Current income is a secondary objective of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund. Fees and Expenses of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund: The Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s respective Class AAA, Class A, and Class C shares are “closed to purchases from new investors.” “Closed to purchases from new investors” means: (i) with respect to Class AAA and Class A shares, no new investors may purchase shares of such classes, but existing shareholders may continue to purchase additional shares of such classes, and (ii) with respect to Class C shares, neither new investors nor existing shareholders may purchase any additional shares of such class. This closure has no effect on existing shareholders’ ability to redeem shares of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund as described herein. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. <span class="xdx_phnt_RGlzY2xvc3VyZSAtIFJpc2svUmV0dXJuIERldGFpbCBEYXRhIHtFbGVtZW50c30A" id="xdx_90A_err--ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts_c20230428__20230428__dei--LegalEntityAxis__custom--S000001067Member_z8Urn7h9WiS3">You may qualify for sales charge discounts on Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $<span class="xdx_phnt_RGlzY2xvc3VyZSAtIFJpc2svUmV0dXJuIERldGFpbCBEYXRhIHtFbGVtZW50c30A" id="xdx_909_err--ExpenseBreakpointMinimumInvestmentRequiredAmount_c20230428__20230428__dei--LegalEntityAxis__custom--S000001067Member_z55B7wVDMral">50,000 in Class A shares of the Gabelli family of mutual funds when and if initial investments into Class A shares are reopened.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Global Content & Connectivity Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example assumes a waiver of expenses through the date of the expiration of the waiver, and reflects Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses following the date of the expiration of the waiver. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s performance.

The Global Content & Connectivity Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic small capitalization, mid capitalization, and large capitalization issuers. As a “global” fund, the Global Content & Connectivity Fund invests in securities of issuers, or related investments thereof, located in at least three countries, and at least 40% of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s total net assets is invested in securities of non-U.S. issuers or related investments thereof. In selecting investments, the Adviser also considers the market price of the issuer’s securities, its balance sheet characteristics and the perceived strength of its management. In accordance with its existing concentration policy, the Global Content & Connectivity Fund will continue to invest at least 25% of the value of its total assets in the telecommunications-related industry, and not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in any other particular industry. The companies in which the Global Content & Connectivity Fund may invest are engaged in the following products, services, or activities: telecommunications services (including data, video, voice, advanced IP-based services, corporate networking solutions, messaging and other communication and connectivity applications based on established and emerging technologies); telecommunications infrastructure and equipment; media & entertainment (including television; radio; cable networks; filmed, live, and digital entertainment; advertising; publishing; emerging forms of digital and interactive content; eSports; and eGaming); consumer electronics; e-commerce & information technology (including Internet software and services; application, systems, and home entertainment software; IT consulting, data processing, and technology hardware and equipment). Additional crossindustry investment focus areas include: cloud computing, The Internet of Things (“IoT”) (including solutions related to connected vehicle, connected home, smart city, smart grid), Big Data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, cybersecurity, virtual reality, augmented reality, digital convergence, biometric and wearable devices, eHealth, eGovernment, financial technology, over-the-top (“OTT”) content and applications, and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). Principal Risks An investment in the Global Content & Connectivity Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell Global Content & Connectivity Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the Global Content & Connectivity Fund. •Concentration Risk. Because the Global Content & Connectivity Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in the telecommunications related industry, and will otherwise focus its investments in the media and information technology industries, the Global Content & Connectivity Fund may be subject to greater volatility with respect to its portfolio securities than a fund that is more broadly diversified. Accordingly, the Global Content & Connectivity Fund is subject to the risk that its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities. •Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the prices of the securities held by the Global Content & Connectivity Fund will change due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the companies issuing the securities participate and the issuer company’s particular circumstances. •Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades, and the Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate in response. