the U.S. The combined company will serve approximately 10 million customers and maintain a rate base of $26.0 billion. The transaction is expected to close during the second or third quarter of 2015. In October, Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ), (U.S., MLP), a diversified MLP focused on natural gas pipelines and processing, announced it had entered into a merger agreement with Access Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ACMP) (U.S., MLP). The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB) (U.S., midstream) owns a controlling interest in both entities. The $50 billion transaction is expected to close in early 2015 and will create one of the largest MLPs. In November, Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE: KMI) (U.S., pipelines) completed its successful consolidation of several of its affiliated MLPs. The completed deal was the largest in the energy sector since Exxon’s merger with Mobil in 1999, and made KMI a single, publically listed company on the NYSE. In December, market activity slowed considerably, but a notable development was an announcement that Veresen Inc. (TSE: VSN) (Canada, pipelines) and private equity firm KKR & Co. have formed a CAD $5 billion pipeline and natural gas gathering joint venture to serve natural gas producers in northern British Columbia.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for most infrastructure sectors is generally positive. We believe that low oil prices will keep inflation under control, allowing central banks to keep interest rates lower for longer. These low rates should be supportive of infrastructure valuations. From a regional perspective, lower oil prices should be positive for GDP growth for oil-importing countries, but negative for countries that rely heavily on oil exports. From a sector perspective, we continue to monitor the potential impact of sustained lower oil prices on our energy infrastructure holdings. Energy

infrastructure companies generally do not have significant direct commodity sensitivity, but we remain cognizant that prolonged lower oil prices will likely reduce the growth outlooks and capital expenditures of E&P companies, which in turn will reduce the growth rate of energy infrastructure companies. We believe the portfolio’s energy infrastructure holdings are attractively valued and will realize growth in an environment of lower oil prices. We continue to favor securities that offer a reasonable combination of yield and growth.

Total investment return is computed based upon the New York Stock Exchange market price of the Fund's shares and excludes the effect of broker commissions. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at the prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan.
1 Commencement of operations.
2 Net asset value, beginning of period, reflects a deduction of $0.90 per share sales charge from the initial public offering price of $20.00 per share.
3 Per share amounts presented are based on average shares outstanding throughout the period indicated.
4 Effective as of the close of business on September 19, 2013, the Fund issued transferrable rights to its stockholders to subscribe for up to 2,590,000 shares of common stock at a rate of one share for every 3 rights held. The subscription price was initially set at 90% of the average closing price for the last 5 trading days of the offering period. However as the subscription price was less than 80% of the Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the Fund's common shares at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the expiration date, the subscription price was 80% of the Fund's NAV at the close of trading on that day. The shares were subscribed at a price of $19.29 which was less than the October 18, 2013 NAV of $24.11 thus creating a dilutive effect on the NAV.
5 Not annualized.
6 Annualized.
7 Calculated by subtracting the Fund's total liabilities (not including borrowings) from the Fund's total assets and dividing by the total number of senior indebtedness units, where one unit equals $1,000 of senior indebtedness.

1.Organization
Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on June 8, 2011. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, which invests primarily in publicly traded infrastructure companies. The Fund commenced operations on August 26, 2011.
Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (“BIM” or “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and serves as investment adviser to the Fund.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of total return, with an emphasis on income. The investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) without stockholder approval, upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to stockholders. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
2.Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Valuation of Investments: Debt securities, including U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities, are generally valued at the bid prices furnished by an independent pricing service or, if not valued by an independent pricing service, using bid prices obtained from active and reliable market makers in any such security or a broker-dealer. The broker-dealers or pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the broker-dealers or pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the broker-dealers or pricing services utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost with interest accrued or discount accreted to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, does not represent market value.
Investments in equity securities listed or traded on any securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the trade price as of the close of business on the valuation date. Investments in open-end registered investment companies, if any, are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by those investment companies.
Fair valuation procedures may be used to value a portion of the assets of the Fund. The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or an independent pricing service is inaccurate.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The fair value of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.
The values assigned to fair valued investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.
The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities. The Adviser oversees the day to day responsibilities for valuation determinations under these procedures. The Board regularly reviews the application of these procedures to the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. Pursuant to the procedures, securities in the Fund are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers. However, if (i) a market value or price is not readily available, (ii) the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value by the Adviser, or (iii) a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued, as determined in good faith, by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Adviser’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of the Adviser’s management team. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. As of December 31, 2014, there were no Fund securities that were fair valued by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee.
The Fund has established methods of fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Fair value denotes the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 -  quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 -  quoted prices in markets that are not active or other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices based on recently executed transactions, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 -  significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities)
The Adviser’s valuation policy, as previously stated, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as, the methodologies and inputs the Adviser uses in determining fair value, including the use of
2014 Annual Report15

