ITEM 1. REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS.

                 THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND

                               SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                  JUNE 30, 2003


TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      We are  changing  the way we provide  portfolio  managers'  commentary  to
shareholders  of our Funds.  Our  shareholder  reports have typically  contained
commentary  on  each  portfolio  manager's   assessment  of  the  stock  market,
individual  stocks and how economic  events affect their  thinking in managing a
specific Fund. We have always provided  details about  performance and presented
returns,  both good and bad,  hopefully  in a clear and concise  fashion.  These
comments have been included as part of each Fund's quarterly,  semi-annual,  and
annual financial statements.

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's new corporate governance  regulations now require
a Fund's  principal  executive  and  financial  officers  to certify  the entire
contents of  shareholder  reports in a filing with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on form N-CSR.  This  certification  covers the  portfolio  manager's
commentary  and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached to or a part of the
financial statements.

      Rather than ask our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions and/or
restrict  their  commentary  to  historical  facts only,  we are removing  their
commentary from the financial statements and sending it to you separately.  As a
result,  this commentary will no longer be considered part of a Fund's financial
report and therefore will not be subject to the officers' certifications.

      We  trust  that  you  understand   that  our  approach  is  an  unintended
consequence of the  ever-increasing  regulatory  requirements  affecting  public
companies generally.  We hope the specific  certification  requirements of these
new  regulations  will be  modified  as  they  relate  to  mutual  funds,  since
investment  companies have different  corporate  structures and objectives  than
other public companies.

                                                    Sincerely yours,


                                                    /S/ BRUCE N. ALPERT

THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION.  The Gabelli Global Convertible Securities Fund (the "Fund"), a
series of Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc. (the  "Corporation"),  was organized
on July 16,  1993 as a  Maryland  corporation.  The  Fund is a  non-diversified,
open-end  management  investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is one of four separately  managed
portfolios  (collectively,  the  "Portfolios")  of the  Corporation.  The Fund's
primary  objective is to obtain a high rate of total return.  The Fund commenced
investment operations on February 3, 1994.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the 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.

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 of Directors so determines, by such other method as the Board of Directors
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
foreign  markets are generally  valued at the preceding  closing  values of such
securities  on  their  respective  exchanges  or if,  after  the  close,  market
conditions change  significantly,  certain foreign securities may be fair valued
pursuant to procedures  established  by the Board of Directors.  Securities  and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under
the general  supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short term debt  securities
with  remaining  maturities  of 60 days or less are  valued at  amortized  cost,
unless the Board of Directors  determines  such does not reflect the securities'
fair value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors. Debt instruments having a maturity greater
than 60 days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the
latest average of the bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted
on such day,  the  security is valued  using the closing bid price.  Options are
valued at the last sale price on the  exchange on which they are  listed.  If no
sales of such options have taken place that day, they will be valued at the mean
between their closing bid and asked prices.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with
primary  government  securities  dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board
with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers
that meet credit guidelines established by the Adviser and reviewed by the Board
of Directors.  Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes
possession  of an  underlying  debt  obligation  subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase,  and the Fund to resell,  the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby  determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
The Fund will always receive and maintain  securities as collateral whose market
value, including accrued

                                       6

THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

interest,  will be at least equal to 102% of the dollar  amount  invested by the
Fund in each agreement. The Fund will make payment for such securities only upon
physical  delivery or upon evidence of book entry  transfer of the collateral to
the  account of the  custodian.  To the extent that any  repurchase  transaction
exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is  marked-to-market  on a
daily basis to maintain the adequacy of the  collateral.  If the seller defaults
and the  value of the  collateral  declines  or if  bankruptcy  proceedings  are
commenced  with  respect  to the  seller  of the  security,  realization  of the
collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.  At June 30, 2003,  there were
no repurchase agreements.

OPTIONS.  The Fund may  purchase or write call or put options on  securities  or
indices. As a writer of call options,  the Fund receives a premium at the outset
and then bears the risk of  unfavorable  changes  in the price of the  financial
instrument  underlying  the option.  The Fund would incur a loss if the price of
the underlying  financial  instrument  increases  between the date the option is
written and the date on which the option is terminated. The Fund would realize a
gain,  to the extent of the premium,  if the price of the  financial  instrument
decreases between those dates.

As a purchaser of put options,  the Fund pays a premium for the right to sell to
the seller of the put option the underlying  security at a specified  price. The
seller of the put has the  obligation to purchase the  underlying  security upon
exercise  at the  exercise  price.  If the  price  of  the  underlying  security
declines,  the Fund would realize a gain upon sale or exercise.  If the price of
the underlying security increases, the Fund would realize a loss upon sale or at
expiration  date, but only to the extent of the premium paid. For the six months
ended June 30, 2003, the Fund did not purchase or write options.

FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in futures contracts for the purpose of
hedging  against  changes in the value of its  portfolio  securities  and in the
value of  securities  it  intends  to  purchase.  Upon  entering  into a futures
contract,  the Fund is required to deposit  with the broker an amount of cash or
cash equivalents equal to a certain  percentage of the contract amount.  This is
known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made
or  received by the Fund each day,  depending  on the daily  fluctuation  of the
value of the  contract.  The daily  changes  in the  contract  are  included  in
unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the
contract is closed. At June 30, 2003, there were no open futures contracts.

