CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIC GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC.
THIRD QUARTER REPORT - 9/30/99

- ----------
Dear Shareholders:                                              October 25, 1999

We are writing to report on the activities of Credit Suisse Asset Management
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. ("the Fund") for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 and to discuss our investment strategy.

    At September 30, 1999, the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") was $8.90,
compared to an NAV of $9.29 at June 30, 1999. The Fund's total return (based on
NAV and assuming reinvestment of dividends of $0.29 per share) for the period
was -0.8%. For the first nine months of 1999, the Fund returned 4.9%.

    At September 30, 1999, $48.4 million was invested in high yield debt
securities; $1.9 million in investment-grade debt securities; $15.3 million in
emerging-market debt securities; and the balance of $8.7 million in
developed-world debt securities, equity securities and cash equivalents. Of the
debt securities, the largest concentration (57.0%) was invested in B-rated
issues.

THE MARKET: MORE FED-WATCHING

    Much as they did in the second quarter, participants in global fixed income
markets expended considerable time and effort in trying to determine whether the
Federal Reserve would raise short-term U.S. interest rates again, after doing so
by a quarter of a percentage point on June 30.

    Trading activity throughout the quarter was volatile, as investors bought
and sold according to whatever hints they could glean about Fed monetary policy
from things like announcements of macroeconomic data and public comments by Fed
Chairman Alan Greenspan. By the time the Fed raised rates by another
quarter-point at its policy meeting on August 24, the market was expecting such
a move and investors responded with a burst of buying.

    Obsessive Fed-watching subsided a bit in September, as investors paid
greater attention to conditions on a number of fronts. The yen continued its
remarkable upward reversal versus the U.S. dollar, for instance, raising
concerns about its potentially destabilizing impact on the Japanese economy. The
dollar, for its part, also suffered from the news that the U.S. trade deficit
hit yet another record high in August. And strength in key commodities like oil
and gold rekindled fears about a resurgence in global inflation.

    Trading liquidity tended to be low, as it was in most fixed income sectors.
This was a result of a number of factors, including dealers' determination to
minimize their own exposure to market risk by generally maintaining lower
inventories of most securities; Y2K-related concerns; and an increase in the
difference in yield between Treasury securities and high-quality corporate
bonds, which is a closely watched indicator of risk.

    As measured by the Salomon Smith Barney High-Yield Market Index (SSBHYMI),
the broad high yield market fell 1.7% during the quarter. It thus underperformed
investment-grade securities, which (in the form of the Lehman Brothers U.S.
Aggregate Bond Index) rose 0.7%. High yield's decline reflected mostly
big-picture influences like Fed-watching and the others cited above, rather than
factors specific to high yield itself.

    Emerging market debt, by contrast, was relatively strong in this
environment, as J.P. Morgan's Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (EMBI+) rose
1.2%. Unlike high yield and investment-grade issues, emerging debt was able to
shrug off big-picture worries. Strength in the prices of oil and gold--which
fanned inflationary fears in developed-world markets--was considered favorable
for emerging nations, since the economies of many are heavily dependent on
commodity exports.

PERFORMANCE: DRIVEN BY STRENGTH IN HIGH YIELD

    The Fund performed comparatively well during the quarter, driven by the high
yield portion of the portfolio.

    HIGH YIELD.  We attribute the Fund's outperformance of the broad high yield
market to the positive impact of several of our sector allocation decisions:

    - We maintained exposure to the cable/media, gaming and telecommunications
      sectors at levels higher than those of broad high yield indices like
      SSBHYMI. This helped the Fund's overall performance in that each of these
      sectors outperformed high yield more generally.

    - We minimized exposure to health care facilities and supplies companies,
      which significantly underperformed the market.

    - The factor that most negatively affected performance was our relatively
      low exposure to the energy sector, which was among the strongest in high
      yield in the quarter.

    INTERNATIONAL.  Performance of the emerging markets portion of the
portfolio, which accounted for nearly one-quarter of total assets, lagged that
of emerging debt markets generally. This was because we did not own enough
"Brady" bonds, which are backed by U.S. Treasury debt, based on their
vulnerability to fluctuation in U.S. interest rates; and our allocations to
Venezuela and Argentina.

                                       2
<PAGE>
OUTLOOK: CAUTIOUS IN NEAR TERM, OPTIMISTIC FURTHER AHEAD

    HIGH YIELD.  Our near-term outlook for the high yield market is one of
caution. This is primarily due to our expectation that investor nervousness
about Y2K and its potential dangers for corporate and government technology
systems will keep an unusually high proportion of market participants on the
sidelines during the fourth quarter. This environment should apply not simply to
high yield, incidentally, but to equity and debt markets worldwide. Trading
liquidity should decline and market uncertainty should rise accordingly.

