Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. Declares Regular Quarterly Distribution

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU)
(the "Fund") declared today its regular quarterly distribution for the
period ending September 30, 2008 of $0.40 per share.

   Based on the Fund's net asset value of $25.43 and New York Stock
Exchange closing share price of $21.90 on July 21, 2008, the $0.40 per
share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of
6.29% at NAV and 7.31% at market price, respectively.

   The $0.40 per share quarterly distribution reflects a distribution
policy of the Fund intended to provide shareholders with a relatively
stable cash flow. This policy may be changed or discontinued without
notice to investors.

   Mr. Justin Lannen, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said:
"Notwithstanding the stress in credit markets and weak equity markets,
the operational performance of the infrastructure stocks in the Fund
has generally met our expectations, demonstrating the predictability
and reliability of the cash flows of infrastructure assets that make
the sector an attractive investment proposition. We believe that the
Fund is defensively positioned to weather the slower growth and higher
inflation environment that global markets are currently navigating."

   A portion of the distributions may be treated as paid from sources
other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital
gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital. The final
determination of the source of all distributions in 2008, including
the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund
after December 31, 2008.

   This distribution will be payable on September 30, 2008 to
shareholders of record on September 12, 2008, with an ex-dividend date
of September 10, 2008.
