Through G.research, doing business as “Gabelli & Company”, we provide institutional research services and act as
an underwriter. G.research is regulated by FINRA. G.research’s revenues are derived primarily from institutional
research services, underwriting fees and selling concessions. Our research analysts are industry-focused, following
sectors based on our core competencies. They research companies across market capitalizations on a global basis.
The primary function of the research team is to gather data, array the data, and then project and interpret data from
which investment decisions can be made. Analysts publish their insights in the form of research reports and daily
notes. In addition, G.research hosts conferences which bring together industry leaders and institutional investors.
The objective of institutional research services is to provide superior investment ideas to investment decision
makers. A significant portion of our institutional research services and underwriting revenues are from GAMCO and
its affiliates. We can provide no assurance that GAMCO and its affiliates will continue to use our institutional
research and underwriting services to the same extent in the future.
Analysts are generally assigned to research platforms, overseen by a senior analyst, whose role is to ensure a
consistent process, enhance idea cross-fertilization and knowledge-sharing. Our research platforms include Digital,
