ITEM 1. REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS.

The Annual Report to Shareholders is attached herewith.

                 THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND

                                  ANNUAL REPORT
                                DECEMBER 31, 2003


TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,
      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a Fund's principal executive and financial
officers  to  certify  the  entire   contents  of  the  semi-annual  and  annual
shareholder  reports in a filing with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
Form N-CSR. This certification  would cover the portfolio  manager's  commentary
and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached  to or a part of the  financial
statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible
to certify.

      Because we do not want our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions
and/or  restrict their  commentary to historical  facts, we have separated their
commentary from the financial  statements and investment portfolio and have sent
it to  you  separately.  Both  the  commentary  and  the  financial  statements,
including  the  portfolio  of  investments,  will be available on our website at
www.gabelli.com/funds.

      Enclosed are the audited financial statements and the investment portfolio
as of December  31, 2003 with a  description  of the factors  that  affected the
performance during the past year.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
      During the fourth quarter, the Gabelli Global Convertible  Securities Fund
(the  "Fund")  generated  a total rate of return of 5.11%,  which  includes  its
regular monthly  distributions of ten cents per share. For 2003, the Fund was up
21.48%.  This compares to the Merrill Lynch Global 300 Convertible  Index, which
gained  7.52%  in the  quarter  and  21.20%  for the  year.  In  2003,  the Fund
outperformed  its  benchmark  and  participated  in 70% of the  rally in  global
equities,  which is in keeping with the hybrid nature of the  convertible  asset
class.

      Global  equity  markets,   as  measured  by  the  Morgan  Stanley  Capital
International  ("MSCI") World Free Index,  rose 13.92% in the quarter and 30.81%
for the year.  Global bond markets,  as measured by the AA1-rated  Merrill Lynch
Global Bond Index,  rose 3.72% in the quarter and 11.71% since the  beginning of
the year.  Speculative  grade bonds,  as measured by the B1-rated  Merrill Lynch
Global High Yield Index,  which gained 6.64% during the quarter,  were up 30.72%
for the year. The strong performance of high yield debt was achieved despite the
general increase in interest rates as credit spreads continued to tighten.

      The portfolio consists of approximately 53 investments, excluding cash and
common stock. No single position represents more than 5% of the portfolio or any
one sector more than 25%.  The main  sector  weightings  include  Communications
(i.e.  Telecom  and Media) at 24%,  Consumer  Non-cyclicals  (18%) and  Consumer
Cyclicals (17%).  Geographic  allocations during the quarter remained relatively
unchanged  with a slight  decline in Europe (26% to 22%), to the benefit of Asia
(18% to 20%), as North America was stable (52%).  These  adjustments  caused our
investment  in  convertible   bonds  to  fall  from  71%  of  the  portfolio  to
approximately  69% while our holdings in convertible  preferred  stock rose from
29% to 31%.  About  47% of these  convertibles  offer a  balanced  total  return
profile  with  35%  being  more  bond-like  and  18%  more   equity-like.   This
distribution changed from 55%, 14% and 29%, respectively, over the period.

      During the fourth quarter,  we took profits in  high-yielder  Infogrammes,
the French  interactive  entertainment  software  maker,  which tendered for its
convertibles in an exchange offer after completing a  re-capitalization  through
its Atari  subsidiary.  Although more limited after last year's  dramatic credit
spread  tightening,  we continue to see  selective  opportunities  in the busted
convertible area. New investments in balanced convertibles included Suzuki Motor
and Asia Optical.  Our Nextel 4.75% 2007  convertibles  were called and replaced
with the 6%'s of 2011.
                                             Sincerely yours,
                                             /s/ BRUCE N. ALPERT

