FUND DISTRIBUTIONS AND MANAGED DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Board of Directors (the “Board,” or the “Directors”) of Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) has adopted a Managed Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the Fund to make a monthly distribution at the rate of $0.05 per share. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains, and a return of capital, or a combination thereof.

If the Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains in a particular period, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the Fund’s notices issued pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment results during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, without prior notice to shareholders, if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

To Virtus Closed-End Fund Shareholders:

I am pleased to present this semiannual report, which reviews the performance of your Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2025.

The six-month period saw sharp volatility fueled by policy uncertainty from Washington, D.C. Markets rose, then fell, then rose again on changing news about tariffs. The economy showed signs of strength during the period, while inflation appeared to moderate. After lowering its benchmark interest rate by 0.25% in December 2024, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) kept rates unchanged during the first five months of 2025.

Domestic equity indexes declined during the six months ended May 31, 2025. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were down 1.35%, as measured by the S&P 500^® Index, while small-cap stocks were down 14.54%, as measured by the Russell 2000^® Index. International equities posted positive returns, with developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE^® Index (net), returning 14.21%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), gained 8.58%.

In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.41% on May 31, 2025, from 4.18% on November 30, 2024. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was up 0.77% for the six-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, posted a return of 2.24%.

For the six-month period, the three sectors of emerging markets debt returned 1.71% for hard currency sovereign debt, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, 2.05% for hard currency corporate debt, as represented by the JPMorgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index, and 7.12% for local currency sovereign debt, as represented by the JPMorgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index.

Global Multi-Sector Income Fund

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

May 31, 2025

About the Fund:

Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund’s (NYSE: VGI) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to maximize current income while preserving capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by applying extensive credit research to capitalize on opportunities across undervalued areas of the global bond markets. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The use of leverage allows the Fund to borrow at short-term rates with the expectation to invest at higher yields on its investments. As of May 31, 2025, the Fund’s leverage consisted of $39 million of borrowings made pursuant to margin financing, which represented approximately 30% of the Fund’s managed assets.

Manager Comments – Newfleet Asset Management (“Newfleet”)

Newfleet’s multi-sector fixed income strategies team manages the Fund, leveraging the knowledge and skills of investment professionals with expertise in every sector of the bond market, including evolving, specialized, and out-of-favor sectors. The team employs active sector rotation and disciplined risk management for portfolio construction, avoiding interest rate bets and remaining duration neutral. The following commentary is provided by the respective portfolio team at Newfleet and covers the Fund’s portfolio for the six months ended May 31, 2025.

How did the markets perform during the six months ended May 31, 2025?

After beginning policy adjustments late in the third quarter of 2024, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued adjusting policy by lowering interest rates at its December meeting by 0.25%, which brought total monetary easing during 2024 to 1.00%. While monetary policy may have been the economic focal point during the reporting period, the political focal point was the highly anticipated U.S. presidential election.

Following the presidential election, 2025 began with a more volatile market backdrop, driven by a heightened level of policy uncertainty. The arrival of a new U.S. administration was expected to include new policy direction on many fronts, including trade, immigration, deregulation, taxation, and the transition from campaign rhetoric to action. The unknowns were scale, scope, and delivery, but those unknowns quickly began to take shape. The new administration began pursuing significant changes, causing financial markets to recalibrate expectations and react to fast-moving news headlines.

U.S. economic data began 2025 on solid footing. Growth was firm, inflation was moderating (albeit on a bumpy path), and unemployment remained low by historical standards. This environment allowed the Fed to maintain a patient easing bias while it awaited policies from the new administration. With that backdrop, the first five months of 2025 saw no further interest rate cuts by the Fed.

Geopolitical developments were decidedly mixed during the period, with volatility re-emerging in the Middle East and in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

U.S. policy uncertainty weighed on market sentiment as the period progressed, resulting in more varied financial market performance. Fixed income sector performance was also variable, with interest rates mixed during the period. Most spread sectors, or securities other than risk-free government debt, outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Within spread sectors, shorter duration asset classes, or those with less sensitivity to changes in interest rates, outperformed, as did risk assets. The front end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve shifted lower and the long end shifted higher, causing the curve to steepen. The 2-year Treasury yield decreased by 0.25%, the 5-year Treasury yield decreased by 0.9%, the 10-year Treasury yield increased by 0.23%, and the 30-year Treasury yield moved 0.57% higher.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the six-month period?

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returned 0.86%, while its market price returned 0.82%. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, which serves as the Fund’s benchmark, returned 3.02%.