December 31, 2014

the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. If the Adviser’s Valuation Committee determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken.
Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser (or its third party service providers, who is subject to oversight by the Adviser), regularly compares one of its prior day prices, prices on comparable securities and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices that exceed certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, the Adviser’s Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2014:

The fair value of the Fund’s credit facility, which qualifies as a financial instrument under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments”, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2014, this financial instrument is categorized as a Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy.
Level 2 common stocks are fair valued using a factor as a result of market movements following the close of trading in global markets. During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $4,277,142, which represent securities that were previously priced using this adjusted prices and currently priced using the market close price. There were no additional transfers between Levels. The basis for recognizing and valuing transfers is as of the end of the period in which transfers occur.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund did not invest in any Level 3 securities.

December 31, 2014

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized, respectively, on a daily basis, using the effective yield to maturity method adjusted based on management’s assessment of the collectability of such interest. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Transactions: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund isolates the portion of realized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Fund does not isolate the portion of unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Taxes: The Fund intends to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund may incur an excise tax to the extent it has not distributed all of its taxable income on a calendar year basis.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. An evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the taxing authority is required. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of a deferred tax asset; an increase in a deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. As of December 31, 2014, the Fund has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions or tax liabilities required to be accrued.
The Fund has reviewed all taxable years that are open for examination (i.e., not barred by the applicable statute of limitations) by taxing authorities of all major jurisdictions, including the Internal Revenue Service. As of December 31, 2014, open taxable years consisted of the taxable years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014. No examination of the Fund’s tax returns is currently in progress.
Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Fund and other investment companies advised by the Adviser are allocated among the respective investment companies, including the Fund, based either upon relative average net assets, evenly or a combination of both.
Distributions: The Fund declares and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions of realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards are distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All common shares have equal dividend and other distribution rights.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by the Fund for financial reporting purposes. These differences which could be temporary or permanent in nature, may result in reclassification of distributions; however, net investment income, net realized gains and losses and net assets are not affected.

Cash Flow Information: The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends and distributions which are paid in cash or are reinvested at the discretion of stockholders. These activities are reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Additional information on cash receipts and cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the amount reported as “Cash” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and does not include short-term investments.
3.Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Related Parties
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser under which the Adviser is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operation of the Fund. The Advisory Agreement provides that the Fund shall pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes) (“Managed Assets”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser may delegate any or all of its responsibilities to one or more investment sub-advisers, which may be affiliates of the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board and stockholders of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into an Administration Agreement with the Adviser. The Adviser has entered into a sub-administration agreement with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Sub-Administrator”). The Adviser and Sub-Administrator perform administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund, including maintaining certain books and records of the Fund and preparing reports and other documents required by federal, state, and other applicable laws and regulations, and providing the Fund with administrative office facilities. For these services, the Fund shall pay to the Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets. The Adviser is responsible for any fees due to the Sub-Administrator.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors of the Adviser.
4.Purchases and Sales of Investments
For the year ended December 31, 2014, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, the credit facility and U.S. Government securities, were $71,187,027 and $62,403,590, respectively.
The Fund did not have any purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities for the year ended December 31, 2014.
5.Option Contracts
The Fund may purchase or sell (i.e., write) options on securities, securities indices and foreign currencies which are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market to hedge the value of the Fund’s portfolio or as a means of achieving additional return.
A call option is a contract that gives the holder of the option the right to buy from the writer of the option, in return for a premium, the security or currency underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of the call option has the obligation, upon exercise of the option, to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price during the option period.
A put option is a contract that gives the holder of the option the right, in return for a premium, to sell to the seller of the put option the underlying security at a specified price. The seller of the put option has the obligation to buy the underlying security upon exercise at the exercise price.
A call option is “covered” if the Fund owns the underlying instrument covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that instrument without additional cash consideration (or for additional cash consideration held in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other instruments held in its portfolio. A call option is also covered if the Fund holds a call option on the same instrument as the call
18Brookfield Investment Management Inc.