 (a) Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment returns and
     the principal  value of an  investment  will  fluctuate.  Total returns and
     average annual returns reflect  changes in share price and  reinvestment of
     dividends and are net of expenses.  When shares are  redeemed,  they may be
     worth more or less than their  original  cost.  The UBS  (formerly  Warburg
     Dillon Reed) Global  Convertible Index, the Merrill Lynch Global Bond Index
     and the Morgan Stanley Capital  International (MSCI) All Country (AC) World
     Free Index are unmanaged indicators of investment performance.  Performance
     for periods less than one year is not annualized. The Class AAA Shares' net
     asset values are used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the
     issuance  of Class A  Shares,  Class B Shares  and Class C Shares on May 2,
     2001,  March 28,  2001 and  November  26,  2001,  respectively.  The actual
     performance for the Class B Shares and Class C Shares would have been lower
     due to the additional expenses associated with these classes of shares.
 (b) From commencement of investment operations on February 3, 1994.
 (c) Includes the effect of the maximum  5.75% sales charge at the  beginning of
     the period.
 (d) Includes the effect of the applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge at
     the end of the period shown for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.
  Note: Investing in foreign securities involves risks not ordinarily associated
  with investments in domestic issues, including currency fluctuation,  economic
  and political risks.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
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 December 31, 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 year ended
December 31, 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 December 31, 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 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.

For the year ended  December 31, 2003,  reclassifications  were made to decrease
accumulated net investment  loss for $2,664,489 and to increase  accumulated net
realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions for $95,601, with
an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

The tax characters of  distributions  paid during the Fiscal year ended December
31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:

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. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the
InternalRevenue  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.

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.

As of December 31, 2003, the components of  accumulated  earnings/(losses)  on a
tax basis were as follows:

   Accumulated capital loss carryforward ..................  $(1,600,488)
   Net unrealized appreciation ............................    1,973,801
   Net unrealized appreciation on foreign
    receivables and payables ..............................        7,435

9. CHANGE IN FUND'S AUDITOR.  On November 19, 2003, based on the  recommendation
of the Audit  Committee  of the Fund,  the Board of  Directors  voted to appoint
Ernst & Young LLP as the Fund's  independent auditor for the current fiscal year
ending December 31, 2003,  replacing  Grant Thornton LLP ("GT").  During the two
most recent  fiscal  years,  GT audit reports  contained  no adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of  opinion;  nor were  the  reports  qualified  or  modified  as to
uncertainty,  audit scope,  or  accounting  principles.  Further,  there were no
disagreements  between  the  Fund  and  GT on accounting  principles,  financial
statement  disclosure or audit scope,  which if not resolved to the satisfaction
of GT would have caused it to make reference to the  disagreements in connection
with its report.

10. OTHER MATTERS.  On October 7, 2003,  the Fund's Adviser  received a subpoena
from the Attorney  General of the State of New York  requesting  information  on
mutual fund  shares  trading  practices.  The  Adviser is fully  cooperating  in
responding to the request.  The Fund does not believe that this matter will have
a material  adverse  effect on the Fund's  financial  position or results of the
operations.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Gabelli Global Convertible Securities Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the portfolio of investments,  of The Gabelli Global Convertible Securities Fund
(the "Fund"),  a series of Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc., as of December 31,
2003, and the related  statement of operations,  the statement of changes in net
assets,  and  financial  highlights  for the year then  ended.  These  financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  are  the  responsibility  of the  Fund's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  based on our audits.  The  statement  of
changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended  December  31, 2002 and the
financial  highlights  for each of the four years in the period  then ended were
audited by other  auditors  whose  report dated  January 31, 2003,  expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements  and financial  highlights.  Our  procedures  included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with
the  Fund's  custodian  and  brokers.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of The
Gabelli Global Convertible  Securities Fund at December 31, 2003, the results of
its operations,  the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for
the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

                   2003 TAX NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited)

  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid to  shareholders an
  ordinary income dividend  (comprised of net investment income) totaling $0.11,
  $0.11,  $0.07 and $0.07 per share for Class AAA, Class A, Class B and Class C,
  respectively.  For the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2003,  84.15% of the
  ordinary  income  dividend  qualifies  for  the  dividend  received  deduction
  available to corporations,  and 86.3% of the ordinary income  distribution was
  qualifying  dividend income.  Additionally,  91% of the distributions  paid in
  2003 were a nontaxable return of capital for Class AAA and Class A Shares (95%
  for Class B and Class C Shares)  which should be deducted  from the cost basis
  of the securities held as of the payment date.