There are several  risks in  connection  with the use of futures  contracts as a
hedging device. The change in value of futures contracts  primarily  corresponds
with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the
change in value of the hedged investments.  In addition,  there is the risk that
the Fund may not be able to  enter  into a  closing  transaction  because  of an
illiquid secondary market.

FORWARD  FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in  forward  foreign
exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the
currency in which the  transaction is denominated or another  currency as deemed
appropriate by the Adviser. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the
forward  rate and are  marked-to-market  daily.  The  change in market  value is
included in  unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign
currency transactions.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the value of the  contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities,  but it does establish
a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although

                                        7

THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

forward  foreign  exchange  contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain/(loss) that
might result should the value of the currency  increase.  In addition,  the Fund
could be exposed to risks if the  counterparties  to the contracts are unable to
meet the terms of their contracts.

FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION.  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 the exchange rates prevailing at
the end of the period, and 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,  which  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  transactions.  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  trade date and
subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS  AND INVESTMENT  INCOME.  Securities  transactions  are
accounted  for on the  trade  date  with  realized  gain or loss on  investments
determined  by using the  identified  cost method.  Interest  income  (including
amortization  of premium  and  accretion  of  discount)  is  recorded as earned.
Premiums  and  discounts on debt  securities  are  amortized  using the yield to
maturity method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

DIVIDENDS AND  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  Dividends and  distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend  date. Income and long term capital
gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  Federal  income  tax
regulations which may differ from accounting  principles  generally  accepted in
the U.S. These  differences are primarily due to differing  treatments of income
and gains on various investment  securities held by the Fund, timing differences
and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund.

EXPENSES.  Certain  administrative  expenses are common to, and allocated among,
the Portfolios and then, among the Classes of Shares.  Such allocations are made
on the basis of each Portfolio's and Class' average net assets or other criteria
directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser.

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. As a result, a Federal income tax provision is not required.

Dividends and interest from non-U.S.  sources received by the Fund are generally
subject  to  non-U.S.  withholding  taxes  at  rates  ranging  up to  30%.  Such
withholding  taxes may be reduced or  eliminated  under the terms of  applicable
U.S. income tax treaties, and the Fund intends to undertake any procedural steps
required to claim the benefits of such  treaties.  If the value of more than 50%
of the Fund's total  assets at the close of any taxable year  consists of stocks
or securities of non-U.S.  corporations,  the Fund is permitted and may elect to
treat any non-U.S. taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund has a net capital loss  carryforward for Federal income tax purposes at
December 31, 2002 of $1,730,348.  This capital loss carryforward is available to
reduce future  distributions of net capital gains to  shareholders.  $724,273 of
loss  carryforward is available through 2009 and $1,006,075 is available through
2010.

3.  INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  AGREEMENT.  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,  at
the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. In
accordance  with the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Adviser  provides a  continuous
investment program for the Fund's portfolio,  oversees the administration of all
aspects of the Fund's  business  and  affairs and pays the  compensation  of all
Officers  and  Directors  of the Fund who are its  affiliates.  The  advisor has
agreed to reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the
annualized total operating  expenses of theFund  (exclusive of interest expense)
at 2.00% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months
ended June 30, 2003, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $9,159.

4.  DISTRIBUTION  PLAN. The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a distribution
plan (the "Plan")  pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. For the six months
ended June 30, 2003 the Fund  incurred  distribution  costs payable to Gabelli &
Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, of $18,770 and $10 for Class AAA and
Class A Shares,  respectively,  or 0.25% of average daily net assets, the annual
limitation  under the Plan.  Class B and  Class C Shares  incurred  distribution
costs of $153 and $79,  respectively,  or 1.00% of average daily net assets, the
annual  limitation  under this Plan.  Such  payments are accrued  daily and paid
monthly.

5.  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Purchases and sales of securities for the six months

shares.

7. LINE OF  CREDIT.  The Fund has  access to an  unsecured  line of credit up to
$25,000,000  from the  custodian for temporary  borrowing  purposes.  Borrowings
under this  arrangement  bear  interest at 0.75% above the Federal Funds rate on
outstanding balances.  There were no borrowings during the six months ended June
30, 2003.

8. CAPITAL STOCK  TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund offers four classes of shares -- Class
AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares. Class AAA Shares
are offered through selected dealers without a sales charge.  Class A Shares are
subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B Shares are subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) upon redemption within six years of
purchase.  The applicable CDSC is equal to a declining  percentage of the lesser
of the net asset value per share at the date of original purchase or at the date
of redemption, based on the length of time held. Class C Shares are subject to a
1% CDSC for two years after purchase.