The Fund’s allocations to emerging markets high yield and bank loans had positive impacts on performance for the six-month period. Allocation to and issue selection within asset-backed securities was also positive for the period.

The Fund’s underweight to U.S. Treasury securities had a negative impact during the period.

The Fund’s allocation to and selection within corporate high yield securities had a negative impact during the period. Selection within bank loans was also negative during the six months.

Level distribution practice

The Fund has a practice of seeking to maintain a specified level of monthly distributions to shareholders, which may be changed at any time. As a result of this practice, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund’s taxable net investment income and net realized gains. During the most recent fiscal period, the practice did not have a material impact on the Fund’s investment strategy.

The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice.

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are subject to change and may not be representative of the portfolio managers’ current or future investment decisions. The mention of individual securities held by the Fund is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any securities. Investors seeking financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any securities or investment strategies discussed should consult their financial professional.

Global Multi-Sector Income Fund

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

Risk Considerations

Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.

Management: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. Judgments by the Fund’s subadviser about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results.

Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

Sanctions: The imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by or tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in a sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of transactions, and negatively impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance.

High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Changes in interest rates can cause both extension and prepayment risks for asset- and mortgage-backed securities. These securities are also subject to risks associated with the non-repayment of underlying collateral, including losses to the Fund.

Leveraged Loans: Leveraged loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale, may be less liquid and may trade infrequently on the secondary market. Leveraged loans settle on a delayed basis; thus, sale proceeds may not be available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the loan.

Leverage: When the Fund leverages it portfolio, the Fund may be less liquid and/or may liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, and the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements.

Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Closed-End Funds: Closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset values, which may affect whether an investor will realize gains or losses. They may also employ leverage, which may increase volatility.

No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.

STONE HARBOR EMERGING MARKETS INCOME FUND

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

May 31, 2025

About the Fund:

Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund’s (NYSE: EDF) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to maximize total return, which consists of income on its investments and capital appreciation. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in emerging markets securities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The use of leverage currently enables the Fund to borrow at short-term rates with the expectation of investing at higher yields on its investments. During the period, the Fund utilized short-term reverse repurchase agreements through which it borrowed money by selling securities under the obligation to repurchase them at a later date at a fixed price. The Fund’s management team adjusted borrowing levels to reflect the team’s outlook on emerging markets risk, increasing borrowings when it felt opportunities had improved and reducing borrowings when, in the team’s judgment, macroeconomic risk had risen. At May 31, 2025, the Fund had borrowings of approximately $43 million, which represented about 23% of the Fund’s managed assets.

During the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Fund issued an additional 1,557,872 common shares pursuant to an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering program, resulting in $7.8 million of net proceeds to the Fund. In an ATM offering, newly issued shares are sold incrementally into the secondary trading market through a placement agent at prevailing market prices, but always at or above the Fund’s net asset value. The cash proceeds are invested pursuant to the Fund’s investment objectives.

Manager Comments – Stone Harbor Investment Partners (“Stone Harbor”)

Stone Harbor is a global credit specialist with expertise in emerging and developed markets debt. With three decades of informed experience allocating risk in complex areas of the fixed income markets, Stone Harbor manages global credit portfolios for institutional clients around the world. The following commentary is provided by the respective portfolio team at Stone Harbor and covers the Fund’s portfolio for the six months ended May 31, 2025.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s six months ended May 31, 2025?

U.S.-China trade tensions and tariffs fueled market volatility during the six-month period, as did inflation concerns and a hawkish Federal Reserve (“Fed”). Germany approved a constitutional amendment to its fiscal rule that allows for defense spending above 1% of the country’s gross domestic product, as well as additional funds for infrastructure spending. Investors reacted positively to the news, believing that these changes could support a more balanced growth trajectory for the region.

Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury closed at 4.41% at the end of the reporting period. Total returns for emerging markets hard currency sovereign and corporate debt indices were 1.71% and 2.05%, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBI Global Diversified Index and the JPMorgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index, respectively, for the six-month period. The average yield of local currency sovereign debt, as represented by the JPMorgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index, climbed to 6.34%. Local currency sovereign debt outperformed the other sectors of emerging markets debt, posting a total return of 7.12%, driven by foreign currency appreciation.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

What factors affected the Fund’s performance during six-month period?

The Fund’s total return on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six months ended May 31, 2025 was 6.22%. For the same period, the Fund’s composite benchmark, which is composed of the three sectors of emerging markets debt, returned 3.62%. A key driver of the Fund’s performance was positive returns from country selection in hard currency sovereign debt.

