About EMAAX
Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to capture capital appreciation through event-driven investing, with a particular emphasis on merger arbitrage. The fund primarily targets equity securities of companies involved in publicly announced mergers, takeovers, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, liquidations, and other corporate reorganizations. Its strategy combines traditional risk arbitrage with select buy-and-hold positions in companies deemed likely takeover targets over the next 12 to 18 months. By seeking to benefit from price discrepancies—known as spreads—between a target company's current market price and its acquisition price, the fund navigates the unique risks and timelines inherent in these transactions. Managed since 2001 by Mario Gabelli, a seasoned industry veteran, the fund may also invest in foreign securities and companies of varying capitalizations, expanding its exposure to global corporate activity. As a non-diversified fund, it can concentrate its holdings to capitalize on compelling opportunities arising from strategic business events, playing a specialized role in the broader financial market by focusing on event-driven value creation.
