Section 19(b) disclosure
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (MGU or Fund), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemptive order and with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors (Board), has adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies, to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (Plan). In accordance with the Plan, the Fund paid a monthly dividend of $0.10 per share from December 2021 through April 2022. In May 2022, the Fund paid a monthly dividend of $0.13 per share.
The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Fund’s Board. Under the Plan, the Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Fund’s total investment return on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, increased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.
A cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for the Fund’s current fiscal period, if applicable, is included in Additional Information. Section 19(a) notices for the Fund, as applicable, are available on the Fund’s website at macquarieim.com/mgu.

Semiannual commentary
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide to its common stockholders a high level of total return consisting of dividends and other income and capital appreciation.
Investment strategy
The Manager seeks to identify and select investments in infrastructure companies that, over the long term, are anticipated to produce returns commensurate with the underlying risks of the investment. The Manager believes that analysis of the underlying assets of an infrastructure company is key to determining the long-term quality of the potential revenue and income streams. The Manager adopts a systematic, fundamentals-based approach to identifying long-term potential value in infrastructure companies and continues its strategy of utilizing detailed bottom-up (stock by stock) fundamental analysis to select undervalued businesses with predictable cashflows, that are generally derived from monopolistic or near monopolistic essential service assets. The Fund is diversified in terms of asset classes and geographic region, its businesses are robust through the cycle, and its selection process includes ensuring they are appropriately capitalized.
Market Review
The six-month period began with concerns about Omicron, the COVID-19 variant that surfaced in November 2021, which, although it would prove to be more infectious than the Delta strain, it also proved to be far less virulent. Investors took consolation from
that fact.
The first quarter of 2022 saw major changes in the macroeconomic environment, driven by geopolitical factors. Equity markets reacted negatively as inflation increased, conflict broke out in Eastern Europe, and commodity prices spiked. Oil and natural gas prices rose significantly during the quarter, fuelling
expectations for higher inflation, which is a positive macroeconomic variable for infrastructure assets. Bond yields rose significantly during the quarter, with 10-year US Treasury yields starting the six-month period at 1.51% and finishing at 2.34%, driven by a rapid escalation in expectations regarding the US Federal Reserve’s approach to increasing interest rates.
The infrastructure sector significantly outperformed broader equity markets during the first quarter. The S&P Global Infrastructure Index (net) rose 7.3%, as rising inflation, lower growth expectations, and a flight toward more stable and predictable investments combined. Broader equity markets staged a recovery later in the quarter, but ended the period down 5.2%, as measured by the MSCI World
Index (net).
Even though the markets waited for a catalyst to occur near the end of the reporting period in May, none emerged. Central banks continued to grapple with inflation, and became even more conscious of rising growth risks, which remained higher in Europe than the US. Labor markets remained tight. Real wage growth was negative, and the squeeze on
consumers remained.
Within the Fund
Key contributors to performance
The Fund’s key stock contributors to absolute performance during the six-month measurement period included:
o Sempra Energy, a US electricity and gas distribution company;
o TC Energy Corp., a Canadian energy infrastructure company; and
o Enbridge Inc., also a Canadian energy infrastructure company.

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. 
The Fund’s key stock detractors from absolute performance during the six-month measurement period included:
o East Japan Railway Co., a Japanese rail company;
o NextEra Energy Inc., a US electric utility company; and
o West JapanRailway Co., a Japanese rail company.
Outlook
Investors have had to endure a difficult period so far in 2022, and those who had hoped the arrival of spring in the Northern hemisphere would herald a sea change have been disappointed. While the markets ended the six-month period broadly flat, there has been significant volatility during the period. The key macroeconomic risks of the war in Ukraine, tightening monetary policy, and
COVID-19 restrictions in China remain, and markets lacked a clear catalyst for a change in sentiment.
Going forward, we believe there will be a continuation of a few notable themes. We anticipate that global mobility should continue to improve, as the world continues to recover from the sharp declines seen during the pandemic. Although impediments may arise with new COVID-19 strains or other issues, we are encouraged by the vaccine penetration around the world and a sense among many markets that we are getting closer to transitioning from a pandemic to an endemic.
The conflict in Ukraine only further reinforces the trend of renewable electricity development as Europe seeks to bring about energy independence from Russia. We think that this, combined with general trends supportive of reducing climate emissions, should continue to encourage multiple companies’ buildouts of renewable generation as well as support the transmission networks that move such power.
The actions taken by central banks and the movements in long-term interest rates around the world will be an important driver of relative global valuations, in our view. We monitor these closely, as well as developments in inflation, which we think should remain elevated for the next six months. We will retain our preference for companies with explicit linkage to rising inflation. As always, we continue to look for companies that have relatively high and stable cash flows that we can purchase at what we consider to be an attractive valuation. We continue to maintain our preference towards names that will directly – through regulation or contractual terms – benefit from a rise in inflation, such as UK water and electric utilities.
We continue to notice that many investors in listed infrastructure markets overemphasize near-term observations of activity, whereas our process seeks to value assets over at least 10 years. We believe a thoughtful, active management approach is needed given today’s increased political, economic, and market uncertainty. In our view, vigilant and continuous assessment of the current market environment may offer opportunities for us to take advantage of market dislocations and potentially achieve what we view as attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors with a keen focus on sustainable, steady growth in capital and income over time.

