DEAR SHAREHOLDER
World equity markets registered strong positive returns in US-dollar
terms during the May quarter. Investor sentiment improved
progressively during the three-month period, encouraged by signs
that US economic growth may be slowing sufficiently to keep
inflation under control and thereby preclude further significant
monetary policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve Board. The
broad stock market averages in the United States pushed ahead into
record territory, led by strong advances in the technology sector.
European equities also recovered from weakness earlier in the year,
encouraged by more stable currency markets and the German
Bundesbank's unexpected interest rate cut near the end of March. In
the Pacific Basin, most of the smaller Asian markets posted strong
gains, inspired by prospects of lower interest rates in the United
States. Conversely, Japanese equities declined in local currency
terms as persistent strength in the Japanese yen versus the US
dollar clouded the outlook for corporate profits and economic
growth. For the three-month period ended May 31, 1995, the total
returns for the fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Shares
were +9.21%, +8.95%, +8.85% and +9.12%, respectively, in line with
the total return in US dollars for the unmanaged Morgan Stanley
Capital International World Stock Index of +9.33%.
Portfolio Matters
In Japan, the economic and financial uncertainties which began with
the Kobe earthquake and the collapse of Barings PLC during the
February quarter continued throughout the May quarter as the yen
appreciated sharply against the US dollar. This currency strength
increased uncertainty about the outlook for corporate earnings and
the sustainability of economic recovery in Japan. As expected, many
major Japanese companies reported strong earnings results for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, in response to prior restructuring
efforts. However, companies and analysts are lowering their profit
growth forecasts for the upcoming fiscal year to account for the
strong yen and expectations of modest economic growth. Against this
backdrop, Japanese equity performance has remained lackluster, and
we maintained our underweighted position in Japan during the May
quarter. We reduced our holdings in the automobile-related companies
by selling our position in Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and by taking
profits in Toyota Motor Corp. and Futaba Industrial Co. Sentiment in
this sector suffered from the strong yen and the US-Japan trade
dispute. We used part of the proceeds to increase our holdings in
Omron Corp., a leading manufacturer of control components, which
should benefit from ongoing cost-cutting measures by Japanese
corporations.
<PAGE>
Our long-term positive stance toward the smaller Asian stock markets
continued during the May quarter. As prospects for lower US interest
rates emerged, many of these stock markets rallied sharply,
contributing positively to the fund's performance. Many of these
developing economies are perceived as being highly exposed to
developments in the United States through their US dollar-linked
exchange rates. Smaller Asian stock markets remain overweighted in
the portfolio, and we made no major changes to our individual
security holdings. We continue to focus on companies that have
strong long-term growth prospects and superior financial positions.
European equity markets generally posted solid gains for the May
quarter. Strong corporate earnings reports, a rally in the global
bond markets and an unexpected interest rate cut by the German
Bundesbank improved investor sentiment toward European equities.
Offsetting this positive sentiment somewhat was the continued
weakness of the US dollar, which dampened the profit outlook for
companies with US operations and US dollar-based revenues. The
fund's investments in cyclical stocks mostly lagged the performance
of the broad European stock market averages during the May quarter.
While these cyclical companies trade at attractive valuations,
investor sentiment remained negative as a result of US dollar
weakness and signs of slower worldwide economic growth. Strong
returns were recorded by many of our larger holdings in technology-
driven companies, such as Nokia OY AB, Philips N.V. and Bouygues
S.A. We generally maintained relative country weightings in Europe
with the exception of France, where we increased our exposure.
Valuations in the French market looked particularly attractive after
two years of underperformance.
Our underweighting in North American equity markets held back fund
returns during the May quarter as most broad stock market averages
in the United States continued to achieve record highs. The US
economy grew at an annual rate of just 2.7% in the first quarter of
1995, down sharply from the 5.1% growth experienced in last year's
fourth quarter. This slowdown in growth, however, was welcomed by
investors in both the US equity and bond markets because it reduced
pressure on the US Federal Reserve Board to increase interest rates.
