JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

INTRODUCTION
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the respective Boards of Directors of ACM Government
Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM I"), ACM Government Securities Fund, Inc. ("ACM II"),
ACM Government Spectrum Fund, Inc. ("ACM III"), ACM Government Opportunity
Fund, Inc. ("ACM IV"), ACM Managed Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM V"), ACM Municipal
Securities Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM VII"), ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc.
("ACM VIII"), Alliance World Dollar Government Fund, Inc. ("AWDGF"), Alliance
World Dollar Government Fund II, Inc. ("AWDGF II") and Alliance All-Market
Advantage Fund, Inc. ("AMA"), each of which is a Maryland corporation
(individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), to be voted at a Joint
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Funds (the "Meeting"), to be held at the
offices of the Funds, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 41st Floor, New York, New
York 10105, on Tuesday, March 9, 1999 at 11:00 a.m. The solicitation will be
made by mail and the cost for each Fund will be borne by that Fund. The Notice
of Meeting, Proxy Statement and Proxy Card are being mailed to stockholders on
or about January 25, 1999.
The Board of Directors of each Fund has fixed the close of business on
December 31, 1998 as the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any adjournment
thereof. The outstanding voting shares of the Funds as of December 31, 1998
consisted, respectively, of 58,239,506 shares of common stock of ACM I,
77,923,379 shares of common stock of ACM II, 37,028,027 shares of common stock
of ACM III, 13,071,872 shares of common stock of ACM IV, 22,506,875 shares of
common stock and 950 shares of Remarketed Preferred Stock, Series A (the "ACM
V Preferred Stock") of ACM V, 10,764,589 shares of common stock and 1,200
shares of each of Municipal Income Preferred Shares, Series A, Series B and
Series C (the "ACM VII Preferred Stock") of ACM VII, 21,743,402 shares of
common stock of ACM VIII, 8,158,623 shares of common stock of AWDGF,
75,733,953 shares of common stock of AWDGF II and 2,512,661 shares of common
stock of AMA, each share being entitled to one vote.
1
<PAGE>
At the Meeting, the holders of ACM V Preferred Stock and the holders of each
class of ACM VII Preferred Stock will have equal voting rights with the
holders of ACM V and ACM VII common stock, respectively (i.e., one vote per
share), and will vote together with the holders of ACM V and ACM VII common
stock as a single class on all proposals to be brought before the Meeting
applicable to each respective Fund. The holders of ACM V Preferred Stock and
ACM VII Preferred Stock voting separately as a class, have the right to elect
two Directors representing the holders of the Preferred Stock of each of their
respective Funds. The holders of ACM V's common stock and the holders of ACM
VII's common stock do not have the right to vote with respect to the election
of those two Directors. The two Directors that have been elected by the
holders of ACM V Preferred Stock and ACM VII Preferred Stock are, for each
Fund, Ruth Block and Robert C. White. Neither Ms. Block nor Mr. White is
standing for re-election at the Meeting as their terms do not expire until the
year 2000.
All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at
the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise
provided therein. Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked,
proxies for a Fund will be voted for the election of three Directors of each
Fund, and with respect to ACM I, II, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, AWDGF & AWDGF II
for the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Funds' independent auditors,
and with respect to AMA for the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as
the Fund's independent accountants for each of their respective fiscal years
ending in 1999. Any stockholder may revoke that stockholder's proxy at any
time prior to exercise thereof by giving written notice to the Secretary of
the Funds at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, by signing
another proxy of a later date or by personally voting at the Meeting.
If a proxy card properly executed is returned with instructions to withhold
authority to vote (an abstention) or represents a broker "non-vote" (that is,
a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not received
instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares
on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or nominee does not
have the discretionary power to vote), the shares represented by the proxy
will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a
quorum for the transaction of business but will have no effect on the outcome
of the shareholder votes. If any proposals other than Proposals One and Two
properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxies will
be voted on all such proposals in the discretion of the person or persons
voting the proxies.
