The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three, five and ten year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Data presented reflects past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Ratings are for Class AAA, A or Y shares only, other classes may have different performance characteristics. For each fund with at least a three year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category recieve 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Strong relative performance is not indicative of positive fund returns. 2008 absolute performance for most funds was negative. © 2009 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.

Income will be subject to federal income tax. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed nor insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. During the respective periods, the Adviser has waived certain fees and reimbursed expenses. Without such reimbursements or waivers return and rankings would have been lower.

Revenues

For the Quarter

Investment advisory fees for the third quarter 2009 were $41.0 million, a decline of 21.6% from $52.3 million in the 2008 third quarter (However, third quarter 2009 revenues were 13.9% higher than second quarter 2009):

-	Open-end fund revenues were $19.1 million versus $23.3 million in third quarter 2008, a drop of 18.0% primarily due to lower average AUM.

-	Our closed-end fund revenues fell 27.6% to $7.6 million in the third quarter 2009 from $10.5 million in 2008 on lower AUM.

-	Institutional and high net worth separate account revenues, which are based primarily upon prior quarter-end AUM, decreased 23.0% to $13.7 million from $17.8 million in third quarter 2008.

-	Investment partnership revenues were $0.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 28.6% from $0.7 million in 2008.

Our institutional research services subsidiary achieved revenues of $4.6 million in the third quarter 2009, up 12.2% from the third quarter 2008 amount of $4.1 million.

Open-end fund distribution fees and other income were $6.0 million for the third quarter 2009, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 9.1% from the prior year quarter of $6.6 million. The main driver of this decrease was reduced quarterly average assets in our open-end equity funds that generate distribution fees.

For the Nine Months

Investment advisory fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $112.1 million, a decline of 31.8% from $164.3 million in the 2008 period:

-	Open-end fund revenues were $51.7 million versus $71.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a drop of 28.0% primarily due to lower average AUM.

-	Our closed-end fund revenues fell 41.0% to $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $33.9 million in 2008 on lower AUM.

-	Institutional and high net worth separate account revenues, which are based primarily upon prior quarter-end AUM, decreased 31.0% to $38.9 million from $56.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

-	Investment partnership revenues were $1.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 31.8% from $2.2 million in 2008.

Our institutional research services subsidiary achieved revenues of $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, up 10.9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amount of $11.0 million reflecting an expanded client base attributable to increased sales and trade execution as well as the success of our research product offerings.

Open-end fund distribution fees and other income were $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 19.8% from the prior year nine month period of $19.7 million. The main driver of this decrease was lower average assets in our open-end equity funds that generate distribution fees.

Operating Income and Margin

Operating income before management fee was $19.5 million in the third quarter 2009, 15.2% lower than the $23.0 million in the third quarter 2008. For the third quarter 2009, the operating margin before management fee increased to 37.8%, versus 36.5% in the third quarter of 2008 and 33.1% in the second quarter of 2009. Attention to administrative expenses contributed to the improved margin.

Operating income before management fee was $47.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, 34.3% lower than the $72.0 million in the comparable 2008 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the operating margin before management fee was 33.8%, versus 37.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

At September 30, 2009, we had unearned incentive fee revenues of $16.7 million on the assets with incentive based fees representing $0.20 per diluted share after direct expenses (compensation) and taxes. These fees, which vary with the market value of the related AUM, are not recorded as revenues until the contract period has ended, which for the majority of these arrangements is December 31, 2009.

Other Income / (Expense)

Other income/(expense) (net of interest expense) was income of $7.0 million in the third quarter 2009 versus expense of $5.5 million in the prior year’s third quarter on improved investment income.

Other income/(expense) (net of interest expense) was income of $15.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 versus expense of $9.2 million in the prior year’s period on improved investment income.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the third quarter 2009 was 37.4%, compared to the 2008 quarter’s effective rate of 24.4%. The prior quarter’s reduced rate was due to a reduction of income tax reserves.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 35.3%, compared with the effective rate for the 2008 comparable period of 35.1%.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The average annual returns and total returns shown above are historical and reflect changes in share price, reinvested dividends and capital gains and are net of expenses. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. As a non-diversified fund, the Gabelli ABC Fund may have a larger portion of its assets in a single issuer than a more diversified fund. Because the fund invests in announced mergers and acquisitions, the Fund is subject to the risk that the announced merger or acquisition may not be completed, may be negotiated at a less attractive price, or may not close on the expected date. Securities of smaller companies present greater risk 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. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. Call 1-800-GABELLI for performance as of the most recent month-end.