At the country level, the largest contributors to performance were U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt in Argentina, Ecuador, Gabon, and Zambia. U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt in Mexico (Poinsettia) and Brazil (OHI Group) also enhanced performance. Other contributors to performance included local currency debt exposures in Mexico and Turkey.

Among the top detractors from the Fund’s performance were allocations to U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign bonds in Ukraine, Angola, and Mexico. U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt in Argentina (Albanesi) and Colombia (Gran Tierra) detracted from performance. Local currency debt exposures in Malaysia, Poland, and India also detracted from performance.

The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk, and to seek to efficiently gain certain investment exposures. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. For the reporting period, derivatives contributed 0.49% to Fund performance.

May 31, 2025

Risk Considerations

Non-Diversified: The Fund is not diversified and may be more susceptible to factors negatively impacting its holdings to the extent the Fund invests more of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than would a diversified portfolio.

Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Foreign Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility; currency fluctuations; less liquidity; less publicly available information about the foreign investment; and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

Emerging Markets Investing: Emerging markets securities may be more volatile, or more greatly affected by negative conditions, than those of their counterparts in more established foreign markets. Such securities may also be subject to Sanctions Risk.

Sanctions: The imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by or tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of transactions, and negatively impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance.

Currency Rate: Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s shares.

Sovereign Debt Obligations: Certain emerging market countries have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment of an emerging country’s debt may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt.

May 31, 2025

Derivatives: Derivatives may include, among other things, futures, options, forwards and swap agreements and may be used in order to hedge portfolio risks, create leverage, or attempt to increase returns. Investments in derivatives may result in increased volatility and the Fund may incur a loss greater than its principal investment.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Reverse repurchase agreements subject the Fund to Leverage Risk and Counterparty Risk, and also to the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreements may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Counterparty: There is risk that a party upon whom the Fund relies to complete a transaction will default.

High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.

Leverage: When the Fund leverages its portfolio, the Fund may be less liquid and/or may liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, and the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements.

No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.

About The Fund

Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: ZTR) (the “Fund”) has an investment objective of capital appreciation, with current income as a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to meet its objectives through a balance of equity and fixed income investments. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

The use of leverage currently enables the Fund to borrow at short-term rates with the expectation of investing at higher yields on its investments. As of May 31, 2025, the Fund’s leverage consisted of $165 million of borrowings made pursuant to margin financing, which represented approximately 30% of the Fund’s managed assets.

On March 11, 2024, the Fund announced a Tender Offer Program intended to enhance shareholder value, provide shareholders with an additional source of liquidity for their investment, and provide the potential to reduce the Fund’s trading discount to its NAV over time. The Tender Offer Program consists of a tender offer for 10% of the Fund’s outstanding shares at 98% of NAV and two conditional tender offers. The Fund conducted a tender offer for 10% of its outstanding shares in May 2024. The first conditional tender offer for 10% of its outstanding shares expired on February 6, 2025, and on February 12, 2025, the Fund announced that it accepted 6,172,049 shares for payment at a price of 98% of NAV, or $6.4386. The Tender Offer Program concludes with a second conditional tender offer for up to 10% of the Fund’s then outstanding shares at 98% of NAV if the Fund’s average trading discount exceeds 10% during the consecutive 180 calendar day period beginning April 1, 2025.

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Fund’s NAV returned 6.97%, including $0.30 in reinvested distributions, and its market price returned 6.17%. For the same period, the Fund’s composite benchmark, which consists of 60% FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index (net) (representing equities) and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing fixed income) returned 0.77%.

Manager Comments – Duff & Phelps Investment Management Co. (“DPIM”)

The equity portion of the Fund is invested globally in owners/operators of infrastructure in the communications, utility, energy, and transportation industries (also referred to as “essential services”). DPIM manages the equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio, utilizing its global infrastructure strategy that leverages the company’s in-depth fundamental research expertise in income-producing securities. The following commentary is provided by the portfolio management team at DPIM and covers the Fund’s equity portion for the fiscal six months ended May 31, 2025.

How did the equity markets perform during the six months ended May 31, 2025?

Global developed market equities rose 2.21%, as measured by the MSCI World Index (net), for the six-month period. Market gains during the first two months of the period were followed by a steep fall and then a sharp recovery in response to volatile U.S. trade policy and foreign relations. A more confrontational approach to trade and defense from the U.S. administration was a call to action for European policymakers. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced her proposal for €800 billion of defense spending, while Germany’s incoming chancellor Friedrich Merz floated proposals for a €500 billion infrastructure spending plan. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) was also positive about the prospect of fiscal stimulus.