The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the respective stockholders
of the Funds because the stockholders of all the Funds are to consider and
vote on similar matters. Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on
each proposal set forth herein and on any other matters that may arise for
that Fund, and an unfavorable vote on a proposal by the stockholders of one
Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by any other Fund if
such proposal is approved by the stockholders of the other Fund.
A quorum for each Fund for the Meeting will consist of a majority of the
shares outstanding and entitled to vote. In the event that a quorum is not
represented at the Meeting for a Fund or, even if a quorum is so represented,
in the event that sufficient votes in favor of any proposal set forth in the
Notice of Meeting with respect to a Fund are not received, the persons named
as proxies may propose and vote for one or more adjournments of the Meeting
with respect to that Fund with no other notice than announcement at the
Meeting in order to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Meeting may
2
<PAGE>
be adjourned with respect to fewer than all of the proposals in this Proxy
Statement and a stockholder vote may be taken on any one of the proposals
prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval.
Shares represented by proxies indicating a vote against any proposal will be
voted against adjournment.
Each Fund has engaged Shareholder Communications Corporation, 17 State
Street, New York, New York 10004, to assist the Funds in soliciting proxies
for the Meeting. Shareholder Communications Corporation will receive a total
fee of $69,000 for its services, to be paid by each Fund as follows: ACM I--
$10,000, ACM II--$12,500, ACM III--$7,500, ACM IV--$2,500, ACM V--$5,000, ACM
VII--$3,000, ACM VIII--$7,500, AWDGF--$3,000, AWDGF II--$15,000, and AMA--
$3,000; plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Meeting, three Directors of each Fund will be elected to serve for
terms of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified.
With respect to each Fund, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes
cast at the Meeting is required to elect a Director. It is the intention of
the persons named in the enclosed proxy to nominate and vote in favor of the
election of the persons in Class Two as described below.
Pursuant to the Funds' respective Charters and By-Laws, the Board of
Directors of each Fund has been divided into three classes. With respect to
all of the Funds, the term of office of the members in Class Two will expire
as of the Meeting, the term of office of the members in Class Three will
expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2000 and the
term of office of the members in Class One will expire as of the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held in 2001. Upon expiration of the term of
office of each class as set forth above, those persons then elected as
Directors in that class will serve until the third annual meeting of
stockholders following their election. With respect to ACM I, ACM II, ACM III,
ACM IV, ACM V and ACM VII, John H. Dobkin, Clifford L. Michel and Donald J.
Robinson are the members constituting Class One; David H. Dievler, William H.
Foulk, Jr. and Dr. James M. Hester are the members constituting Class Two; and
John D. Carifa, Ruth Block and Robert C. White are the members constituting
Class Three. With respect to ACM VIII, AWDGF, AWDGF II and AMA, David H.
Dievler, Clifford L. Michel and Donald J. Robinson are the members
constituting Class One; John H. Dobkin, William H. Foulk, Jr. and Dr. James M.
Hester are the members constituting Class Two; and Ruth Block, John D. Carifa
and Robert C. White are the members constituting Class Three.
As a result, only those Directors of each Fund in a single class may be
changed in any one year, and it would require two years to change a majority
of the Board of Directors of a Fund (although, under Maryland law, procedures
are available for the removal of Directors even if they are not then standing
for re-election and, under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations,
procedures are available for including appropriate stockholder proposals in
management's annual proxy statement). This system of electing Directors, which
may be regarded as an "anti-takeover" provision, may make it more difficult
for each Fund's stockholders to change the majority of Directors of that Fund
and, thus, have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management.
At the Meeting, three Directors in Class Two of ACM I, ACM II, ACM III, ACM
IV, ACM V, and ACM VII, Messrs. David H. Dievler, William H. Foulk, Jr. and
Dr. James M. Hester, and three Directors
3
<PAGE>
in Class Two of ACM VIII, AWDGF, AWDGF II and AMA, Messrs. John H. Dobkin,
William H. Foulk, Jr. and Dr. James M. Hester are standing for re-election.
Each nominee has consented to serve as a Director. The Boards of Directors
know of no reason why any of these nominees will be unable to serve, but in
the event of such inability, the proxies received will be voted for such
substitute nominees as the Boards of Directors may recommend.
