Performance Discussion (Unaudited)

Despite the continued monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve, continued inflation, and the fall of Silicon Valley Bank, the Fund’s performance has improved during the last six months and has been consistent with its convertible securities benchmarks and with U.S. Corporate and U.S. Government fixed income results.

With this general improvement, issuance of new convertibles has modestly improved. In the first quarter 2023, there were 18 new convertible securities issued with proceeds totaling $11 billion, an improvement over the first calendar quarter 2022 but still slower than most of the last decade. That said, the terms of these issues continue to stay at more attractive levels to the buyer than they were through early 2022 and in 2021, with higher yields and lower premiums. This pace of issuance implies a material improvement over the 58 issues that generated $28.4B in 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, the Bloomberg Barclays US Convertible market was $270 billion, comprised of 558 issues, with an average yield to best of 5.2%, a current yield of 2%, a premium to conversion value of 53%, an average delta (a measure of sensitivity to stock price movements) of 47%, and an average duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) of 2.02 years. The average credit rating is estimated as just at the edge of investment grade, or roughly BBB to BB. Cash pay bonds (including 0% coupon issues issued at par) make up 88% of the index market capitalization, mandatory structures (mostly preferred shares) 8%, and convertible perpetual preferred shares 4%. Within this market, 29% of the market is considered equity equivalent and moves closely with the underlying common stock, 33% provide a total return from both equity sensitivity and fixed income attributes, 34% are fixed income equivalent, and a small residual are considered distressed.

On March 31, 2023, Gabelli Convertible and Income Fund’s portfolio had a weighted average yield to best of 5.87%, a weighted average current yield of 2.27%, a weighted average premium to conversion value of 149%, a median premium to conversion value of 40.2%, a weighted average delta of 45%, and a duration of 2.1 years. Equity equivalent issues make up 6% of the Fund, total return makes up 50%, and fixed income equivalents make up 36%, with cash and equivalents making up the remainder.

Among our stronger performing positions for the period were: Mercado Libre Inc.2%, 8/15/28 (1.6% of total investments as of March 31, 2023), which operates Mercado Libre Marketplace, an online commerce platform in Latin America that enables businesses, merchants, and individuals to list merchandise and conduct sales and purchases online; Indie Semiconductor Inc. 4.5%, 11/15/27 (3.1%), which provides automotive semiconductors and software solutions for advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicle, in-cabin, connected car, and electrification applications in the North and South America, Greater China, and the Pacific Rim, and Europe; and InterDigital Inc. 3.5%, 06/01/27 (2.3%), together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops technologies that enable and enhance wireless communications in the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Europe.

Some of the weaker holdings in the portfolio included: Cutera Inc. 2.25%, 06/01/28 (1.6%) which provides aesthetic and dermatology solutions for medical practitioners worldwide; and Dish Network Corp.0.0% 12/15/25 (1.6%) together with its subsidiaries, provides Pay-TV services in the United States. The company operates in two segments, Pay-TV and Wireless.

1. Organization. The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund was incorporated on December 19, 1988 in Maryland. The Fund is a diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective is to seek a high level of total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing in convertible securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 3, 1989. At a special meeting of stockholders held on February 17, 1995, the Board of Directors (the Board) voted to approve the conversion of the Fund to closed-end status, effective March 31, 1995. On February 15, 2023, the Board approved a change on the fiscal year end of the Fund from December 31 to September 30, effective as of September 30, 2023. This report reflects the activity of the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, has caused adverse effects on many companies, sectors, nations, regions, and the markets in general, and may continue for an unpredictable duration. The effects of this pandemic may materially impact the value and performance of the Fund, its ability to buy and sell fund investments at appropriate valuations, and its ability to achieve its investment objectives.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by Gabelli Funds, LLC (the Adviser).

Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt obligations for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the securities are valued using the closing bid price, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the securities’ fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded. OTC futures and options on futures for which market quotations are readily available will be valued by quotations received from a pricing service or, if no quotations are available from a pricing service, by quotations obtained from one or more dealers in the instrument in question by the Adviser.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below: 

●   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities; 

●   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and 

●   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Board’s determinations as to the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments by inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2023 is as follows:

	Valuation Inputs
	Level 1 Quoted Prices		Level 2 Other Significant Observable Inputs		Total Market Value at 03/31/23
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES:
ASSETS (Market Value):
Convertible Corporate Bonds (a)		—	$	81,630,791	$	81,630,791
Mandatory Convertible Securities (a)	$	3,726,150		1,725,593		5,451,743
Common Stocks (a)		4,539,862		—		4,539,862
U.S. Government Obligations		—		4,372,876		4,372,876
TOTAL INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES – ASSETS	$	8,266,012	$	87,729,260	$	95,995,272

The Fund held no level 3 investments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Additional Information to Evaluate Qualitative Information.

General. The Fund uses recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser – to value most of its securities, and uses broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds are ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices supplied by external sources are checked by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed

 17

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.

Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be common or preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, or fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days, or for which current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. When fair valuing a security, factors to consider include recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.

The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies and procedures. These may include backtesting the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.

Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock. For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of preferred stock that has a mandatory call date is classified as a liability within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the dividends paid on this preferred stock are included as a component of “Interest expense on preferred stock” within the Statement of Operations. Offering costs are amortized over the life of the preferred stock.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

Foreign Securities. The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual

 18

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. At March 31, 2023, the Fund did not hold any restricted securities.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain/(loss) on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method or amortized to earliest call date, if applicable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund becomes aware of such dividends.

Custodian Fee Credits. When cash balances are maintained in the custody account, the Fund receives credits which are used to offset custodian fees. The gross expenses paid under the custody arrangement are included in custodian fees in the Statement of Operations with the corresponding expense offset, if any, shown as “Custodian fee credits.”

Distributions to Stockholders. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to stockholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences, and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund.

The Fund declares and pays quarterly distributions from net investment income, capital gains, and paid-in capital. The actual source of the distribution is determined after the end of the year. Distributions during the year may be made in excess of required distributions. To the extent such distributions are made from current earnings and profits, they are considered ordinary income or long term capital gains. Distributions sourced from paid-in capital should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment in the Fund. The Board will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s NAV and the financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board at any time.

Distributions to stockholders of the Fund’s 5.200% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series G Preferred) are recorded on a daily basis and are determined as described in Note 6.

 19

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows:

	Common
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income (inclusive of short term capital gains)	$	898,661
Net long term capital gains		8,152,245
Return of capital		74,231
Total distributions paid	$	9,125,137

Provision for Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

The following summarizes the tax cost of investments and the related net unrealized depreciation at March 31, 2023:

			Gross		Gross
			Unrealized		Unrealized		Net Unrealized
	Cost		Appreciation		Depreciation		Depreciation
Investments	$99,520,281	$6,492,531		$(10,017,540)		$(3,525,009)

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-thannot threshold. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2023, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. The Fund’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund’s tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

3.  Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions. The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with the Adviser which provides that the Fund will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal on an annual basis to 1.00% of the value of its average daily net assets including the liquidation value of preferred stock. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio and oversees the administration of all aspects of the Fund’s business and affairs.

4.  Portfolio Securities. Purchases and sales of securities during the period ended March 31, 2023, other than short term securities and U.S. Government obligations, aggregated $14,655,468 and $6,001,982, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government Obligations for the period ended March 31, 2023 aggregated $4,359,276 and $16,621,513, respectively.

5. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Arrangements. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Fund paid $102 in brokerage commissions on security trades to G.research, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser.

 20

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from a designated broker who agreed to pay certain Fund operating expenses. The amount of such expenses paid through this directed brokerage arrangement during this period was $1,075.

The cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Under the sub-administration agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, the fees paid include the cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV. The Fund reimburses the Adviser for this service. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Fund accrued $11,500 in accounting fees in the Statement of Operations.

