&#160;&#160;The Gabelli Global Gold, Natural Resources&#160;&amp; Income Trust
(the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund&#8217;s
primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The
Fund&#8217;s secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent
with the Fund&#8217;s strategy and its primary objective. The Fund&#8217;s investment
adviser is Gabelli Funds, LLC (the &#8220;Investment Adviser&#8221;). An investment in the
Fund is not appropriate for all investors. We cannot assure you that the Fund&#8217;s
objectives will be achieved.</font></div>

normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives by
investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies
principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries.
The Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of
companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication,
processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing,
controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#8220;gold-related&#8221; activities. In
addition, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or
distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and
agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related
transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the
securities of companies located anywhere in the world and under normal
conditions will invest at least 40% of its assets in the securities of issuers
located in at least three countries other than the U.S.&#160;As part of its
investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an option
strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on equity securities in its
portfolio. When the Fund sells a covered call option, it generates gains in the
form of the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund forgoes
the opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the underlying
equity security above the exercise price of the option. See &#8220;Investment
Objectives and Policies.&#8221;</font></div>

principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication, processing,
distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing, controlling or
operating of companies engaged in &#8220;gold-related&#8221; activities (&#8220;Gold Companies&#8221;).
In addition, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or
distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and
agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related
transportation companies and equipment manufacturers (&#8220;Natural Resources
Companies&#8221;). The Fund may invest in the securities of companies located anywhere
in the world and under normal market conditions will invest at least 40% of its
assets in the securities of issuers located in at least three countries other
than the U.S.</font></div>

engaged, as used in this prospectus, means a company that derives at least 50%
of its revenues or earnings or devotes at least 50% of its assets to the
indicated businesses. An issuer will be treated as being located outside the
U.S.&#160;if it is either organized or headquartered outside of the
U.S.&#160;and has a substantial portion of its operations or sales outside the
U.S.&#160;Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks,
convertible securities, warrants, depository receipts and equity interests in
trusts and other entities. Other Fund investments may include investment
companies, including exchange-traded funds, securities of issuers subject to
reorganization, derivative instruments, debt (including obligations of the
U.S.&#160;Government) and money market instruments. As part of its investment
strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an option strategy which
will normally consist of writing (selling) call options on equity securities in
its portfolio (&#8220;covered calls&#8221;), but may, in amounts up to 15% of the Fund&#8217;s
assets, consist of writing uncovered call options on securities not held by the
Fund, indices comprised of Gold Companies or Natural Resources Companies or
exchange traded funds comprised of such issuers and put options on securities in
its portfolio. When the Fund sells a call option, it generates gains in the form
of the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund forgoes the
opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the underlying equity
security above the exercise price of the option. When the Fund sells a put
option, it generates gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the
put option, but the Fund will have the obligation to buy the underlying security
at the exercise price if the price of the security decreases below the exercise
price of the option. See &#8220;Investment Objectives and Policies.&#8221;</font></div>

October&#160;16, 2007, the Fund completed the placement of $100&#160;million of
Cumulative Preferred Shares (&#8220;Preferred Shares&#8221;) consisting of 4&#160;million
shares designated as Series A and paying dividends of an annual rate equal to
6.625% of liquidation preference. The Preferred Shares are senior to the common
shares and result in the financial leveraging of the common shares. Such
leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to common
shareholders. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are cumulative. The Fund is
required by the 1940 Act and by the Statement of Preferences to meet certain
asset coverage tests with respect to the Preferred Shares. If the Fund fails to
meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be
required to redeem, in part or in full, the Preferred Shares at the redemption
price of $25 per share plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet the
requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage
requirements could restrict the Fund&#8217;s ability to pay dividends to common
shareholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune
times. The income received on the Fund&#8217;s assets may vary in a manner unrelated
to the fixed rate, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on
net investment income and gains available to common shareholders.</font></div>

be advantageous to the holders of the Fund&#8217;s common shares for the Fund to

either at a fixed rate or at rates that will be reset frequently based on

Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of
its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and
realized short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends
to make annual distributions of its realized capital gains (which is the excess
of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses). A portion of
the Fund&#8217;s distributions on its common shares for 2008 and subsequent periods
have included, or have been estimated to include, a return of capital. Any
return of capital that is a component of a distribution is not sourced from
realized gains of the Fund and that portion should not be considered by
investors as yield or total return on their investment in the Fund. Various
factors will affect the level of the Fund&#8217;s income, such as its asset mix and
use of covered call strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable
monthly distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute less than the
entire amount of income earned in a particular period, which would be available
to supplement future distributions. As a result, the distributions paid by the
Fund for any particular monthly period may be more or less than the amount of
income actually earned by the Fund during that period. Because the Fund&#8217;s
distribution policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees at any time and the
Fund&#8217;s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay
dividends or distributions at a particular rate. See &#8220;Dividends and

&#160;&#160;The operations and financial performance of Gold and Natural

commodities, especially those Gold and Natural Resources Companies for whom the
commodities they own are significant assets. Commodity prices fluctuate for
several reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions, levels of
domestic production, impact of governmental regulation and taxation, the
availability of transportation systems and, in the case of oil and gas companies
in particular, conservation measures and the impact of weather. Volatility of
commodity prices which may lead to a reduction in production or supply, may also
negatively affect the performance of Gold and Natural Resources Companies which
are solely involved in the transportation, processing, storing, distribution or
marketing of commodities. Volatility of commodity prices may also make it more
difficult for Gold and Natural Resources Companies to raise capital to the
extent the market perceives that their performance may be directly or indirectly
tied to commodity prices.</font></div>

associated with writing covered calls and entering into other types of option
transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the
securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation
between these markets, resulting in a given transaction not achieving its
objectives. In addition, a decision as to whether, when and how to use covered
call options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a
well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or
unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes,
during the option&#8217;s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market
value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the
call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the
underlying security decline.&#160;&#160;Although such loss would be offset in
part by the option premium received, in a situation in which the price of a
particular stock on which the Fund has written a covered call option declines
rapidly and materially or in which prices in general on all or a substantial
portion of the stocks on which the Fund has written covered call options decline
rapidly and materially, the Fund could sustain material depreciation or loss in
its net assets to the extent it does not sell the underlying securities (which
may require it to terminate, offset or otherwise cover its option position as
well). As the writer of an uncovered call option, the Fund has no risk of loss
should the price of the underlying security decline, but bears unlimited risk of
loss should the price of the underlying security increase above the exercise
price until the Fund covers its exposure.</font></div>