Table of Contents
BROOKFIELD GLOBAL LISTED INFRASTRUCTURE INCOME FUND INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)    
December 31, 2014

option written where the exercise price of the call option held is (i) equal to or less than the exercise price of the call option written or (ii) greater than the exercise price of the call option written if the difference is maintained by the Fund in cash, U.S. government securities or other high-grade short-term obligations in a segregated account with its custodian. A call option is “uncovered” if the underlying security covered by the call is not held by the Fund. A put option is “covered” if the Fund maintains cash or other liquid securities with a value equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian, or else holds a put option on the same instrument as the put option written where the exercise price of the put option held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put option written.
If the Fund has written an option, it may close out its obligation by effecting a closing purchase transaction. This is accomplished by purchasing an option of the same series as the option previously written. However, once the Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, the Fund will be unable to effect a closing purchase transaction. Similarly, if the Fund is the holder of an option it may liquidate its position by effecting a closing sale transaction. This is accomplished by selling an option of the same series as the option previously purchased. There can be no assurance that either a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected when the Fund so desires.
The Fund will realize a profit from a closing transaction if the price of the transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option, or is more than the premium paid to purchase the option; the Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the price of the transaction is more than the premium received from writing the option, or is less than the premium paid to purchase the option. Since call option prices generally reflect increases in the price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option may also be wholly or partially offset by unrealized appreciation of the underlying security. Other principal factors affecting the market value of a put or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market price and price volatility of the underlying security and the time remaining until the expiration date of the option. Gains and losses on investments in options depend, in part, on the ability of the Adviser to correctly predict the effect of these factors. The use of options cannot serve as a complete hedge since the price movement of securities underlying the options will not necessarily follow the price movements of the portfolio securities subject to the hedge.

Ordinary income (including short-term capital gains)

$ 8,280,952
Long-term capital gains

11,794,752

$13,719,342
Long-term capital gains

7,621,339
Total distributions

$21,340,681
A notice disclosing the source(s) of a distribution is provided after a payment is made from any source other than net investment income. Any such notice is provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and not for tax reporting purposes. The tax composition of the Fund’s distributions for each calendar year is reported on IRS Form 1099-DIV.
At December 31, 2014, the Fund’s most recently completed tax year-end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Post-October capital loss deferral

$ (15,915)
Other accumulated losses

(1,891,281)
Tax basis unrealized appreciation on investments

47,329,132

$277,260,439 $60,079,488 $(12,750,356) $47,329,132

investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for wash sales and return of capital. Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital or to undistributed capital gains. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
At December 31, 2014, the Fund’s most recently completed tax year-end, the Fund’s components of net assets were increased or (decreased) by the amounts shown in the table below.
Additional paid-in capital Distributions in excess of net investment income Accumulated net realized gain
$(271,762) $8,865,491 $(8,593,729)
9.Indemnification
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, since this would involve the resolution of certain claims, as well as future claims that may be made, against the Fund. Thus, an estimate of the financial impact, if any, of these arrangements cannot be made at this time. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be unlikely.
10.New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11 “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2014-11 makes limited changes to the accounting for repurchase agreements, clarifies when repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions should be accounted for as secured borrowings, and requires additional disclosures regarding these types of transactions. The effective date of this ASU is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has determined that this guidance will not have an impact on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
11.Subsequent Events
GAAP requires recognition in the financial statements of the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.
Dividends: The Fund’s Board declared the following monthly dividends:
Dividend Per Share Record Date Payable Date
$0.1167 January 22, 2015 January 29, 2015
$0.1167 February 19, 2015 February 26, 2015
Management has evaluated subsequent events in the preparation of the Fund’s financial statements and has determined that other than the items listed herein, there are no events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
December 31, 2014

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BROOKFIELD GLOBAL LISTED INFRASTRUCTURE INCOME FUND INC.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Unaudited)

The Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan’’) that provides that unless you elect to receive your distributions in cash, they will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), in additional shares of common stock. If you elect to receive distributions in cash, you will receive them paid by check mailed directly to you by the Plan Administrator.
No action is required on the part of a stockholder to have their cash distribution reinvested in shares of the Fund’s common stock. Unless you or your brokerage firm decides to opt out of the Plan, the number of shares of common stock you will receive will be determined as follows:
(1) The number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be based on share price equal to 95% of the closing price of the Fund’s common stock on the distribution payment date.
(2) The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, instruct the Fund to purchase shares of its common stock in the open market in connection with the implementation of the Plan as follows: if the Fund’s common stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, upon notice from the Fund, the Plan Administrator will receive the distribution in cash and will purchase common stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts, except that the Plan Administrator will endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares if, following the commencement of the purchases, the market value of the shares, including brokerage commissions, exceeds the net asset value at the time of valuation. Provided the Plan Administrator can terminate purchases on the open market, the remaining shares will be issued by the Fund at a price equal to the greater of (i) the net asset value at the time of valuation or (ii) 95% of the then-current market price. It is possible that the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid entirely in common stock issued by the Fund.
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator, or by telephone in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Fund and the Plan Administrator may agree upon. Such withdrawal will be effective the next business day. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, the Plan Administrator will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.
The Plan Administrator maintains all common stockholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common stock in your account will be held by the Plan Administrator in non-certificated form. The Plan Administrator, or the Fund’s appointed agent, will forward to each participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held only in accordance with proxies returned to the Fund. Any proxy you receive will include all common stock you have received under the Plan. There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your distributions in common stock. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Administrator when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvesting distributions does not avoid a taxable event or the requirement to pay income taxes due upon receiving distributions, even though you have not received any cash with which to pay the resulting tax.
If you hold common stock with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, you will not be able to participate in the Plan and any distribution reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Consult your financial advisor for more information.
The Plan Administrator’s fees under the Plan will be borne by the Fund. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan, including amending the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the change is warranted. Any amendment to the Plan, except amendments necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules and policies of the Commission or any other regulatory authority, require the Fund to provide at least 30 days written notice to each participant. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC at 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

The aggregate fees billed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), to the Funds for the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years for professional services rendered for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and the review of financial statements that are included in the Registrant’s annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders (“Audit Fees”) were $50,000 and $50,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(b) Audit-Related Fees

There were no fees billed by Deloitte to the Fund in its two recent fiscal years for services rendered for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements, but are not reported as Audit Fees (“Audit-Related Fees”).

For the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by Deloitte for engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of one or more Funds by a Fund Service Provider. A Fund Service Provider is (a) any investment adviser to the Fund (not including any Subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or (b) any entity that provides ongoing services to the Fund and is controlling, controlled by or under common control with a Fund investment adviser described in (a).

(c) Tax Fees

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Deloitte billed the Registrant aggregate fees of $6,000 and $6,000, respectively. Each bill is for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. The nature of the services comprising the Tax Fees was the review of the Registrant’s income tax returns and tax distribution requirements.

For the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, Tax Fees billed by Deloitte for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $0 for fiscal 2014 and $0 for fiscal 2013, respectively.

The services for which Tax Fees were charged comprise all services performed by professional staff in Deloitte’s tax division except those services related to the audit. Typically, this category would include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services include preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refund and tax payment-planning services, assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.

(d) All Other Fees

There were no other fees billed by Deloitte to the Fund for all other non-audit services (“Other Fees”) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. During the same period, there were no Other Fees billed by Deloitte for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

(e) (1) According to policies adopted by the Audit Committee, services provided by Deloitte to the Funds must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves various types of services that Deloitte may perform for the Funds without specific approval of each engagement, subject to specified budget limitations. As contemplated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Audit Committee also pre-approves non-audit services provided by Deloitte to any Fund Service Provider for any engagement that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Any engagement that is not already pre-approved or that will exceed a pre-approved budget must be submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval.

(e) (2) None.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate fees billed by Deloitte in 2014 and 2013 for non-audit services rendered to the Fund and Fund Service Providers were $256,000 and $161,000, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $250,000 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $155,000 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

(h) The Fund’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled, or under common control with the investment advisor that provided ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrant.

The Registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Registrant’s Audit Committee members include Edward A. Kuczmarski, Stuart A. McFarland and Louis P. Salvatore.

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

BROOKFIELD INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT INC.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

May 2012

The Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Policies and Procedures”) set forth the proxy voting policies, procedures and guidelines to be followed by Brookfield Investment Management Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “BIM”) in voting portfolio proxies relating to securities that are held in the portfolios of the investment companies or other clients (“Clients”) for which BIM has been delegated such proxy voting authority.

A.  Proxy Voting Committee

BIM’s internal proxy voting committee (the “Committee”) is responsible for overseeing the proxy voting process and ensuring that BIM meets its regulatory and corporate governance obligations in voting of portfolio proxies.

The Committee shall oversee the proxy voting agent’s compliance with these Policies and Procedures, including any deviations by the proxy voting agent from the proxy voting guidelines (“Guidelines”).

