Description of Strategy

The Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund strategy combines traditional risk arbitrage techniques with a buy-and-hold strategy for companies likely to be targeted in takeovers within the next 12 to 18 months. The Fund focuses on arbitrage opportunities by investing in equity securities of companies involved in publicly announced mergers, takeovers, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, liquidations, and other corporate reorganizations. The strategy aims to capture the “spread” between the market price of the security and its expected value upon deal consummation. These spreads reflect the risks inherent in each transaction, including deal uncertainty and the anticipated timeline for closure. Through a disciplined approach, the Fund navigates the complexities of corporate transactions.

Investment Objective

The primary investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation.