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions therefore may decline. Inflation may result in losses to Fund shareholders. •Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. •Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may experience sharp price swings, as there may be less government supervision and regulation of business in such markets, and may entail risks relating to political and economic instability and expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, lack of hedging instruments, and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Securities markets in emerging markets may be less liquid and developed than those in the United States, potentially making prices erratic. Economic or political crises may detrimentally affect investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience substantial rates of inflation or deflation. The economies of developing countries tend to be dependent upon international trade. There may be little financial information available about emerging market issuers, and it may be difficult to obtain or enforce a judgment against them. Other risks include a high concentration of investors, financial intermediaries, and market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers and industries; vulnerability to changes in commodity prices due to overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources, overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. For all of these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. •Interest Rate Risk. The Fund is subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of rising interest rates. There is a possibility that interest rates may continue to rise further in the future, particularly in response to actions of the Federal Reserve to combat the currently high rates of inflation. There is a risk that increased interest rates may cause the economy to enter a recession. Any such recession would negatively impact the Fund and the investments held by the Fund. •Currency Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign currency denominated investments and may widen any losses. The Global Content & Connectivity Fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies. In addition, the GlobalContent & Connectivity Fund’s investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. •Depositary Receipts. The Global Content & Connectivity Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. While ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, many of the risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also apply to ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer. •Industry Risk. Telecommunications — The telecommunications industry is subject to governmental regulation and a greater price volatility than the overall market, and telecommunications companies can be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in government regulation, intense competition, dependency on patent protection, significant capital expenditures, heavy debt burdens, rapid obsolescence of products and services due to product compatibility or changing consumer preferences and strong market reactions to technological developments throughout the industry, among other things. In addition, companies in which the Global Content & Connectivity Fund invests may be adversely affected by lack of commercial acceptance of a new product or process or by technological change and obsolescence. Media — Companies engaged in the design, production or distribution of goods or services for the media industry may become obsolete quickly. Media companies are subject to risks that include cyclicality of revenues and earnings, a decrease in the discretionary income of targeted individuals, changing consumer tastes and interests, fierce competition in the industry and the potential for increased government regulation. Additionally, intellectual property rights are very important to many media companies and the expiration of intellectual property rights or other events that adversely affect a media company’s intellectual property rights may materially and adversely affect the value of its securities. Information Technology — The market prices of technology and technology-related stocks tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and price volatility than other types of investments. These stocks also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, government regulation, lack of standardization or compatibility with existing technologies, intense competition, aggressive pricing, dependence on copyright and/or patent protection and/or obsolete products or services. As a result, these factors may negatively affect the performance of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund. These risks may be heightened for telecommunications, media, and technology companies in foreign markets. •Growth Stock Risk. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. •Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to an issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets or factors unrelated to the issuer’s value, such as investor perception. •Management Risk. If the portfolio managers are incorrect in their assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the Global Content & Connectivity Fund holds, then the value of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s shares may decline. •Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the Global Content & Connectivity Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory event than a diversified fund. •Smaller Capitalization Risk. Risk is greater for the securities of smaller capitalization companies (including small unseasoned companies that have been in operation for less than three years) because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. •Market Risk. General economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, energy and other resource shortages, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances (including governmental responses to public health crises or the spread of infectious diseases), may have long-term negative effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy, and thus the Fund.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Global Growth Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Global Growth Fund’s performance.

