Objective

The Gabelli Woodland Small Cap Value Fund seeks to provide a high level of capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies:
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies that are considered to be small capitalization companies at the time the Fund makes the investment. The Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of companies which the Fund's portfolio manager believes are undervalued. The Fund's investment adviser, Gabelli Funds, LLC currently characterizes small capitalization companies for this Fund as those with a total market value of $1.5 billion or less at the time of investment. The Adviser looks for undervalued companies with share-holder oriented management teams that are employing strategies to grow the company's value.

You May Want to Invest in the Fund if:

  • you are a long-term investor
  • you seek growth of capital
  • you believe that the market will favor small capitalization stocks over the long term

    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 fund typically invests in 20-30 companies. By concentrating in a small number of investments, the Fund's risks are increased because each investment has a greater effect on the Fund's performance than a Fund which is more broadly diversified. Securities of smaller companies present greater risks than securities of larger, more established companies. 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.
    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.