The statements may include projections, estimates, and descriptions of future events. These statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from this commentary and outlook.

3 Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the opening on the first day and a sale at closing on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total returns exclude brokerage commissions on buying and selling of Fund shares, but do include commissions on buying and selling the underlying portfolio securities. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
4 For the six months ended May 31, 2022, and the years ended November 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the annualized ratios to Total Assets were 1.48%, 1.70%, 1.58%, 1.69%, 1.92%, and 1.58%, respectively. The Prospectus for the Fund defines Total Assets as Total Net Assets plus leverage.
5 Asset coverage ratios are calculated based on Total Assets as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus. (See Note 6)

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. May 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (Fund) is a diversified, closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended, and organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund’s shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker “MGU.”
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation —  The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund’s shares of common stock will be computed based upon the value of the securities and other assets and liabilities held by the Fund. The NAV is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00pm Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. US debt securities and non-US securities will normally be priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. US equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market, are valued at the closing bid prices. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value
16    


Table of Contents
prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.
Federal and Foreign Income Taxes  —  No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be 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 applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current years. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Fund’s federal/state income tax returns through the six months ended May 31, 2022 and for all open federal income tax years (years ended
November 30, 2019–November 30, 2021) and all open state income tax years (years ended
November 30, 2016–November 30, 2021), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the “Statement of operations.” During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —  Cash equivalents are funds (proceeds) temporarily invested in original maturities of 90 days or less.
Restricted Cash —  As of May 31, 2022, the Fund did not classify any funds (proceeds) as restricted.
Foreign Currency Transactions  —  Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not bifurcate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. These gains and losses are included on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.” The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Use of Estimates —  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, 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 revenues and
    17

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Distributions to Shareholders —  The Fund intends to distribute to holders of its common shares monthly distributions of all or a portion of its net income and/or realized gains after payment of interest in connection with any leverage used by the Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.
The Fund has received approval from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 19b-1 thereunder permitting the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains more frequently than otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act, provided that the Fund adheres to the distribution policy that requires the Fund to make level distributions each month to shareholders of common stock after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings.
Other   —  Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Distributions received from Master Limited Partnerships are recorded as return on capital on the
ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
2. Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, Affiliated Transactions and Administration Agreements
Delaware Management Company, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT), is also responsible for managing the Fund’s business affairs, overseeing other service providers and providing management services. As compensation for its services to the Fund, and in accordance with the terms of its investment management agreement with the Fund, DMC receives an annual management fee, payable on a quarterly basis, equal to the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s Total Assets (as defined below) up to and including $300 million, 0.90% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $300 million up to and including $500 million, and 0.65% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $500 million. Total Assets of the Fund, for the purpose of this calculation, include the aggregate of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus proceeds from any
18

outstanding borrowings used for leverage. On July 14, 2021, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which MIMBT, through its DMC series, serves as the Fund’s investment manager.
The Fund may place a portion of its portfolio transactions with a brokerage firm which is an affiliate of MIMBT. There were no commissions paid to the affiliated firm for the six months ended May 31, 2022.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (Computershare) serves as the Fund’s Transfer Agent,
dividend-paying agent, and registrar. As compensation for Computershare’s services, the Fund pays Computershare a monthly fee plus certain out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Investments
For the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than US government securities and short-term investments as follows:
Purchases $127,597,972
Sales 121,286,662
At May 31, 2022, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for federal income tax purposes have been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At May 31, 2022, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for the Fund were as follows:
Cost of investments $479,054,277
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments $ 70,210,798
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments (26,569,312)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments $ 43,641,486
US GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund's
    19

3. Investments (continued)
investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:
Level 1  − Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)
Level 2  − Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)
Level 3  − Significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

Total Value of Securities   $485,839,725   $36,856,037 $522,695,762  
During the period ended May 31, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third-party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to the Fund's net assets. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, there were no Level 3 investments.