The Fund imposes a redemption  fee of 2.00% on Class AAA and Class A Shares that
are redeemed within sixty days of purchase.  The redemption fee is deducted from
the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders.The redemption fees
returned  to the  assets of the Fund  during  the  period  ended  June 30,  2003

                         THE GABELLI GLOBAL GROWTH FUND

                               SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                  JUNE 30, 2003
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      We are  changing  the way we provide  portfolio  managers'  commentary  to
shareholders  of our Funds.  Our  shareholder  reports have typically  contained
commentary  on  each  portfolio  manager's   assessment  of  the  stock  market,
individual  stocks and how economic  events affect their  thinking in managing a
specific Fund. We have always provided  details about  performance and presented
returns,  both good and bad,  hopefully  in a clear and concise  fashion.  These
comments have been included as part of each Fund's quarterly,  semi-annual,  and
annual financial statements.

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's new corporate governance  regulations now require
a Fund's  principal  executive  and  financial  officers  to certify  the entire
contents of  shareholder  reports in a filing with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on form N-CSR.  This  certification  covers the  portfolio  manager's
commentary  and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached to or a part of the
financial statements.

      Rather than ask our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions and/or
restrict  their  commentary  to  historical  facts only,  we are removing  their
commentary from the financial statements and sending it to you separately.  As a
result,  this commentary will no longer be considered part of a Fund's financial
report and therefore will not be subject to the officers' certifications.

      We  trust  that  you  understand   that  our  approach  is  an  unintended
consequence of the  ever-increasing  regulatory  requirements  affecting  public
companies generally.  We hope the specific  certification  requirements of these
new  regulations  will be  modified  as  they  relate  to  mutual  funds,  since
investment  companies have different  corporate  structures and objectives  than
other public companies.

                                                    Sincerely yours,


                                                    /S/ BRUCE N. ALPERT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  ORGANIZATION.  The  Gabelli  Global  Growth Fund (the  "Fund"),  a series of
Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation"), was organized on July 16,
1993  as  a  Maryland  corporation.  The  Fund  is a  non-diversified,  open-end
management  investment  company  registered under the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  as  amended  (the  "1940  Act"),  and is one of four  separately  managed
portfolios  (collectively,  the  "Portfolios")  of the  Corporation.  The Fund's
primary  objective  is  capital  appreciation.  The  Fund  commenced  investment
operations on February 7, 1994.  Prior to January 13, 2000,  the Fund's name was
The Gabelli Global Interactive Couch Potato(R) Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the 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.

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 of Directors so determines, by such other method as the Board of Directors
shall

                                       7

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
foreign  markets are generally  valued at the preceding  closing  values of such
securities  on  their  respective  exchanges  or if,  after  the  close,  market
conditions change  significantly,  certain foreign securities may be fair valued
pursuant to procedures  established  by the Board of Directors.  Securities  and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under
the general  supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short term debt  securities
with  remaining  maturities  of 60 days or less are  valued at  amortized  cost,
unless the Board of Directors  determines  such does not reflect the securities'
fair value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors. Debt instruments having a maturity greater
than 60 days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the
latest average of the bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted
on such day,  the  security is valued  using the closing bid price.  Options are
valued at the last sale price on the  exchange on which they are  listed.  If no
sales of such options have taken place that day, they will be valued at the mean
between their closing bid and asked prices.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with
primary  government  securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board,
with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers
that meet credit guidelines established by the Adviser and reviewed by the Board
of Directors.  Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes
possession  of an  underlying  debt  obligation  subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase,  and the Fund to resell,  the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby  determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
The Fund will always receive and maintain  securities as collateral whose market
value, including accrued interest,  will be at least equal to 102% of the dollar
amount  invested by the Fund in each  agreement.  The Fund will make payment for
such  securities  only upon  physical  delivery  or upon  evidence of book entry
transfer of the collateral to the account of the  custodian.  To the extent that
any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral
is marked-to-market on a daily basis to maintain the adequacy of the collateral.
If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy
proceedings   are  commenced  with  respect  to  the  seller  of  the  security,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30,
2003, there were no repurchase agreements.

OPTIONS.  The Fund may  purchase or write call or put options on  securities  or
indices. As a writer of call options,  the Fund receives a premium at the outset
and then bears the risk of  unfavorable  changes  in the price of the  financial
instrument  underlying  the option.  The Fund would incur a loss if the price of
the underlying  financial  instrument  increases  between the date the option is
written and the date on which the option is terminated. The Fund would realize a
gain,  to the extent of the premium,  if the price of the  financial  instrument
decreases between those dates.

As a purchaser of put options,  the Fund pays a premium for the right to sell to
the seller of the put option the underlying  security at a specified  price. The
seller of the put has the  obligation to purchase the  underlying  security upon
exercise  at the  exercise  price.  If the  price  of  the  underlying  security
declines,  the Fund would realize a gain upon sale or exercise.  If the price of
the underlying security increases, the Fund would realize a loss upon sale or at
expiration date, but only to the extent of the premium paid.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in futures contracts for the purpose of
hedging  against  changes in the value of its  portfolio  securities  and in the
value of  securities  it  intends  to  purchase.  Upon  entering  into a futures
contract,  the Fund is required to deposit  with the broker an amount of cash or
cash equivalents equal to a certain  percentage of the contract amount.  This is
known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made
or  received by the Fund each day,  depending  on the daily  fluctuation  of the
value of the  contract.  The daily  changes  in the  contract  are  included  in
unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the
contract is closed. At June 30, 2003, there were no open futures contracts.