Technology-related companies led the advance, although the rally was
fairly broad. Our relatively large exposure to the technology sector
enhanced fund returns. We increased the fund's exposure to US
equities slightly during the May quarter and established a position
in the Student Loan Marketing Association, a financial intermediary
serving the education credit market, which should benefit from the
trend toward more Government deregulation following last November's
Congressional elections. We also initiated positions in Palmer
Wireless, Inc., a developer and operator of cellular telephone
systems in the southeastern United States, and Value Health Inc., a
provider of specialty managed care programs and healthcare
information systems.
<PAGE>
Investor confidence returned to the Latin American equity markets in
the May quarter. A number of factors contributed to this, including
the incumbent President's convincing first-round election victory in
Argentina, better prospects for fiscal and constitutional reforms in
Brazil, and stronger Mexican debt and currency markets as the
success of the country's stabilization measures became more apparent.
While we remain positive on the longer-term growth prospects for the
region, we used this market strength as an opportunity to eliminate
positions and take profits in our holdings of Empresas ICA Sociedad
Controladora, S.A. de C.V. convertible debt, Telecom Argentina
Stet--France Telecom S.A. and Madeco S.A.
In Conclusion
We thank you for your investment in Merrill Lynch Global Holdings,
Inc., and we look forward to reviewing our outlook and strategy with
you again in our upcoming quarterly report to shareholders.

PERFORMANCE DATA
About Fund Performance
Since October 21, 1994, investors have been able to purchase shares
of the fund through the Merrill Lynch Select Pricing SM System,
which offers four pricing alternatives:
* Class A Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end
load) of 5.25% and bear no ongoing distribution or account
maintenance fees. Class A Shares are available only to eligible
investors.
* Class B Shares are subject to a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 4% if redeemed during the first year, decreasing 1% each
year thereafter to 0% after the fourth year. In addition, Class B
Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% and an account
maintenance fee of 0.25%. These shares automatically convert to
Class D Shares after 8 years.
* Class C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% and an
account maintenance fee of 0.25%. In addition, Class C Shares are
subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
one year of purchase.
* Class D Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge of 5.25% and
an account maintenance fee of 0.25% (but no distribution fee).
<PAGE>
Performance data for the fund's Class A and Class B Shares are
presented in the "Performance Summary," "Recent Performance Results"
and "Average Annual Total Return" tables on pages 4, 5 and 6. Data
for Class C and Class D Shares are also presented in the "Recent
Performance Results" and "Aggregate Total Return" tables on pages 4
and 6.
The "Recent Performance Results" table shows investment results
before the deduction of any sales charges for Class A and Class B
Shares for the 12-month and 3-month periods ended May 31, 1995 and
for Class C and Class D Shares for the since inception and 3-month
periods ended May 31, 1995. All data in this table assume imposition
of the actual total expenses incurred by each class of shares during
the relevant period.
None of the past results shown should be considered a representation
of future performance. Investment return and principal value of
shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class
of shares will vary because of the different levels of account
maintenance, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to
each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid
to shareholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Merrill Lynch Global Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. These unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The Company offers four classes of shares under the Merrill Lynch
Select Pricing SM System. Shares of Class A and Class D are sold with
a front-end sales charge. Shares of Class B and Class C may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and
the same terms and conditions, except that Class B, Class C and
Class D Shares bear certain expenses related to the account
maintenance of such shares, and Class B and Class C Shares also bear
certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating
to its account maintenance and distribution expenditures. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Company.
<PAGE>
(a) Valuation of securities--Portfolio securities which are traded
on stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the exchange
on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on
the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at
the last available bid price. Securities traded in the over-the-
counter market are valued at the last available bid price prior to
the time of valuation. In cases where securities are traded on more
than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange
designated by or under the authority of the Board of Directors as
the primary market. Securities which are traded both in the over-the-
counter market and on a stock exchange are valued according to the
broadest and most representative market. Options written are valued
at the last sale price in the case of exchange-traded options or, in
the case of options traded in the over-the-counter market, the last
asked price. Options purchased are valued at the last sale price in
the case of exchange-traded or, in the case of options traded in the
over-the-counter market, the last bid price. Short-term securities
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other
investments, including futures contracts and related options, are
stated at market value. Securities and assets for which market value
quotations are not available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Company's
Board of Directors.