5. Derivatives
US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions.
During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Fund experienced net realized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency holdings, which is disclosed as on the “Statement of operations.”

6. Leverage
The Fund has entered into a Committed Facility Agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. (the BNP Paribas Facility or the Agreement), which provides for a committed credit facility to be used as leverage for the Fund. The BNP Paribas Facility provides for secured, committed lines of credit for the Fund, where selected Fund assets are pledged against advances made to the Fund. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund, after any such borrowings, must have asset coverage of at least 300% (33 1/3% of the Fund’s Total Assets after borrowings). Under the current terms, the total amount of loans that may be outstanding at any one time, or the Maximum Commitment Financing (MCF), under the BNP Paribas Facility is $120,000,000 and euro 40,000,000. The Fund may reduce the MCF by a total aggregate amount of up to $20,000,000 upon one business day’s prior notice (no more than one time per calendar month). The Fund pays 0.55% per annum above 3-month LIBOR for the US dollar line and 0.55% above the 3-month EURIBOR for the euro line.
On July 23, 2014, $60,000,000 of the US dollar line was fixed for a five-year period. As of July 26, 2018, the rate was re-negotiated to 2.303% for the remaining term of the five-year period. The Fund paid an arrangement fee of 0.25% on the fixed rate borrowing.
Effective August 26, 2019, $60,000,000 of the US dollar line was fixed and euro 25,000,000 for the euro line for a five-year period. At the end of the five-year period, following business day conventions, the fixed financing will be reduced to zero and the floating rate financing will be increased by the same amount, unless the parties agree in writing to amend or extend the term of the relevant fixed rate periods. The Fund paid an arrangement fee of 0.25% on the fixed rate borrowing.
Effective November 8, 2021, the reference rate changed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the US dollar line and  Euro Short Term Rate for the euro line. As of May 31, 2022, the Fund had $54,900,000 and euro 15,000,000 in leverage outstanding on the variable lines, and $60,000,000 outstanding and euro 25,000,000 on the fixed line. The carrying values of the loan approximate fair values. The daily average amounts outstanding over the period on the variable line was $48,086,813, with an average rate on the borrowing of 0.796%, and euro 15,000,000 with the average rate on borrowing of -0.03%.
The unused amount under the BNP Paribas Facility was $5,100,000 at May 31, 2022. The loan payable is carried at value, and the euro line is adjusted daily for foreign currency translation. At

6. Leverage (continued)
May 31, 2022, the Fund maintained an asset coverage of 334%, and the market value of the securities pledged as collateral for the BNP Paribas Facility totaled $519,281,259.
7. Soft Dollar Arrangement
DMC maintains commission sharing arrangements with various executing brokers in which a portion of total commissions paid by the Fund is allocated to a pool of “credits” maintained by a broker. These credits may be used to pay for a portion of DMC’s permitted investment research services.
8. Compensation of Directors
Effective January 1, 2020, the Chair of the Board of Directors receives an annual retainer of $58,750, paid quarterly, for his services to the Fund, and each other non-interested Director of the Fund received an annual retainer of $50,000, paid quarterly, for his or her services to the Fund. Non-interested Directors and the Chairman also receive an additional $2,500 for each meeting attended, and $1,500 for each telephonic meeting. Additional out-of-pocket expenses are paid as incurred.
9. Credit and Market Risk
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations, and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Investments in equity securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests will cause the NAV of the Fund to fluctuate.
Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging
24    