As per the approval of the Board, the Fund compensates officers of the Fund, who are employed by the Fund and are not employed by the Adviser (although the officers may receive incentive based variable compensation from affiliates of the Adviser). During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Fund accrued $21,061 in payroll expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund pays each Independent Director and certain Interested Directors retainers and per meeting fees, plus specified amounts to the Lead Director and Audit Committee Chairman. Directors are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. Directors who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.

6.  Capital. The charter permits the Fund to issue 998,000,000 shares of common stock (par value $0.001). The Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 common shares on the open market when the shares are trading at a discount of 10% or more (or such other percentage as the Board may determine from time to time) from the NAV of the shares. During the period ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market.

For the period ended March 31, 2023 and the year December 31, 2022, transactions in common stock were as follows:

	Period Ended March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)				Year Ended December 31, 2022
	Shares		Amount		Shares		Amount
Net increase in net assets from common shares issued upon reinvestment of distributions		89,463	$	372,257		294,735	$	1,527,428

As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had an effective shelf registration, which expires on August 16, 2024, authorizing the issuance of $125 million in common or preferred shares.

The Fund’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,995,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is senior to the common stock and results in the financial leveraging of the common stock. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to common stockholders. Dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock are cumulative. The Fund is required by the 1940 Act and by the Fund’s Articles Supplementary to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Preferred Stock. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Series G Preferred at a redemption price of $10 per share plus an amount equal to the

 21

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet these requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund’s ability to pay dividends to common stockholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The income received on the Fund’s assets may vary in a manner unrelated to the fixed and variable rates, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to common stockholders.

On December 29, 2022, the Fund issued 1,500,000 shares of Series G 5.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock, receiving $14,915,000 after the deduction of estimated offering expenses of $85,000. The Series G has a liquidation value of $10 per share and an annual dividend rate of 5.20%. The Series G Preferred is subject to mandatory redemption by the Fund on June 26, 2025. At March 31, 2023, 1,500,000 shares of Series G Preferred were outstanding and accrued dividends amounted to $199,333.

The Series G Preferred Shares are not subject to optional redemption unless such redemption is necessary, in the judgment of the Board, to maintain the Fund’s status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will also redeem all or any part of the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares that holders have properly tendered for redemption during the 60-day period prior to each of December 26, 2023 and December 26, 2024 at the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.

On October 16, 2019, the Fund issued 350,000 shares of Series E Preferred 4.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, receiving $34,876,680 after the deduction of offering expenses of $123,320. The Series E had a liquidation value of $100 per share and an annual dividend rate of 4.00%.

On December 1, 2022, 337,600 shares of Series E were put back to the Fund at their liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The holders of Preferred Stock generally are entitled to one vote per share held on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Fund and will vote together with holders of common stock as a single class. The holders of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class also have the right currently to elect two Directors and, under certain circumstances, are entitled to elect a majority of the Board. In addition, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares of the preferred stock, voting as a single class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization adversely affecting the preferred stock, and the approval of two-thirds of each class, voting separately, of the Fund’s outstanding voting stock must approve the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company. The approval of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding preferred stock and a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are required to approve certain other actions, including changes in the Fund’s investment objectives or fundamental investment policies.

7. Significant Shareholder. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 11% of Common Shares and 15.3% of the combined Common and Preferred shares were beneficially owned by the Adviser and its affiliates, including managed accounts for which the affiliates of the Adviser have voting control but disclaim pecuniary interest.

8. Convertible Securities Concentration. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, under normal market conditions, in a combination of convertible securities and income producing securities (the 80% Policy). The Fund expects to continue its practice of focusing on convertible securities to the extent attractive opportunities are available. The 80% Policy may be changed without stockholder approval. However, the Fund

 22

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

has adopted a policy to provide stockholders with notice at least 60 days prior to the implementation of any change in the 80% Policy.