    There is also the matter of lingering concern that the Federal Reserve might
choose to raise short-term interest rates again at its remaining monetary policy
meetings on November 16 and December 21. Although we don't necessarily expect
such a move, we can't rule it out, either, since the Fed adopted a tightening
bias on October 5 and the futures market is forecasting rates to rise another 50
basis points or so by year-end.

    We are less guardedly optimistic when the time horizon stretches into next
year, as a number of factors support a more bullish scenario for the first
quarter:

    - The Y2K phenomenon will have come and gone, and in its wake should leave
      valuations at more attractive levels.

    - The economy should stay strong, which is traditionally favorable for high
      yield issuers.

    - Liquidity should return to the market from a combination of dealers with
      more risk capital available for trading and inventory once 1999 is over;
      individuals and institutions returning from the sidelines with fresh cash
      and a renewed appetite for buying; and issuers eager to tap the market
      once the worst of Y2K-based anxiety has passed.

    - Investor tolerance for risk tends to increase at the beginning of a
      calendar year.

    The essential strategy with which we have managed the Fund's high yield
portion for some time remains intact. We are keeping the portfolio most heavily
weighted in telecommunications, cable/media and gaming, whose positive industry
and company fundamentals are unchanged. We are also selectively adding to
positions in economically sensitive industries such as paper and energy, whose
underlying fundamentals are beginning to show genuine signs of improvement, and
will continue to do so if this trend continues.

    If, as we expect, the high yield market enjoys greater investor interest in
the first quarter of next year, we are confident that we have positioned the
Fund to benefit accordingly.

    INTERNATIONAL.  Our near-term view on the prospects for emerging debt
markets also is cautious, but less so than for high yield. Problematic factors,
such as the possibility of heavy new issuance well before the year 2000 and
election-based nervousness in Mexico and Argentina, may be offset to some extent
by the availability of substantial new cash generated from the amortization of
large quantities of Argentine and Brazilian Brady debt in mid-October.

    Looking further ahead, we are more optimistic. Concern about the factors
noted above should dissipate and thus allow investors to re-focus their
attention on improving fundamentals in many developing nations and the markets'
stronger technical environment.

    Country allocations in the portfolio's emerging allocation continue to
emphasize Latin American markets. Relative to EMBI+, we have raised exposure in
Brazil and Argentina to an overweight from neutral; and remain overweight in
Mexico and Venezuela. Positions in Asia reflect greater caution due to our sense
that valuations there already include favorable expectations.

    As developments occur that we believe would be of interest to you, we will
keep you informed. Meanwhile, if you have any questions about your portfolio or
the capital markets generally, please feel free to call upon us at any time.

    We appreciate your interest in the Fund and would be pleased to respond to
your questions or comments. Any questions regarding net asset value,
performance, dividends, portfolio management or allocations should be directed
to Credit Suisse Asset Management at (800) 293-1232. All other inquiries
regarding account information or requests for a prospectus or other reports
should be directed to the Fund's Shareholder Servicing Agent at (800) 428-8890.

FROM CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT:

    I. Effective January 12, 1999, the Fund's investment adviser, BEA
Associates, changed its name to Credit Suisse Asset Management ("CSAM"). In
making the announcement, the firm said that it expected the new name to enhance
its recognition as a global asset manager. Credit Suisse Asset Management is the
investment division of Credit Suisse Group, one of the world's largest financial
organizations, with $600 billion in assets under management.

    II. Effective May 11, 1999, the BEA Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
announced that, following approval by shareholders at their Annual Shareholders'
Meeting held on May 10, 1999, the Fund had changed its name to Credit Suisse
Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. The Fund's ticker symbol on
the New York Stock Exchange changed to "CGF" from "FBI" accordingly.

    III. Effective September 7, 1999, shareholders whose shares are registered
in their own name automatically participate in a dividend reinvestment program
known as the InvestLinkSM Program (the "Program"). The Program can be of value
to shareholders in maintaining their proportional ownership interest in the Fund
in an easy and convenient way. A shareholder whose shares are held in the name
of a broker/dealer or nominee should contact the Fund's Transfer Agent for
details about participating in the Program. The Program also provides for
additional share purchases. The Program is described on pages 17 through 18 of
this report.

    IV. The Fund issued to its shareholders of record as of the close of
business on September 27, 1999, non-transferable Rights to subscribe for up to
an aggregate of 3,522,559 shares of Common Stock of the Fund at a rate of one
share of Common Stock for three Rights held at the subscription price of $6.38
per share. During October 1999, the Fund issued a total of 3,522,559 shares of
Common Stock on exercise of such Rights. Rights' offering costs of $441,000 were
charged directly against the proceeds of the Offering.