Table of Contents
markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by
the Fund.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedule of investments.”
10. Contractual Obligations
The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
11. Share Repurchase Program
The Board approved the share repurchase program on January 20, 2021. On January 26, 2021, the Fund announced the adoption of an open-market share repurchase program pursuant to which the Fund may purchase, from time to time, up to 10% of its common shares in open-market transactions, at the discretion of management in an effort to reduce the Fund’s market price discount to net asset value. Subject to the 10% limitation, the timing and amount of repurchases will be in the discretion of the Fund’s management. In exercising their discretion, management will take into account various other factors, including, but not limited to, the level of the discount, the Fund’s performance, portfolio holdings, dividend history, market conditions, cash on hand, the availability of other attractive investments, and whether the sale of certain portfolio securities would be undesirable because of liquidity concerns or because the sale might subject the Fund to adverse tax consequences. Any repurchases would be made on a national securities exchange at the prevailing market price, subject to exchange requirements,
federal securities laws and rules that restrict repurchases, and the terms of any outstanding leverage or borrowing of the Fund.
The Fund intends to repurchase its common shares, at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable and in accordance with applicable law, subject to various factors, including the limitations imposed by the federal securities laws governing the repurchase of an issuer’s shares by the issuer.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Unless a stockholder of the Fund (Stockholder) elects to receive cash distributions, all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, on the Stockholder’s Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Agent, Computershare, in additional Common Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. If a Stockholder elects to receive cash distributions, the Stockholder will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the Stockholder by Computershare, as dividend paying agent.
If a Stockholder decides to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares the Stockholder will receive will be determined as follows:
• If Common Shares are trading at or above Net Asset Value (NAV) at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV per Common Share on that date or (ii) 95% of the market price on that date.
• If Common Shares are trading below NAV at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market within 30 days of the valuation date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with federal securities laws. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.
A Stockholder may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Agent, or by telephone in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Plan Agent and Fund may agree upon. If a Stockholder withdraws or the Plan is terminated, the Stockholder will receive a certificate for each whole share in its account under the Plan and the Stockholder will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in its account. If the Stockholder wishes, the Plan Agent will sell the Stockholder’s shares and send the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions, if any, to the Stockholder.
The Plan Agent maintains all Stockholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information a Stockholder may need for tax records. Common Shares in an account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. The Plan 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 a Stockholder receives will include all Common Shares received under the Plan.
There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of a Stockholder’s dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that a Stockholder does not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (continued)
If a Stockholder holds Common Shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, the Stockholder will not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Stockholders should consult their financial adviser for more information.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.
All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare, PO Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233 or Computershare, 462 South 4th Street, Louisville, KY 40202 (for overnight courier), 866 587-4518.

Decision to opt into Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act
On May 3, 2022, the Fund announced that the Fund’s Board has unanimously approved the Fund’s election to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (MCSAA), effective as of April 27, 2022. The objective of the MCSAA is to protect the interests of all shareholders of a Maryland corporation. It achieves this by limiting the voting power of a large investor or group acting in concert on newly acquired shares above various threshold levels that start at 10%. Those shares can be voted only if two-thirds of the shares held by the other shareholders agree to grant voting rights to these “control” shares.
Application of the MCSAA seeks to limit the ability of an acquiring person to achieve a short-term gain at the expense of long-term value for the rest of the Fund’s shareholders. The MCSAA will only apply to “control shares” acquired after April 27, 2022, the date that the Fund elected to be subject to the MCSAA. The above description of the MCSAA is only a high-level summary and investors should refer to the actual provisions of the MCSAA for more information.
Section 19(a) Notices
The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act, as amended, and the related rules adopted there under. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain, and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the fiscal
year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in these 19(a) notices are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The Fund’s distribution policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the distributions paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month. The Fund’s current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of assets and liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

The Fund's Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
What is the Fund's investment objective?
The Fund's investment objective is to provide to its common stockholders a high level of total return consisting of dividends and other income, and capital appreciation.
What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its Total Assets (as defined below) in equity and equity-like securities and instruments, such as common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and hybrid securities issued by US and non-US issuers (Infrastructure Issuers) that primarily own or operate Infrastructure Assets (as defined below) (the 80% policy). “Total Assets” of the Fund, for the purpose of this calculation, include the aggregate of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus proceeds from any outstanding borrowings used for leverage. The 80% policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days' notice prior to any such change. “Infrastructure Assets” are an underlying foundation of basic services, facilities and institutions upon which the growth and development of a community depends. Infrastructure Assets may provide the necessities of everyday life, such as fresh water, roads, airports, utilities, power, steam heating systems, hospitals, schools and other social services. Infrastructure Assets provide the transportation corridors and facilities, communications networks, energy distribution systems and pipelines, and institutions that are fundamental to the health of an economy. Infrastructure Issuers include both publicly traded and privately held non-governmental entities. These entities may issue debt or equity securities. Although the Infrastructure Issuers in which the Fund will invest will be non-governmental issuers, governmental units and government-related entities may hold securities issued by such non-governmental Infrastructure Issuers, at times to a significant extent. 
The Manager seeks to identify and select investments in Infrastructure Issuers that, over the long term, are anticipated to produce attractive dividend yield, and capital appreciation commensurate with the underlying risk of the investment. The Manager analyzes Infrastructure Issuers through detailed analysis of long-term fundamentals to determine the quality of their assets. The Manager believes that analysis of an Infrastructure Issuer’s underlying assets is key to determine the long-term quality of the Infrastructure Issuer’s potential revenue and income streams. The Manager believes investments made on the basis of a systematic, fundamentals-based approach identifying long-term potential value in Infrastructure Issuers should outperform investments made on the basis of short-term market factors.  The Fund may invest in securities and instruments of Infrastructure Issuers that are forecast to decline in value due to the nature of the assets of the Infrastructure Issuer under circumstances where such decline is anticipated to be offset by positive overall total return.
Certain members of the Macquarie Group (other than the Manager), primarily those involved in the Macquarie Group’s infrastructure funds management and infrastructure advisory divisions, focus on identifying investment opportunities in securities of Infrastructure Issuers that are neither listed on an exchange nor traded over-the-counter. Generally, these opportunities are not appropriate for the Fund due to the investment size and the significant level of control sought.

