Private market value is the value that Gabelli Funds, LLC, (the Adviser), believes informed investors would be willing to pay for a company. The Adviser considers factors such as price, earnings expectations, earnings and price histories, balance sheet characteristics, and perceived management skills. The Adviser also considers changes in economic and political outlooks as well as individual corporate developments. The Fund may invest in companies of any size and from time to time may invest primarily in companies with large, medium, or small market capitalizations. The Adviser will sell any Fund investments that lose their perceived value when compared with other investment alternatives. Holders of equity securities only have rights to value in the issuer after all issuer debts have been paid, and they could lose their entire investment in a company that encounters financial difficulty. The Fund may also buy warrants, which are rights to purchase securities at a specified time at a specified price. The Fund may also use the following techniques as principal investment strategies: ? Corporate Reorganizations. Subject to the diversification requirements of its investment restrictions, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in securities for which a tender or exchange offer has been made or announced and in the securities of companies for which a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or similar reorganization proposal has been announced. The Adviser will only invest in such securities if it is likely that the amount of capital appreciation will be significantly greater than the added expenses of buying and selling securities on a short term basis. The 35% limitation does not apply to the securities of companies that may be involved in simply consummating an approved or agreed upon merger, acquisition, consolidation, liquidation, or reorganization. ? Foreign Securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. Show less