  U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME
  The percentage of the ordinary  income dividend paid by the Fund during fiscal
  year 2003 which was derived  from U.S.  Treasury  securities  was 3.43%.  Such
  income is exempt from state and local tax in all states. However, many states,
  including New York and California,  allow a tax exemption for a portion of the
  income earned only if a mutual fund has invested at least 50% of its assets at
  the  end of  each  quarter  of the  Fund's  fiscal  year  in  U.S.  Government
  securities.  The Gabelli Global Convertible  Securities Fund did not meet this
  strict  requirement  in 2003. Due to the diversity in state and local tax law,
  it is  recommended  that you  consult  your  personal  tax  advisor  as to the
  applicability of the information provided to your specific situation.

                                  ANNUAL REPORT
                                DECEMBER 31, 2003



TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a Fund's principal executive and financial
officers  to  certify  the  entire   contents  of  the  semi-annual  and  annual
shareholder  reports in a filing with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
Form N-CSR. This certification  would cover the portfolio  manager's  commentary
and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached  to or a part of the  financial
statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible
to certify.

      Because we do not want our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions
and/or  restrict their  commentary to historical  facts, we have separated their
commentary from the financial  statements and investment portfolio and have sent
it to  you  separately.  Both  the  commentary  and  the  financial  statements,
including  the  portfolio  of  investments,  will be available on our website at
www.gabelli.com/funds.

      Enclosed are the audited financial statements and the investment portfolio
as of December  31, 2003 with a  description  of the factors  that  affected the
performance during the past year.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

      The Gabelli  Global  Growth Fund's (the "Fund") net asset value rose 41.4%
during 2003.  This compares with a rise of 34.6% for the Morgan Stanley  Capital
International  ("MSCI") All Country  ("AC") World Free Index and a gain of 32.1%
for the average global fund monitored by Lipper Inc. For the fourth quarter, the
Fund's net asset  value rose 11.3%  compared  with a rise of 14.5% and 13.5% for
the MSCI AC World Free Index and Lipper Global Fund Average, respectively.

      A combination of low interest  rates,  excellent  corporate  earnings and,
thankfully, a lack of any major terrorist attack enticed investors back into the
equity markets.  Of course,  two consecutive  quarters of positive  returns gave
investors some added confidence that the bear has gone into hibernation. Returns
to dollar-based  investors were assisted by the weakness of the dollar.  For the
year, the dollar declined by about 22% vis-a-vis the euro and by about half that
amount against the yen.

      During 2003,  wireless  communication  investments such as Rural Cellular,
Western  Wireless  and  Rogers  Wireless  were  a few of  our  best  performers.
Norwegian  telecommunications operator Telenor and Dublin-based Anglo-Irish Bank
were  also at the top of our  year-end  leaderboard.  On the  other  side of the
ledger,  Japanese consumer  electronics stocks Sony and Nintendo declined during
2003. The Fund's  gold-mining  stocks  provided mixed results with Eldorado Ltd.
and Freeport  McMoRan  posting  gains while  Harmony Gold and Meridian  declined
during 2003.