There are several  risks in  connection  with the use of futures  contracts as a
hedging device. The change in value of futures contracts  primarily  corresponds
with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the
change in value of the hedged investments.  In addition,  there is the risk that
the Fund may not be able to  enter  into a  closing  transaction  because  of an
illiquid secondary market.

SECURITIES  SOLD SHORT. A short sale involves  selling a security which the Fund
does not own. The proceeds  received for short sales are recorded as liabilities
and the Fund records an unrealized  gain or loss to the extent of the difference
between the proceeds  received  and the value of the open short  position on the
day of  determination.  The Fund records a realized  gain or loss when the short
position is closed out. By entering into a short sale, the Fund bears the market
risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security sold short. Dividends
on short sales are  recorded as an expense by the Fund on the  ex-dividend  date
and interest expense is recorded on the accrual basis.

FORWARD  FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in  forward  foreign
exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the
currency in which the  transaction is denominated or another  currency as deemed
appropriate by the Adviser. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the
forward  rate and are  marked-to-market  daily.  The  change in market  value is
included in  unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign
currency transactions.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the value of the  contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities,  but it does establish
a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although forward foreign
exchange  contracts  limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged  currency,  they also limit any potential  gain/(loss)  that might result
should  the value of the  currency  increase.  In  addition,  the Fund  could be
exposed to risks if the  counterparties  to the contracts are unable to meet the
terms of their contracts.

FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION.  The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in United States  (U.S.)  dollars.  Foreign  currencies,  investments  and other
assets and liabilities  are translated  into U.S.  dollars at the exchange rates
prevailing  at the end of the  period,  and  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, which
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  transactions.  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  trade date and
subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS  AND INVESTMENT  INCOME.  Securities  transactions  are
accounted  for on the  trade  date  with  realized  gain or loss on  investments
determined  by using the  identified  cost method.  Interest  income  (including
amortization  of premium  and  accretion  of  discount)  is  recorded as earned.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

DIVIDENDS AND  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  Dividends and  distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend  date. Income and long term capital
gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  Federal  income  tax
regulations which may differ from accounting  principles  generally  accepted in
the United States.  These differences are primarily due to differing  treatments
of income and gains on various  investment  securities held by the Fund,  timing
differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund.

EXPENSES.  Certain  administrative  expenses are common to, and allocated among,
the Portfolios and then, among the Classes  of Shares. Such allocations are made
on the basis of each Portfolio's and Class' average net assets or other criteria
directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser.

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. As a result, a Federal income tax provision is not required.

Dividends and interest from non-U.S.  sources received by the Fund are generally
subject  to  non-U.S.  withholding  taxes  at  rates  ranging  up to  30%.  Such
withholding  taxes may be reduced or  eliminated  under the terms of  applicable
U.S. income tax treaties, and the Fund intends to undertake any procedural steps
required to claim the benefits of such  treaties.  If the value of more than 50%
of the Fund's total  assets at the close of any taxable year  consists of stocks
or securities of non-U.S.  corporations,  the Fund is permitted and may elect to
treat any non-U.S. taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders.

The Fund has a net capital loss  carryforward for Federal income tax purposes at
December 31, 2002 of $88,789,161. This capital loss carryforward is available to
reduce future distributions of net capital gains to shareholders. $48,819,742 of
loss carryforward is available through 2009 and $39,969,419 is available through
2010.

3.  INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  AGREEMENT.  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,  at
the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. In
accordance  with the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Adviser  provides a  continuous
investment program for the Fund's portfolio,  oversees the administration of all
aspects of the Fund's  business  and  affairs and pays the  compensation  of all
Officers and Directors of the Fund who are its affiliates.

4.  DISTRIBUTION  PLAN. The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a distribution
plan (the "Plan") for each class of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act.  For the six months  ended June 30, 2003,  the Fund  incurred  distribution
costs  payable to Gabelli & Company,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of the  Adviser,  of
$133,973  and $435 for Class AAA and Class A Shares,  respectively,  or 0.25% of
average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation  under each Plan.  Class B and
Class C Shares incurred  distribution costs of $412 and $467,  respectively,  or
1.00% of average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation under each Plan. Such
payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

5.  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Purchases and sales of securities for the six months
ended June 30, 2003,  other than short term securities,  aggregated  $21,566,405
and $42,027,554, respectively.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the
Fund paid  brokerage  commissions  of $6,941 to Gabelli & Company,  Inc. and its
affiliates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003, Gabelli & Company,  Inc.
informed  the  Fund  that  it  received   $2,165  from  investors   representing
commissions (sales charges and underwriting fees) on sales of Fund shares.

The cost of  calculating  the Fund's net asset value per share is a Fund expense
pursuant to the Investment  Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser.
During the six months  ended June 30,  2003,  the Fund  reimbursed  the  Adviser
$17,400 in connection with the cost of computing the Fund's net asset value.

7. LINE OF  CREDIT.  The Fund has  access to an  unsecured  line of credit up to
$25,000,000  from the  custodian for temporary  borrowing  purposes.  Borrowings
under this  arrangement  bear  interest at 0.75% above the Federal Funds rate on
outstanding balances.  There were no borrowings during the six months ended June
30, 2003.