B.  Administration and Voting of Portfolio Proxies

1.  Fiduciary Duty and Objective

As an investment adviser that has been granted the authority to vote on portfolio proxies, BIM owes a fiduciary duty to its Clients to monitor corporate events and to vote portfolio proxies consistent with the best interests of its Clients. In this regard, BIM seeks to ensure that all votes are free from unwarranted and inappropriate influences. Accordingly, BIM generally votes portfolio proxies in a uniform manner for its Clients and in accordance with these Policies and Procedures and the Guidelines.

In meeting its fiduciary duty, BIM generally view proxy voting as a way to enhance the value of the company’s stock held by the Clients. Similarly, when voting on matters for which the Guidelines dictate a vote be decided on a case-by-case basis, BIM’s primary consideration is the economic interests of its Clients.

2.  Proxy Voting Agent

BIM may retain an independent third party proxy voting agent to assist BIM in its proxy voting responsibilities in accordance with these Policies and Procedures and in particular, with the Guidelines. As discussed above, the Committee is responsible for monitoring the proxy voting agent.

In general, BIM may consider the proxy voting agent’s research and analysis as part of BIM’s own review of a proxy proposal in which the Guidelines recommend that the vote be considered on a case-by-case basis. BIM bears ultimate responsibility for how portfolio proxies are voted. Unless instructed otherwise by BIM, the proxy voting agent, when retained, will vote each portfolio proxy in accordance with the Guidelines. The proxy voting agent also will assist BIM in maintaining records of BIM’s portfolio proxy votes, including the appropriate records necessary for registered investment companies to meet their regulatory obligations regarding the annual filing of proxy voting records on Form N-PX with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


3.  Material Conflicts of Interest

BIM votes portfolio proxies without regard to any other business relationship between BIM and the company to which the portfolio proxy relates. To this end, BIM must identify material conflicts of interest that may arise between a Client and BIM, such as the following relationships:

 

    BIM provides significant investment advisory or other services to a portfolio company or its affiliates (the “Company”) whose management is soliciting proxies or BIM is seeking to provide such services;
    BIM serves as an investment adviser to the pension or other investment account of the Company or BIM is seeking to serve in that capacity; or
    BIM and the Company have a lending or other financial-related relationship.

In each of these situations, voting against the Company management’s recommendation may cause BIM a loss of revenue or other benefit.

BIM generally seeks to avoid such material conflicts of interest by maintaining separate investment decision-making and proxy voting decision-making processes. To further minimize possible conflicts of interest, BIM and the Committee employ the following procedures, as long as BIM determines that the course of action is consistent with the best interests of the Clients:

 

    If the proposal that gives rise to a material conflict is specifically addressed in the Guidelines, BIM will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the Guidelines, provided that the Guidelines do not provide discretion to BIM on how to vote on the matter (i.e., case-by-case); or
    If the previous procedure does not provide an appropriate voting recommendation, BIM may retain an independent fiduciary for advice on how to vote the proposal or the Committee may direct BIM to abstain from voting because voting on the particular proposal is impracticable and/or is outweighed by the cost of voting.

4.  Certain Foreign Securities

Portfolio proxies relating to foreign securities held by Clients are subject to these Policies and Procedures. In certain foreign jurisdictions, however, the voting of portfolio proxies can result in additional restrictions that have an economic impact to the security, such as “share-blocking.” If BIM votes on the portfolio proxy, share-blocking may prevent BIM from selling the shares of the foreign security for a period of time. In determining whether to vote portfolio proxies subject to such restrictions, BIM, in consultation with the Committee, considers whether the vote, either in itself or together with the votes of other shareholders, is expected to affect the value of the security that outweighs the cost of voting. If BIM votes on a portfolio proxy and during the “share-blocking period,” BIM would like to sell the affected foreign security, BIM, in consultation with the Committee, will attempt to recall the shares (as allowable within the market time-frame and practices).

C.  Fund Board Reporting and Recordkeeping

BIM will prepare periodic reports for submission to the Boards of Directors of its affiliated funds (the “Funds”) describing:

 

    any issues arising under these Policies and Procedures since the last report to the Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees and the resolution of such issues, including but not limited to, information about conflicts of interest not addressed in the Policies and Procedures; and
    any proxy votes taken by BIM on behalf of the Funds since the last report to such Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees that deviated from these Policies and Procedures, with reasons for any such deviations.