                                Sincerely yours,


                               /s/Bruce N. Alpert

  (a) Returns  represent past  performance  and do not guarantee future results.
      Total returns and average  annual returns  reflect  changes in share price
      and reinvestment of dividends and are net of expenses.  Investment returns
      and the principal value of an investment  will fluctuate.  When shares are
      redeemed,  they may be worth more or less than their  original  cost.  The
      Morgan Stanley  Capital  International  (MSCI) All Country (AC) World Free
      Index is an unmanaged  indicator of stock  market  performance,  while the
      Lipper Average reflects the average performance of mutual funds classified
      in this particular category. Performance for periods less than one year is
      not  annualized.  The  Class AAA  Shares'  net  asset  values  are used to
      calculate  performance  for the periods  prior to the  issuance of Class A
      Shares,  Class B Shares and Class C Shares on March 2,  2000,  May 5, 2000
      and March 12, 2000,  respectively.  The actual performance for the Class B
      Shares  and Class C Shares  would  have been  lower due to the  additional
      expenses associated with these Classes of shares.
  (b) From commencement of investment operations on February 7, 1994.
  (c) Includes the effect of the maximum 5.75% sales charge at the  beginning of
      the period.
  (d) Includes the effect of the applicable contingent  deferred sales charge at
      the end of the period shown for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.
  Note: Investing in foreign securities involves risks not ordinarily associated
  with investments in domestic issues, including currency fluctuation,  economic
  and political risks.

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 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 accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
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 December
31, 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. At December 31, 2003,  there were no open option
contracts.

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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 December 31, 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 net 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.

For the year ended  December 31, 2003,  reclassifications  were made to decrease
accumulated  net investment  loss for $530,580 and to decrease  accumulated  net
realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions for $85,013, with
an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

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. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal  Revenue 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.

As of December 31, 2003, the components of  accumulated  earnings/(losses)  on a
tax basis were as follows:

     Accumulated capital loss carryforward ..................   $(90,068,929)
     Net unrealized appreciation on investments .............     20,029,840
     Net unrealized depreciation on securities sold short ...        (65,021)

     Total accumulated loss .................................   $(70,092,495)

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.

payable to Gabelli & Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, of $293,397 and
$768 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 $1,372 and  $1,145,  respectively,  or 1.00% of
average daily net assets,  the annual  limitation under each Plan. Such payments
are accrued daily and paid monthly.

pursuant to the Investment  Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser.
During fiscal 2003, the Fund  reimbursed the Adviser  $34,800 in connection with
the  cost of  computing  the  Fund's  net  asset  value,  which is  included  in

9. CHANGE IN FUND'S AUDITOR.  On November 19, 2003, based on the  recommendation
of the Audit  Committee  of the Fund,  the Board of  Directors  voted to appoint
Ernst & Young LLP as the Fund's  independent auditor for the current fiscal year
ending December 31, 2003,  replacing  Grant Thornton LLP ("GT").  During the two
most recent  fiscal  years,  GT audit  reports contained  no adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of  opinion;  nor were  the  reports  qualified  or  modified  as to
uncertainty,  audit scope,  or  accounting  principles.  Further,  there were no
disagreements  between  the  Fund  and  GT on  accounting  principles, financial
statement  disclosure or audit scope,  which if not resolved to the satisfaction
of GT would have caused it to make reference to the  disagreements in connection
with its report.

10. OTHER MATTERS.  On October 7, 2003,  the Fund's Adviser  received a subpoena
from the Attorney  General of the State of New York  requesting  information  on
mutual fund  shares  trading  practices.  The  Adviser is fully  cooperating  in
responding to the request.  The Fund does not believe that this matter will have
a material  adverse  effect on the Fund's  financial  position or results of the
operations.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL GROWTH FUND
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Gabelli Global Growth Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the portfolio of investments,  of The Gabelli Global Growth Fund (the "Fund"), a
series of Gabelli  Global Series Funds,  Inc., as of December 31, 2003,  and the
related  statement of  operations,  the statement of changes in net assets,  and
financial  highlights for the year then ended.  These  financial  statements and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the  Fund's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets
of the Fund for the year ended  December 31, 2002 and the  financial  highlights
for each of the four  years in the  period  then  ended  were  audited  by other
auditors whose report dated January 31, 2003,  expressed an unqualified  opinion
on those financial statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements  and financial  highlights.  Our  procedures  included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with
the Fund's custodian and brokers,  or by other auditing procedures where replies
from brokers were not received.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of The
Gabelli Global Growth Fund at December 31, 2003, the results of its  operations,
the changes in its net assets,  and the financial  highlights  for the year then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