8. CAPITAL STOCK  TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund offers four classes of shares -- Class
AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares. Class AAA Shares
are offered through selected broker/dealers with no sales charge. Class A Shares
are subject to a maximum  front-end  sales  charge of 5.75%.  Class B Shares are
subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge (CDSC) upon redemption within six
years of purchase. The applicable CDSC is equal to a declining percentage of the
lesser of the net asset value per share at the date of  original  purchase or at
the date of  redemption,  based on the length of time  held.  Class C Shares are
subject to a 1% CDSC for two years after purchase.

The Fund imposes a redemption  fee of 2.00% on Class AAA and Class A Shares that
are redeemed within sixty days of  purchase.The  redemption fee is deducted from
the proceeds  otherwise  payable to the redeeming  shareholders.  The redemption
fees  returned  to the assets of the Fund during the period  ended June 30, 2003
amounted to $36,995.

                                                                   JUNE 30, 2003


                       THE GABELLI GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY FUND

                               SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                  JUNE 30, 2003
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      We are  changing  the way we provide  portfolio  managers'  commentary  to
shareholders  of our Funds.  Our  shareholder  reports have typically  contained
commentary  on  each  portfolio  manager's   assessment  of  the  stock  market,
individual  stocks and how economic  events affect their  thinking in managing a
specific Fund. We have always provided  details about  performance and presented
returns,  both good and bad,  hopefully  in a clear and concise  fashion.  These
comments have been included as part of each Fund's quarterly,  semi-annual,  and
annual financial statements.

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's new corporate governance  regulations now require
a Fund's  principal  executive  and  financial  officers  to certify  the entire
contents of  shareholder  reports in a filing with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on form N-CSR.  This  certification  covers the  portfolio  manager's
commentary  and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached to or a part of the
financial statements.

      Rather than ask our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions and/or
restrict  their  commentary  to  historical  facts only,  we are removing  their
commentary from the financial statements and sending it to you separately.  As a
result,  this commentary will no longer be considered part of a Fund's financial
report and therefore will not be subject to the officers' certifications.

      We  trust  that  you  understand   that  our  approach  is  an  unintended
consequence of the  ever-increasing  regulatory  requirements  affecting  public
companies generally.  We hope the specific  certification  requirements of these
new  regulations  will be  modified  as  they  relate  to  mutual  funds,  since
investment  companies have different  corporate  structures and objectives  than
other public companies.

                                                    Sincerely yours,


                                                    /S/ BRUCE N. ALPERT

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  ORGANIZATION.  The Gabelli Global Opportunity Fund (the "Fund"), a series of
Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation"), was organized on July 16,
1993  as  a  Maryland  corporation.  The  Fund  is a  non-diversified,  open-end
management  investment  company  registered under the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  as  amended  (the  "1940  Act"),  and is one of four  separately  managed
portfolios  (collectively,  the  "Portfolios")  of the  Corporation.  The Fund's
primary  objective  is  capital  appreciation.  The  Fund  commenced  investment
operations on May 11, 1998.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the 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.

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 of Directors so determines, by such other method as the Board of Directors
shall  determine

                                       5

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 foreign markets are
generally  valued at the preceding  closing  values of such  securities on their
respective   exchanges  or  if,  after  the  close,   market  conditions  change
significantly,  certain  foreign  securities  may be  fair  valued  pursuant  to
procedures  established  by the Board of  Directors.  Securities  and assets for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value
as  determined  in good  faith  under  procedures  established  by and under the
general  supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short term debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless the
Board of Directors  determines such does not reflect the securities' fair value,
in which case these  securities will be valued at their fair value as determined
by the Board of Directors.  Debt  instruments  having a maturity greater than 60
days for which market  quotations are readily available are valued at the latest
average of the bid and asked  prices.  If there were no asked  prices  quoted on
such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. Options are valued
at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are listed.  If no sales of
such options have taken place that day,  they will be valued at the mean between
their closing bid and asked prices.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with
primary  government  securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board,
with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers
that meet credit guidelines established by the Adviser and reviewed by the Board
of Directors.  Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes
possession  of an  underlying  debt  obligation  subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase,  and the Fund to resell,  the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby  determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
The Fund will always receive and maintain  securities as collateral whose market
value, including accrued interest,  will be at least equal to 102% of the dollar
amount  invested by the Fund in each  agreement.  The Fund will make payment for
such  securities  only upon  physical  delivery  or upon  evidence of book entry
transfer of the collateral to the account of the  custodian.  To the extent that
any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral
is marked-to-market on a daily basis to maintain the adequacy of the collateral.
If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy
proceedings   are  commenced  with  respect  to  the  seller  of  the  security,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30,
2003, there were no repurchase agreements.

FORWARD  FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in  forward  foreign
exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the
currency in which the  transaction is denominated or another  currency as deemed
appropriate by the Adviser. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the
forward  rate and are  marked-to-market  daily.  The  change in market  value is
included in  unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign
currency transactions.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the value of the  contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities,  but it does establish
a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although forward foreign
exchange  contracts  limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged  currency,  they also limit any potential  gain/(loss)  that might result
should  the value of the  currency  increase.  In  addition,  the Fund  could be
exposed to risks if the  counterparties  to the contracts are unable to meet the
terms of their contracts.

FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION.  The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in United States  (U.S.)  dollars.  Foreign  currencies,  investments  and other
assets and liabilities  are translated  into U.S.  dollars at the exchange rates
prevailing  at the end of the  period,  and  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, which
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  transactions.  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 trade date
and  subsequent  sale  trade  date  is  included  in  realized   gain/(loss)  on
investments.

SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS  AND INVESTMENT  INCOME.  Securities  transactions  are
accounted  for on the  trade  date  with  realized  gain or loss on  investments
determined  by using the  identified  cost method.  Interest  income  (including
amortization  of premium  and  accretion  of  discount)  is  recorded as earned.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

DIVIDENDS AND  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  Dividends and  distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend  date. Income and long term capital
gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  Federal  income  tax
regulations which may differ from accounting  principles  generally  accepted in
the United States.

EXPENSES.  Certain  administrative  expenses are common to, and allocated among,
the Portfolios and then, among the Classes of Shares.  Such allocations are made
on the basis of each Portfolio's and Class' average net assets or other criteria
directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser.

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. As a result, a Federal income tax provision is not required.

Dividends and interest from non-U.S.  sources received by the Fund are generally
subject  to  non-U.S.  withholding  taxes  at  rates  ranging  up to  30%.  Such
withholding  taxes may be reduced or  eliminated  under the terms of  applicable
U.S. income tax treaties, and the Fund intends to undertake any procedural steps
required to claim the benefits of such  treaties.  If the value of more than 50%
of the Fund's total  assets at the close of any taxable year  consists of stocks
or securities of non-U.S.  corporations,  the Fund is permitted and may elect to
treat any non-U.S. taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders.

The Fund has a net capital loss  carryforward for Federal income tax purposes at
December 31, 2002 of $5,039,597.  This capital loss carryforward is available to
reduce future distributions of net capital gains to shareholders.  $3,134,793 of
loss  carryforward is available through 2009 and $1,904,804 is available through
2010.

3.  INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  AGREEMENT.  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,  at
the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. In
accordance  with the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Adviser  provides a  continuous
investment program for the Fund's portfolio,

oversees the  administration  of all aspects of the Fund's  business and affairs
and pays the  compensation of all Officers and Directors of the Fund who are its
affiliates.  The  Adviser  has agreed to  reimburse  expenses of the Fund to the
extent necessary to maintain the annualized total operating expenses of the Fund
(exclusive  of  interest  expense)  at 1.50% of the value of the Fund's  average
daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Adviser reimbursed
the Fund in the  amount of  $57,644.  Beginning  January  1,  2002,  the Fund is
obliged to repay the  Adviser  for a period of two fiscal  years  following  the
fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed the Fund only to the extent that the
operating expenses of the Fund fall below 1.50% of average daily net assets. The
cumulative amount which the Fund may repay the Adviser is $295,363.

4.  DISTRIBUTION  PLAN. The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a distribution
plan (the "Plan") for each class of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act.  For the six months  ended June 30, 2003,  the Fund  incurred  distribution
costs  payable to Gabelli & Company,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of the  Adviser,  of
$17,111  and $38 for Class AAA and  Class A  Shares,  respectively,  or 0.25% of
average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation  under each Plan.  Class B and
Class C Shares incurred distribution costs of $45 and $1, respectively, or 1.00%
of average  daily net  assets,  the  annual  limitation  under  each Plan.  Such
payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

5. ORGANIZATIONAL  EXPENSES.  The organizational  expenses of the Fund are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 60 months.

6.  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Purchases and sales of securities for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, other than short term securities, aggregated $1,835,545 and
$2,901,124, respectively.

7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the
Fund paid  brokerage  commissions  of $196 to  Gabelli & Company,  Inc.  and its
affiliates.

8. LINE OF  CREDIT.  The Fund has  access to an  unsecured  line of credit up to
$25,000,000  from the  custodian for temporary  borrowing  purposes.  Borrowings
under this  arrangement  bear  interest at 0.75% above the Federal Funds rate on
outstanding balances. There were no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2003.

The average daily amount of borrowings  outstanding  within the six months ended
June 30, 2003 was $201,633  with a related  weighted  average  interest  rate of
2.03%.  The maximum amount borrowed at any time during the six months ended June
30, 2003 was $883,000.

9. CAPITAL STOCK  TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund offers four classes of shares -- Class
AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares. Class AAA Shares
are offered through selected broker/dealers with no sales charge. Class A Shares
are subject to a maximum  front-end  sales  charge of 5.75%.  Class B Shares are
subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge (CDSC) upon redemption within six
years of purchase. The applicable CDSC is equal to a declining percentage of the
lesser of the net asset value per share at the date of  original  purchase or at
the date of  redemption,  based on the length of time  held.  Class C Shares are
subject to a 1% CDSC for two years after purchase.

The Fund imposes a redemption  fee of 2.00% on Class AAA and Class A Shares that
are redeemed within sixty days of purchase.  The redemption fee is deducted from
the proceeds  otherwise  payable to the redeeming  shareholders.  The redemption
fees  returned to the assets of the Fund  during the period  ended June 30, 2003
amounted to $24,650.

