The Gabelli Media Mogul Fund invests in the universe of securities related to Dr. John C. Malone . Since 2001, Malone’s Liberty Media has engaged in a series of spin offs, splits offs, mergers and tracking stock issuances, providing an investable universe of nearly $500 billion. The Fund focuses on the securities of companies which appear underpriced relative to their Private Market Value (PMV), with a specific Catalyst™ to unlock that value.
The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation.
Dedicated Leadership: Actively managed by our Co-CIO of Value who has over 29 years of industry experience, with a particular focus on the media sector.

The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Due to market volatility, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return and average annual returns are historical and reflect changes in share price, reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and are net of expenses. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so, upon redemption, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Following the close of business on March 31, 2019, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to liabilities, of the Gabelli Media Mogul NextShares ( the “Predecessor Fund”) through a tax-free reorganization. The Fund is newly created from the reorganization of the Gabelli Media Mogul Nextshares, which has the same investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies and policies as the Predecessor Fund.
The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged in seven or less after the date of purchase.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in companies in the telecommunications, media, publishing, and entertainment industries and, as a result, the value of the Fund’s shares is more susceptible to factors affecting those particular types of companies and those industries, including governmental regulation, a greater price volatility than the overall market, rapid obsolescence of products and services, intense competition, and strong market reactions to technological developments. As a consequence of its concentration policy, the Fund’s investments may be subject to greater risk and market fluctuation than a fund that has securities representing a broader range of alternatives.