absence of a liquid secondary market for exchange-traded options include the
following: (i)&#160;there may be insufficient trading interest;
(ii)&#160;restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or
closing transactions or both; (iii)&#160;trading halts, suspensions or other
restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of
options; (iv)&#160;unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal
operations on an exchange; (v)&#160;the trading facilities may not be adequate

the securities held by the Fund will fall in market value due to adverse market
and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the
issuers of securities held by the Fund participate and the particular
circumstances and performance of particular companies whose securities the Fund
holds. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect economic stake in the
securities owned by the Fund, which are for the most part traded on securities
exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. The market value of these
securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes
rapidly and unpredictably. The net asset value of the Fund may at any point in

&#160;&#160;The use of leverage, which can be described as exposure to changes
in price at a ratio greater than the amount of equity invested, either through
the issuance of preferred shares, borrowing or other forms of market exposure,
magnifies both the favorable and unfavorable effects of price movements in the
investments made by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund is leveraged in its
investment operations, the Fund will be subject to substantial risk of loss. The

decline in the net asset value of the Fund&#8217;s investments would be borne entirely
by the holders of common shares. Therefore, if the market value of the Fund&#8217;s
portfolio declines, the leverage will result in a greater decrease in net asset
value to the holders of common shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. This
greater net asset value decrease will also tend to cause a greater decline in
the market price for the common shares. The Fund might be in danger of failing
to maintain the required asset coverage of its borrowings or preferred shares or
of losing its ratings on its borrowings or preferred shares or, in an extreme
case, the Fund&#8217;s current investment income might not be sufficient to meet the
interest or dividend requirements on its borrowings or preferred shares. In
order to counteract such an event, the Fund might need to liquidate investments
in order to fund a redemption of some or all of the preferred
shares.</font></div>

The limited size of emerging securities markets and limited trading value
compared to the volume of trading in U.S.&#160;securities could cause prices to
be erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of the
securities. For example, limited market size may cause prices to be unduly
influenced by traders who control large positions. Adverse publicity and
investors&#8217; perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may
decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio securities, especially in these

trading volume in a small number of issuers representing a limited number of
industries, as well as a high concentration of investors and financial
intermediaries; overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources
exports, making these economies vulnerable to changes in commodity prices;
overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems;
environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable

&#160;&#160;The Fund expects to invest in companies whose securities are
denominated or quoted in currencies other than U.S.&#160;dollars or have
significant operations or markets outside of the U.S.&#160;In such instances,
the Fund will be exposed to currency risk, including the risk of fluctuations in
the exchange rate between U.S.&#160;dollars (in which the Fund&#8217;s shares are
denominated) and such foreign currencies and the risk of currency devaluations.
Certain non-U.S.&#160;currencies, primarily in developing countries, have been
devalued in the past and might face devaluation in the future. Currency
devaluations generally have a significant and adverse impact on the devaluing
country&#8217;s economy in the short and intermediate term and on the financial
condition and results of companies&#8217; operations in that country. Currency
devaluations may also be accompanied by significant declines in the values and
liquidity of equity and debt securities of affected governmental and private
sector entities generally. To the extent that affected companies have
obligations denominated in currencies other than the devalued currency, those
companies may also have difficulty in meeting those obligations under such
circumstances, which in turn could have an adverse effect upon the value of the
Fund&#8217;s investments in such companies. There can be no assurance that current or
future developments with respect to foreign currency devaluations will not
impair the Fund&#8217;s investment flexibility, its ability to achieve its investment
objectives or the value of certain of its foreign currency denominated
investments. See &#8220;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#8212;Foreign Currency
Risk.&#8221;</font></div>

&#160;&#160;Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of
common shares of the Fund will depend upon the market price of the shares at the
time of sale, which may be less or more than the Fund&#8217;s net asset value per
share. Since the market price of the common shares will be affected by such
factors as the Fund&#8217;s dividend and distribution levels (which are in turn
affected by expenses) and stability, net asset value, market liquidity, the
relative demand for and supply of the common shares in the market, unrealized
gains, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the
control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the common shares will
trade at, below or above net asset value or at, below or above the public
offering price. Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their
net asset value and the Fund&#8217;s shares may trade at such a discount. This risk
may be greater for investors expecting to sell their common shares of the Fund
soon after the completion of the public offering. The common shares of the Fund
are designed primarily for long-term investors, and investors in the common
shares should not view the Fund as a vehicle for trading purposes. See &#8220;Risk
Factors and Special Considerations&#8212;Market Discount Risk.&#8221;</font></div>

&#160;&#160;Common stock of an issuer in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio may decline in
price for a variety of reasons including if the issuer fails to make anticipated
dividend payments. Common stock is structurally subordinated as to income and
residual value to preferred stock and debt in a company&#8217;s capital structure, and
therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred stock or debt
instruments of such issuers. While common stock has historically generated
higher average returns over long measurement periods than fixed income
securities, common stock has also experienced significantly more volatility in
those returns. See &#8220;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#8212;Common Stock
Risk.&#8221;</font></div>

&#160;&#160;Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend
yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. The market values of
convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and,
conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. In the absence of adequate
anti-dilution provisions in a convertible security, dilution in the value of the
Fund&#8217;s holding may occur in the event the underlying stock is subdivided,
additional equity securities are issued for below market value, a stock dividend
is declared, or the issuer enters into another type of corporate transaction
that has a similar effect. See &#8220;Risk Factors and Special
Considerations&#8212;Convertible Securities Risk.&#8221;</font></div>

the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of
slower than expected principal payments. This may prolong the length of time the