                               SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                  JUNE 30, 2003



TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      We are  changing  the way we provide  portfolio  managers'  commentary  to
shareholders  of our Funds.  Our  shareholder  reports have typically  contained
commentary  on  each  portfolio  manager's   assessment  of  the  stock  market,
individual  stocks and how economic  events affect their  thinking in managing a
specific Fund. We have always provided  details about  performance and presented
returns,  both good and bad,  hopefully  in a clear and concise  fashion.  These
comments have been included as part of each Fund's quarterly,  semi-annual,  and
annual financial statements.

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's new corporate governance  regulations now require
a Fund's  principal  executive  and  financial  officers  to certify  the entire
contents of  shareholder  reports in a filing with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on form N-CSR.  This  certification  covers the  portfolio  manager's
commentary  and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached to or a part of the
financial statements.

      Rather than ask our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions and/or
restrict  their  commentary  to  historical  facts only,  we are removing  their
commentary from the financial statements and sending it to you separately.  As a
result,  this commentary will no longer be considered part of a Fund's financial
report and therefore will not be subject to the officers' certifications.

      We  trust  that  you  understand   that  our  approach  is  an  unintended
consequence of the  ever-increasing  regulatory  requirements  affecting  public
companies generally.  We hope the specific  certification  requirements of these
new  regulations  will be  modified  as  they  relate  to  mutual  funds,  since
investment  companies have different  corporate  structures and objectives  than
other public companies.

                                                     Sincerely yours,

THE GABELLI GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  ORGANIZATION.  The Gabelli Global  Telecommunications  Fund (the "Fund"),  a
series of Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc. (the  "Corporation"),  was organized
on July 16,  1993 as a  Maryland  corporation.  The  Fund is a  non-diversified,
open-end  management  investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is one of four separately  managed
portfolios  (collectively,  the  "Portfolios")  of the  Corporation.  The Fund's
primary  objective  is  capital  appreciation.  The  Fund  commenced  investment
operations on November 1, 1993.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the 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.

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 of Directors so determines, by such other method as the Board of Directors
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
foreign  markets are generally  valued at the preceding  closing  values of such
securities  on  their  respective  exchanges  or if,  after  the  close,  market
conditions change  significantly,  certain foreign securities may be fair valued
pursuant to procedures  established  by the Board of Directors.  Securities  and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under
the general  supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short term debt  securities
with  remaining  maturities  of 60 days or less are  valued at  amortized  cost,
unless the Board of Directors  determines  such does not reflect the securities'
fair value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors. Debt instruments having a maturity greater
than 60 days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the
latest average of the bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted
on such day,  the  security is valued  using the closing bid price.  Options are
valued at the last sale price on the  exchange on which they are  listed.  If no
sales of such options have taken place that day, they will be valued at the mean
between their closing bid and asked prices.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with
primary  government  securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board,
with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers
that meet credit guidelines established by the Adviser and reviewed by the Board
of Directors.  Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes
possession  of an  underlying  debt  obligation  subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase,  and the Fund to resell,  the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby  determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
The Fund will always receive and maintain  securities as collateral whose market
value, including accrued interest,

will be at least equal to 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Fund in each
agreement.  The Fund will make payment for such  securities  only upon  physical
delivery  or upon  evidence  of book entry  transfer  of the  collateral  to the
account of the custodian.  To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds
one business  day, the value of the  collateral is  marked-to-market  on a daily
basis to maintain the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the
value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with
respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund
may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2003 there were no repurchase agreements.

FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in futures contracts for the purpose of
hedging  against  changes in the value of its  portfolio  securities  and in the
value of  securities  it  intends  to  purchase.  Upon  entering  into a futures
contract,  the Fund is required to deposit  with the broker an amount of cash or
cash equivalents equal to a certain  percentage of the contract amount.  This is
known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made
or  received by the Fund each day,  depending  on the daily  fluctuation  of the
value of the  contract.  The daily  changes  in the  contract  are  included  in
unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the
contract is closed. At June 30, 2003, there were no open futures contracts.

There are several  risks in  connection  with the use of futures  contracts as a
hedging device. The change in value of futures contracts  primarily  corresponds
with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the
change in value of the hedged investments.  In addition,  there is the risk that
the Fund may not be able to  enter  into a  closing  transaction  because  of an
illiquid secondary market.

SECURITIES  SOLD SHORT. A short sale involves  selling a security which the Fund
does not own. The proceeds  received for short sales are recorded as liabilities
and the Fund records an unrealized  gain or loss to the extent of the difference
between the proceeds  received  and the value of the open short  position on the
day of  determination.  The Fund records a realized  gain or loss when the short
position is closed out. By entering into a short sale, the Fund bears the market
risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security sold short. Dividends
on short sales are  recorded as an expense by the Fund on the  ex-dividend  date
and interest expense is recorded on the accrual basis.