                                                               DECEMBER 31, 2003

                       THE GABELLI GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY FUND

                                  ANNUAL REPORT
                                DECEMBER 31, 2003

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a Fund's principal executive and financial
officers  to  certify  the  entire   contents  of  the  semi-annual  and  annual
shareholder  reports in a filing with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
Form N-CSR. This certification  would cover the portfolio  manager's  commentary
and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached  to or a part of the  financial
statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible
to certify.

      Because we do not want our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions
and/or  restrict their  commentary to historical  facts, we have separated their
commentary from the financial  statements and investment portfolio and have sent
it to  you  separately.  Both  the  commentary  and  the  financial  statements,
including  the  portfolio  of  investments,  will be available on our website at
www.gabelli.com/funds.

      Enclosed are the audited financial statements and the investment portfolio
as of December  31, 2003 with a  description  of the factors  that  affected the
performance during the past year.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

      The Gabelli  Global  Opportunity  Fund's (the "Fund") net asset value rose
13.5%  during the fourth  quarter.  This  compares  with a rise of 14.5% for the
Morgan  Stanley  Capital  International  ("MSCI") All Country  ("AC") World Free
Index and a gain of 13.5% for the average  global fund  monitored by Lipper Inc.
For 2003,  the Fund's net asset value rose 37.4%  compared  with a rise of 34.6%
and 32.1% for the MSCI AC World  Free  Index and  Lipper  Global  Fund  Average,
respectively.

      A combination of low interest  rates,  excellent  corporate  earnings and,
thankfully, a lack of any major terrorist attack enticed investors back into the
equity markets.  Of course,  two consecutive  quarters of positive  returns gave
investors  some  added  confidence  that the bear  has  gone  into  hibernation.
Adjusted for movements in the dollar, Germany, one of the hardest hit markets in
the downtown,  rose 30.8%, the United Kingdom rose 18.1% and Japan's Topix Index
appreciated  by 6.9%.  Returns to  dollar-based  investors  were assisted by the
weakness  of the  dollar.  For the  quarter,  this added  about 4.5% to Japanese
investments  and about  double that for  investments  in the Euro Zone.  For the
year, the dollar declined by about 22% vis-a-vis the euro and by about half that
amount against the yen.

      During  2003,  the Fund's  best  performers  were  companies  that tend to
benefit from faster  economic  growth.  These include Invik  (+174.1%),  Vivendi
Universal  (+51.1%)  and the Italian  broadcaster  Mediaset  (+29.8%).  Consumer
products  manufacturers Marzotto and Christian Dior also rose sharply during the
year.  Several of the Fund's Japanese holdings  performed poorly during the year
including Kikkoman,  Nintendo and Shiseido.  Aerospace giant Lockheed Martin and
gold mining company  Harmony Gold faltered in 2003 after enjoying large gains in
previous years.