&#160;&#160;Although the Fund expects that its portfolio will primarily be
comprised of liquid securities, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in
unregistered securities and otherwise illiquid investments. Unregistered
securities are securities that cannot be sold publicly in the United States
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. An illiquid investment is
a security or other investment that cannot be disposed of within seven days in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the value at which the Fund has
valued the investment. Unregistered securities often can be resold only in
privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of purchasers or in a
public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Considerable delay
could be encountered in either event and, unless otherwise contractually
provided for, the Fund&#8217;s proceeds upon sale may be reduced by the costs of
registration or underwriting discounts. The difficulties and delays associated
with such transactions could result in the Fund&#8217;s inability to realize a
favorable price upon disposition of unregistered securities, and at times might
make disposition of such securities impossible. In addition, the Fund may be
unable to sell other illiquid investments when it desires to do so, resulting in
the Fund obtaining a lower price or being required to retain the investment.
Illiquid investments generally must be valued at fair value, which is inherently
less precise than utilizing market values for liquid investments, and may lead
to differences between the price a security is valued for determining the Fund&#8217;s
net asset value and the price the Fund actually receives upon sale. See &#8220;Risk
Factors and Special Considerations&#8212;Illiquid Investments.&#8221;</font></div>

&#160;&#160;As a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, the Fund
may invest a greater portion of its assets in a more limited number of issuers

&#160;&#160;As a result of the terrorist attacks on domestic U.S. targets on
September&#160;11, 2001, some of the U.S.&#160;securities markets were closed
for a four-day period. These terrorists attacks, the war in Iraq and its
aftermath and other geopolitical events have led to, and may in the future lead
to, increased short-term market volatility and may have long-term effects on
U.S.&#160;and world economies and markets. The nature, scope and duration of the
war and occupation cannot be predicted with any certainty. Similar events in the
future or other disruptions of financial markets could affect interest rates,
securities exchanges, auctions, secondary trading, ratings, credit risk,

provisions of the Fund&#8217;s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws
(collectively, the &#8220;Governing Documents&#8221;) may be regarded as &#8220;anti-takeover&#8221;
provisions. Pursuant to these provisions, only one of three classes of Trustees
is elected each year, and the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the
outstanding shares of the Fund are necessary to authorize the conversion of the
Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company or to authorize certain
transactions between the Fund and a beneficial owner of more than 5% of any
class of the Fund&#8217;s capital stock. The overall effect of these provisions is to
render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger with, or the assumption of
control by, a principal shareholder. These provisions may have the effect of
depriving Fund common shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a
premium to the prevailing market price. The issuance of preferred shares could
make it more difficult for the holders of common shares to avoid the effect of
these provisions. See &#8220;Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Fund&#8217;s Governing

Fund&#8217;s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current
income. The Fund&#8217;s secondary investment objective is to seek capital
appreciation consistent with the Fund&#8217;s strategy and its primary objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives
by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies
principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries.
The Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of
companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication,
processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing,
controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#8220;gold-related&#8221; activities. In
addition, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or
distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and
agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related
transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the
securities of companies located anywhere in the world. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its assets in the securities of
issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S.&#160;For this
purpose an issuer will be treated as located outside the U.S.&#160;if it is
either organized or headquartered outside the U.S.&#160;and has a substantial
portion of its operations or sales outside the U.S.&#160;Equity securities may
include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants,
depository receipts and equity interests in trusts and other entities. Other
Fund investments may include investment companies, securities of issuers subject
to reorganization or other risk arbitrage investments, certain derivative
instruments, debt (including obligations of the U.S.&#160;Government) and money
market instruments.</font></div>

part of its investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an

forgoes the opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the
underlying equity security above the exercise price of the option.</font></div>

&#160;&#160;Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 25% of
its assets in the equity securities of Gold Companies. &#8220;Gold Companies&#8221; are
those that are principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication,
processing, distribution or trading of gold, or the financing, managing,
controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#8220;gold-related&#8221; activities. The

selecting investments in Gold Companies for the Fund, the Investment Adviser
focuses on stocks that are undervalued, but which appear to have favorable
prospects for growth. Factors considered in this determination include
capitalization per ounce of gold production, capitalization per ounce of
recoverable reserves, quality of management and ability to create shareholder
wealth. Because most of the world&#8217;s gold production is outside of the United
States, the Fund may have a significant portion of its investments in Gold
Companies in securities of foreign issuers, including those located in developed
as well as emerging markets. The percentage of Fund assets invested in
particular countries or regions will change from time to time based on the
Investment Adviser&#8217;s judgment. Among other things, the Investment Adviser will
consider the economic stability and economic outlook of these countries and
regions. See &#8220;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#8212;Industry

Transactions.</font> &#160;&#160;The Fund intends to generate gains through an
option strategy which will normally consist of writing (selling) call options on
equity securities in its portfolio (&#8220;covered calls&#8221;), but may, in amounts up to
15% of the Fund&#8217;s assets, consist of writing uncovered call options on
additional amounts of such securities beyond the amounts held in its portfolio,
on other securities not held in its portfolio, on indices comprised of Gold
Companies or Natural Resources Companies or on exchange traded funds comprised
of such issuers and also may consist of writing put options on securities in its
portfolio. Writing a covered call is the selling of an option contract entitling
the buyer to purchase an underlying security that the Fund owns, while writing
an uncovered call is the selling of such a contract entitling the buyer to
purchase a security the Fund does not own or in an amount in excess of the
amount the Fund owns. When the Fund sells a call option, it generates gains in
the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund
forgoes the opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the
underlying equity security above the exercise price of the option. The writer of
the call option has the obligation, upon exercise of the option, to deliver the
underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price during the
option period.</font></div>

put option is the reverse of a call option, giving the buyer the right, in

specified price, and obligating the writer to purchase the underlying security
from the holder at that price. When the Fund sells a put option, it generates
gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the put option, but the
Fund will have the obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise
price if the price of the security decreases below the exercise price of the
option.</font></div>

a closing purchase transaction. This is accomplished by purchasing a call option
with the same terms as the option previously written. However, once the Fund has
been assigned an exercise notice, the Fund will be unable to effect a closing
purchase transaction. Similarly, if the Fund is the holder of an option, it may
liquidate its position by effecting a closing sale transaction. This is
accomplished by selling an option with the same terms as the option previously
purchased. There can be no assurance that either a closing purchase or sale
transaction can be effected when the Fund so desires.</font></div>

