<DESCRIPTION>ADDITIONAL NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICY
<TEXT>
Exhibit 77D
Policies with respect to security investment

The Fund currently has a fundamental investment policy providing
that under normal market conditions it will invest at least 65%
of its total assets in convertible securities (that is, bonds,
debentures, corporate notes or preferred stock that are
convertible into common stock) and common stock received upon
conversion or exchange of securities and retained in the Fund's
portfolio to permit orderly disposition or to establish long-
term holding periods for federal income tax purposes.  This
fundamental policy may not be changed without shareholder
approval.

At Registrant's Board of Directors Meeting held on
November 18, 2002 the Board considered adjusting the Funds'
investment policies by adding certain non-fundamental policies.
After discussion, and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously

      RESOLVED, that the Board of Ellsworth hereby
      adopts, as a non-fundamental additional investment
      policy, that the Fund will invest, under normal
      circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its
      assets (consisting of net assets plus the amount
      of any borrowings for investment purposes) in
      convertible securities.

<DESCRIPTION>EVALUATION
<TEXT>
Exhibit 77Q3:A

As of May 21, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the
supervision and with the participation of the officers of
Ellsworth Convertible Growth and Income Fund, Inc. (the
"Company"), including the principal executive officer ("PEO") and
principal financial officer ("PFO"), of the effectiveness of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that
evaluation, the Company's officers, including the PEO and PFO,
concluded that, as of May 21, 2003, the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were reasonably designed so as to ensure
that material information relating to the Company is made known
to the PEO and PFO.  There have been no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
their evaluation and until the filing of this report, including
any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
