1 The percentages
used in this Schedule 13D/A are calculated based upon 51,574,059 Common Shares
outstanding as of October 31, 2016 as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report to

| CUSIP No. 18914E106 | SCHEDULE 13D/A | Page 4 of 6 Pages |
| Item 1. | SECURITY AND ISSUER |
| This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on 1/6/17, Amendment No. 1 filed on 1/27/17, Amendment No 2 filed on 2/13/17, and Amendment No 3 filed on 3/13/17. Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, and the Original Schedule 13D, with respect to the shares of common stock, (the Shares), of Clough Global Opportunities Fund (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, and Amendment No. 3. This Amendment No. 4 amends Items 3 and 5 as set forth below. | |
| Item 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
| Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors in SCMF, SCMF II, SCLMF, SCS, SCEF 1 and SCEF 2 and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of $55,669,680 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein. | |
| Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |

The percentages used in this Schedule 13D/A are calculated based upon 51,574,059 Common Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2016 as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form N-CSR filed on January 9, 2017. |
| (b) | See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the number of Common Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition. |
| (c) | The transactions in the Shares effected since the filing of the Amendment No 3 by Saba Capital, which were all in the open market, are set forth in Schedule A, and are incorporated herein by reference. |
| (d) | No person other than the Reporting Persons and the Saba Entities is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such Common Shares. |