Fund will realize a profit from a closing transaction if the price of the

loss from a closing transaction if the price of the transaction is more than the
premium it received from writing the option or is less than the premium it paid
to purchase the option. Since call option prices generally reflect increases in
the price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of
a call option may also be wholly or partially offset by unrealized appreciation

Gains and losses on investments in options depend, in part, on the ability of
the Investment Adviser to predict correctly the effect of these factors. The use
of options cannot serve as a complete hedge since the price movement of
securities underlying the options will not necessarily follow the price

on an exchange will exist for any particular option. In such event, it might not

&#160;&#160;The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities for
which there is no readily available trading market or are otherwise illiquid.
Illiquid securities include, among other things, securities legally restricted
as to resale such as commercial paper issued pursuant to Section&#160;4(2) of
the Securities Act, 144A securities, written over-the-counter options,
repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days, certain loan
participation interests, fixed time deposits which are not subject to prepayment
or provide for withdrawal penalties upon prepayment (other than overnight
deposits), and other securities whose disposition is restricted under the
federal securities laws. Section&#160;4(2) and Rule&#160;144A securities may,
however, be treated as liquid by the Investment Adviser pursuant to procedures
adopted by the Board of Trustees, which require consideration of factors such as
trading activity, availability of market quotations and number of dealers
willing to purchase the security. If the Fund invests in Rule&#160;144A
securities, the level of portfolio illiquidity may be increased to the extent
that eligible buyers become uninterested in purchasing such

&#160;&#160;Repurchase agreements may be seen as loans by the Fund
collateralized by underlying debt securities. Under the terms of a typical
repurchase agreement, the Fund would acquire an underlying debt obligation for a
relatively short period (usually not more than one week) subject to an
obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation
at an agreed price and time. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return
to the Fund that is not subject to market fluctuations during the holding
period. The Fund bears a risk of loss in the event that the other party to a
repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is delayed in or
prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities,
including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying
securities during the period in which it seeks to assert these rights. The
Investment Adviser, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
reviews the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Fund
enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate these risks and monitors on an
ongoing basis the value of the securities subject to repurchase agreements to
ensure that the value is maintained at the required level. The Fund will not
enter into repurchase agreements with the Investment Adviser or any of its
affiliates.</font></div>

similar to non-convertible debt securities in that they ordinarily provide a
stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the
same or similar issuers. Convertible securities are senior in rank to common
stock in a corporation&#8217;s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less
risk than the corporation&#8217;s common stock, although the extent to which such risk

Investors Service, Inc. (&#8220;Moody&#8217;s&#8221;), or non-rated securities of comparable
quality. These debt securities are predominantly speculative and involve major
risk exposure to adverse conditions. Debt securities that are not rated or rated
lower than &#8220;BBB&#8221; by S&amp;P or lower than &#8220;Baa&#8221; by Moody&#8217;s (or unrated
securities of comparable quality) are referred to in the financial press as

such lower grade securities and unrated securities of comparable quality offer a
higher current yield than is offered by higher rated securities, but also
(i)&#160;will likely have some quality and protective characteristics that, in
the judgment of the rating organizations, are outweighed by large uncertainties
or major risk exposures to adverse conditions and (ii)&#160;are predominantly
speculative with respect to the issuer&#8217;s capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. The market values of
certain of these securities also tend to be more sensitive to individual
corporate developments and changes in economic conditions than higher quality
bonds. In addition, such lower grade securities and comparable unrated
securities generally present a higher degree of credit risk. The risk of loss
due to default by these issuers is significantly greater because such lower
grade securities and unrated securities of comparable quality generally are
unsecured and frequently are subordinated to the prior payment of senior
indebtedness. In light of these risks, the Investment Adviser, in evaluating the
creditworthiness of an issue, whether rated or unrated, will take various
factors into consideration, which may include, as applicable, the issuer&#8217;s
operating history, financial resources and its sensitivity to economic
conditions and trends, the market support for the facility financed by the
issue, the perceived ability and integrity of the issuer&#8217;s management and
regulatory matters.</font></div>

addition, the market value of securities in lower grade categories is more
volatile than that of higher quality securities, and the markets in which such
lower grade or unrated securities are traded are more limited than those in
which higher rated securities are traded. The existence of limited markets may
make it more difficult for the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for
purposes of valuing its portfolio and calculating its net asset value. Moreover,
the lack of a liquid trading market may restrict the availability of securities
for the Fund to purchase and may also have the effect of limiting the ability of
the Fund to sell securities at their fair value to respond to changes in the
economy or the financial markets.</font></div>

debt obligations also present risks based on payment expectations. If an issuer
calls the obligation for redemption (often a feature of fixed income
securities), the Fund may have to replace the security with a lower yielding
security, resulting in a decreased return for investors. Also, as the principal
value of bonds moves inversely with movements in interest rates, in the event of
rising interest rates the value of the securities held by the Fund may decline
proportionately more than a portfolio consisting of higher rated securities.
Investments in zero coupon bonds may be more speculative and subject to greater
fluctuations in value due to changes in interest rates than bonds that pay
interest currently. Interest rates are at historical lows and, therefore, it is
likely that they will rise in the future.</font></div>

addition to using recognized rating agencies and other sources, the Investment
Adviser also performs its own analysis of issues in seeking investments that it

condition of the issuer. Its analysis of issuers may include, among other
things, current and anticipated cash flow and borrowing requirements, value of
assets in relation to historical cost, strength of management, responsiveness to
business conditions, credit standing and current anticipated results of
operations. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Investment Adviser may

certain ordinary course liabilities, exceed 300% of the amount of the debt
outstanding and exceed 200% of the amount of preferred shares and debt
outstanding. The use of leverage magnifies the impact of changes in net asset
value. For example, a fund that uses 33% leverage will show a 1.5% increase or
decline in net asset value for each 1% increase or decline in the value of its
total assets. In addition, if the cost of leverage exceeds the return on the
securities acquired with the proceeds of leverage, the use of leverage will
diminish rather than enhance the return to the Fund. The use of leverage
generally increases the volatility of returns to the Fund. See &#8220;Risk Factors and