(b) Foreign currency transactions--Transactions denominated in
foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing when
recognized. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are valued at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Foreign
currency transactions are the result of settling (realized) or
valuing (unrealized) assets or liabilities expressed in foreign
currencies into US dollars. Realized and unrealized gains or losses
from investments include the effects of foreign exchange rates on
investments.
(c) Derivative financial instruments--The Company may engage in
various portfolio strategies to seek to increase its return by
hedging its portfolio against adverse movements in the equity, debt
and currency markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value
of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
<PAGE>
* Options--The Company is authorized to write covered call options
and purchase put options. When the Company writes an option, an
amount equal to the premium received by the Company is reflected as
an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of
the option written.
When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an
option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or
deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from
(or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option
expires (or the Company enters into a closing transaction), the
Company realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the
premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of
the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).
Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.
* Forward foreign exchange contracts--The Company is authorized to
enter into forward foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against
either specific transactions or portfolio positions. Such contracts
are not entered on the Company's records. However, the effect on
operations is recorded from the date the Company enters into such
contracts. Premium or discount is amortized over the life of the
contracts.
* Foreign currency options and futures--The Company may also
purchase or sell listed or over-the-counter foreign currency
options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign
currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible
variations in foreign exchange rates. Such transactions may be
effected with respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated
securities owned by the Company, sold by the Company but not yet
delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the
Company.
* Financial futures contracts--The Company may purchase or sell
interest rate futures contracts and options on such futures
contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing
securities or the intended purchase of securities. Futures contracts
are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific
future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a
contract, the Company deposits and maintains as collateral such
initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction
is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Company agrees to receive
from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are
known as variation margin and are recorded by the Company as
unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Company
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed.
<PAGE>
(d) Income taxes--It is the Company's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a
withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital
gains at various rates.
(e) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed,
certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as
the Company is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on
security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
(f) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are charged
to expense as the related shares are issued.
(g) Dividends and distributions--Dividends and distributions paid by
the Company are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions
with Affiliates:
The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
Merrill Lynch Asset Management, L.P. ("MLAM"). The general partner
of MLAM is Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."), which is
the limited partner. The Company has also entered into a
Distribution Agreement and Distribution Plans with Merrill Lynch
Funds Distributor, Inc. ("MLFD" or "Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc.
As compensation for its services to the Company, the Investment
Adviser receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 1.0% of
the average daily net assets of the Company.
<PAGE>
Certain states in which shares of the Company are qualified for sale
impose limitations on the expenses of the Company. The most
restrictive annual expense limitation requires that the Investment
Adviser reimburse the Company to the extent that expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, distribution fees, brokerage fees and commissions,
and extraordinary items) exceed 2.5% of the Company's first $30
million of average daily net assets, 2.0% of the Company's next $70
million of average daily net assets, and 1.5% of the daily net
assets in excess thereof. The Investment Adviser's obligation to
reimburse the Company is limited to the amount of the investment
advisory fee. No fee payment will be made to the Investment Adviser
during any fiscal year which will cause such expenses to exceed the
most restrictive expense limitation at the time of such payment.
Pursuant to the distribution plans (the "Distribution Plans")
adopted by the Company in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Company pays the Distributor
ongoing account maintenance and distribution fees. The fees are
accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the
average daily net assets of the shares as follows:
Account Distribution
Maintenance Fee Fee
Class B 0.25% 0.75%
Class C 0.25% 0.75%
Class D 0.25% --
Pursuant to a sub-agreement with the Distributor, Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("MLPF&S"), a subsidiary of ML & Co.,
also provides account maintenance and distribution services to the
Company. The ongoing account maintenance fee compensates the
Distributor and MLPF&S for providing account maintenance services to
Class B, Class C and Class D shareholders. The ongoing distribution
fee compensates the Distributor and MLPF&S for providing shareholder
and distribution-related services to Class B and Class C
shareholders.
