<DESCRIPTION>INTERNAL CONTROL REPORT
<TEXT>
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Barings
Global Short Duration High Yield Fund:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Barings Global Short Duration High Yield
Fund (the "Fund") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2019, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting, including
controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements
and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.

The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management
are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls. A fund's internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A fund's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the fund;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the fund are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees of the fund;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of a fund's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is
a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the fund's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting was for the limited purpose described
in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose
all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB.
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness, as defined above,
as of December 31, 2019.

This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management and the Board of Trustees of Barings
Global Short Duration High Yield Fund and the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