FORWARD  FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in  forward  foreign
exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the
currency in which the  transaction is denominated or another  currency as deemed
appropriate by the Adviser. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the
forward  rate and are  marked-to-market  daily.  The  change in market  value is
included in  unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign
currency transactions.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the value of the  contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities,  but it does establish
a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although forward foreign
exchange  contracts  limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged  currency,  they also limit any potential  gain/(loss)  that might result
should  the value of the  currency  increase.  In  addition,  the Fund  could be
exposed to risks if the  counterparties  to the contracts are unable to meet the
terms of their contracts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION.  The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in United States  (U.S.)  dollars.  Foreign  currencies,  investments  and other
assets and liabilities  are translated  into U.S.  dollars at the exchange rates
prevailing  at the end of the  period,  and  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, which
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  transactions.  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 trade date
and  subsequent  sale  trade  date  is  included  in  realized   gain/(loss)  on
investments.

SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS  AND INVESTMENT  INCOME.  Securities  transactions  are
accounted  for on the  trade  date  with  realized  gain or loss on  investments
determined  by using the  identified  cost method.  Interest  income  (including
amortization  of premium  and  accretion  of  discount)  is  recorded as earned.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

DIVIDENDS AND  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  Dividends and  distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend  date. Income and long term capital
gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  Federal  income  tax
regulations which may differ from accounting  principles  generally  accepted in
the United States.  These differences are primarily due to differing  treatments
of income and gains on various  investment  securities held by the Fund,  timing
differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund.

EXPENSES.  Certain  administrative  expenses are common to, and allocated among,
the Portfolios and then, among the Classes of Shares.  Such allocations are made
on the basis of each Portfolio's and Class' average net assets or other criteria
directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser.

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. As a result, a Federal income tax provision is not required.

Dividends and interest from non-U.S.  sources received by the Fund are generally
subject  to  non-U.S.  withholding  taxes  at  rates  ranging  up to  30%.  Such
withholding  taxes may be reduced or  eliminated  under the terms of  applicable
U.S. income tax treaties, and the Fund intends to undertake any procedural steps
required to claim the benefits of such  treaties.  If the value of more than 50%
of the Fund's total  assets at the close of any taxable year  consists of stocks
or securities of non-U.S.  corporations,  the Fund is permitted and may elect to
treat any non-U.S. taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders.

The Fund has a net capital loss  carryforward for Federal income tax purposes at
December 31, 2002 of $43,239,126. This capital loss carryforward is available to
reduce future distributions of net capital gains to shareholders. $12,970,427 of
the loss  carryforward  is available  through 2009 and  $30,268,699 is available
through 2010.

3.  INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  AGREEMENT.  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,  at
the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. In
accordance  with the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Adviser  provides a  continuous
investment program for the Fund's portfolio,  oversees the administration of all
aspects of the Fund's  business  and  affairs and pays the  compensation  of all
Officers and Directors of the Fund who are its affiliates.

4.  DISTRIBUTION  PLAN. The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a distribution
plan (the "Plan") for each class of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act.  For the six months  ended June 30, 2003,  the Fund  incurred  distribution
costs  payable to Gabelli & Company,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of the  Adviser,  of
$185,130  and $485 for Class AAA and Class A Shares,  respectively,  or 0.25% of
average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation  under each Plan.  Class B and
Class C Shares incurred distribution costs of $3,050 and $393, respectively,  or
1.00% of average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation under each Plan. Such
payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

5.  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Purchases and sales of securities for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, other than short term securities, aggregated $9,028,847 and
$12,176,617, respectively.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the
Fund paid brokerage  commissions  of $24,781 to Gabelli & Company,  Inc. and its
affiliates.

The cost of  calculating  the Fund's net asset value per share is a Fund expense
pursuant to the Investment  Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser.
During the six months  ended June 30,  2003,  the Fund  reimbursed  the  Adviser
$17,238 in connection with the cost of computing the Fund's net asset value.

7. LINE OF  CREDIT.  The Fund has  access to an  unsecured  line of credit up to
$25,000,000  from the  custodian for temporary  borrowing  purposes.  Borrowings
under this  arrangement  bear  interest at 0.75% above the Federal Funds rate on
outstanding balances. There were no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2003.

The average daily amount of borrowings within the six months ended June 30, 2003
was $714,028 with a related weighted average interest rate of 2.05%. The maximum
amount  borrowed  at any time  during  the six months  ended  June 30,  2003 was
$5,564,000.

8. CAPITAL STOCK  TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund offers four classes of shares -- Class
AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares. Class AAA Shares
are offered through selected broker/dealers with no sales charge. Class A Shares
are subject to a maximum  front-end  sales  charge of 5.75%.  Class B Shares are
subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge (CDSC) upon redemption within six
years of purchase. The applicable CDSC is equal to a declining percentage of the
lesser of the net asset value per share at the date of  original  purchase or at
the date of  redemption,  based on the length of time  held.  Class C Shares are
subject to a 1% CDSC for two years after purchase.

The Fund imposes a redemption  fee of 2.00% on shares that are  redeemed  within
sixty  days  of  purchase. The redemption  fee is  deducted  from  the  proceeds
otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders. The redemption fees returned to
the assets of the Fund  during  the  period  ended  June 30,  2003  amounted  to
$11,401.