9.  Indemnifications. The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact on the Fund of all subsequent events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Stockholder Meeting – May 22, 2023 – Final Results

The Fund’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on May 22, 2023. At that meeting, common and preferred stockholders, voting together as a single class, re-elected Vincent D. Enright, Anthonie C. van Ekris, and Salvatore J. Zizza as Directors of the Fund, with 11,821,025 votes, 11,827,861 votes, and 11,818,595 votes cast in favor of these Directors, and 2,291,937 votes, 2,285,101 votes, and 2,294,367 votes withheld for these Directors, respectively.

In addition, preferred stockholders, voting as a separate class, re-elected Anthony S. Colavita as a Director of the Fund, with 1,000,000 votes cast in favor of this Director and no votes withheld for this Director.

John Birch, E. Val Cerutti, Thomas A. Dinsmore, Leslie F. Foley, Daniel D. Harding, Michael J. Melarkey, Agnes Mullady, Kuni Nakamura, and Werner J. Roeder continue to serve in their capacities as Directors of the Fund.

General Description of Registrant [Abstract]

Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]

Investment Objective (Unaudited)

The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company whose primary investment objective is to seek a high level of total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. 

Capital Stock, Long-Term Debt, and Other Securities [Abstract]

Capital Stock [Table Text Block]

6.  Capital. The charter permits the Fund to issue 998,000,000 shares of common stock (par value $0.001). The Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 common shares on the open market when the shares are trading at a discount of 10% or more (or such other percentage as the Board may determine from time to time) from the NAV of the shares. During the period ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market.

For the period ended March 31, 2023 and the year December 31, 2022, transactions in common stock were as follows:

	Period Ended March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)				Year Ended December 31, 2022
	Shares		Amount		Shares		Amount
Net increase in net assets from common shares issued upon reinvestment of distributions		89,463	$	372,257		294,735	$	1,527,428

As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had an effective shelf registration, which expires on August 16, 2024, authorizing the issuance of $125 million in common or preferred shares.

The Fund’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,995,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is senior to the common stock and results in the financial leveraging of the common stock. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to common stockholders. Dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock are cumulative. The Fund is required by the 1940 Act and by the Fund’s Articles Supplementary to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Preferred Stock. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Series G Preferred at a redemption price of $10 per share plus an amount equal to the

accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet these requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund’s ability to pay dividends to common stockholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The income received on the Fund’s assets may vary in a manner unrelated to the fixed and variable rates, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to common stockholders.

On December 29, 2022, the Fund issued 1,500,000 shares of Series G 5.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock, receiving $14,915,000 after the deduction of estimated offering expenses of $85,000. The Series G has a liquidation value of $10 per share and an annual dividend rate of 5.20%. The Series G Preferred is subject to mandatory redemption by the Fund on June 26, 2025. At March 31, 2023, 1,500,000 shares of Series G Preferred were outstanding and accrued dividends amounted to $199,333.

The Series G Preferred Shares are not subject to optional redemption unless such redemption is necessary, in the judgment of the Board, to maintain the Fund’s status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will also redeem all or any part of the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares that holders have properly tendered for redemption during the 60-day period prior to each of December 26, 2023 and December 26, 2024 at the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.

On October 16, 2019, the Fund issued 350,000 shares of Series E Preferred 4.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, receiving $34,876,680 after the deduction of offering expenses of $123,320. The Series E had a liquidation value of $100 per share and an annual dividend rate of 4.00%.

On December 1, 2022, 337,600 shares of Series E were put back to the Fund at their liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The holders of Preferred Stock generally are entitled to one vote per share held on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Fund and will vote together with holders of common stock as a single class. The holders of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class also have the right currently to elect two Directors and, under certain circumstances, are entitled to elect a majority of the Board. In addition, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares of the preferred stock, voting as a single class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization adversely affecting the preferred stock, and the approval of two-thirds of each class, voting separately, of the Fund’s outstanding voting stock must approve the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company. The approval of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding preferred stock and a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are required to approve certain other actions, including changes in the Fund’s investment objectives or fundamental investment policies.
