**ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND** 

**(the "Fund")** 

**Supplement dated January 13, 2023 to the** 

**Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") of the Fund** 

*Effective immediately the following changes are made to the Fund's SAI:* 

*The second paragraph in the section of the Fund's SAI entitled "Management—Trustees and Officers of the Fund" is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:* 

The Board has two standing committees: an Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee oversees (a) the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls and (b) the quality and objectivity of the Fund's financial statements and the independent audit thereof. The members of the Audit Committee are Nathan E. Saint-Amand and Charles F. Baird, Jr. The Audit Committee met five times during the Fund's last fiscal year. The function of the Nominating Committee is, among other things, to select and nominate all candidates for election as Independent Trustees to the Board. The Nominating Committee, which met once during the Fund's last fiscal year, is composed of all the Independent Trustees.

*The section of the Fund's SAI entitled "Management—Board Composition and Leadership Structure" is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:* 

**Board Composition and Leadership Structure** 

The 1940 Act requires that at least 40% of the Fund's trustees be Independent Trustees and as such not be affiliated with the Manager. To rely on certain exemptive rules under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund's trustees must be Independent Trustees, and for certain important matters, such as the approval of investment advisory agreements or transactions with affiliates, the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder require the approval of a majority of the Independent Trustees. Currently, 80% of the Fund's Trustees, including the Chair of the Board, are Independent Trustees. The Chair of the Board chairs Board meetings and executive sessions of the Independent Trustees, reviews and comments on Board meeting agendas, represents the views of the Independent Trustees to management and facilitates communication among the Independent Trustees and their counsel. The Board has determined that its leadership structure, in which the Chair of the Board is not affiliated with the Manager, is appropriate in light of the services that the Manager provides to the Fund and potential conflicts of interest that could arise from this relationship.

Trustees of the Fund, together with information as to their positions with the Fund, and principal occupations, are shown below.