In addition, no less frequently than annually, BIM will provide the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds with a written report of any recommended changes based upon BIM’s experience under these Policies and Procedures, evolving industry practices and developments in the applicable laws or regulations.

BIM will maintain all records that are required under, and in accordance with, all applicable regulations, including the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which include, but not limited to:

 

    these Policies and Procedures, as amended from time to time;
    records of votes cast with respect to portfolio proxies, reflecting the information required to be included in Form N-PX, as applicable;
    records of written client requests for proxy voting information and any written responses of BIM to such requests; and
    any written materials prepared by BIM that were material to making a decision in how to vote, or that memorialized the basis for the decision.

D.  Amendments to these Procedures

The Committee shall periodically review and update these Policies and Procedures as necessary. Any amendments to these Procedures and Policies (including the Guidelines) shall be provided to the Board of Directors of BIM and to the Boards of Directors of the Funds for review and approval.

E.  Proxy Voting Guidelines

Guidelines are available upon request.

Portfolio Manager Material Conflict of Interest

Potential conflicts of interest may arise when a fund’s portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to one or more other funds or other accounts, as is the case for the portfolio managers of the Registrant.

These potential conflicts include:

Allocation of Limited Time and Attention.    A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. As a result, the portfolio manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as the case may be if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies.


Allocation of Limited Investment Opportunities.    If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for multiple funds and/or accounts, the opportunity may be allocated among these several funds or accounts, which may limit a fund’s ability to take full advantage of the investment opportunity.

Pursuit of Differing Strategies.    At times, a portfolio manager may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the funds and/or accounts for which he or she exercises investment responsibility, or may decide that certain of the funds and/or accounts should take differing positions with respect to a particular security. In these cases, the portfolio manager may place separate transactions for one or more funds or accounts which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or benefit of one or more other funds and/or accounts.

Variation in Compensation.    A conflict of interest may arise where the financial or other benefits available to the portfolio manager differ among the funds and/or accounts that he or she manages. If the structure of the investment adviser’s management fee and/or the portfolio manager’s compensation differs among funds and/or accounts (such as where certain funds or accounts pay higher management fees or performance-based management fees), the portfolio manager might be motivated to help certain funds and/or accounts over others. The portfolio manager might be motivated to favor funds and/or accounts in which he or she has an interest or in which the investment advisor and/or its affiliates have interests. Similarly, the desire to maintain or raise assets under management or to enhance the portfolio manager’s performance record or to derive other rewards, financial or otherwise, could influence the portfolio manager to lend preferential treatment to those funds and/or accounts that could most significantly benefit the portfolio manager.

Related Business Opportunities.    The investment adviser or its affiliates may provide more services (such as distribution or recordkeeping) for some types of funds or accounts than for others. In such cases, a portfolio manager may benefit, either directly or indirectly, by devoting disproportionate attention to the management of fund and/or accounts that provide greater overall returns to the investment manager and its affiliates.

The Adviser and the Registrant have adopted compliance policies and procedures that are designed to address the various conflicts of interest that may arise for the Adviser and the individuals that it employs. For example, the Adviser seeks to minimize the effects of competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by assigning portfolio managers to manage funds and accounts that share a similar investment style. The Adviser has also adopted trade allocation procedures that are designed to facilitate the fair allocation of limited investment opportunities among multiple funds and accounts. There is, however, no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be able to detect and prevent every situation in which an actual or potential conflict may appear.

Portfolio Manager Compensation

The Registrant’s portfolio manager is compensated by the Adviser. The compensation structure of the Adviser’s portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) if applicable, long-term stock-based compensation consisting generally of restricted stock units of the Adviser’s indirect parent company, Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. The portfolio managers also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all of the Adviser’s employees. Compensation of the portfolio managers is reviewed on an annual basis by senior management.

The Adviser compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities, the total return performance of funds and accounts managed by the portfolio manager on an absolute basis and versus appropriate peer groups of similar size and strategy, as well as the management skills displayed in managing their subordinates and the teamwork displayed in working with other members of the firm. Since the portfolio managers are responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis almost equally weighted among performance, management and teamwork. Base compensation for the Adviser’s portfolio managers varies in line with the portfolio manager’s seniority and position. The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as acting as an executive officer of the Adviser and supervising various departments) will include consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the portfolio manager’s performance in meeting them. The Adviser seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating


performance of the Adviser and its indirect parent. While the salaries of the Adviser’s portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in the portfolio manager’s performance and other factors as described herein.