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. 
Periodically, however, opportunities may be identified that meet the Fund’s investment objective, policies and guidelines and the Manager may be presented with the opportunity to invest the assets of the Fund in such opportunities. The Manager may, if in accordance with the 1940 Act and the Fund’s investment objective, guidelines and policies, cause the Fund to make such investment. The Manager anticipates that the majority, and possibly all, of the Fund’s opportunities to invest the assets of the Fund in such securities will be presented to the Manager through such other members of the Macquarie Group. No agreement exists between any member of the Macquarie Group and the Fund with respect to presenting such opportunities and no assurances can be given that any such opportunities will be presented to the Manager or, if presented, will be deemed to be a suitable investment for the Fund or will be permitted under the 1940 Act. No other member of the Macquarie Group will render investment advice to the Fund.
Up to 100% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be composed of securities issued by Infrastructure Issuers primarily located outside the United States. Such Infrastructure Issuers are non-US issuers and, although primarily located outside the United States, may own or operate Infrastructure Assets located in the United States. Such securities generally will be denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. The Fund may also purchase sponsored American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or US dollar-denominated securities of non-US Infrastructure Issuers. ADRs are receipts issued by United States banks or trust companies in respect of securities of non-US issuers held on deposit for use in the United States securities markets.
The Fund normally invests at least 85% of its Total Assets in securities and instruments of issuers that are listed on national or regional exchanges, or traded over-the-counter, with most issuers expected to be listed on a national or regional exchange. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its Total Assets in unlisted securities or instruments of Infrastructure Issuers, although this is not a primary focus of the Fund.  These unlisted securities or instruments may include equity, hybrid, convertible preferred instruments and debt instruments.
The Fund also applies the following guidelines to its investments at the time of investment: (i) no more than 5% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be invested in securities or instruments issued by any single Infrastructure Issuer; (ii) no more than 10% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be invested in securities or instruments issued by Infrastructure Issuers primarily located in any one non-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country; (iii) no more than 30% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be invested in securities or instruments issued by Infrastructure Issuers primarily located in non-OECD countries; and (iv) no more than 30% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be invested in securities or instruments issued by Infrastructure Issuers primarily located in any one country that is a part of the OECD, except that the Fund may invest up to 50% of the Fund’s Total Assets in Infrastructure Issuers primarily located in the United States.
The hybrid securities in which the Fund may invest include stapled securities and various income trust units, including securities and instruments under which the issuers’ obligations to pay distributions on the securities and instruments may be linked to profits. Stapled securities typically consist of two or more related securities that are “stapled” together to trade as one unit. Income trusts are generally designed to distribute, in a tax-efficient manner, cash flows from an
32    


