("ACM I"), 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, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10105, on March 20, 2002 at 11:00 a.m. The solicitation will be 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 February 18, 2002. The Board of Directors of the Funds have fixed the close of business on December 28, 2001 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof. The outstanding voting shares of the Funds as of December 28, 2001 consisted of 224,216,861 shares of common stock of ACM I, 12,555,056 shares of common stock of ACM IV, 24,195,856 shares of common stock and 950 shares of Remarketed Preferred Stock, Series A of ACM V, 10,929,793 shares of common stock and 1,200 shares of each of Municipal Income Preferred Shares, Series A, Series B and Series C of ACM VII, 22,201,898 shares of common stock of ACM VIII, 8,777,373 shares of common stock of AWDGF, 77,850,368 shares of common stock of AWDGF II and 3,621,980 shares of common stock of AMA, each share being entitled to one vote. At the Meeting, the holders of the preferred stock of ACM V and the holders of each series of preferred stock of ACM VII will have equal voting rights with the holders of the common stock of ACM V and ACM VII (i.e., one vote per share), respectively, and, except as discussed below, will vote together with the holders of ACM V and ACM VII common stock, respectively, as a single class on all proposals to be brought before the Meeting applicable to their respective Funds. The holders of the preferred stock of these Funds, voting separately as a class, have the right to elect two Directors of their Fund. The holders of the common stock of these Funds do not have the right to vote with respect to the election of those two Directors. In the case of both ACM V and ACM VII, these Directors are Ms. Ruth Block and Dr. James M. Hester. Dr. Hester is standing for re-election at the Meeting, as his current term expires as of then. Ms. Block is not standing for re-election at the Meeting, as her term does not expire until 2003. All properly executed and timely received proxies 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, (i) proxies from the holders of the common stock of ACM V and ACM VII will be voted for two Directors and (ii) all other proxies, including those from the holders of the preferred stock of ACM V and ACM VII will be voted for the election of three Directors. 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 voting in person at the Meeting. Properly executed proxies may be returned with instructions to abstain from voting or to withhold authority to vote (an "abstention") or represent a broker "non-vote" (which is a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that the broker or nominee 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 such a proxy will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business but, not being cast, will have no effect on the outcome of matters to be determined by a plurality or majority of the votes cast on such 2 matters (e.g. Proposal One). With respect to Proposal Two, the adoption of which requires the affirmative vote of a specified proportion of the outstanding shares of a Fund, an abstention or broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote against the matter. If any proposal, other than Proposals One and Two, properly comes before the Meeting, 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 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 the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of common stock, and preferred stock, if any, of the particular Fund, except that a quorum for the election of Dr. Hester as a Director of ACM V and ACM VII will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the respective Funds. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting for a Fund or, even if a quorum is so present, in the event that sufficient votes in favor of the positions recommended by the Board of Directors on any proposal described in the Proxy Statement with respect to a Fund are not timely 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 be adjourned with respect to fewer than all of the proposals in the 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 thereof. Shares represented by proxies indicating a vote contrary to the position recommended by the Board of Directors on a proposal, including, as to Proposal Two, abstentions and broker non-votes will be voted against adjournment as to that proposal. Each Fund has engaged Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc., 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, to assist in soliciting proxies for the Meeting. Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. will receive a total fee of $37,000 for its services, to be paid by the Funds as follows: ACM I-- $7,500, ACM IV--$3,500, ACM V--$4,000, ACM VII--3,500 $, ACM VIII--$4,000, 3 AWDGF--$3,500, AWDGF II--$7,500, and AMA--$3,500, 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, in each case, until his successor is elected and qualifies. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders of a Fund is required to elect a Director, except that the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the preferred stock of ACM V and ACM VII is required to elect Dr. Hester as a Director of those Funds. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to nominate and vote in favor of the election of three individuals 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 terms of the members in Class Two will expire as of the Meeting, the terms of the members in Class Three will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2003 and the terms of the members in Class One will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2004. Upon expiration of the terms of the members of a class as set forth above, the terms of their successors in that class will continue until the respective stated expirations of their terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Under this classified Board structure, only those Directors in a single class may be replaced in any one year. It would require two years to change a majority of the Board of Directors of a Fund, although Maryland law provides that stockholders may remove Directors under certain circumstances even if they are not then standing for re-election and, under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), appropriate stockholder proposals may be included in the Funds' annual proxy statements. This classified Board structure, which may be regarded as an "anti-takeover" provision, may make it more difficult for a Fund's stockholders to change the majority of Directors of the Fund and, thus, have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management. At the Meeting, three Directors in Class Two of each of the Funds are standing for re-election. Mr. William H. Foulk, Jr. and Dr. James M. Hester are standing for re-election for each of the Funds, Mr. David H. Dievler is standing for re-election for ACM I, ACM IV, ACM V and ACM VII and Mr. John H. Dobkin is standing for re-election for ACM VIII, AWDGF, AWDGF II and AMA. 4 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 the Funds' Directors is set forth below. With respect to each Fund, only the Class Two Directors are standing for re-election.

