About GATAX
The Gabelli Asset Fund Class A is a diversified, open-end mutual fund designed with a primary objective of achieving capital growth, while providing current income as a secondary goal. Managed by an experienced team led by Mario Gabelli, the fund primarily invests in common and preferred stocks. The fund’s distinguishing feature is its Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ strategy, which seeks to identify companies trading below their estimated private market value—the price a strategic buyer might pay for the entire firm. A core emphasis is placed on identifying catalysts such as buyouts or management changes that could potentially surface underlying value. The fund maintains an all-cap, diversified approach, investing across various industries and market capitalizations to broaden exposure and manage risk. By focusing on undervalued opportunities and potential corporate catalysts, the Gabelli Asset Fund Class A plays a distinctive role in the market for investors seeking a disciplined value-oriented equity strategy with broad sector diversification.