The Global Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic small capitalization, mid capitalization, and large capitalization issuers. As a “global” fund, the Global Growth Fund invests in securities of issuers, or related investments thereof, located in at least three countries, and at least 40% of the Global Growth Fund’s total net assets is invested in securities of non-U.S. issuers or related investments thereof. To achieve the Global Growth Fund’s primary objective of capital appreciation, the Adviser employs a disciplined investment program focusing on the globalization and interactivity of the world’s market place. The Global Growth Fund invests in companies at the forefront of accelerated growth. The Global Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic mid capitalization and large capitalization issuers. In addition to growth rates, stock valuation levels are important in the stock selection process as the Global Growth Fund seeks stocks that are attractively priced relative to their projected growth rates. The Global Growth Fund seeks to build a portfolio diversified by geographic region, industry sectors and individual issues within industry sectors. The Global Growth Fund invests primarily in developed markets but may invest in emerging markets as well. The Global Growth Fund invests in companies with a wide range in market capitalizations, from small to large. Principal Risks An investment in the Global Growth Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell Global Growth Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the Global Growth Fund. •Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the prices of the securities held by the Global Growth Fund will change due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the companies issuing the securities participate and the issuer company’s particular circumstances. •Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades, and the Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate in response. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions therefore may decline. Inflation may result in losses to Fund shareholders. •Growth Stock Risk. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. •Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. These risks are more pronounced in the securities of companies located in emerging markets. •Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may experience sharp price swings, as there may be less government supervision and regulation of business in such markets, and may entail risks relating to political and economic instability and expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, lack of hedging instruments, and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Securities markets in emerging markets may be less liquid and developed than those in the United States, potentially making prices erratic. Economic or political crises may detrimentally affect investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience substantial rates of inflation or deflation. The economies of developing countries tend to be dependent upon international trade. There may be little financial information available about emerging market issuers, and it may be difficult to obtain or enforce a judgment against them. Other risks include a high concentration of investors, financial intermediaries, and market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers and industries; vulnerability to changes in commodity prices due to overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources, overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. For all of these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. •Interest Rate Risk. The Fund is subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of rising interest rates. There is a possibility that interest rates may continue to rise further in the future, particularly in response to actions of the Federal Reserve to combat the currently high rates of inflation. There is a risk that increased interest rates may cause the economy to enter a recession. Any such recession would negatively impact the Fund and the investments held by the Fund. •Currency Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign currency denominated investments and may widen any losses. The Global Growth Fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies. In addition, the Global Growth Fund’s investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. •Depositary Receipts. Global Growth Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. While ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, many of the risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also apply to ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer. •Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to an issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets or factors unrelated to the issuer’s value, such as investor perception. •Management Risk. If the portfolio managers are incorrect in their assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the Global Growth Fund holds, then the value of the Global Growth Fund’s shares may decline. •Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of the Global Growth Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the Global Growth Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence than shares of a diversified mutual fund. •Smaller Capitalization Risk. Risk is greater for the securities of smaller capitalization companies (including small unseasoned companies that have been in operation for less than three years) because such companies generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources.

THE GABELLI INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND (THE “INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND”) Investment Objectives The International Small Cap Fund primarily seeks to provide investors with appreciation of capital. Current income is a secondary objective of the International Small Cap Fund. Fees and Expenses of the International Small Cap Fund: The International Small Cap Fund’s respective Class AAA, Class A and Class C shares are “closed to purchases from new investors.” “Closed to purchases from new investors” means: (i) with respect to Class AAA and Class A shares, no new investors may purchase shares of such classes, but existing shareholders may continue to purchase additional shares of such classes, and (ii) with respect to Class C shares, neither new investors nor existing shareholders may purchase any additional shares of such class.