                                                           Sincerely yours,

                                                           /s/ Bruce N. Alpert

 (a) Returns  represent past  performance  and do not guarantee  future results.
     Total returns and average annual returns reflect changes in share price and
     reinvestment of dividends and are net of expenses.  Investment  returns and
     the  principal  value of an  investment  will  fluctuate.  When  shares are
     redeemed,  they may be worth more or less than  their  original  cost.  The
     Morgan  Stanley  Capital  International  (MSCI) All Country (AC) World Free
     Index is an  unmanaged  indicator of stock  market  performance,  while the
     Lipper Average reflects the average  performance of mutual funds classified
     in this particular category.  Performance for periods less than one year is
     not  annualized.  Had the Adviser not reimbursed  expenses of the Fund from
     1999 to 2003,  returns  would have been  lower.  The Class AAA  Shares' net
     asset values are used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the
     issuance of Class A Shares,  Class B Shares and Class C Shares on March 12,
     2000,  August 16, 2000 and  November  23,  2001,  respectively.  The actual
     performance for the Class B Shares and Class C Shares would have been lower
     due to the  additional  expenses  associated  with these Classes of shares.
     Investing in foreign  securities  involves risks not ordinarily  associated
     with  investments  in  domestic  issues,  including  currency  fluctuation,
     economic and political risks. Returns would have been lower had the Adviser
     not reimbursed certain expenses of the Fund.
 (b) From commencement of investment operations on May 11, 1998.
 (c) Includes the effect of the maximum  5.75% sales charge at the  beginning of
     the period.
 (d) Includes the effect of the applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge at
     the end of the period shown for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.
  Note: Investing in foreign securities involves risks not ordinarily associated
  with investments in domestic issues, including currency fluctuation,  economic
  and political risks.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
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

                                       6

THE GABELLI GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 December
31, 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.

For the year ended  December 31, 2003,  reclassifications  were made to decrease
accumulated  net  investment  loss for $5,221 and to  increase  accumulated  net
realized loss on investments and foreign currency  transactions for $1,984, with
an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

The tax character of  distributions  paid during the fiscal year ended  December
31, 2003 was $12,140 of ordinary income. No distributions were made in 2002.

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. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the

10. CHANGE IN FUND'S AUDITOR.  On November 19, 2003, based on the recommendation
of the Audit  Committee  of the Fund,  the Board of  Directors  voted to appoint
Ernst & Young LLP as the Fund's independent  auditor for the current fiscal year
ending December 31, 2003,  replacing  Grant Thornton LLP ("GT").  During the two
most recent  fiscal  years,  GT audit  reports  contained no adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of  opinion;  nor were  the  reports  qualified  or  modified  as to
uncertainty,  audit scope,  or  accounting  principles.  Further,  there were no
disagreements  between  the  Fund  and GT on  accounting  principles,  financial
statement  disclosure or audit scope,  which if not resolved to the satisfaction
of GT would have caused it to make reference to the  disagreements in connection
with its report.

11. OTHER MATTERS.  On October 7, 2003,  the Fund's Adviser  received a subpoena
from the Attorney  General of the State of New York  requesting  information  on
mutual fund  shares  trading  practices.  The  Adviser is fully  cooperating  in
responding to the request.  The Fund does not believe that this matter will have
a material  adverse  effect on the Fund's  financial  position or results of the
operations.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY FUND
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Gabelli Global Opportunity Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  portfolio  of  investments,  of The Gabelli  Global  Opportunity  Fund (the
"Fund"), a series of Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc., as of December 31, 2003,
and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets,
and financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the  Fund's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets
of the Fund for the year ended  December 31, 2002 and the  financial  highlights
for each of the four  years in the  period  then  ended  were  audited  by other
auditors whose report dated January 31, 2003,  expressed an unqualified  opinion
on those financial statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements  and financial  highlights.  Our  procedures  included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with
the  Fund's  custodian  and  brokers.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of The
Gabelli  Global  Opportunity  Fund at  December  31,  2003,  the  results of its
operations,  the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in
the United States.

                   2003 TAX NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited)

  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid to shareholders, on
  December 27, 2003, an ordinary  income  dividend  (comprised of net investment
  income)  totaling  $0.0076  and  $0.0149  per share for Class AAA and Class A,
  respectively.  For the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2003,  100% of the
  distribution  qualifies  for the  dividend  received  deduction  available  to
  corporations,  and 100% of the ordinary  income  distribution  was  qualifying
  dividend income.

