EQUITY FUND
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the Equity Fund's Class
AAA Shares posted a return of 18.08% versus a 16.41% for the average Large-Cap
Value fund tracked by Lipper Inc. The Fund ranked in the top quartile of this
Lipper fund peer group. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index returned 13.86%
during the past twelve months, trailing the Fund by approximately 4%.
After an 8.3% third quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reading and
accelerated growth in corporate earnings, large cap equities concluded the 2003
calendar year with exceptional performance. Subsequently, however, uncertainty
has concerned investors with an early identification of the policy differences
of the Presidential nominees, a continuation of violence in Iraq, and three
consecutive 25 basis point increases in the Fed Funds rate. Combining these
factors with sharp energy price increases, rational investors began to factor
into equity prices a slower growth rate in both GDP and corporate profits. From
mid-March through September, the return of the S&P 500 Index was nearly zero
while the Fund returned over 4%. The S&P 500 Index declined 1.87% in the final
three months of the period as the Fund increased slightly below 1%.
Several factors contributing to the strong performance of the Fund during
the fiscal year and to its outperformance of the S&P 500 Index were:
o An overweight position in top performing Energy stocks such as
integrated oil companies ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon Mobil
as well as independent exploration & production companies Apache and
Burlington Resources.
o An underweight position in Health Care and Consumer Discretionary
sectors.
o Stock selection in Technology (Apple in particular).
o Exposure to the strength in metal prices spurred by Chinese demand in
the past year (Alcoa).
Stock selection in the Health Care, Consumer Discretionary and Utilities
sectors were a negative factor that overall had very little impact. Stocks
contributing the least to performance were Merck, LeapFrog, St. Paul's and
Wyeth.

BALANCED FUND
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the Balanced Fund's Class
AAA Shares posted a return of 11.28% versus a return of 9.20% for the average
balanced fund tracked by Lipper Inc. Within that peer group, the Fund ranked in
the top 20% for the fiscal year and the top 18% for the five year period ended
September 30, 2004. The Fund also exceeded a common balanced benchmark comprised
of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index
that returned 9.65%.
The Fund is designed to provide exposure to equities with reduced overall
risk (volatility) through investment in short-to-intermediate fixed income
securities. With that fixed income maturity proviso, factors affecting the
performance discussed above for the Equity Fund and the following discussion for
Intermediate Bond Fund, also apply to their respective components in the
Balanced Fund.

INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the Intermediate Bond
Fund's Class AAA Shares returned 1.95% versus a return of 3.23% for the average
intermediate bond fund tracked by Lipper Inc. The Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index returned 3.33% for the same period.
Treasury yields again ended the fiscal year below 5%; however, the yield
curve flattened to reflect Federal Fund increases in the shorter maturities. The
30-year bond yield was essentially unchanged in comparison to one year earlier;
yields increased an average of 1.00% on notes maturing in less than three years,
while Treasury bill yields increased 75 basis points in step with Federal
Reserve actions. Although the twelve-month average yield was 4.30% on the
10-year Treasury note, which serves as a benchmark for longer mortgage rates, it
was exceptionally volatile. In March it rallied to 3.70%, in June it spiked to
4.89%, and then it rallied to end the year at 4.12%. During the closing six
months the Lehman Index returned only 0.27%.
For the year, spread sectors (those priced at a spread above similar
maturity Treasury yields) outperformed the Treasury sector of the investment
grade bond market. Securitized sectors (MBS -- backed by residential mortgages,
CMBS -- backed by commercial mortgages, and ABS -- backed by credit cards, auto,
home equity and manufactured housing loans) lagged the credit sectors: Utility,
Industrial, Financial Institutions, and Non-Corporate. The longer duration
investment grade corporate market benefited from a search for yield by
investors. Utility and Financial Institutions were the top performing sectors,
and long corporate bonds led all other maturity groups.
During the fiscal year, the Fund maintained an underweight in
long-duration securities and an overweight in higher rated corporate notes, both
of which dampened performance. Fund relative performance was positively affected
by holdings in CMBS and MBS, both of which outperformed the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index and U.S. Governments. Within the U.S. Treasury
sector, maturity selection and an underweight position both benefited the Fund.