Table of Contents
operating company to the holders of the trust units. Income fund units, stapled securities and other “hybrid” securities will be treated as equity securities for the purposes of the Fund’s investment strategies.
The Fund may invest, under normal market conditions, up to 20% of its Total Assets in instruments that are not required to be issued by Infrastructure Issuers and debt securities, including bonds, notes (including structured notes), mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, Eurodollar and Yankee dollar instruments, and money market instruments. Debt securities may be issued by corporate and governmental issuers and may have all types of interest rate payment and reset terms, including fixed rate, adjustable rate, zero coupon, contingent, deferred, payment-in-kind and auction rate. There is no minimum credit rating for the securities and instruments in which the Fund may invest. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Total Assets in debt securities or instruments rated non-investment grade by recognized statistical rating agencies or unrated securities of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in securities and instruments of other open- or closed-end US or non-US investment companies that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. In addition, the Fund may invest a portion of its Total Assets in US or non-US pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies) that invest primarily in securities, or the assets underlying those securities, of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund generally expects that it may invest in other investment companies and/or pooled investment vehicles either during periods when it has large amount of uninvested cash, such as the period shortly after the Fund receives the proceeds of leverage instruments, or during periods when there is a shortage of attractive securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly available in the market.
The Fund may, but is not obligated to, use a variety of financial instruments and investment techniques to attempt to hedge certain risks to which it will be subject. The instruments and techniques in which the Fund may invest include options, forward contracts, futures contracts, and swap agreements. The Fund does not intend to enter into short sales other than short sales “against the box,” which are transactions in which the seller already owns the security being sold short.  Examples of financial instruments in which the Fund may invest include options on securities, currencies and indexes; interest rate futures contracts, index futures contracts and foreign currency futures contracts; the Fund may purchase and write call and put futures options; the Fund may enter into swap agreements and related caps, floors and collars; and the Fund may invest in warrants.
The Fund may enter into forward contracts, including forward currency contracts, in an effort to hedge the Fund’s exposure to investments in non-US currencies. Similarly, the Fund may use interest rate futures contracts, index futures contracts and foreign currency futures contracts, and may purchase and sell options on futures. A conventional futures contract is an agreement under which one party agrees to accept, and the other party agrees to make, delivery of the underlying asset to which the futures contract relates at a specified future time and at a specified price.
The Fund may enter into swap transactions with respect to income streams on an underlying investment, currency exchange rates, indices, and interest rates.

Though not a significant component of its investment strategy, the Fund may use certain financial instruments and investment techniques, such as writing covered calls, to increase its income or total return.
The Fund does not normally use any derivative financial instruments or investment techniques for purely speculative purposes. The Manager, on behalf of the Fund, has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and, as a result, is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO under the CEA.
The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date.
As temporary investments, the Fund may invest in repurchase agreements.
Although it is not the Fund’s current intention, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks.
The Fund may not use leverage at all times and the amount of leverage may vary depending upon a number of factors, including the Manager’s outlook for the market and the costs that the Fund would incur as a result of such leverage. The Fund will not issue leverage instruments with an aggregate issue price exceeding 33 1/3% (in the case of debt) or 50% (in the case of preferred stock) of the Fund’s Total Assets (including the proceeds from the issuance of leverage instruments) in each case at the time such leverage instruments  are issued. Following the issuance of leverage instruments, however, the balance of outstanding leverage instruments  may exceed 33 1/3% or 50% (as applicable) of the Fund’s Total Assets due to a reduction in the value of the Fund’s Total Assets, subject to restrictions on leverage imposed by the 1940 Act.
The Fund may also borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, including the payment of dividends and the settlement of securities transactions which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Fund securities. This borrowing will be subject to the 33 1/3% limitation described above.
During periods in which the Manager determines that it is temporarily unable to follow the Fund’s investment strategy or that it is impractical to do so, the Fund may deviate from its principal investment strategies or any of the guidelines set out above and invest all or any portion of its assets in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year, cash or cash equivalents. The Manager’s determination that it is temporarily unable to follow the Fund’s investment strategy or that it is impractical to do so will generally occur only in situations in which a market disruption event has occurred and where trading in the securities selected through application of the Fund’s investment strategy is extremely limited or absent. In such a case, the value of shares of the Fund may be adversely affected and the Fund may not pursue or achieve its investment objective.

What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund?
Investing in any closed-end fund, such as the Fund, involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. The Fund’s principal risks include:
Active management and selection risk — The risk that the securities selected for the Fund by the Manager will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected for other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.
Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as infrastructure) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.
Infrastructure risk —  Infrastructure Issuers may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Some of the specific risks that Infrastructure Issuers may be particularly affected by, or subject to, include the following: regulatory risk, technology risk, regional or geographic risk, natural disasters risk, through-put risk, project risk, strategic asset risk, operation risk, customer risk, interest rate risk, inflation risk and financing risk. Other factors that may affect the operations of Infrastructure Issuers include difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets, inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment, increased susceptibility to terrorist acts or political actions, and general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure assets. In addition, the change in presidential administration could significantly impact the regulation of United States financial markets and dramatically alter existing trade, tax, energy and infrastructure policies, among others. It is not possible to predict what, if any, changes will be made or their potential effect on the economy, securities markets, or financial stability of the United States, or on the energy, natural resources, infrastructure and other markets. 
Foreign risk and emerging markets risk — The risk that international investing (particularly in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. The risk associated with international investing will be greater in emerging markets than in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility.
    35