May 31, 2025

The benchmark for the equity portion of the Fund, the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index (net), rose 2.23% for the period, in line with the broader market. Transportation was the best-performing sector during the period. Airports and toll roads performed well due to volume growth and favorable pricing. In addition, many of these companies are located outside of the U.S. and were therefore largely unaffected by trade policy uncertainty.

Communications stocks moved higher, aided by easing interest rates and positive business results. Utility stocks also posted gains due to constructive earnings reports coupled with investors looking for safety amid the market volatility. Midstream energy stocks declined and were the worst performers for the period. Uncertainty stemming from U.S. trade policy led investors to worry about potential economic weakness undercutting demand for commodities. Investors were concerned about the supply side as well, with OPEC+ announcing production increases even in the face of uncertain demand.

What factors affected the performance of the Fund’s equity portfolio during the six-month period?

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the equity portion of the Fund, including the impact of leverage employed by the Fund, returned 4.49% (gross of fees and expenses), while the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index (net), which serves as the equity portfolio’s benchmark, returned 2.23%.

Overall, stock selection positively impacted performance while sector allocation negatively impacted performance. Stock selection was positive in the transportation, utilities, and communications sectors, but was partly offset by stock selection in the midstream energy sector. Sector allocation was hurt by an overweight position in midstream energy, as well as an underweight position in transportation. An overweight position in communications and an underweight position in utilities had negligible performance impacts.

At the security level, the largest contributors to performance were Aena, S.M.E., S.A. (Aena), E.ON SE (E.ON), and Ferrovial. Aena, a state-owned airport operator in Spain, was supported by strong passenger traffic and growing profits. E.ON is a leading electric utility company based in Germany. The stock performed well as management offered a positive outlook through 2028 highlighted by higher electric grid capital expenditures that investors expected to drive earnings and dividend growth. Ferrovial is a multi-national diversified transportation infrastructure company with exposure to toll roads and airports. Ferrovial’s stock traded higher due to strong volume growth and pricing increases that exceeded inflation.

The largest detractors from performance in the portfolio were ONEOK, Inc., Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), and Sempra Energy. Midstream energy player ONEOK transports energy products predominately in the central and western U.S. The stock underperformed as ONEOK reported earnings below investor expectations, raising questions about the full-year outlook.

PG&E is a utility serving central and northern California. Although there were no significant wildfires in the company’s territory during the period, PG&E has suffered losses from wildfires in the past. The stock traded down as wildfires impacted the territory of a neighboring utility resulting in investor concern that public funds to support wildfire victims may be depleted. We have retained the PG&E position and continue to monitor the situation.

Sempra Energy operates regulated utilities in California and Texas and is a leading producer of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). The stock underperformed as Sempra management reported current earnings and future guidance that were both below investor expectations. Near-term earnings pressure was due to regulatory concerns and LNG project delays. Management also noted a substantial increase in forecasted capital needs to support future growth. We believe the issues facing Sempra are temporary in nature and we have added to our position.

What factors affected the performance of the Fund’s fixed income portfolio during the six-month period?

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the fixed income portion of the Fund, including the impact of leverage employed by the Fund, returned 2.85% (gross of fees and expenses), while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which serves as the fixed income portfolio’s benchmark, returned 0.77%.

The portfolio’s allocations to bank loans and emerging markets high yield, as well as the weighting to residential mortgage-backed securities over agency mortgage-backed securities, all had a positive impact on performance for the six-month period. Issue selection within asset-backed securities was also positive for the period.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

Risk Considerations

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.

Management: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. Judgments by the Fund’s subadvisers about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results.

Infrastructure: A Fund that focuses its investments in infrastructure-related companies will be more sensitive to conditions affecting their business or operations such as local economic and political conditions, regulatory changes, and environmental issues.

Foreign Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less publicly available information about the foreign investment, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

Utilities Sector Concentration: The equity portfolio’s investments are concentrated in the utilities sector and may present more risks than if the equity portion of the Fund were broadly diversified.

High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.

Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.

Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended May 31, 2025.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
May 31, 2025

Note 1. Organization

Global Multi-Sector Income Fund, Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund, and Total Return Fund Inc. (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) are closed-end, management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Global Multi-Sector Income Fund is diversified and was formed as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 23, 2011. Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund is non-diversified and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 22, 2010. Total Return Fund Inc. is diversified and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 21, 1988. Each Fund’s investment objective is outlined in the respective Manager’s Discussion of Fund Performance pages. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objective.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements and for derivatives, included in Note 3 below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 and those differences could be significant.

Security Valuation

The Funds’ Boards of Trustees/Directors have designated the investment adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.

	• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).
	• Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
	• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
	A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
	Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available,

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Illiquid, restricted equity securities and illiquid private placements are internally fair valued by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee, and are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.

Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, restricted securities, and leveraged loans are valued based on either evaluated or composite quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives, such as options and futures, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, swaps, swaptions, options and equity linked instruments, are valued based on model prices provided by independent pricing services or from dealer quotes. Depending on the derivative type and the specific terms of the transaction, these models vary and include observable inputs in actively quoted markets including but not limited to: underlying reference entity details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividend and exchange rates. These instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a bilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the last posted settlement price determined by the respective exchange. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 within the hierarchy.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

B.	Security Transactions and Investment Income
	Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Conversion premium is not amortized. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
	Dividend income from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
	If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.
C.	Income Taxes
	Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
	As a result of court cases involving several countries across the European Union, certain Funds have filed tax reclaims in addition to treaty-based claims, in respect of previously withheld taxes on dividends earned (“EU tax reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by each local jurisdiction’s tax authority, as well as judicial proceedings. EU tax reclaim and associated interest entitlements that have been recognized, if any, are reflected as European Union tax reclaims in the Statements of Operations. Related receivables, if any, are reflected as European Union tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, unless Management of the Funds believes that recovery amounts are collectible and free from significant contingencies, recoveries will not be reflected in a Fund’s net asset value. EU tax reclaims and related interest entitlements recognized by a Fund, if any, may reduce

	the amount of foreign taxes, if any, that a Fund could elect to pass-through- to its shareholders from a U.S. federal tax perspective.
	Each Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
	Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Fund’s U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction.
D.	Distributions to Shareholders
	Global Multi-Sector Income Fund and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund declare distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
	Total Return Fund Inc. has a Managed Distribution Plan which currently provides for the Fund to make a monthly distribution of $0.05 per share. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.
	Distributions may represent earnings from net investment income, realized capital gains, or, if necessary, return of capital.
E.	Foreign Currency Transactions
	Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. For fixed income instruments, the Funds bifurcate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. For equity securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
F.	Credit Linked Notes
	Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund may invest in credit linked notes to obtain economic exposure to high yield, emerging markets or other securities. Investments in a credit linked note typically provide the holder with a return based on the return of an underlying reference instrument, such as an emerging market bond. Like an investment

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

	in a bond, investments in credit linked securities represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the security. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying reference instrument, an investment in a credit linked note is also subject to liquidity risk, market risk, interest rate risk and the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the note.
G.	Payment-In-Kind Securities
	The Funds may invest in payment-in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment-in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.
H.	When-Issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery)
	The Funds may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Funds to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. The Funds record when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. The Funds maintain collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.
I.	Leveraged Loans
	The Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the leveraged loan. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
	A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities

	responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due.
	The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally SOFR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.
	A Fund may invest in both secured loans and “covenant lite” loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The lack of financial maintenance covenants in covenant lite loans increases the risk that the applicable Fund will experience difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of such loans, which may result in losses, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle.
J.	Expenses
	Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to a Fund and each such other fund, or an alternative allocation method, can be more appropriately used.
	In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests.
K.	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at financial institutions, and are inclusive of dollar denominated cash, foreign currency, cash collateral pledged for swaps, and cash pledged as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.
L.	Segment Reporting
	Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, established disclosure requirements relating to operating segments in financial statements. The Funds have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to enhance reportable operating segment disclosure requirements. Operating segments are defined as components of a reporting entity about which separate financial information, including disclosures about income and expenses, is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess each operating segment’s performance. Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of each Fund’s Board of Trustees, the Fund’s Adviser acts as each Fund’s CODM. The CODM monitors the Fund’s operating results as a whole, and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on its defined investment objective. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund’s financial statements. Adoption of the new

standard impacted the Funds’ financial statement note disclosures only and did not affect any Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations.

Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions

($ reported in thousands)

Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund.

A.	Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
	A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of the contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency.
	During the six months ended May 31, 2025, Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after a Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
B.	Options Contracts
	An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. The Funds may purchase or write both put and call options on portfolio securities. When doing so, the Fund is subject to equity price risk and/or foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
	When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. Holdings of the Fund designated to cover outstanding written options are noted in the Schedules of Investments. Purchased options are reported as an asset within “Investment in securities at value” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Written options are reported as a liability within “Written options at value.” Changes in value of the purchased option are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments” in the Statements of Operations. Changes in value of written options