    V. Many services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by CSAM and the
Fund's service providers rely on the functioning of their respective computer
systems. Many computer systems cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the year
1900, with resulting potential difficulty in performing various calculations
(the "Year 2000 Issue"). The Year 2000 Issue could potentially have an adverse
impact on the handling of security trades, the payment of interest and
dividends, pricing, account services and other Fund operations.

    CSAM recognizes the importance of the Year 2000 Issue and is taking
appropriate steps necessary in preparation for the year 2000. At this time,
there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any
adverse impact on the Fund, nor can there be any assurance that the Year 2000
Issue will have an adverse effect on the Fund's investments or on global markets
or economies, generally.

    CSAM anticipates that its systems will be adapted in time for the year 2000.
CSAM is seeking assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's
other major service providers. CSAM will be monitoring the Year 2000 Issue in an
effort to ensure appropriate preparation.

    * Richard J. Lindquist, who is a Managing Director of Credit Suisse Asset
Management ("CSAM"), formerly known as BEA Associates, is primarily responsible
for management of the Fund's assets. He has served in such capacity since
November 21, 1996. Prior to that date, he served as Vice President to the Fund,
a position he assumed on August 15, 1989. Mr. Lindquist joined CSAM on May 1,
1995 as a result of CSAM's acquisition of CS First Boston Investment Management
Corporation ("CSFBIM"). Prior to joining CSAM and beginning in July, 1989, he
held various offices at CSFBIM. Mr. Lindquist also is President and Chief
Investment Officer of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

    ** William W. Priest, Jr., who is a Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer-Americas of Credit Suisse Asset Management ("CSAM"), formerly known as
BEA Associates, joined CSAM in 1972. Mr. Priest is Director and President of The
Indonesia Fund, Inc. and Director and Chairman of the Board of Credit Suisse
Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.; The Brazilian Equity Fund, Inc.; The Chile
Fund, Inc.; The Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund, Inc.; The Emerging Markets
Telecommunications Fund, Inc.; The First Israel Fund, Inc.; The Latin America
Equity Fund, Inc.; The Latin America Investment Fund, Inc.; and The Portugal
Fund, Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF INVESTLINK-SM-* PROGRAM

- ---------

The InvestLink-SM- Program is sponsored and administered by BankBoston, N.A.,
not by Credit Suisse Asset Management Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"). BankBoston, N.A. will act as program administrator (the "Program
Administrator") of the InvestLink-SM- Program (the "Program"). The purpose of
the Program is to provide interested investors with a simple and convenient way
to invest funds and reinvest dividends in shares of the Fund's common stock
("Shares") at prevailing prices, with reduced brokerage commissions and fees.
    An interested investor may join the Program at any time. Purchases of Shares
with funds from a participant's cash payment or automatic account deduction will
begin on the next day on which funds are invested. If a participant selects the
dividend reinvestment option, automatic investment of dividends generally will
begin with the next dividend payable after the Program Administrator receives
his enrollment form. Once in the Program, a person will remain a participant
until he terminates his participation or sells all Shares held in his Program
account, or his account is terminated by the Program Administrator. A
participant may change his investment options at any time by requesting a new
enrollment form and returning it to the Program Administrator.
    A participant will be assessed certain charges in connection with his
participation in the Program. First-time investors will be subject to an initial
service charge which will be deducted from their initial cash deposit. All
optional cash deposit investments will be subject to a service charge. Sales
processed through the Program will have a service fee deducted from the net
proceeds, after brokerage commissions. In addition to the transaction charges
outlined above, participants will be assessed per share processing fees (which
include brokerage commissions.) Participants will not be charged any fee for
reinvesting dividends.
    The number of Shares to be purchased for a participant depends on the amount
of his dividends, cash payments or bank account or payroll deductions, less
applicable fees and commissions, and the purchase price of the Shares. The
Program Administrator uses dividends and funds of participants to purchase
Shares of the Fund's common stock in the open market. Such purchases will be
made by participating brokers as agent for the participants using normal cash
settlement practices. All Shares purchased through the Program will be allocated
to participants as of the settlement date, which is usually three business days
from the the purchase date. In all cases, transaction processing will occur
within 30 days of the receipt of funds, except where temporary curtailment or
suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the
Federal Securities laws or when unusual market conditions make prudent
investment impracticable. In the event the Program Administrator is unable to
purchase Shares within 30 days of the receipt of funds, such funds will be
returned to the participants.
    The average price of all Shares purchased by the Program Administrator with
all funds received during the time period from two business days preceding any
investment date up to the second business day preceding the next investment date
shall be the price per share allocable to a participant in connection with the
Shares purchased for his account with his funds or dividends received by the
Program Administrator during such time period. The average price of all Shares
sold by the Program Administrator pursuant to sell orders received during such
time period shall be the price per share allocable to a participant in
connection with the Shares sold for his account pursuant to his sell orders
received by the Program Administrator during such time period.
    BankBoston, N.A., as Program Administrator, administers the Program for
participants, keeps records, sends statements of account to participants and
performs other duties relating to the Program. Each participant in the Program
will receive a statement of his account following each purchase of Shares. The
statements will also show the amount of dividends credited to such participant's
account (if applicable), as well as the fees paid by the participant. In
addition, each participant will receive copies of the Fund's annual and
semi-annual reports to shareholders, proxy statements and, if applicable,
dividend income information for tax reporting purposes.
    If the Fund is paying dividends on the Shares, a participant will receive
dividends through the Program for all Shares held on the dividend record date on
the basis of full and fractional Shares held in his account, and for all other
Shares of the Fund registered in his name. The Program Administrator will send
checks to the participants for the amounts of their dividends that are not to be
automatically reinvested at no cost to the participants.
    Shares of the Fund purchased under the Program will be registered in the
name of the accounts of the respective participants. Unless requested, the Fund
will not issue to participants certificates for Shares of the Fund purchased
under the Program. The Program Administrator will hold the Shares in book-entry
form until a Program participant chooses to withdraw his Shares or terminate his
participation in the Program. The number of Shares purchased for a participant's
account under the Program will be shown on his statement of account. This
feature protects against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates.
    A participant may withdraw all or a portion of the Shares from his Program
account by notifying the Program Administrator. After receipt of a participant's
request, the Program Administrator will issue to such participant certificates
for the whole Shares of the Fund so withdrawn or, if requested by the
participant, sell the Shares for him and send him the proceeds, less applicable
brokerage commissions, fees, and transfer taxes, if any. If a participant
withdraws all full and fractional Shares in his Program account, his
participation in the Program will be terminated by the Program Administrator. In
no case will certificates for fractional Shares be issued. The Program
Administrator will convert any fractional Shares held by a participant at the
time of his withdrawal to cash.
    Participation in any rights offering, dividend distribution or stock split
will be based upon both the Shares of the Fund registered in participants' names
and the Shares (including