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. 
Currency risk — The risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies and between various foreign currencies may cause the value of an investment to decline.
Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.
Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner. For a further discussion of credit and market risks, see Note 11 in “Notes to financial statements.”
Equity risk — The risk that stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds. Also the risk that an issuer does not realize sufficient income in a particular period both to service its liabilities and to pay dividends on its equity securities and may forgo paying dividends on its equity securities.
Preferred securities risk — The risk that the value of preferred securities may be impacted by an issuer’s inability to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner, skipped or deferred dividend payments, early redemption, limited voting rights, risks of subordination, or a lack of liquidity. 
Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low interest rates.  Infrastructure Assets can be highly leveraged. As such, movements in the level of interest rates may affect the returns from these assets more significantly than other assets in some instances.
Prepayment risk — The risk that the principal on a bond that is held by the Fund will be prepaid prior to maturity at a time when interest rates are lower than what that bond was paying. The Fund may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.
Derivatives risk — Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated.  When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a fund may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).

Table of Contents
Leveraging risk — The risk that certain Fund transactions using leveraging techniques may give rise to leverage, causing the  Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, which may result in increased losses to the Fund. Leveraging techniques, such as borrowing, will pose certain risks for the Fund's common shareholders, including the possibility of higher volatility of both the NAV and market value of the Fund's shares. There can be no assurance that the Fund would be able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current interest rate payable under the BNP Paribas Agreement. In such event, the Fund's leveraged capital structure would result in a lower yield to the Fund's common shareholders than if the Fund were not leveraged. Accordingly, the effect of leverage in a declining market is likely to be a greater decline in the Fund's NAV per share than if the Fund were not leveraged, which may be reflected in a greater decline in the market price of its shares.
Liquidity risk — Liquidity risk is the possibility that securities cannot be readily sold within seven days at approximately the price at which the Fund has valued them.
Geographic focus risk — The risk that local political and economic conditions could adversely affect the performance of the Fund to the extent it invests a substantial amount of assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. 
Investment companies risk — The risks of investing in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the investment company invests. The Fund will bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of an investment in an investment company. As a result, the Fund’s expenses may be higher and performance may be lower. 
Inflation risk — Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions thereon can decline. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, interest and dividend rates of any leverage instruments a fund may have issued would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to shareholders.
High yield (junk bond) risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities. High yield bonds are sometimes issued by municipalities that have less financial strength and therefore have less ability to make projected debt payments on the bonds.
Hybrid securities risk — The Fund may invest in preferred stock and hybrid securities, which may have special risks. Preferred and hybrid securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer. Some preferred and hybrid securities are noncumulative, meaning that the dividends do not accumulate and need not ever be paid. A portion of the Fund’s assets may include investments in noncumulative preferred or hybrid securities, under which the issuer does not have an obligation to make up any arrears to its investors. Preferred and hybrid securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or US government securities. Generally, preferred and hybrid security holders (such as the Fund) have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless preferred dividends have been
    37

in arrears for a specified number of periods, at which time the security holders generally may select a number of directors to the issuer’s board. Generally, once all the arrears have been paid, the security holders no longer have voting rights. In certain varying circumstances, an issuer of preferred or hybrid securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date. For instance, for certain types of preferred or hybrid securities, a redemption may be triggered by a change in federal income tax or securities laws. A redemption by the issuer may negatively impact the return of the security held by the Fund.
Performance risk —  Performance risk broadly refers to the potential for changes in share prices to result in a loss in the value of your investment in the Fund. The Fund primarily invests in companies that are listed on a share market and as a result is exposed to movements in their share prices.
Natural disaster and epidemic risk —  Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries. These disruptions could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
IBOR risk — The risk that potential changes related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or similar interbank offered rates (“IBORs,” such as the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA)) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR or a similar rate. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions and the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain. The abandonment of LIBOR and similar rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference such rates, especially those that do not have fallback provisions. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance.