  U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME:
  The percentage of the ordinary  income dividend paid by the Fund during fiscal
  year 2003 which was derived  from U.S.  Treasury  securities  was 2.51%.  Such
  income is exempt from state and local tax in all states. However, many states,
  including New York and California,  allow a tax exemption for a portion of the
  income earned only if a mutual fund has invested at least 50% of its assets at
  the  end of  each  quarter  of the  Fund's  fiscal  year  in  U.S.  Government
  securities.  The  Gabelli  Global  Opportunity  Fund did not meet this  strict
  requirement  in 2003.  Due to the  diversity in state and local tax law, it is
  recommended that you consult your personal tax advisor as to the applicability
  of the information provided to your specific situation.

                   THE GABELLI GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND

                                  ANNUAL REPORT
                                DECEMBER 31, 2003



TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

      The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a Fund's principal executive and financial
officers  to  certify  the  entire   contents  of  the  semi-annual  and  annual
shareholder  reports in a filing with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
Form N-CSR. This certification  would cover the portfolio  manager's  commentary
and  subjective  opinions  if they are  attached  to or a part of the  financial
statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible
to certify.

      Because we do not want our portfolio  managers to eliminate their opinions
and/or  restrict their  commentary to historical  facts, we have separated their
commentary from the financial  statements and investment portfolio and have sent
it to  you  separately.  Both  the  commentary  and  the  financial  statements,
including  the  portfolio  of  investments,  will be available on our website at
www.gabelli.com/funds.

      Enclosed are the audited financial statements and the investment portfolio
as of December  31, 2003 with a  description  of the factors  that  affected the
performance during the past year.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

      After three years of  disappointing  absolute  and  relative  performance,
global    telecommunications    stocks    excelled   in   2003.    Beaten   down
telecommunications  equipment manufacturers,  wireless communications companies,
and emerging market telcos were among the best performers.  Buoyed by the strong
showing  of  our  portfolio  holdings  in  these  sectors,  the  Gabelli  Global
Telecommunications Fund gained 42.7% during 2003.

      Some of the most beaten down  sectors of the  telecommunications  industry
performed  exceptionally well during 2003. Telecom equipment  manufacturers such
as Nortel Networks and Lucent  Technologies,  which had been given up for dead a
year ago, more than doubled this year. Wireless  communications  companies large
and small,  including Nextel  Communications,  Canada's Rogers  Wireless,  Rural
Cellular,  and Western  Wireless also qualified as comeback players of the year.
The first page of our  leaderboard  read like a tour of emerging market nations,
with Telecom Argentina,  Philippine Long Distance,  Thai Telephone & Television,
and Tele Norte Leste providing the most generous returns.  In general,  with the
exception  of  wireless  communications  stocks,   domestic   telecommunications
companies  underperformed.  Sprint and BellSouth  managed only modest gains, and
SBC  Communications,  Verizon  Communications,  and AT&T declined.  The superior
performance of emerging  market telecom  companies  reflects  stronger growth in
their  less  developed  markets,  less  competition,  and in  many  cases,  less
restrictive regulation.

                                                           Sincerely yours,


                                                           /s/ Bruce N. Alpert

(a)  Returns  represent past  performance  and do not guarantee  future results.
     Total returns and average annual returns reflect changes in share price and
     reinvestment of dividends and are net of expenses.  Investment  returns and
     the  principal  value of an  investment  will  fluctuate.  When  shares are
     redeemed,  they may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Dow
     Jones  Industrial  Average  is an  unmanaged  index of 30 large  industrial
     stocks.  The S&P 500 Index and the  Nasdaq  Composite  Index are  unmanaged
     indicators of stock market performance. Dividends are considered reinvested
     (except for the Nasdaq Composite Index).  Performance for periods less than
     one year is not annualized. The Class A Shares' net  asset values are  used
     to calculate performance for the periods  prior to the  issuance of Class B
     Shares and Class C Shares on March 15, 2000. The actual performance for the
     Class B  Shares  and  Class C  Shares  would  have  been  lower  due to the
     additional expenses associated with these classes of shares.
(b)  From commencement of investment operations on September 29, 1989.
(c)  Includes the effect of the maximum  5.5% sales  charge at the  beginning of
     the period.
(d)  Includes the effect of the applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge at
     the end of the period shown for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.
 Note: Investing in foreign securities  involves risks not ordinarily associated
 with investments  in domestic issues, including currency fluctuation,  economic
 and political risks.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
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 December
31, 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 December 31, 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.  At December 31, 2003,
there were no open short sales.