In determining whether an issuer is a U.S. or non-U.S. company, the International Small Cap Fund will consider various factors including its country of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency. Under normal market conditions, the International Small Cap Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the stocks of “small cap companies.” The Adviser currently characterizes small capitalization companies as those with total common stock market values of $3 billion or less at the time of investment. The investment policy of the International Small Cap Fund relating to the type of securities in which 80% of the International Small Cap Fund’s net assets must be invested may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will, however, receive at least sixty days notice prior to any change in this policy. The International Small Cap Fund may invest in non-U.S. markets throughout the world, including emerging markets. The International Small Cap Fund considers emerging markets to be markets located in countries classified as emerging or frontier markets by MSCI, and are generally located in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, and Africa. Ordinarily, the International Small Cap Fund will invest in the securities of issuers located in at least five countries outside the U.S. There are no geographic limits on the International Small Cap Fund’s non-U.S. investments. In selecting investments, the Adviser seeks issuers with a dominant market share or niche franchise in growing and/or consolidating industries. The Adviser considers for purchase the stocks of small capitalization (capitalization is the price per share multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) companies with experienced management, strong balance sheets, and rising free cash flow and earnings. The Adviser’s goal is to invest long term in the stocks of companies trading at reasonable market valuations relative to perceived economic worth. Frequently, smaller capitalization companies exhibit one or more of the following traits: •New products or technologies •New distribution methods •Rapid changes in industry conditions due to regulatory or other developments •Changes in management or similar characteristics that may result not only in expected growth in revenues but in an accelerated or above average rate of earnings growth, which would usually be reflected in capital appreciation. In addition, because smaller capitalization companies are less actively followed by stock analysts and less information is available on which to base stock price evaluations, the market may overlook favorable trends in particular smaller growth companies and then adjust its valuation more quickly once investor interest is gained. Principal Risks An investment in the International Small Cap Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell International Small Cap Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the International Small Cap Fund. •Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the prices of the securities held by the International Small Cap Fund will change due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the companies issuing the securities participate and the issuer company’s particular circumstances. •Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades, and the Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate in response. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions therefore may decline. Inflation may result in losses to Fund shareholders. •Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. These risks are more pronounced in the securities of companies located in emerging markets. •Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may experience sharp price swings, as there may be less government supervision and regulation of business in such markets, and may entail risks relating to political and economic instability and expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, lack of hedging instruments, and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Securities markets in emerging markets may be less liquid and developed than those in the United States, potentially making prices erratic. Economic or political crises may detrimentally affect investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience substantial rates of inflation or deflation. The economies of developing countries tend to be dependent upon international trade. There may be little financial information available about emerging market issuers, and it may be difficult to obtain or enforce a judgment against them. Other risks include a high concentration of investors, financial intermediaries, and market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers and industries; vulnerability to changes in commodity prices due to overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources, overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. For all of these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. •Interest Rate Risk. The Fund is subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of rising interest rates. There is a possibility that interest rates may continue to rise further in the future, particularly in response to actions of the Federal Reserve to combat the currently high rates of inflation. There is a risk that increased interest rates may cause the economy to enter a recession. Any such recession would negatively impact the Fund and the investments held by the Fund. •Currency Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign currency denominated investments and may widen any losses. The International Small Cap Fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies. In addition, the International Small Cap Fund’s investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. •Depositary Receipts. The International Small Cap Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. While ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, many of the risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also apply to ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer. •Growth Stock Risk. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. •Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to an issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets or factors unrelated to the issuer’s value, such as investor perception. •Management Risk. If the portfolio manager is incorrect in his assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the International Small Cap Fund holds, then the value of the International Small Cap Fund’s shares may decline. •Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of the International Small Cap Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the International Small Cap Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry and more susceptible to risks with a single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence than shares of a diversified mutual fund. •Smaller Capitalization Risk. Risk is greater for the securities of smaller capitalization companies (including small unseasoned companies that have been in operation for less than three years) because such companies generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. •Market Risk. General economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, energy and other resource shortages, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances (including governmental responses to public health crises or the spread of infectious diseases), may have long-term negative effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy, and thus the Fund.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL RISING INCOME AND DIVIDEND FUND (THE “GRID FUND”) Investment Objective The GRID Fund seeks to provide investors with a high level of total return through a combination of current income and appreciation of capital. Fees and Expenses of the GRID Fund: The GRID Fund’s Class AAA, Class A and Class C shares are “closed to purchases from new investors.” “Closed to purchases from new investors” means: (i) with respect to Class AAA and Class A shares, no new investors may purchase shares of such classes, but existing shareholders may continue to purchase additional shares of such classes, and (ii) with respect to Class C shares, neither new investors nor existing shareholders may purchase any additional shares of such class. This closure has no effect on existing shareholders’ ability to redeem shares of the GRID Fund as described herein. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the GRID Fund. <span class="xdx_phnt_RGlzY2xvc3VyZSAtIFJpc2svUmV0dXJuIERldGFpbCBEYXRhIHtFbGVtZW50c30A" id="xdx_902_err--ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts_c20230428__20230428__dei--LegalEntityAxis__custom--S000001064Member_zZclYG1kJtvc">You may qualify for sales charge discounts on Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $<span class="xdx_phnt_RGlzY2xvc3VyZSAtIFJpc2svUmV0dXJuIERldGFpbCBEYXRhIHtFbGVtZW50c30A" id="xdx_906_err--ExpenseBreakpointMinimumInvestmentRequiredAmount_c20230428__20230428__dei--LegalEntityAxis__custom--S000001064Member_zQbm3IeQwqFi">50,000 in Class A shares of the Gabelli family of mutual funds when and if initial investments into Class A shares are reopened.