^^ Cumulative distribution rate is the cumulative amount of distributions paid during the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2022 based on the Fund’s NAV as of November 30, 2021.

*Cumulative total return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions for the period December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021.

**The 5 year average annual total return is based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and is through the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date.

The payment of dividend distributions in accordance with the distribution policy may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net assets. A decrease in the Fund’s net assets may cause an increase in the Fund’s annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund’s market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund’s net asset value per share. The distribution policy may also negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the dividend distribution. The distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carry forwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in that year. The Board of Directors has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the distribution policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or termination of the distribution policy may affect the Fund’s market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and

demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the Fund involves risks, and the Fund may or may not be able to achieve its investment objective for a variety of reasons. The following summarizes some of the Fund’s risks but does not purport to be a complete listing of all of the risks. Investors should carefully review the Fund’s Prospectus and consult their own advisers.

The Fund is also subject to risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. Industry Concentration and Infrastructure Industry Risk. The Fund will be concentrated in the infrastructure industry, and will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting that industry than a fund that is not concentrated in a specific industry. Non-U.S. Investment Risk. A majority of the Fund’s investments will be in non-U.S. issuers and a substantial portion of the trades executed for the Fund will take place on foreign exchanges. Investments in securities and instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with investments in those of U.S. issuers. Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to non-US investment risk, investments in emerging markets may expose the Fund to heightened risks that may be more volatile than investments in developed markets. Use of Derivatives and Hedging. The Fund may use derivatives and employ a variety of hedging techniques. Derivatives can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Certain of the investment techniques that the Fund may employ for hedging or to increase income or total return will expose the Fund to additional risks. Leverage Risk. The Fund expects to employ leverage as part of its investing strategy. The use of leverage will increase the volatility of the Fund and increase risk to investors. Any difficulty in maintaining the Fund’s leverage could cause a diversion of cash flow and/or require liquidation of some portion of the Fund’s portfolio. Restrictions imposed as a result of any leverage may directly or indirectly inhibit the Fund’s ability to take actions that otherwise may be taken in an unleveraged portfolio of similar assets.

Other than Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL), none of the entities noted are authorized deposit-taking institution for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959 (Commonwealth of Australia). The obligations of these entities do not represent deposits or other liabilities of MBL. MBL does not guarantee or otherwise provide assurance in respect of the obligations of these entities, unless noted otherwise.

The amendment, suspension or termination of the distribution policy may affect the Fund’s market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions

Furthermore, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the Fund involves risks, and the Fund may or may not be able to achieve its investment objective for a variety of reasons. The following summarizes some of the Fund’s risks but does not purport to be a complete listing of all of the risks. Investors should carefully review the Fund’s Prospectus and consult their own advisers.

The Fund is also subject to risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. Industry Concentration and Infrastructure Industry Risk. The Fund will be concentrated in the infrastructure industry, and will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting that industry than a fund that is not concentrated in a specific industry. Non-U.S. Investment Risk. A majority of the Fund’s investments will be in non-U.S. issuers and a substantial portion of the trades executed for the Fund will take place on foreign exchanges. Investments in securities and instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with investments in those of U.S. issuers. Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to non-US investment risk, investments in emerging markets may expose the Fund to heightened risks that may be more volatile than investments in developed markets. Use of Derivatives and Hedging. The Fund may use derivatives and employ a variety of hedging techniques. Derivatives can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Certain of the investment techniques that the Fund may employ for hedging or to increase income or total return will expose the Fund to additional risks. Leverage Risk. The Fund expects to employ leverage as part of its investing strategy. The use of leverage will increase the volatility of the Fund and increase risk to investors. Any difficulty in maintaining the Fund’s leverage could cause a diversion of cash flow and/or require liquidation of some portion of the Fund’s portfolio. Restrictions imposed as a result of any leverage may directly or indirectly inhibit the Fund’s ability to take actions that otherwise may be taken in an unleveraged portfolio of similar assets.

Macquarie Bank does not guarantee or otherwise provide assurance in respect of the obligations of these entities. In addition, if this document relates to an investment (a) each investor is subject to investment risk including possible delays in repayment and loss of income and principal invested and (b) none of Macquarie Bank or any other Macquarie Group company guarantees any particular rate of return on or the performance of the investment, nor do they guarantee repayment of capital in respect of the investment.

The distribution policy may also negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the dividend distribution. The distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carry forwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in that year. The Board of Directors has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the distribution policy at any time.