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.

CONCENTRATION  RISK.  The Fund may  invest a high  percentage  of its  assets in
specific  sectors  of the  market  in order to  achieve  a  potentially  greater
investment  return.  As a result,  the Fund may be more susceptible to economic,
political,  and regulatory  developments  in a particular  sector of the market,
positive or negative,  and may experience increased volatility on the Fund's net
asset value and magnified effect on the total return.

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.

For the year ended  December 31, 2003,  reclassifications  were made to increase
accumulated  net investment  loss for $540,921 and to decrease  accumulated  net
realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions for $82,360, with
an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

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. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal  Revenue 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.

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.

As of December 31, 2003, the components of  accumulated  earnings/(losses)  on a
tax basis were as follows:

              Accumulated capital loss carryforward ........  $(55,149,265)

7. LINE OF  CREDIT.  The Fund has  access to an  unsecured  line of credit up to

9. CHANGE IN FUND'S AUDITOR.  On November 19, 2003, based on the  recommendation
of the Audit  Committee  of the Fund,  the Board of  Directors  voted to appoint
Ernst & Young LLP as the Fund's  independent auditor for the current fiscal year
ending December 31, 2003,  replacing  Grant Thornton LLP ("GT").  During the two
most recent  fiscal  years, GT audit  reports  contained  no adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of  opinion;  nor were  the  reports  qualified  or  modified  as to
uncertainty,  audit scope,  or  accounting  principles.  Further,  there were no
disagreements  between  the  Fund  and GT on  accounting  principles,  financial
statement  disclosure or audit scope,  which if not resolved to the satisfaction
of GT would have caused it to make reference to the  disagreements in connection
with its report.

10. OTHER MATTERS.  On October 7, 2003,  the Fund's Adviser  received a subpoena
from the Attorney  General of the State of New York  requesting  information  on
mutual fund  shares  trading  practices.  The  Adviser is fully  cooperating  in
responding to the request.  The Fund does not believe that this matter will have
a material  adverse  effect on the Fund's  financial  position or results of the
operations.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Gabelli Global Telecommunications Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the portfolio of investments, of The Gabelli Global Telecommunications Fund (the
"Fund"), a series of Gabelli Global Series Funds, Inc., as of December 31, 2003,
and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets,
and financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the  Fund's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets
of the Fund for the year ended  December 31, 2002 and the  financial  highlights
for each of the four  years in the  period  then  ended  were  audited  by other
auditors whose report dated January 31, 2003,  expressed an unqualified  opinion
on those financial statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements  and financial  highlights.  Our  procedures  included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with
the  Fund's  custodian  and  brokers.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of The
Gabelli Global  Telecommunications Fund at December 31, 2003, the results of its
operations,  the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in
the United States.

              ("Committee") of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving
              (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by
              the independent auditors to the registrant and (ii) all
              permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent
              auditors to Gabelli and any affiliate of Gabelli that provides
              services to the registrant (a "Covered Services Provider") if the
              independent auditors' engagement relates directly to the
              operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The
              Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such
              audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the
              Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at

              Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and
              procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with
              applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the
              Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other
              than Gabelli or the registrant's officers). Pre-approval by the
              Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so
              long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible
              non-audit services provided to the registrant, Gabelli and any
              Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the
              total amount of revenues paid by the registrant to its independent
              auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit
              services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services
              were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the
              engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are
              promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by

         that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule
         2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
         accountant's independence.
