Objective

The GAMCO Global Growth 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 involved in the global marketplace. 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.To achieve the Fund's primary objective of capital appreciation, the Adviser's portfolio management team for the Fund employs a disciplined investment program focusing on the globalization and interactivity of the world's market place. The Fund invests in companies at the forefront of accelerated growth.

The Adviser strives to find reasonably valued businesses exhibiting creativity to adapt to the changing environment. Additionally, the Adviser looks for solid franchises, ideally with unique copyrights that can add to overall value creation. Lastly, the Adviser likes growth and therefore looks to businesses involved in the ever-evolving communication revolution. Looking forward, the Adviser continues to believe that the dominant companies of tomorrow will be conducting a major portion of their business via the Internet within the next five years.

In selecting investments, the Adviser seeks companies participating in emerging technological advances in interactive services and products (e.g., computer software) that are accessible to individuals in their homes or offices through consumer electronics content based devices such as telephones, televisions, radios and personal computers. The Fund will invest in companies which the portfolio management team believes are likely to have rapid growth in revenues and earnings and potential for above average capital appreciation or are undervalued. In addition, the Adviser also considers the market price of the issuer's securities, its balance sheet characteristics and the perceived strength of its management.