During its fiscal year ended in 2001, the Board of Directors of ACM I met 8 times; of ACM IV, 7 times; of ACM V, 7 times; of ACM VII, 7 times; of ACM VIII, 7 times; of AWDGF, 6 times; of AWDGF II, 8 times; and of AMA 7 times. Each Fund's Board of Directors has two standing committees of the Board an Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committees of the Funds did not meet during the Funds' respective most recently completed fiscal years. The Nominating Committees were constituted for the purpose nominating persons to fill any vacancies on the Boards of Directors and do not currently consider for nomination candidates proposed by stockholders. In accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Boards of Directors have determined that the members of the Audit Committees are independent as defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. None of the Funds pays any fees to, or reimburses expenses of, any Director during a time when the Director is considered an "interested person" of the Fund, as defined in the Act. The aggregate compensation paid by the Funds to the Directors during 10 the Funds' respective fiscal years ended in 2001, the aggregate compensation paid to the Directors during calendar year 2001 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 the Directors serve as a director or trustee, are set forth below.

Audit Committee Report Each Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Fund's Audit Committee. The purposes of the Audit Committees are set forth in the Audit Committee Charters. In brief, the role of each Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the Fund's financial reporting process. As set forth in the Charter, management of each Fund is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent accountants are responsible for auditing the Fund's financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of each Fund will normally meet three times during each full fiscal year with representatives of the independent accountants to discuss and review various matters as contemplated by the Audit Committee Charter. In the performance of its oversight function, each Audit Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent accountants of its Fund. Each Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. Each Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision by its Fund's independent accountants of non-audit services to the Fund, and of professional services to the Adviser and affiliates of the Adviser that provide services to the Fund, is compatible with maintaining the independent accountants' independence. Finally, each Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and has discussed with the independent accountants the independent accountants' independence. The members of the Funds' Audit Committees are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members of the Audit Committees rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent accountants. Accordingly, the Audit Committees' oversight does not provide an independent basis 18 to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committees' considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audits of the Funds' financial statements have been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the Funds' accountants are in fact "independent". Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committees referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charters, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of the Fund that the audited financial statements of the Fund be included in the Fund's annual report to stockholders for the most recent fiscal period. Submitted by the Audit Committees of the Boards of Directors Ruth Block Dr. James M. Hester David H. Dievler Clifford L. Michel John H. Dobkin Donald J. Robinson William H. Foulk, Jr. Independent Accountants The Boards of Directors of the Funds at meetings held on July 18, 2001 (ACM IV, ACM V and ACM VIII), October 30, 2001 (ACM I, ACM VII and AWDGF) and January 23, 2002 (AWDGF II) 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, Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants to audit the accounts of AWDGF II (for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002), ACM IV (July 31, 2002), ACM V (August 31, 2002), ACM VIII (September 30, 2002), ACM VII and AWDGF (October 31, 2002) and ACM I (December 31, 2002). The Board of Directors of AMA similarly approved by vote PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, to audit the accounts of AMA for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. In reliance on Rule 32a-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds are not seeking stockholder ratification of the selection of their independent auditors. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the accounts of ACM I, ACM IV, ACM VII, ACM VIII, AWDGF and AWDGF II since the respective dates of their commencements of operations, and of ACM V since its fiscal year ended August 31, 1990, and has represented that it does not have any direct financial interest or any material 19 indirect financial interest in any of the Funds. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the accounts of AMA since the Fund's commencement of operations and has represented that it 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 a statement and respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders. Independent Accountants' Fees The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by the independent accountants for each Fund's most recent fiscal year for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and the review of financial statements included in the Fund's reports to stockholders; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and entities that control, are controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide services to the Fund; and (iii) all other services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and entities that control, are controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide services to the Fund. 20 Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Audit Fees Fees* Other Fees* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Income Fund, Inc. $48,000 $-0- $698,943 ACM Government Opportunity Fund, Inc. $40,000 $-0- $604,942 ACM Managed Income Fund, Inc. $43,000 $-0- $498,061 ACM Municipal Securities Income Fund, Inc. $40,000 $-0- $590,350 ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. $48,000 $-0- $515,113 Alliance World Dollar Government Fund, Inc. $48,000 $-0- $55,7815 Alliance World Dollar Government Fund II, Inc. $55,000 $-0- $486,789 Alliance All-Market Advantage Fund, Inc. $35,000 $-0- $125,294 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Substantially all of the fees reflected consist of amounts billed to the Adviser and its affiliates. The fees vary significantly because they are presented based on the Funds' respective most recently completed fiscal years. The fees listed are not cumulative. In other words, the same fee may be reflected in more than one Fund's listing. The Boards of Directors recommend that the stockholders of each Fund vote "FOR" the re-election of the Directors in Class Two to continue to serve as Directors of each Fund. PROPOSAL TWO AMENDMENT TO THE CHARTER OF EACH FUND TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM TIME TO TIME TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF STOCK OF THE FUND At meetings held on October 29, 2001, each Fund's Board of Directors considered and approved a proposed amendment to its Fund's Charter authorizing the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to amend the Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series of the Fund, and recommended the Charter amendment to stockholders for their approval. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders of a Fund is required to approve the Charter Amendment. If the amendment is approved by a 21 Fund's stockholders, a new section will be added at the end of Article FIFTH of that Fund's Charter, to read as follows: "The Board of Directors, without any action by the stockholders of the Corporation, may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Corporation has authority to issue." In approving the Charter proposed amendment, the Board of Directors of each Fund considered the Adviser's expressed concern that in certain circumstances a change in the number of the Fund's authorized shares may be desirable (e.g., in order to permit a proposed stock split or an offering of stock) but that the current requirement for stockholder approval of the change could involve delays that are not consistent with the best interests of stockholders. In addition, satisfying the requirement for stockholder approval could involve the significant expense of a special meeting of stockholders, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing proxy materials to stockholders. The authorized capital stock of each Fund and the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding are set forth below. Shares of Common Shares of Preferred Shares of Stock Issued and Stock Issued and Authorized Outstanding as of Outstanding as Capital Stock December 28, 2001of December 28, 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Income Fund, Inc. 300,000,000 224,216,861 -- ACM Government Opportunity Fund, Inc. 300,000,000 12,555,056 -- ACM Managed Income Fund, Inc. 300,000,000 24,195,856 950 ACM Municipal Securities Income Fund, Inc. 100,000,000 10,929,793 3,600 ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. 300,000,000 22,201,898 -- Alliance World Dollar Government Fund, Inc. 100,000,000 8,777,373 -- Alliance World Dollar Government Fund II, Inc. 300,000,000 77,850,368 -- Alliance All-Market Advantage Fund, Inc. 300,000,000 3,621,980 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 If the stockholders of a Fund approve the Charter amendment, the Board of Directors may cause the issuance of the additional shares of stock of any class or series of the Fund without further action by the stockholders, unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange upon which the Fund's stock is then listed. Each Fund's Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders of that Fund vote "FOR" the approval of the amendment to the Fund's Charter to authorize the Board of Directors to amend the Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Fund.
