XXXXXXXXX
The Gabelli Opportunities in Live & Sports ETF (GOLS) is an actively managed, fully transparent ETF seeking long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies that power the global sports and live entertainment economy.

GOLS invests across the full spectrum of the sports ecosystem, from publicly traded team ownership structures and global football clubs to entertainment operators, sports media distributors, athletic brands, and technology / data providers enabling fan engagement. Guided by Gabelli’s Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ investment philosophy and supported by decades of industry research and insights, the portfolio focuses on companies with durable assets, resilient revenue streams, and identifiable catalysts that may help unlock long-term value.

Important Disclosures
Access to an Otherwise Hard to Reach Asset Class:
Professional sports franchises are among the world’s most valuable and consistently appreciating assets, yet most remain privately held and inaccessible to investors. GOLS provides access to the global sports economy through companies whose value is driven by teams, leagues, media rights, ticketing, and live entertainment – offering a differentiated thematic allocation to complement traditional equity exposures.
Broad Exposure Across the Sports Ecosystem:
Rather than focusing on a narrow segment like betting or apparel, GOLS invests across the full sports value chain: team ownership structures, sports-centric media and streaming platforms, event and venue operators, ticketing businesses, and adjacent companies with meaningful sports exposure. This diversification allows the portfolio to capture multiple revenue streams and to flex with shifting industry dynamics.
Active Management Informed by Deep Industry Insight:
The Fund is managed by Chris Marangi and Alec Boccanfuso, whose combined coverage of media, entertainment, and sports businesses spans decades. Guided by the firm’s Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ investment philosophy, the strategy focuses on businesses with durable assets, resilient cash flows, and identifiable catalysts such as media rights renewals, league expansions, corporate restructurings, or M&A activity.
