Global Opportunities Fund, Inc. (“the Fund”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation and income generation, which it seeks to achieve by investing in equity, debt and derivative securities of all types from issuers around the world. The fund consists of three security portfolios - equity, debt and derivative, with equal capital base. The Fund allocates and reallocates capital based upon management selection, and is not limited to specific industries or sectors. The Fund aims to limit downside risk potential by investing in strategic derivative positions. The Fund will invest near all, but no less than 90% of its total available capital. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objectives. 3