100

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

	are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from written options” in the Statements of Operations.
	If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” in the Statements of Operations. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as “Net realized gain (loss) from written options” in the Statements of Operations.
	The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced security/currency increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced security/currency decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. Writers (sellers) of options are subject to unlimited risk of loss, as the seller will be obligated to deliver or take delivery of the security at a predetermined price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the then-market value. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but retains the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.
	During the six months ended May 31, 2025, Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund invested in purchased call and put options contracts in an attempt to manage foreign currency risk and with the purpose of generating realized gains.
C.	Swaps
	A Fund enters into swap agreements, in which a Fund and a counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are negotiated in the Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). The value of the swap is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Over-the-counter swaps at value” and as “Variation margin receivable/payable on cleared swaps” for centrally cleared swaps. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps” in the Statement of Operations.
	Any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown under “Over-the-counter swaps at value” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized over the term of the swap for OTC swaps. When a swap is terminated, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the unamortized premium received or paid. Cash settlements between a Fund and the counterparty are

101

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

	recognized as “Net realized gain (loss) on swaps” in the Statement of Operations. Swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after a Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
	In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. A Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a clearing broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the clearing broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap.
	Securities deposited as margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash collateral pledged for swaps.”
	Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
	Credit default swaps – A Fund may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on a combination or basket of single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to any of the referenced entities (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, a Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, a Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. A Fund may enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

	A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on derivatives bought or sold OTC rather than traded on a securities exchange, is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by a Fund. For OTC purchased options, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate a Fund, and not the counterparty to perform.
	With exchange traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps generally speaking, there is less counterparty credit risk to a Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to a Fund.
	In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
E.	Collateral Requirements and Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”)
	For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty.

	Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Typically, a Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
	For financial reporting purposes, a Fund does not offset derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
	The following tables present Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and net of the related collateral received/pledged by a Fund as of May 31, 2025:

significant impact on the Funds and their investments, including hampering the ability of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest each Fund’s assets as intended.

Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Since these markets are often small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression because of adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the actions of a few large investors. They may also have policies that restrict investment by foreigners, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will.

Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war and civil unrest. Each of these factors can affect the value and liquidity of the assets of the Fund. Failure to generate adequate earnings from foreign trade would make it difficult for an emerging market country to service foreign debt. Disruptions resulting from social and political factors may cause the securities markets of emerging market countries to close. If this were to occur, the liquidity and value of each Fund’s assets invested in corporate debt obligations of emerging market companies would decline.

The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the Funds from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact each Fund’s liquidity and performance.

Sanctions threatened or imposed may result in a decline in the value and liquidity of each Fund’s assets. The securities of the Funds may be deemed to have a zero value. The Funds may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. If the Funds are forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV and dilute investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.

For all these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. To the extent that the Funds invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular emerging

market, the Funds will be more vulnerable to financial, economic, political and other developments in that country, and conditions that negatively impact that country will have a greater impact on the Funds as compared with a fund that does not have its holdings concentrated in a particular country.

High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.

The Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on the Funds, positive or negative, than if the Funds did not concentrate their investments in such sectors.

At May 31, 2025, Total Return Fund Inc. held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors as detailed below:

Sector		Percentage of Total Investments
Utilities		38%

Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund leverages its portfolio through entering into reverse repurchase agreements or the issuance of debt securities. Global Multi-Sector Income Fund and Total Return Fund Inc. borrow through their margin financing facility for the purpose of leveraging their portfolio. While leverage presents opportunities for increasing each Fund’s total return, it also has the effect of potentially increasing losses. Accordingly, any event which adversely affects the value of an investment held by the Funds would be magnified to the extent the Funds are leveraged.

Note 8. Borrowings

($ reported in thousands)

Margin Financing

Global Multi-Sector Income Fund has a Master Margin Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a commercial bank (the “Bank”) that allows the Fund to borrow cash from the Bank, up to a limit of $55,000 (the “Commitment Amount”). Effective May 12, 2025, the Commitment Amount was reduced to $50,000. Borrowings under the New Agreement are covered by investments of the Fund. The Agreement results in the Fund being subject to certain covenants including posting collateral. If the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the borrowed sum, necessitating the sale of securities at potentially inopportune times. Interest is charged at Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”) plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed, and commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance, if less than 75% of the Commitment Amount is borrowed at a given time.