The GRID Fund will primarily invest in common stocks of foreign and domestic issuers that the GRID Fund’s portfolio manager believes are likely to pay dividends and income and have the potential for above average capital appreciation and dividend increases. To this end, the portfolio manager may invest in stocks that pay and increase dividends over time that can potentially provide “rising income.” Rising income stocks historically have provided a better total return over time, potentially combat inflation and offer the opportunity to potentially take advantage of compounding through dividend and income reinvestment. Under normal circumstances, the GRID Fund intends to invest in at least three countries, including the United States, and will invest at least 40% of its total assets in countries other than the United States. The GRID Fund invests in companies whose stocks the Adviser believes are selling at a significant discount to their “private market value.” Private market value is the value the Adviser believes informed investors would be willing to pay to acquire the entire company. If investor attention is focused on the underlying asset value of a company due to expected or actual developments or other catalysts, an investment opportunity to realize this private market value may exist. The GRID Fund may utilize certain “arbitrage” strategies. The GRID Fund’s use of arbitrage may be described as investing in “event” driven situations such as announced mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations. When a company agrees to be acquired by another company, its stock price often quickly rises to just below the stated acquisition price. If the Adviser, through extensive research, determines that the acquisition is likely to be consummated on schedule at the stated acquisition price, then the GRID Fund may purchase the selling company’s securities, offering the GRID Fund the possibility of generous returns relative to cash equivalents with a limited risk of excessive loss of capital. The GRID Fund may invest in convertible securities, which include bonds, debentures, corporate notes, preferred stocks, and other similar securities which are convertible or exchangeable for common stock within a particular time period at a specified price or formula, of foreign and domestic companies with no target maturity range. Because many convertible securities are rated below investment grade, the GRID Fund may invest without limit in convertible securities rated lower than “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) or “Baa” or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser, including up to 5% of its assets in convertible securities of issuers in default. The GRID Fund also may invest up to 25% of its assets in non-convertible fixed income securities that are below investment grade, including up to 5% of its assets in non-convertible fixed income securities of issuers that are in default. Principal Risks An investment in the GRID Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell GRID Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the GRID Fund. •Convertible Securities. Convertible securities provide higher yields than the underlying common stock, but generally offer lower yields than nonconvertible securities of similar quality. The value of convertible securities fluctuates in relation to changes in the interest rates and, in addition, fluctuates in relation to the underlying common stock. •Credit Risk for Convertible Securities and Fixed Income Securities. Many convertible securities are not investment grade, that is, not rated within the four highest categories by S&P and Moody’s. To the extent that the GRID Fund’s convertible securities and any other fixed income securities are rated lower than investment grade or are not rated, there would be a greater risk as to the timely repayment of the principal of, and timely payment of interest or dividends on, those securities. •Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the prices of the securities held by the GRID Fund will change due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the companies issuing the securities participate and the issuer company’s particular circumstances. Dividends on common equity securities are not fixed but are declared at the discretion of an issuer’s board of directors. Companies that have historically paid dividends on their securities are not required to continue to pay dividends on such securities. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the common equity securities will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will remain at current levels or increase over time. Therefore, there is the possibility that such companies could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future. The GRID Fund’s investments in dividend producing equity securities may also limit its potential for appreciation during a broad market advance. The prices of dividend producing equity securities can be highly volatile. Investors should not assume that the GRID Fund’s investments in these securities will necessarily reduce the volatility of the GRID Fund’s NAV or provide “protection,” compared to other types of equity securities, when markets perform poorly. •Market Risk. General economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, energy and other resource shortages, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances (including governmental responses to public health crises or the spread of infectious diseases), may have long-term negative effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy, and thus the Fund. •Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades, and the Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate in response. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions therefore may decline. Inflation may result in losses to Fund shareholders. •Event Driven Risk. Event driven investments involve the risk that certain of the events driving the investment may not happen or the market may react differently than expected to the anticipated transaction. In addition, although an event may occur or is announced, it may be renegotiated, terminated or involve a longer time frame than originally contemplated. Event driven investment transactions are also subject to the risk of overall market movements. Any one of these risks could cause the GRID Fund to experience investment losses impacting its shares negatively. •Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. These risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. •Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may experience sharp price swings, as there may be less government supervision and regulation of business in such markets, and may entail risks relating to political and economic instability and expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, lack of hedging instruments, and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Securities markets in emerging markets may be less liquid and developed than those in the United States, potentially making prices erratic. Economic or political crises may detrimentally affect investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience substantial rates of inflation or deflation. The economies of developing countries tend to be dependent upon international trade. There may be little financial information available about emerging market issuers, and it may be difficult to obtain or enforce a judgment against them. Other risks include a high concentration of investors, financial intermediaries, and market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers and industries; vulnerability to changes in commodity prices due to overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources, overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. For all of these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. •Currency Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign currency denominated investments and may widen any losses. The GRID Fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies. In addition, the GRID Fund’s investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. •Depositary Receipts. The GRID Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. While ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, many of the risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also apply to ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer. •Interest Rate Risk. The primary risk associated with dividend- and interest-paying securities is interest rate risk. A decrease in interest rates will generally result in an increase in the investment value of such securities, while increases in interest rates will generally result in a decline in its investment value. This effect is generally more pronounced for fixed rate securities than for securities whose income rate is periodically reset. The GRID Fund is subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of rising interest rates. There is a possibility that interest rates may continue to rise further in the future, particularly in response to actions of the Federal Reserve to combat the currently high rates of inflation. There is a risk that increased interest rates may cause the economy to enter a recession. Any such recession would negatively impact the GRID Fund and the investments held by the GRID Fund. •Lower Rated Securities. Lower rated securities may involve major risk exposures such as increased sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, and the market to sell such securities may be limited. Such lower rated securities are considered speculative investments with increased credit risk and are generally known as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities”. Investments in lower rated securities may also include securities of issuers that are in default. Investments in securities of issuers in default present even greater risk exposure for the GRID Fund. •Growth Stock Risk. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. •Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to an issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets or factors unrelated to the issuer’s value, such as investor perception. •Management Risk. If the portfolio manager is incorrect in his assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the GRID Fund holds, then the value of the GRID Fund’s shares may decline. •Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of the GRID Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the GRID Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence than shares of a diversified mutual fund.

GABELLI GLOBAL MINI MITESTM FUND (THE “GLOBAL MINI MITES FUND”) Investment Objectives The Global Mini Mites Fund primarily seeks to provide investors with long term capital appreciation. Fees and Expenses of the Global Mini Mites Fund: The Global Mini Mites Fund’s respective Class AAA, Class A and Class C shares are “closed to purchases from new investors.” “Closed to purchases from new investors” means: (i) with respect to Class AAA and Class A shares, no new investors may purchase shares of such classes, but existing shareholders may continue to purchase additional shares of such classes, and (ii) with respect to Class C shares, neither new investors nor existing shareholders may purchase any additional shares of such class. This closure has no effect on existing shareholders’ ability to redeem shares of the Global Mini Mites Fund as described herein.