Other Financial Highlights

Statement of Financial Condition – Liquidity and Flexibility

Our liquid balance sheet provides access to financial markets and the flexibility to opportunistically add operating resources to our firm, repurchase our stock and consider strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and lift-outs.

The Company’s shelf registration provides GAMCO with the flexibility of issuing any combination of senior and subordinate debt securities, convertible debt securities and equity securities (including common and preferred securities) up to a total amount of $400 million.

We ended the quarter with approximately $702.2 million in cash and investments versus $677.9 million at June 30, 2009. This included approximately $80.8 million of our investments in The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Global Deal Fund and Westwood Holdings Group, as well as other investments of $10.7 million, all classified as available for sale securities.

Our debt at September 30, 2009 consisted of $99 million of 5.5% senior notes due May 2013, a $40 million 6% convertible note due August 2011 and a $60 million 6.5% convertible note due October 2018. We had adjusted cash and investments in securities, net of debt, noncontrolling interest and mandatorily redeemable shares, of $17.97 per share on September 30, 2009 compared with $17.03 per share on June 30, 2009. We caution that this metric, while correct from a mathematical point of view, is not always the same as investors would view cash-on-hand.

Book value was $482.0 million or $17.44 per share on September 30, 2009 compared to $471.1 million or $16.98 per share on June 30, 2009.

Shareholder Compensation

Dividends

On August 4, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share to all of its Class A and Class B shareholders, payable on September 29, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2009. We returned $0.8 million and $28.7 million in dividends during the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.8 million and $30.4 million in dividends during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

GAMCO announced that on November 6, 2009 its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share to all of its Class A and Class B shareholders, payable on December 29, 2009 to shareholders of record on December 15, 2009.

Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Repurchase

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased 115,900 of the Company’s shares at an average price of $45.14. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company has repurchased $5.4 million, representing 119,400 shares, at an average price of $45.24 per share.

Since our IPO of six million shares at a price of $17.50 per share in 1999, the Company has repurchased 6,171,983 shares at an average price of $39.88 per share for an investment of $246 million and has paid cumulative dividends of $148.2 million.

Shares outstanding on September 30, 2009 were 27.6 million, slightly lower than the June 30, 2009 shares of 27.7 million and 0.3 million shares, or 1.1%, below the 27.9 million shares outstanding on September 30, 2008. The decline in the outstanding shares from September 2008 to September 2009 primarily reflects open market repurchases of 316,500 shares. Fully diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2009 were 27.5 million, largely unchanged from the second quarter 2009’s level of 27.5 million and third quarter 2008’s level of 27.6 million.

We believe adjusted cash and investments is a more useful measure of the company’s liquidity for analytical purposes.

Net amounts receivable from/(payable to) brokers reflect cash and cash equivalents held with brokers and cash payable for securities purchased and recorded on a trade date basis for which settlement occurs subsequent to period-end.

Operating income before management fee expense is used by management for purposes of evaluating its business operations. We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income before management fee expense, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense. The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table VI.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Our disclosure and analysis in this press release contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include, without limitation: the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance of our products; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy or regulation; changes in our ability to attract or retain key employees; and unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory organizations. We also direct your attention to any more specific discussions of risk contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings. We are providing these statements as permitted by the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations or if we receive any additional information relating to the subject matters of our forward-looking statements.

Data presented reflects past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Strong rankings are not indicative of positive fund performance. Absolute performance for some funds was negative.

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads. If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on the total return or yield for the period.

Relative long-term investment performance remained strong with approximately 68%, 88%, 78% and 76% of firmwide mutual funds in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three-, five-, and ten-year total-return basis, respectively, as of September 30, 2009.

Investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of a fund before investing. The Prospectus which contains more information about this and other matters, should be read carefully before investing. You can obtain a prospectus by calling 1-800 GABELLI.
