Clough Capital Partners L.P. manages a closed-ended balanced mutual fund, the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund. This fund is invested in both public equity and fixed income markets around the world, with a focus on diverse sector companies operating globally. The fixed income portion of the fund is invested in both corporate and sovereign debt, with a maturity range of 30 days to over 30 years. The equity portion of the fund is primarily invested in small-cap and mid-cap stocks. The fund uses a fundamental analysis with a bottom-up approach to its stock picking, and employs a theme-oriented investment approach which emphasizes industry consolidation, technological change, emergent shortages of product or raw materials, and changes in government regulation or major economic or investment cycles. The fund is also actively researching shortages, global geographic growth opportunities, and unique global credit market opportunities. Previously known as the Clough Global Allocation Fund, the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund was established on April 27, 2004 and is domiciled in the United States.
