Description of Gamco Investors Et Al
GAMCO Investors, Inc. (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”): GBL), a company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, is a widely-recognized provider of investment advisory services to open and closed-end funds, institutional and private wealth management investors principally in the United States. We generally manage assets on a discretionary basis and invest in securities through various investment styles. Our revenues are based primarily on assets under management (“AUM”) and to a lesser extent, incentive fees.
Our AUM are organized into three groups:
Institutional and Private Wealth Management: We provide advisory services to
a broad range of investors, including corporate retirement plans, foundations,
endowments, jointly-trusteed plans and public funds, private wealth clients
and also serve as sub-advisor to third party investment funds including registered
investment companies (“Institutional and Private Wealth Management”).
Open and Closed-End Funds: We provide advisory services to twenty-one open-end funds and fourteen closed-end funds under Gabelli, GAMCO and Comstock brands (collectively, the “Funds”). Additionally, we provide administrative services to seven open-end funds, with AUM of $1.2 billion on December 31, 2015, under the TETON Westwood brand.
SICAV: We provide advisory services to one fund under the GAMCO brand, the GAMCO
International SICAV (the “SICAV”). The SICAV has two sub-fund strategies,
the GAMCO Merger Arbitrage Fund and the GAMCO All Cap Value Fund.