use of interest rate swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that
involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio security transactions. In an interest rate swap, the Fund
would agree to pay to the other party to the interest rate swap (which is known
as the &#8220;counterparty&#8221;) periodically a fixed rate payment in exchange for the
counterparty agreeing to pay to the fund periodically a variable rate payment
that is intended to approximate the Fund&#8217;s variable rate payment obligation on
its borrowings or variable rate preferred shares. In an interest rate cap, the
Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty to the interest rate cap and, to
the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed
rate, would receive from the counterparty payments of the difference based on
the notional amount of such cap. Interest rate swap and cap transactions
introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated to pay
interest or preferred shares dividends when due even if the counterparty
defaulted. Depending on the general state of short-term interest rates and the
returns on the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities at that point in time, such a default
could negatively affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to make interest payments or dividend
payments on the preferred shares. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap
or cap transaction reaches its scheduled termination date, there is a risk that
the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms
of the replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If
this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to make
interest payments or dividend payments on the preferred shares. To the extent
there is a decline in interest rates, the value of the interest rate swap or cap
could decline, resulting in a decline in the asset coverage for the borrowings
or preferred shares. A sudden and dramatic decline in interest rates may result
in a significant decline in the asset coverage. If the Fund fails to maintain
the required asset coverage on any outstanding preferred shares or fails to
comply with other covenants, the Fund may be required to redeem some or all of
these shares. Any redemption would likely result in the Fund seeking to
terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transactions. Early
termination of a swap could result in a termination payment by the Fund to the
counterparty, while early termination of a cap could result in a termination
payment to the Fund.</font></div>

Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two
payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or
dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the
case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund intends to
segregate cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the value

Investments related to gold are considered speculative and are affected by a

gold may fluctuate sharply over short periods of time due to changes in
inflation or expectations regarding inflation in various countries, the
availability of supplies of gold, changes in industrial and commercial demand,
gold sales by governments, central banks or international agencies, investment
speculation, monetary and other economic policies of various governments and
government restrictions on private ownership of gold. In times of significant
inflation or great economic uncertainty, Gold Companies have historically
outperformed securities markets generally. However, in times of stable economic
growth, traditional equity and debt investments could offer greater appreciation
potential and the value of gold and the prices of equity securities of Gold
Companies may be adversely affected, which could in turn affect the Fund&#8217;s
returns. Some Gold Companies hedge, to varying degrees, their exposure to
declines in the price of gold. Such hedging limits a Gold Company&#8217;s ability to
benefit from future rises in the price of gold. The Investment Adviser&#8217;s
judgments about trends in the prices of securities of Gold Companies may prove

commodities, especially those Gold and Natural Resources Companies for whom the
commodities they own are significant assets. Commodity prices fluctuate for
several reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions, levels of
domestic production, impact of governmental regulation and taxation, the
availability of transportation systems and, in the case of oil and gas companies
in particular, conservation measures and the impact of weather. Volatility of
commodity prices, which may lead to a reduction in production or supply, may
also negatively affect the performance of Gold and Natural Resources Companies
which are solely involved in the transportation, processing, storing,

also make it more difficult for Gold and Natural Resources Companies to raise

are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For
example, there are significant differences between the securities and options
markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets,
causing a given covered call option transaction not to achieve its objectives. A
decision as to whether, when and how to use covered calls (or other options)
involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived
transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events.
As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option&#8217;s
life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the
security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option,
but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security
decline. Although such loss would be offset in part by the option premium
received, in a situation in which the price of a particular stock on which the
Fund has written a covered call option declines rapidly and materially or in
which prices in general on all or a substantial portion of the stocks on which
the Fund has written covered call options decline rapidly and materially, the
Fund could sustain material depreciation or loss in its net assets to the extent
it does not sell the underlying securities (which may require it to terminate,
offset or otherwise cover its option position as well). The writer of an option
has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation
as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise
notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate
its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the
exercise price.</font></div>

can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close

trading interest; (ii)&#160;restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on
opening transactions or closing transactions or both; (iii)&#160;trading halts,
suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular
classes or series of options; (iv)&#160;unusual or unforeseen circumstances may
interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v)&#160;the trading facilities of
an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation (the &#8220;OCC&#8221;) may not at all times
be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi)&#160;the relevant exchange
could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date
to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of
options). If trading were discontinued, the secondary market on that exchange
(or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist. However,
outstanding options on that exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result
of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with
their terms. The Fund&#8217;s ability to terminate over-the-counter options may be
more limited than with exchange-traded options and may involve the risk that
counterparties participating in such transactions will not fulfill their

volatility of the stock market and the underlying common stocks and the
remaining time to the options&#8217; expiration. Additionally, the exercise price of
an option may be adjusted downward before the option&#8217;s expiration as a result of
the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the underlying equity

Fund currently uses financial leverage for investment purposes by issuing
preferred shares. As of December&#160;31, 2009, the amount of leverage
represented approximately&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;%
of the Fund&#8217;s total assets. The Fund&#8217;s leveraged capital structure creates
special risks not associated with unleveraged funds that have a similar
investment objective and policies. These include the possibility of greater loss
and the likelihood of higher volatility of the net asset value of the Fund and
the asset coverage for the preferred shares. Such volatility may increase the
likelihood of the Fund having to sell investments in order to meet its
obligations to make distributions on the preferred shares or principal or
interest payments on debt securities, or to redeem preferred shares or repay
debt, when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The use of leverage magnifies
both the favorable and unfavorable effects of price movements in the investments
made by the Fund. To the extent the Fund is leveraged in its investment
operations, the Fund will be subject to substantial risk of loss. The Fund
cannot assure that borrowings or the issuance of preferred shares will result in
a higher yield or return to the holders of the common shares. Also, if the Fund
is utilizing leverage, a decline in net asset value could affect the ability of
the Fund to make common share distributions and such a failure to make
distributions could result in the Fund ceasing to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Code. See &#8220;Taxation.&#8221;</font></div>