Certain information concerning each Fund's Directors is set forth below.
With respect to each Fund, only the Class Two Directors are standing for
election as Directors.

The Adviser has instituted a policy applicable to all registered investment
companies to which it provides investment advisory services, including the
Funds (collectively, the "Alliance Fund Complex"), contemplating that each
Director will invest specified minimum amounts and (in most cases) an overall
total of at least $150,000 in shares of investment companies within the
Alliance Fund Complex (including the Funds).
During their respective fiscal years ended in 1998, the Boards of Directors
of ACM III and AMA met six times, ACM I, II and VIII met seven times, ACM IV,
V, VIII and AWDGF met eight times and AWDGF II met nine times. The Audit
Committee of each Fund meets during the fiscal year for the purposes described
below in Proposal Two. The Audit Committees of ACM I, II, III, VIII and AWDGF
II met once during each Fund's most recently completed respective fiscal year.
The Audit Committees of ACM IV, V, VII, AWDGF and AMA met twice during each
Fund's most recently completed respective fiscal year. The Nominating Committee
of each Fund did not meet during each Fund's respective fiscal year ended in
1998. The Nominating Committees do not currently consider candidates proposed
by stockholders for election as Directors.
A Fund does not pay any fees to, or reimburse expenses of, its Directors who
are considered "interested persons" of the Fund. The aggregate compensation
paid by each Fund to each of its Directors during its respective fiscal year
ended in 1998, the aggregate compensation paid to each of the Directors during
calendar year 1998 by all of the investment companies in the Alliance Fund
Complex, and the total number of investment companies (and separate investment
portfolios within those companies) in the Alliance Fund Complex with respect to
which each of the Directors serves as a director or trustee are set forth
below. Neither the Funds nor any other investment company in the Alliance Fund
Complex provides compensation in the form of pension or retirement benefits to
any of its directors or trustees.

As of December 31, 1998, each of the Directors of each Fund owned less than
1% of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of such Fund and
the Directors and officers of each Fund as a group owned less than 1% of the
shares of capital stock of each such Fund. During each Fund's most recently
completed fiscal year, none of the Funds' Directors engaged in a purchase or
sale of the securities of the Adviser or any of its parents or subsidiaries.
THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTE
FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FOREGOING NOMINEES TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THEIR
FUND.
PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Boards of Directors of ACM I, ACM II, ACM III, ACM IV, ACM V, ACM VII,
ACM VIII, AWDGF and AWDGF II recommend that the stockholders of each Fund
ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, to audit the
accounts of each such Fund for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999 (AWDGF
II), July 31, 1999 (ACM IV), August 31, 1999 (ACM V), September 30, 1999 (ACM
VIII), October 31, 1999 (ACM VII and AWDGF), and December 31, 1999 (ACM I, II
and III). In addition, the Board of Directors of AMA recommends that the
stockholders of the Fund ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants, to audit the accounts of the Fund for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1999. The selection of both Ernst & Young LLP and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was approved by the vote, cast in person, of a
majority of the Directors of each Fund, including a majority of the Directors
who are not "interested persons" of each Fund, as defined in the Act, at
meetings held on October 14, 1998. With respect to each Fund, the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is required to ratify such
selection. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the accounts of ACM I, II, III, IV,
VII, VIII, AWDGF and AWDGF II since the commencement of each Fund's
operations, and of ACM V since its fiscal year ending August 31, 1990, and
does not have any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial
interest in any of the Funds. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the
accounts of AMA since the Fund's commencement of operations and does not have
any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in
the Fund.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are
expected to attend the Meeting and to have the opportunity to make statements
and respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors of each Fund normally meets twice during
each full fiscal year with representatives of the independent auditors to
discuss the scope of their engagement and review the financial statements of
such Fund and the results of their examination thereof.
THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF ACM I, ACM II, ACM III, ACM IV, ACM V, ACM VII,
ACM VIII, AWDGF AND AWDGF II RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF
THEIR FUND. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AMA RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
THAT FUND VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS
LLP AS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS OF THAT FUND.
