Giving Back to Society – $74 million since IPO

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, our firm’s combined charitable donations total approximately $74 million, including $48 million through the shareholder designated charitable contribution (“SDCC”) program. Based on the program created by Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, our corporate charitable giving is unique in that the recipients of GAMI’s charitable contributions are chosen directly by our shareholders, rather than by our corporate officers. Since its inception in 2013, GAMI shareholders have designated charitable gifts to approximately 350 charitable organizations.

Revenue

		December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022			$ Change				% Change

Fund revenues		$	37,748		$	37,369		$	379			1.0	%

Total revenue		$	57,313		$	61,602		$	(4,289	)		-7.0	%

Incentive fees earned during the fourth quarter of 2023 was $1.9 million versus $3.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. The remainder of the year over year decline reflects a modest drop in average equity AUM at December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022.

Expenses

(In thousands)		Three Months Ended
		December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022			$ Change				% Change

Total expenses		$	41,517		$	44,595		$	(3,078	)		-6.9	%

• The lower compensation expense in the fourth quarter reflected lower variable compensation ($0.8 million), lower fixed compensation ($0.2 million), and lower stock-based compensation ($0.1 million).
• Higher pre-management fee income of $1.6 million resulted in a $0.2 million increase in management fee.
• Distribution costs were higher based on slightly higher expense reimbursements in open-end funds; and,
• The lower other operating expenses this quarter versus the fourth quarter of 2022 are due to the absence of subadvisory performance fees for the merger arbitrage SICAV in 2023.

Operating Margin

The operating margin, which represents the ratio of operating income to revenue, was 27.6% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 29.5% for the third quarter of 2023.

The Gabelli Growth Fund – Up 45.4% For 2023

Howard Ward, CFA, the CIO of Growth Investing, commented on The Gabelli Growth Fund’s 2023 performance: “The stars aligned for growth stocks in 2023. Valuations were depressed after a tough 2022 courtesy of rapidly rising interest rates. Earnings got a boost as many companies that had over invested during the pandemic cut costs, both labor and capital spending. Technology spending, which has been in a secular upturn, accelerated on the excitement generated by artificial intelligence breakthroughs and demand for leading edge cybersecurity solutions. Additionally, e-commerce continued to gain share over bricks and mortar and electric vehicles gained share on gasoline-powered vehicles. As inflation cooled and prospects for lower interest rates improved, growth stocks, especially technology driven growth stocks, led the stock market higher. We owned and continue to own positions in the so-called Magnificent 7-stocks (Mag 7), consisting of Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Tesla. Over half of the fund’s assets are invested in technology centric companies. The fund’s annual return of 45.4% was helped by the Mag 7 and other technology holdings such as ServiceNow and CrowdStrike. Other outsized gainers included Eli Lilly (boosted by the success of Mounjaro and Zepbound for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, respectively) and Chipotle Mexican Grill.”

The Gabelli Small Cap Growth Fund

We utilize our own in-house team of over 40 industry equity analysts and portfolio managers to pick the stocks in the fund, using our bottom-up research-intensive process and, more importantly, our accumulated and compounded knowledge of selected industry sectors. We use GAPIC – gather, array, project, interpret, and communicate data daily. We have consistently applied our Private Market Value with a Catalyst approach to help generate our superior returns.

ETFs

The firm launched its first active ETF, the Gabelli Love Our Planet & People ETF (NYSE: LOPP) in January 2021 to extend the tax benefits of owning exchange traded funds to our investors. Since the initial launch, the Gabelli platform has steadily grown the differentiated suite of ETFs. In 2023, Gabelli Growth Innovators (NYSE: GGRW), managed by Howard Ward, generated a 42.2% total return, while the Gabelli Financial Services Opportunities ETF (NYSE: GABF), led by Macrae Sykes, produced a 38.9% total return. We are pleased with the client adoption progress and excited about this growth area of the market and positioning of these unique funds supported by our investment team. To accelerate the growth of these funds, each of the funds (with the exception of GGRW) have fee and expense waivers for at least the first $25 million of assets, where LOPP has a fee and expense waiver for the first $100 million of assets under management.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this press release, which do not present historical information, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, the economy, and other conditions, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Therefore, you should proceed with caution in relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may cause our actual results to differ from our expectations include risks associated with the duration and scope of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic resulting in volatile market conditions, a decline in the securities markets that adversely affect our assets under management, negative performance of our products, the failure to perform as required under our investment management agreements, and a general downturn in the economy that negatively impacts our operations. We also direct your attention to the more specific discussions of these and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors contained in our Annual Report and other public filings. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Gabelli Funds, LLC is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (OTCQX: GAMI).

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. The prospectus, which contains more complete information about this and other matters, should be read carefully before investing.

The Gabelli active ETFs are different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. These ETFs will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

• You may have to pay more money to trade the ETFs shares. These ETFs will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.
• The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of the ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for these ETFs compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.
• These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions. The differences between these ETFs and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about these ETFs secret, these ETFs may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve these ETFs’ performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict these ETFs’ investment strategies, however, this may hurt these ETFs’ performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of these ETFs, see the ActiveShares prospectus/registration statement.
• Financial services companies operate in heavily regulated industries, which are subject to change. The underlying securities are subject to credit and interest rate sensitivity risk, which could affect earnings. Additionally, since financial services firms are correlated to GDP, a decline in the economic environment could impact profitability.

GABF

Financial services companies operate in heavily regulated industries, which are subject to change. The underlying securities are subject to credit and interest rate sensitivity risk, which could impact earnings. Additionally, since financial services firms are correlated to GDP, a decline in the economic environment could impact profitability.

GGRW

Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market.

Money Market Fund

Investment in the fund is neither guaranteed nor insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Small Cap

Small capitalization stocks are subject to significant price fluctuations and business risks. The stocks of smaller companies may trade less frequently and experience more abrupt price movements than stocks of larger companies; therefore, investing in this sector involves special challenges.

Growth

As of December 31, 2023, GAMI and affiliates owned less than one percent of all stocks mentioned in the Growth Fund.

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented.
