MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN

FUND INC. ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF JON FITCH AND APPOINTMENT OF BRAD FRISHBERG AS NEW CEO

NEW YORK, April 22, 2010 – Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE:MGU) (“MGU” or the “Fund”) announced today that Jon Fitch will retire from serving as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Co-Portfolio Manager, and that its Board of Directors has appointed Brad Frishberg as the new CEO, effective May 31, 2010.

“After a 20-year career in the industry, I have decided to take the opportunity to pursue interests outside of the finance industry,” said Mr. Fitch.  “Brad’s appointment is an outstanding choice and a further demonstration of MGU’s strong commitment to continued leadership in the listed infrastructure asset class.  He has my full and enthusiastic support.  We have been working on a smooth transition over the past few months, which will culminate with Brad taking over at the end of May."

Mr. Frishberg, 43, joined Macquarie Group in 2009 in the firm’s New York office as Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of the Infrastructure Securities division within Macquarie Funds Group – the firm’s global asset management arm.  

Mr. Frishberg has more than 20 years of asset management experience.  Prior to joining Macquarie, he was Managing Director and U.S. Equity Portfolio Manager at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, where over a period of 13 years he was responsible for managing portfolios and businesses in London, Tokyo, and New York. He started his career at Aetna Asset Management as an international analyst and then as a portfolio manager for Japanese equity and fixed income.  He earned his bachelor’s degree in business economics from Brown University and his master’s degree in economics from Trinity College.  He is a CFA charterholder.

"It's an honor to follow Jon as the CEO of MGU," said Mr. Frishberg. "I look forward to leading the MGU team and helping to create value for shareholders of the Fund."

Also as a result of Mr. Fitch’s retirement, Andrew Maple-Brown, currently Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund with Mr. Fitch, will become the sole Portfolio Manager of the Fund effective June 1, 2010.  Mr. Maple-Brown is supported by Macquarie Funds Group’s Infrastructure Securities team, which is one of the largest and most experienced investment teams specializing in the listed infrastructure sector.

Additionally, Sally Worrall has resigned as MGU’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as she has accepted a new position within Macquarie Funds Group and is relocating to Sydney, Australia.  The Board of Directors has appointed Brett Byrd, Associate Director at Macquarie Funds Group in Los Angeles, as the new CCO, effective immediately.
