The GAMCO Global Opportunity Fund - Objective
 

The GAMCO Global Opportunity Fund primarily seeks to provide investors with appreciation of capital. Current income is a secondary objective of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies:
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks of companies which the Adviser believes are likely to have rapid growth in revenues and earnings and potential for above average capital appreciation or are undervalued.

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic small capitalization, mid-capitalization and large capitalization issuers. The Fund may invest without limitation in securities of foreign issuers and will invest in securities of issuers located in at least three countries.

The Fund may appeal to you if:

  • you are a long-term investor
  • you seek growth of capital
  • you seek to diversify your investments outside the United States

    You may not want to invest in the Fund if:

  • you are seeking a high level of current income
  • you are conservative in your investment approach
  • you seek stability of principal more than growth of capital
    •  

    The GAMCO Global Series Funds invests in foreign securities which involves risks not ordinarily associated with investments in domestic issues, including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks.

    The Fund's share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

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