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Fund had average borrowings of $42,086 with an average interest rate of 5.21%. Interest and commitment fees accrued for the six months ended May 31, 2025 were $1,108 and $4, respectively, and are included in the “Interest

Outstanding Borrowings		Interest Rate

Total Return Fund Inc. has a Master Margin Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a commercial bank (the “Bank”) that allows the Fund to borrow cash from the Bank, up to a limit of $200,000 (the “Commitment Amount”). Cash borrowings under the Agreement are secured by assets of the Fund that are held with the Fund’s custodian in a separate account. Interest is charged at the OBFR plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed, and commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance, if less than 75% of the Commitment Amount is borrowed at a given time. For the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Fund had average borrowings of $167,310 with an average interest rate of 5.18%. For the same period, the interest expense related to the borrowings amounted to $4,383 and is included with in the “Interest expense on borrowings” line on the Statement of Operations. The carrying value approximates fair value of the borrowing at May 31, 2025.

At May 31, 2025, the amount of outstanding borrowings was as follows:

Outstanding Borrowings		Interest Rate
$164,900		5.16%

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund may borrow from banks and other financial institutions and may also borrow additional funds by entering into reverse repurchase agreements or the issuance of debt securities (collectively, “Borrowings”) in an amount that does not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund’s Managed Assets (defined in Note 4) immediately after such transactions. It is possible that following such Borrowings, the assets of the Fund will decline due to market conditions such that this 33 1/3% limit will be exceeded. In that case, the leverage risk to Common Shareholders will increase.

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund delivers a security to a financial institution, the counterparty, in exchange for cash with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to counterparties are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statement of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. The segregated assets are found on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments as full or partially pledged securities. The total amount of securities pledged and cash collateral received at May 31, 2025 was $52,272 and $603, respectively. As all agreements can be terminated by either party on demand, face value approximates

Note 9. Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Funds, Trustees/Directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and that have not occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 10. Capital Shares and Capital Transactions

At May 31, 2025, Global Multi-Sector Income Fund has one class of common stock with no par value of which unlimited shares are authorized and 11,313,094 shares are outstanding.

Note 11. Offering of Common Shares

($ reported in thousands)

Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund has an effective shelf registration statement offering up to $80,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 (“common shares”) (the “Offering”). The common shares may be offered and sold directly to purchasers, through at-the-market offerings using a distributor, or through a combination of these methods. Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund entered into an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC to serve as the Fund’s distributor (“Distributor”). The Distributor entered into a sub-placement agent agreement with UBS Securities LLC. Initial costs incurred in connection with the Offering are recorded as “Prepaid expenses” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As shares are sold, the portion of the costs attributed to the shares sold are amortized.

For the six months ended May 31, 2025, Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund issued 1,557,872 shares, resulting in net proceeds of $7,811 and amortized $19 in offering costs recorded as a reduction in paid in surplus on common shares.

Note 12. Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities. At May 31, 2025, the Funds did not hold any securities that were restricted.

Note 13. Reorganization

($ reported in thousands)

On May 22, 2023, the shareholders of Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) approved the issuance of additional common shares in connection with the proposed reorganization of Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Total Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Acquiring Fund. Pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, the Acquiring Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund in exchange for an equal aggregate value of the Acquiring Fund’s shares. The Acquiring Fund is the legal and accounting survivor out of the reorganization.

Each shareholder of the Acquired Fund received shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the NAV of their Acquired Fund shares, as determined at the close of business on December 15, 2023. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares and was

115

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

May 31, 2025

effective after the close of business on December 15, 2023. The share transactions associated with the reorganization are as follows:

Acquired Fund Shares Outstanding		Shares Converted to the Acquiring Fund		Acquired Fund Net Assets		Conversion Ratio
10,053,109		11,598,599		$51,054*		1.153733

* Includes net unrealized depreciation of $(2,434) at the close of business on December 15, 2023.

The net assets and composition of net assets for the Fund on December 15, 2023, were as follows:

Acquiring Fund’s Net Assets		Common Stock ($0.001 par value unlimited shares authorized)		Capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest		Total distributable earnings (accumulated losses)
$76,378		$17		$224,724		$(148,363)

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately after the acquisition amounted to $127,432.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2023, the beginning of the fiscal period of the Acquiring Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended November 30, 2024 would have been as follows:

Net investment income (loss)	$13,157 ^(a)
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments	21,194 ^(b)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$34,351

^(a) $12,964, as reported in the Statement of Operations, plus $193 net investment income from the Acquired Fund pre-reorganization.

^(b) $19,682, as reported in the Statement of Operations, plus $1,512 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments from the Acquired Fund pre-merger.

Because the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund have been managed as an integrated single fund since the merger was completed, it is also not feasible to separate the income/(losses) and gains/(losses) of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Operations since December 15, 2023.

Note 14. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

From time to time, the Funds, the Adviser, the subadvisers, and/or their respective affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by

various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, and laws and regulations affecting their activities. At this time, the Funds and the Adviser believe that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.