SMALLCAP EQUITY FUND
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the Small Cap Equity
Fund's Class AAA Shares produced a return of 11.00%, versus a 9.15% return for
the Lipper Small Cap Growth Fund Average and an 18.77% return for the Russell
2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index exceeded the S&P 500 Index by almost 5%
during the past twelve months. Although the Fund did not exceed the Russell 2000
Index for the fiscal year as a whole, during the challenging market period since
March, it outperformed by 680 basis points (6.80% excess return). For the fiscal
year, the Fund ranked in the top 41% of its Lipper peer group; for the closing
three months the Fund ranked in the top 1%.
As in the larger cap index, the small cap Energy sector produced stellar
returns over 70%. Materials and Processing followed with a 45% return, but
Technology finished last for the fiscal year down 5%. Positive factors for
fiscal year Fund performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index included: (1) an
overweight position in Energy as well as stock selection that produced
performance above 90%, and (2) superior stock selection in both Financial
Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors. The major negatives were stock
selection in Health Care and Technology combined with an overweight in
Technology.
Top performing stocks included Ceradyne Inc. (Basic Materials), crude oil
producer Quicksilver Resources, Inc., computer software company SS&C
Technologies Inc., machinery company Middleby Corp., and Shuffle Master Inc.
(Consumer Discretionary). The following bottom performers were all sold during
the year: health care company Merit Medical Systems, telecommunications-related
companies Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Technology) and CalAmp Corp.
(Producer Durables), and semi-conductor-related companies OmniVision
Technologies (Technology) and August Technology Corp. (Producer Durables).

Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) Index gained 25.59%. The average return of
realty funds tracked by Lipper Inc. was 25.05%.
7
For a second consecutive year the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
asset class extended its stellar performance, topping both the S&P 500 Index and
the Russell 2000 Index. Led by Outlet Center and Regional Mall properties, all
but two sectors of the NAREIT beat the S&P 500 Index and six sectors finished
the fiscal year above the Russell 2000 Index. Income contributed one-quarter of
the NAREIT Index return. On September 30, 2004, the dividend yield of the Index
was 5.12%.
Positively contributing factors to Fund performance included:
o Security selection in Apartments, Diversified, Lodging/Resorts,
Manufactured Homes, Self Storage and Shopping Centers sectors.
o Exposure to commodities during a period in which returns on hard assets
significantly exceeded those on equities and bonds.
o Increased commitment to Apartments and an underweight in Health Care
stocks.
Detracting from relative Fund performance were overweight positions in
Mortgage and Industrial REIT sectors combined with security selection in the
Specialty sector.
In this very strong period for REITs, only two holdings negatively
contributed to performance - Apartment Investment & Management and mortgage REIT
Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group Inc. Among positive contributors, regional mall
owner Simon Property Group produced a total return of over 25% and contributed
1% to the return of the RealtyFund.Other strong performing securities included
Vornado Realty Trust (diversified) and General Growth Properties Inc. (regional
mall), followed by commodity-related Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. (REIT) and
Rayonier Inc. (REIT), and office REITs Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc. and
Boston Properties Inc.

MIGHTY MITES(SM) FUND
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Micro cap stocks underperformed large cap stocks, as measured by the S&P
500 Index, in the third quarter, perhaps in response to Federal Reserve interest
rate hikes. Historically, small company stocks have lagged during periods when
liquidity is being drained from the financial system. However, we believe the
Fed is simply raising artificially low short-term interest rates up to more
normalized levels and that this should not present a financial problem for small
companies. In general, investor anxiety over record high oil prices and
uncertainty created by the close presidential election took a toll on stocks.
The Fund closed the quarter with a 2.5% loss versus the Russell 2000 Index's
2.9% decline. During the last twelve months, the Fund gained 13.55% compared to
the Russell 2000 Index's 18.77% advance over the same period.
As could be expected with record high energy prices, energy sector
holdings such as Petroleum Development Corp., Stolt Offshore and RPC were among
our best performers during the trailing twelve months. Homebuilders and building
supplies companies such as Nobility Homes, Southern Energy Homes, Cavalier and
Cavco also performed well during the fiscal year, as the new housing market
remained strong. In general, our industrial holdings also contributed to returns
as Lamson & Sessions and Baldwin Technology appreciated considerably during the
past twelve months. Small group broadcasters such as Paxson Communications,
Young Broadcasting and Acme Communications continued to disappoint as
advertising spending remained soft. Other laggards included medical device maker
BioLase Technology and aircraft parts supplier Fairchild Corp.