Equity securities include common stocks (including indirect holdings of common stock through depositary receipts), as well as other equity securities such as preferred stocks and convertible securities. Micro-cap companies may be engaged in new and emerging industries. Microcap companies are generally not well-known to investors and have less of an investor following than larger companies. As a “global” fund, the Global Mini Mites Fund invests in securities of issuers, or related investments thereof, located in at least three countries, and at least 40% of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s total net assets are invested in securities of non-U.S. issuers or related investments thereof (such as depositary receipts and derivative instruments). The Global Mini Mites Fund may invest in companies located in developed or emerging markets as well as in non-equity securities, such as corporate bonds or other debt securities or financial instruments, including foreign debt securities. The Adviser’s investment philosophy with respect to buying and selling equity securities is to identify assets that are selling in the public market at a discount to their private market value (“PMV”), and the Global Mini Mites Fund focuses on micro-cap companies that appear to be underpriced relative to their PMV. PMV is the value the Adviser believes informed purchasers would be willing to pay to acquire a company or other assets with similar characteristics. The Adviser considers factors such as price, earnings expectations, earnings and price histories, balance sheet characteristics, and perceived management skills. The Adviser also considers changes in economic and political outlooks as well as individual corporate developments. Further, the Adviser looks for catalysts, factors indigenous to the company, its industry or geographic positioning that may surface additional value, including, but not limited to, industry developments, regulatory changes, changes in management, sale or spin-off of a division, or the development of a profitable new business. Additionally, the Adviser may also consider the securities of companies that appear to have favorable yet undervalued prospects for earnings growth and price appreciation. In this regard, the Adviser may invest the Global Mini Mites Fund’s assets in companies that it believes have above average or expanding market shares, profit margins, and returns on equity. In evaluating growth prospects, the Adviser uses fundamental security analysis to develop earnings forecasts for companies and to identify investment opportunities. The Adviser bases its analysis on general economic and industry data provided by the U.S. Government, various trade associations and other sources, and published corporate financial data such as annual reports and quarterly statements as well as direct interviews with company management. When applying a growth strategy, the Adviser seeks to invest in companies with high future earnings potential relative to their current market valuations. The Adviser expects to seek to sell investments that lose their perceived value relative to other investments, which could occur because of, among other things, a security reaching a predetermined price target, a change to a company’s fundamentals that make the risk/reward profile unattractive, or a need to improve the overall risk/reward profile of the Global Mini Mites Fund. The Global Mini Mites Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and other similar global instruments, which are generally subject to risks associated with equity securities and investments in foreign (non-U.S.) securities. ADRs are receipts issued by U.S. banks or trust companies in respect of securities of foreign issuers held on deposit for use in the U.S. securities markets. EDRs, which are sometimes referred to as Continental Depositary Receipts, are receipts issued in Europe, typically by non-U.S. banks and trust companies, that evidence ownership of either non-U.S. or domestic underlying securities. GDRs are depositary receipts structured like global debt issues to facilitate trading on an international basis. ADRs are usually denominated in U.S. dollars and dividends and other payments from the issuer are converted by the custodian into U.S. dollars before payment to receipt holders. In most other respects, ADRs, EDRs and GDRs for foreign securities have the same characteristics as the underlying securities. Principal Risks An investment in the Global Mini Mites Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell Global Mini Mites Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the Global Mini Mites Fund. •Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Global Mini Mites Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Global Mini Mites Fund decreases in value. •Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades, and the Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate in response. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions therefore may decline. Inflation may result in losses to Fund shareholders. •Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, tariffs or punitive taxation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. These risks are more pronounced in the securities of companies located in emerging markets. •Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities risks are more pronounced in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may experience sharp price swings, as there may be less government supervision and regulation of business in such markets, and may entail risks relating to political and economic instability and expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, lack of hedging instruments, and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Securities markets in emerging markets may be less liquid and developed than those in the United States, potentially making prices erratic. Economic or political crises may detrimentally affect investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience substantial rates of inflation or deflation. The economies of developing countries tend to be dependent upon international trade. There may be little financial information available about emerging market issuers, and it may be difficult to obtain or enforce a judgment against them. Other risks include a high concentration of investors, financial intermediaries, and market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers and industries; vulnerability to changes in commodity