Note 15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, while removing certain disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact.

Note 16. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

On May 30, 2025, Benjamin Caron, CFA, senior managing director and portfolio manager at Newfleet Asset Management, was added as a portfolio manager for the Registrant, while Connie Luecke, CFA, senior managing director and senior portfolio manager at Duff & Phelps stepped down as a portfolio manager to the Registrant.

Benjamin Caron, CFA, is a senior managing director and portfolio manager at Newfleet Asset Management, a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC (“VFIA”). He is a member of the multi-sector portfolio management team. Mr. Caron is co-portfolio manager and assists in the management of several multi-sector fixed income open-end and closed-end mutual funds, ETFs, and off-shore vehicles that the team manages. Prior to being appointed a portfolio manager, Mr. Caron assisted in the management of the Registrant.

Prior to joining Newfleet in 2011, Mr. Caron was on the multi-sector portfolio management team at Goodwin Capital Advisers, the former Phoenix Investment Counsel (PIC). He joined PIC in 2002 as a client service associate for the institutional markets group focusing on institutional fixed income clients. Earlier in his career, he was with Fidelity Investments, where he was responsible for client management and sales in the managed account group.

Mr. Caron earned a B.A. from Syracuse University and an M.B.A. from Suffolk University. He is a CFA^® (Chartered Financial Analyst^®) charterholder. Mr. Caron began his career in the investment industry in 1997.

Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Member and Potential Conflicts of Interest

As of May 31, 2025:


Name of Portfolio Manager or Team Member	Type of Accounts	Total No. of Accounts Managed	Total Assets (in millions)	No. of Accounts where Advisory Fee is Based on Performance	Total Assets in Accounts where Advisory Fee is Based on Performance
Benjamin Caron, CFA	Registered Investment Companies	7	$1,610	0	$0
	Other Pooled Investment Vehicles	1	$50	0	$0
	Other Accounts	0	$0	0	$0

There may be certain inherent conflicts of interest that arise in connection with the portfolio managers’ management of a Fund’s investments and the investments of any other accounts they manage. Such conflicts could include the aggregation of orders for all accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager, the allocation of purchases across all such accounts, the allocation of IPOs and any soft dollar arrangements that the relevant subadviser may have in place that could benefit the Funds and/or such other accounts. The Board has adopted on behalf of the Funds policies and procedures designed to address any such conflicts of interest to ensure that all transactions are executed in the best interest of the Funds’ shareholders. Each subadviser is required to certify its compliance with these procedures to the Board on a quarterly basis. There have been no material compliance issues with respect to any of these policies and procedures during the Funds’ most recent fiscal year. Additionally, any conflicts of interest between the investment strategies of a Fund and the investment strategies of other accounts managed by portfolio managers are not expected to be material since portfolio managers generally manage funds and other accounts having similar investment strategies.

Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

Virtus and certain of its affiliated investment management firms, including Newfleet Asset Management, (collectively in this section, “Virtus”), believe that the firm’s compensation program is adequate and competitive to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Investment professionals at Virtus receive a competitive base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and a benefits package. Certain professionals who supervise and manage others also participate in a management incentive program reflecting their personal contribution

and team performance. Certain key individuals also have the opportunity to take advantage of a long-term incentive compensation program, including potential awards of Virtus restricted stock units (“Virtus RSUs”) with multi-year vesting, subject to Virtus board of directors’ approval. Following is a more detailed description of Virtus’ compensation structure.

Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a fixed base salary, which is designed to be competitive in light of the individual’s experience and responsibilities. Base salary is determined using compensation survey results of investment industry compensation conducted by an independent third party in evaluating competitive market compensation for its investment management professionals.

Incentive Bonus. Annual incentive payments are based on targeted compensation levels, adjusted based on profitability, investment performance factors and a subjective assessment of contribution to the team effort. The short-term incentive payment is generally paid in cash, but a portion may be made in Virtus RSUs and mutual fund investments that appreciate or depreciate in value based on the returns of one or more mutual funds managed by the investment professional. Individual payments are assessed using comparisons of actual investment performance with specific peer group or index measures. (Current benchmarks and/or peer groups are indicated in the table below.) Performance of the Funds managed is generally measured over one-, three- and five-year periods and an individual manager’s participation is based on the performance of each Fund/account managed.

Disclosure of Securities Ownership

For the most recently completed fiscal period ended May 31, 2025, beneficial ownership of shares of the Fund by Mr. Caron, is as follows. Beneficial ownership was determined in accordance with rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.161-1(a)(2)).