THE GABELLI WESTWOOD FUNDS
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)
For the Six Month Period from April 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004
EXPENSE TABLE
================================================================================
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees and expenses
regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of a fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like
this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's
gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. When a fund's
expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, this figure is
known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you
understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to
compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on
an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for
the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways:
ACTUAL FUND RETURN: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that
you paid over the period after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The
"Ending Account Value" shown is derived from the Fund's ACTUAL return, and the
"Expenses Paid During Period" shows the dollar amount that would have been paid
by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use this
information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses
that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600
account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number
given for your Fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's
costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of
5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is
unchanged. In this case -- because the return used is NOT the Fund's actual
return -- the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in
making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all
mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your
Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical
examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help
you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs
such as sales charges (loads), and redemption fees, which are described in the
Prospectus. If these costs were applied to your account, your costs would be
higher. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses for the
period and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights
which is for the year ended September 30, 2004.

THE GABELLI WESTWOOD FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
1. ORGANIZATION. The Gabelli Westwood Funds (the "Trust") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a
diversified, open-end management investment company and currently consists of
six active separate investment portfolios: Equity Fund, Balanced Fund,
Intermediate Bond Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Realty Fund and Mighty Mites(SM)
Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), each with four classes of shares known as the
Class AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Each class
of shares outstanding bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other
rights and conditions, except that the expenses incurred in the distribution and
marketing of such shares are different for each class.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with U.S. 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 the significant accounting
policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their 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 Trustees (the "Board") so determines, by such other method as the Board
shall determine in good faith, to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio
securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are
valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined
by Gabelli Advisers, Inc. (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 of the foreign markets, but prior to the close of business on
the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly,
certain foreign securities may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established
by the Board. Debt instruments that are not credit impaired with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board
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. 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. Futures contracts are valued at the closing
settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable
contract is traded.
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. Fair valuation
methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and
review of available financial and non-financial information about the company;
comparisons to the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities,
including a comparison of foreign securities to the equivalent U.S. dollar value
ADR securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other
information that could be indicative of the value of the security.
ACCOUNTING FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. The Funds own shares of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("REITS") which report information on the source of
their distributions annually. Distributions received from REITS during the year
which represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction to the cost of
the individual REIT.

THE GABELLI WESTWOOD FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The books and records of the Trust 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 translations. Net realized foreign currency
gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign
currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment
securities transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference
between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Trust
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 from net investment
income are declared and paid annually for the Equity, SmallCap Equity and Mighty
Mites(SM) Funds, and quarterly for the Balanced and Realty Funds. The
Intermediate Bond Fund declares dividends daily and pays those dividends
monthly. Distributions of net realized gain on investments are normally declared
and paid at least annually by each Fund. Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from that determined under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the
Funds, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made
by the Funds.
For the year ended September 30, 2004, the following reclassifications were made
to increase (decrease) such accounts with offsetting adjustments to additional
paid-in-capital. These reclassifications related primarily to distributions from
Real Estate Investment Trusts, net operating losses and nondeductible
organizational costs.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated
investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. By so qualifying, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes
to the extent that they distribute all of their taxable income for the fiscal
year.
As of September 30, 2004, the components of distributable accumulated
earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

============ ============ ======== ============ ========== ===========
The difference between book and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)
is attributable primarily to the tax basis deferral of losses on wash sales.
Additionally, Mighty Mites(SM) has a basis adjustment due to an investment in a
publicly traded limited partnership.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE AND CALCULATION OF EXPENSES. Expenses directly
attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other expenses are allocated
proportionately among each Fund within the Trust in relation to the net assets
of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. In calculating net asset value per
share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses
and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each
class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the
beginning of each day. Distribution expenses are solely borne by the class
incurring the expense.
CONCENTRATION RISK. The Realty Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets
in REITS; therefore it may be more affected by economic developments in the real
estate industry than would a general equity fund.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS. The Funds have entered into an investment
advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Adviser which provides
that the Funds will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of 1.00% for the Equity, SmallCap Equity, Realty and Mighty
Mites(SM) Funds, 0.75% for the Balanced Fund, and 0.60% for the Intermediate
Bond Fund, of each Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has
contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse
expenses to the Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity, Realty and Mighty
33
THE GABELLI WESTWOOD FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
Mites(SM) Funds in the event annual expenses of such Funds exceed certain
prescribed limits. Such fee waiver/reimbursement arrangement will continue until
at least September 30, 2005. For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Adviser
was entitled to fees of $2,049,320, $1,106,180, $64,453, $131,731, $154,339 and
$617,438 for the Equity, Balanced, Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity, Realty
and Mighty Mites(SM) Funds, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2004,
the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed expenses in the amounts of $79,956,
$79,469, $46,975 and $101,024 and for the Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity,
Realty and Mighty Mites(SM) Funds, respectively.
The Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity, Realty and Mighty Mites(SM) Funds are
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 the applicable expense limitation for
Class AAA of 1.00%, 1.50%, 1.50% and 1.50%, respectively and for Class A of
1.10%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, and for Class B and Class C of
1.75%, 2.25%, 2.25% and 2.25%, respectively of average daily net assets, the
annual limitation under the Advisory Agreement. As of September 30, 2004 the
cumulative unreimbursed amounts which may be recovered by the Adviser within the
next two fiscal years are $155,718, $155,031, $103,322 and $162,435 for the
Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity, Realty and Mighty Mites(SM) Funds,
respectively.
The Funds, with the exception of the Mighty Mites(SM) Fund, have also entered
into a sub-advisory agreement with Westwood Management Corp. (the "Sub-Adviser")
whereby the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser the greater of $150,000 per year on an
aggregate basis for the Funds or a fee of 35% of net revenues to the Adviser
from the Funds. For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Adviser informed the
Funds that it paid collectively to the Sub-Adviser fees of $880,925 for the
Equity, Balanced, Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity andRealty Funds.
4. DISTRIBUTION PLAN. The Funds' Board has adopted a distribution plan (the
"Plan") for each class of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for
each of the classes of shares. Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli & Company"), an
affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor of the Funds. Under the Class
AAA, A, B and C Share Plans, payments are authorized to Gabelli & Company at
annual rates of 0.25%, 0.50% (for the Intermediate Bond Fund at an annual rate
of 0.35%), 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of
those classes, the annual limitations under each Plan. Such payments are accrued
daily and paid monthly.
5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Purchases and sales of securities for the year ended