prices due to overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources, overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. For all of these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. •Interest Rate Risk. The Fund is subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of rising interest rates. There is a possibility that interest rates may continue to rise further in the future, particularly in response to actions of the Federal Reserve to combat the currently high rates of inflation. There is a risk that increased interest rates may cause the economy to enter a recession. Any such recession would negatively impact the Fund and the investments held by the Fund. •Currency Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign currency denominated investments and may widen any losses. The Global Mini Mites Fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies. In addition, the Global Mini Mites Fund’s investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. •Depositary Receipts. The Global Mini Mites Fund may invest in non-U.S. equity securities through depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. While ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, many of the risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also apply to ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer. •Micro-Cap Company Risk. Although micro-cap companies may offer greater potential for capital appreciation than larger companies, investing in securities of such companies may involve greater risks than investing in larger, more established companies, including the risk of loss and the risk that the Global Mini Mites Fund’s returns may differ significantly from returns of funds investing in larger-cap companies or other asset classes. Micro-cap companies may be new or unseasoned companies which are in their very early stages of development. Micro-cap companies generally have limited product lines, markets, management personnel, competitive strengths, research, and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse business or market developments. Their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume, and are subject to more abrupt or erratic market price movements, than the securities of larger, more established companies. The Global Mini Mites Fund may be able to deal with only a few market-makers when purchasing and selling micro-cap securities, and may need a considerable amount of time to purchase or sell its positions in these securities. Also, micro-cap companies are typically subject to greater changes in earnings and business prospects than larger companies. Consequently, micro-cap company stock prices tend to rise and fall in value more than other stock prices. Micro-cap securities are highly volatile, and these companies may fail to execute their business plans and go out of business. Micro-cap companies carry additional risks because of the tendency of their earnings and revenues to be less predictable. Micro-cap companies may be more vulnerable than larger companies to key personnel losses due to reliance on a smaller number of management personnel. These conditions, which create greater opportunities to find securities trading below the Adviser’s estimate of the company’s current worth, also involve increased risk. The shares of micro-cap companies may require fair-value pricing, which is subjective and requires judgment by the Adviser, and may be at risk for de-listing from a securities exchange, making it difficult for the Global Mini Mites Fund to buy and sell shares of a particular company. The actual market prices for a security may differ from the fair value of that security as determined by the Adviser, and there is no assurance that the Global Mini Mites Fund will realize fair valuation upon the sale of a security. In addition, there may be less public information available about micro-cap companies. It may take a long time before the Global Mini Mites Fund realizes a gain, if any, on an investment in a micro-cap company. Micro-cap companies may have limited financial resources and little or no access to additional credit and therefore may be more susceptible to market downturns or rising credit costs than larger, more established companies. The risks of investing in micro-cap companies are even greater than those of investing in small-cap companies, which may have market capitalizations of up to $3 billion at the time of investment. •Growth Stock Risk. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile since such companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. •Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to an issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets or factors unrelated to the issuer’s value, such as investor perception. •Management Risk. If the portfolio managers are incorrect in their assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the Global Mini Mites Fund holds, then the value of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s shares may decline. •Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory event than a diversified fund. •Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that certain of the Global Mini Mites Fund’s securities holdings may be considered to be illiquid, which means that they may become difficult to value, purchase, or sell. This could prevent the Global Mini Mites Fund from purchasing or selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, and could require the Global Mini Mites Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Because the trading market for micro and nano-cap stocks is generally more volatile, thin, and unpredictable relative to larger capitalization stocks, the Global Mini Mites Fund is subject to greater liquidity risk than a fund that invests in larger capitalization stocks. •Market Risk. General economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, energy and other resource shortages, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances (including governmental responses to public health crises or the spread of infectious diseases), may have long-term negative effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy, and thus the Fund. •Limited Operating History. The Global Mini Mites Fund commenced operations on October 1, 2018 and therefore has a limited operating history and may have higher expenses (although the Global Mini Mites Fund expects that such expenses would be limited under its Expense Deferral Agreement with the Adviser).