                                       17
<PAGE>
fractional Shares) credited to participants' Program accounts. Any stock
dividend or Shares resulting from stock splits with respect to Shares of the
Fund, both full and fractional, which participants hold in their Program
accounts and with respect to all Shares registered in their names will be
automatically credited to their accounts.
    All Shares of the Fund (including any fractional share) credited to his
account under the Program will be voted as the participant directs. The
participants will be sent the proxy materials for the annual meetings of
shareholders. When a participant returns an executed proxy, all of such Shares
will be voted as indicated. A participant may also elect to vote his Shares in
person at the Shareholders' meeting.
    A participant will receive tax information annually for his personal records
and to help him prepare his U.S. federal income tax return. The automatic
reinvestment of dividends does not relieve him of any income tax which may be
payable on dividends. For further information as to tax consequences of
participation in the Program, participants should consult with their own tax
advisors.
    The Program Administrator in administering the Program will not be liable
for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omission to act. However,
the Program Administrator will be liable for loss or damage due to error caused
by its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Shares held in custody by
the Program Administrator are not subject to protection under the Securities
Investors Protection Act of 1970.
    The participant should recognize that neither the Fund nor the Program
Administrator can provide any assurance of a profit or protection against loss
on any Shares purchased under the Program. A participant's investment in Shares
held in his Program account is no different than his investment in directly held
Shares in this regard. The participant bears the risk of loss and the benefits
of gain from market price changes with respect to all of his Shares. Neither the
Fund nor the Program Administrator can guarantee that Shares purchased under the
Program will, at any particular time, be worth more or less than their purchase
price. Each participant must make an independent investment decision based on
his own judgment and research.
    While the Program Administrator hopes to continue the Program indefinitely,
the Program Administrator reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Program
at any time. It also reserves the right to make modifications to the Program.
Participants will be notified of any such suspension, termination or
modification in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program. The
Program Administrator also reserves the right to terminate any participant's
participation in the Program at any time. Any question of interpretation arising
under the Program will be determined in good faith by the Program Administrator
and any such good faith determination will be final.
    Any interested investor may participate in the Program. To participate in
the Program, an investor who is not already a registered owner of the Shares
must make an initial investment of at least $250.00. All other cash payments or
bank account deductions must be at least $100.00, up to a maximum of $100,000.00
annually. An interested investor may join the Program by reading the Program
description, completing and signing the enrollment form and returning it to the
Program Administrator. The enrollment form and information relating to the
Program (including the terms and conditions) may be obtained by calling the