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 one year after purchase. As of
July 27, 2004, ClassBShares are available only through exchange of Class BShares

respect to the Mighty Mites(SM) Fund), and redeemed or exchanged within 60 days
after the date of a purchase. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds
otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders and retained by the Funds. The
redemption fees returned to the assets of the Funds during the year ended
September 30, 2004 amounted to $7,830, $2,085, $194, $396, $984 and $461 for the
Equity, Balanced, Intermediate Bond, SmallCap Equity, Realty and Mighty
Mites(SM) Funds, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
The Gabelli Westwood Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Gabelli Westwood Equity Fund,
The Gabelli Westwood Balanced Fund, The Gabelli Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund,
The Gabelli Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund, The Gabelli Westwood Realty Fund, and
The Gabelli Westwood Mighty Mites(SM) Fund (constituting The Gabelli Westwood
Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at September 30, 2004, the results
of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2004 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

Regulation S-X.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee
("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
its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson's
pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The
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
the Committee or the Chairperson prior to the completion of the
audit.
(e)(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b)
through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee
pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X
are as follows:
(b) N/A
(c) 100%
(d) N/A
(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's
engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most
recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons
other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees
was zero percent (0%).
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for
services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant's
investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is
primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by
another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services
to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the
registrant was $0 in 2004 and $0 in 2003.
(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of directors HAS
considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were
rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any

subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant

2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant's independence.

ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
The Board of Trustees has a Nominating Committee comprised of three
"non-interested" (as such term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended) Trustees, namely Anthony J. Colavita, James P. Conn and Werner J.
Roeder. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying individuals
believed to be qualified to become Board members in the event that a position is
vacated or created. The Nominating Committee will consider Trustee candidates
recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by
shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of
the Board of Trustees, the qualifications of the candidate and the interests of
shareholders. The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the
number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time
that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the
Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing
and must include the following information:
o The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person's ownership of
shares of the Trust, including the number of shares owned and the
length of time of ownership;
o The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his
or her qualifications to be a Trustee of the Trust and the person's
consent to be named as a Trustee if selected by the Nominating
Committee and nominated by the Board of Trustees; and
o If requested by the Nominating Committee, a completed and signed
Trustees questionnaire.
The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to
the Trust's Secretary c/o Gabelli Funds, LLC, James E. McKee and must be
received by the Secretary no less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of
the Trust's most recent annual meeting of shareholders or, if the meeting has
moved by more than 30 days, a reasonable amount of time before the meeting.
The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as
a Trustee of the Trust are that the individual demonstrate, by significant
accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution
to the Board of Trustees' oversight of the business and affairs of the Trust and
have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both
his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Nominating
Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills, time
availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and
independence from management and the Trust. The Nominating Committee also seeks
to have the Board of Trustees represent a diversity of backgrounds and
experience.
The Trust's Nominating Committee has adopted a charter (the "Charter"), which
was approved by the Board of Trustees on May 11, 2004.
ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or

(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17
CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal
half-year (the registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