value to the holders of common shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. This
greater net asset value decrease will also tend to cause a greater decline in
the market price for the common shares. In such a case, the Fund might be in
danger of failing to maintain the required asset coverage of its borrowings or
preferred shares or of losing its ratings on its borrowings or preferred shares
or, in an extreme case, the Fund&#8217;s current investment income might not be
sufficient to meet the interest or dividend requirements on its borrowings or

many of the world&#8217;s Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies are located
outside of the U.S., the Fund may have a significant portion of its investments
in securities that are traded in foreign markets and that are not subject to the
requirements of the U.S.&#160;securities laws, markets and accounting
requirements (&#8220;Foreign Securities&#8221;). Investments in the securities of foreign
issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with
investments in securities of domestic issuers. Foreign companies are not
generally subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial standards and
requirements as those applicable to U.S.&#160;companies. Foreign Securities
exchanges, brokers and listed companies may be subject to less government
supervision and regulation than exists in the U.S.&#160;Dividend and interest
income may be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes, which may
adversely affect the net return on such investments. There may be difficulty in
obtaining or enforcing a court judgment abroad, and it may be difficult to
effect repatriation of capital invested in certain countries. In addition, with
respect to certain countries, there are risks of expropriation, confiscatory
taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could
affect assets of the Fund held in foreign countries.</font></div>

may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than a
U.S.&#160;company. Foreign Securities markets may have substantially less volume
than U.S.&#160;securities markets and some foreign company securities are less
liquid than securities of otherwise comparable U.S.&#160;companies. A portfolio
of Foreign Securities may also be adversely affected by fluctuations in the
rates of exchange between the currencies of different nations and by exchange
control regulations. Foreign markets also have different clearance and
settlement procedures that could cause the Fund to encounter difficulties in
purchasing and selling securities on such markets and may result in the Fund
missing attractive investment opportunities or experiencing loss. In addition, a
portfolio that includes Foreign Securities can expect to have a higher expense
ratio because of the increased transaction costs on non-U.S.&#160;securities
markets and the increased costs of maintaining the custody of Foreign
Securities.</font></div>

in Foreign Securities will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect
consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that
issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. Certain countries in
which the Fund may invest have historically experienced, and may continue to
experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate
fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade
difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of these countries are
also characterized by political uncertainty and instability. The cost of

Fund may invest in securities of issuers located or having significant
operations in &#8220;emerging markets.&#8221; An &#8220;emerging market&#8221; country is any country
that is considered to be an emerging or developing country by the World Bank.
Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special
risks relating to potential political and economic instability and the risks of
expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions
on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments and restrictions on
repatriation of capital invested. Emerging securities markets are substantially
smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities
markets. The limited size of emerging securities markets and limited trading
value compared to the volume of trading in U.S.&#160;securities could cause
prices to be erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of
the securities. For example, limited market size may cause prices to be unduly
influenced by traders who control large positions. Adverse publicity and
investors&#8217; perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may
decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio securities, especially in these
markets. Other risks include high concentration of market capitalization and
trading volume in a small number of issuers representing a limited number of
industries, as well as a high concentration of investors and financial
intermediaries; over-dependence on exports, including gold and natural resources
exports, making these economies vulnerable to changes in commodity prices;
overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems;
environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable
securities custodial services and settlement practices.</font></div>

be accompanied by significant declines in the values and liquidity of equity and

To the extent that affected companies have obligations denominated in currencies

periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a preferred stock or fixed
income security may be able to exercise an option to prepay principal earlier
than scheduled, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This
is known as call or prepayment risk. Preferred stock and debt securities
frequently have call features that allow the issuer to redeem the securities
prior to their stated maturities. An issuer may redeem such a security if the
issuer can refinance it at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an
improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. During periods of rising
interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended
because of slower than expected principal payments. This may prolong the length
of time the security pays a below market interest rate, increase the security&#8217;s
duration and reduce the value of the security. This is known as extension
risk.</font></div>

risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be
worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation
increases, the real value of the Fund&#8217;s shares and distributions thereon can
decline. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, dividend rates of
any variable rate preferred stock or debt securities issued by the Fund would
likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to common
shareholders.</font></div>

has valued the securities. Unregistered and illiquid securities often can be
resold only in privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of
purchasers or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Considerable delay could be encountered in either event and, unless otherwise
contractually provided for, the Fund&#8217;s proceeds upon sale may be reduced by the
costs of registration or underwriting discounts. The difficulties and delays
associated with such transactions could result in the Fund&#8217;s inability to
realize a favorable price upon disposition of unregistered securities, and at
times might make disposition of such securities impossible. In addition, the
Fund may be unable to sell other illiquid investments when it desires to do so,

non-diversified investment company, the Fund may invest in the securities of
individual issuers to a greater degree than a diversified investment company. As

April&#160;24, 2008, the Investment Adviser entered into an administrative
settlement with the SEC to resolve the SEC&#8217;s inquiry regarding prior frequent
trading activity in shares of the GAMCO Global Growth Fund (the &#8220;Global Growth
Fund&#8221;) by one investor who was banned from the Global Growth Fund in August
2002. In the settlement, the SEC found that the Investment Adviser had violated
Section&#160;206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act, Section&#160;17(d) of the
1940 Act and Rule&#160;17d-1 thereunder, and had aided and abetted and caused
violations of Section&#160;12(d)(1)(B)(i) of the 1940 Act. Under the terms of
the settlement, the Investment Adviser, while neither admitting nor denying the
SEC&#8217;s findings and allegations, agreed, among other things, to pay the
previously reserved total of $16&#160;million (including a $5&#160;million
penalty), of which at least $11&#160;million will be distributed to shareholders
of the Global Growth Fund in accordance with a plan developed by an independent
distribution consultant and approved by the independent directors of the Global
Growth Fund and the staff of the SEC, and to cease and desist from future
violations of the above referenced federal securities laws. The settlement will
not have a material adverse impact on the Investment Adviser or its ability to
fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. On the same
day, the SEC filed a civil action against the Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Investment Adviser, alleging violations of certain
federal securities laws arising from the same matter. The officer is also an
officer of the Fund, the Global Growth Fund and other funds in the Gabelli/GAMCO
fund complex. The officer denies the allegations and is continuing in his
positions with the Investment Adviser and the funds. The Investment Adviser
currently expects that any resolution of the action</font></div>

Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of
its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and
realized short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends
to make annual distributions of its realized capital gains (which is the excess
of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses). A portion of
the Fund&#8217;s distributions on its common shares for 2008 and subsequent periods
have included, or have been estimated to include, a return of capital. Any
return of capital that is a component of a distribution is not sourced from
realized gains of the Fund and that portion should not be considered by
investors as yield or total return on their investment in the Fund. The Fund
will pay common shareholders at least annually all, or at least 90%, of its
investment company taxable income. Various factors will affect the level of the
Fund&#8217;s income, such as its asset mix and use of option strategies. To permit the
Fund to maintain more stable monthly distributions, the Fund may from time to
time distribute less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular
period, which would be available to supplement future distributions. As a
result, the distributions paid by the Fund for any particular monthly period may
be more or less than the amount of income actually earned by the Fund during
that period. However, as the Fund is covered by an exemption from the 1940 Act
which allows the Board of Trustees to implement a managed distribution policy,
the Board of Trustees in the future may determine to cause the Fund to
distribute a fixed percentage of the Fund&#8217;s average net asset value or market
price per common share over a specified period of time at or about the time of
distribution or to distribute a fixed dollar amount. The Board of Trustees has
no present intention to implement such a policy. Because the Fund&#8217;s distribution
policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund&#8217;s income
will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay dividends or
distributions at a particular rate. See &#8220;Dividends and Distributions&#8221; in the

October&#160;16, 2007, the Fund completed the placement of $100&#160;million of
Preferred Shares consisting of 4&#160;million shares designated as Series&#160;A

preference. The Preferred Shares are senior to the common shares and result in
the financial leveraging of the common shares. Such leveraging tends to magnify
both the risks and opportunities to common shareholders. Dividends on the
Preferred Shares are cumulative. The Fund is required by the 1940 Act and by the
Statement of Preferences to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to
the Preferred Shares. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not
correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full,
the Preferred Shares at the redemption price of $25 per share plus an amount
equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such
shares in order to meet the requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the
foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund&#8217;s ability to pay
dividends to common shareholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities
at inopportune times. The income received on the Fund&#8217;s assets may vary in a
manner unrelated to the fixed rate, which could have either a beneficial or
detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to common

an auction for such shares will not be greater than the applicable &#8220;maximum
rate.&#8221; The maximum rate for any standard dividend period will be the greater of
the applicable percentage of the reference rate or the reference rate plus the
applicable spread. The reference rate will be the applicable LIBOR Rate (as
defined below) for a dividend period of fewer than 365&#160;days or the Treasury
Index Rate (as defined below) for a dividend period of 365&#160;days or more.
The applicable percentage and the applicable spread will be determined based on
the lower of the credit ratings assigned to such series of preferred shares by
Moody&#8217;s and S&amp;P on the auction date for such period (as set forth in the
table below). If Moody&#8217;s and/or S&amp;P do not make such rating available, the
rate will be determined by reference to equivalent ratings issued by a
substitute rating agency. In the case of a special dividend period, (1)&#160;the
Fund will communicate the maximum applicable rate in a notice of special rate
period for such dividend payment period, (2)&#160;the applicable percentage and
applicable spread will be determined on the date two business days before the
first day of such special dividend period and (3)&#160;the reference rate will
be the applicable LIBOR Rate for a dividend period of fewer than 365&#160;days
or the Treasury Index Rate for a dividend period of 365&#160;days or
more.</font></div>

any preferred shares are unpaid. The 1940 Act also requires that, in addition to
any approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of
the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately
as a class, would be required to (i)&#160;adopt any plan of reorganization that
would adversely affect the preferred shares, and (ii)&#160;take any action

Fund presently has provisions in its Governing Documents which could have the
effect of limiting, in each case, (i)&#160;the ability of other entities or
persons to acquire control of the Fund, (ii)&#160;the Fund&#8217;s freedom to engage
in certain transactions or (iii)&#160;the ability of the Fund&#8217;s Trustees or
shareholders to amend the Governing Documents or effectuate changes in the
Fund&#8217;s management. These provisions of the Governing Documents of the Fund may
be regarded as &#8220;anti-takeover&#8221; provisions. The Board of Trustees of the Fund is
divided into three classes, each having a term of no more than three years
(except, to ensure that the term of a class of the Fund&#8217;s Trustees expires each
year, one class of the Fund&#8217;s Trustees will serve an initial one-year term and
three-year terms thereafter and another class of its Trustees will serve an
initial two-year term and three-year terms thereafter). Each year the term of
one class of Trustees will expire. Accordingly, only those Trustees in one class
may be changed in any one year, and it would require a minimum of two years to
change a majority of the Board of Trustees. Such system of electing Trustees may
have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management and, thus, make it
more difficult for the shareholders of the Fund to change the majority of
Trustees. See &#8220;Management of the Fund&#8212;Trustees and Officers&#8221; in the SAI. A
trustee of the Fund may be removed with or without cause by two-thirds of the
remaining Trustees and, without cause, by 66 2 / 3 % of the votes entitled to be
cast for the election of such Trustees. Special voting requirements of 75% of
the outstanding voting shares (in addition to any required class votes) apply to
certain mergers or a sale of all or substantially all of the Fund&#8217;s assets,
liquidation, conversion of the Fund into an open-end fund or interval fund and
amendments to several provisions of the Declaration of Trust, including the
foregoing provisions. In addition, after completion of the offering, 80% of the
holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund voting as a class is
generally required in order to authorize any of the following
transactions:</font></div>

Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company (commonly
referred to as a closed-end fund). Closed-end funds differ from open-end funds
(which are generally referred to as mutual funds) in that closed-end funds
generally list their shares for trading on a stock exchange and do not redeem
their shares at the request of the shareholder. This means that if you wish to
sell your shares of a closed-end fund you must trade them on the market like any
other stock at the prevailing market price at that time. In a mutual fund, if
the shareholder wishes to sell shares of the fund, the mutual fund will redeem
or buy back the shares at &#8220;net asset value.&#8221; Also, mutual funds generally offer
new shares on a continuous basis to new investors, and closed-end funds
generally do not. The continuous inflows and outflows of assets in a mutual fund
can make it difficult to manage the fund&#8217;s investments. By comparison,
closed-end funds are generally able to stay more fully invested in securities
that are consistent with their investment objectives, to have greater
flexibility to make certain types of investments and to use certain investment
strategies such as financial leverage and investments in illiquid
securities.</font></div>

of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Because
of this possibility and the recognition that any such discount may not be in the
interest of shareholders, the Fund&#8217;s Board of Trustees might consider from time
to time engaging in open-market repurchases, tender offers for shares or other
programs intended to reduce a discount. We cannot guarantee or assure, however,
that the Fund&#8217;s Board of Trustees will decide to engage in any of these actions.
Nor is there any guarantee or assurance that such actions, if undertaken, would
result in the shares trading at a price equal or close to net asset value per
share. The Board of Trustees might also consider converting the Fund to an
open-end mutual fund, which would also require a supermajority vote of the
shareholders of the Fund and a separate vote of any outstanding preferred
shares. We cannot assure you that the Fund&#8217;s common shares will not trade at a
discount.</font></div>

Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and as such
its shareholders do not, and will not, have the right to require the Fund to
repurchase their shares. The Fund, however, may repurchase its common shares
from time to time as and when it deems such a repurchase advisable. The Board of
Trustees has authorized such repurchases to be made when the Fund&#8217;s common
shares are trading at a discount from net asset value of 7.5% or more (or such
other percentage as the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine from time to
time). Although the Board of Trustees has authorized such repurchases, the Fund
is not required to repurchase its common shares. The Board of Trustees has not
established a limit on the number of shares that could be purchased during such
period. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a
securities exchange (provided that the Fund has informed its shareholders within
the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant
to tenders and may also repurchase shares privately if the Fund meets certain
conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net income for the
preceding fiscal year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions,
prior notice to shareholders of an intention to purchase shares and purchasing
in a manner and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other
shareholders through their interest in the Fund.</font></div>

the sum of (i)&#160;98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any
capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii)&#160;98% of its capital
gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a
one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an
election is made to use the Fund&#8217;s fiscal year). In addition, the minimum
amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the excise tax will be
increased or decreased to reflect any under-distribution or over-distribution,
as the case may be, from the previous year. While the Fund intends to distribute
any income and capital gain in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of
the 4% excise tax, there can be no assurance that sufficient amounts of the

imposition of the excise tax. In that event, the Fund will be liable for the

is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;1940 Act&#8221;). The Fund&#8217;s
primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The
Fund&#8217;s secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent
with the Fund&#8217;s strategy and its primary objective. An investment in the Fund is

normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives by
investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies
principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries.
The Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of
companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication,
processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing,
controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#8220;gold-related&#8221; activities. In
addition, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or
distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and
agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related
transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the
securities of companies located anywhere in the world. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its assets in the securities of
issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S.&#160;As part of
its investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an option
strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on equity securities in its
portfolio. When the Fund sells a covered call option, it generates gains in the
form of the premium paid by the buyer of the call, but the Fund forgoes the
opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the underlying equity
security above the exercise price of the option. See &#8220;Investment Objectives and
Policies.&#8221;</font></div>

&#160;&#160;The Fund may invest in equity interests in Canadian Royalty Trusts.
A Canadian Royalty Trust is a royalty trust whose securities are generally
listed on a Canadian securities exchange and which controls an underlying
company whose business is the acquisition, exploitation, production and sale of
oil and natural gas. These trusts generally pay out to unitholders the majority
of the cash flow that they receive from the production and sale of underlying
oil and natural gas reserves. The amount of distributions paid on a Canadian
Royalty Trust&#8217;s units will vary from time to time based on production levels,
commodity prices, royalty rates and certain expenses, deductions and costs, as
well as on the distribution payout ratio policy adopted. As a result of
distributing the bulk of its cash flow to unitholders, the ability of a Canadian
Royalty Trust to finance internal growth through exploration is limited.
Therefore, Canadian Royalty Trusts typically grow through acquisition of
additional oil and gas properties or producing companies with proven reserves of
oil and gas, funded through the issuance of additional equity or, where the
trust is able, additional debt.</font></div>

(&#8220;MLPs&#8221;).</font> &#160;&#160;MLPs in which the Fund intends to invest will be
limited partnerships (or limited liability companies taxable as partnerships),
the units of which will generally be listed and traded on a U.S.&#160;securities
exchange. MLPs normally derive income and gains from the exploration,
development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation
(including pipeline transporting gas, oil, or products thereof), or the
marketing of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of
owners, the general partner and limited partners. When investing in an MLP, the
Fund intends to purchase publicly traded common units issued to limited partners
of the MLP. The general partner typically controls the operations and management
of the MLP. MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general
partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up
to an established minimum amount (&#8220;minimum quarterly distributions&#8221; or &#8220;MQD&#8221;).
Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to
the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have
been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however,
subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the
MQD paid to both common and subordinated units is distributed to both common and
subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also
eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the
business in a manner that results in distributions paid per common unit
surpassing specified target levels.</font></div>

&#160;&#160;The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets at the time of
investment in securities pursuant to &#8220;risk arbitrage&#8221; strategies or in other
investment funds managed pursuant to such strategies. Risk arbitrage investments
are made in securities of companies for which a tender or exchange offer has
been made or announced and in securities of companies for which a merger,
consolidation, liquidation or reorganization proposal has been announced if, in
the judgment of the Investment Adviser, there is a reasonable prospect of total
return significantly greater than the brokerage and other transaction expenses
involved. Risk arbitrage strategies attempt to exploit merger activity to
capture the spread between current market values of securities and their values
after successful completion of a merger, restructuring or similar corporate
transaction. Transactions associated with risk arbitrage strategies typically
involve the purchases or sales of securities in connection with announced
corporate actions which may include, but are not limited to, mergers,
consolidations, acquisitions, transfers of assets, tender offers, exchange
offers, re-capitalizations, liquidations, divestitures, spin-offs and similar
transactions. However, a merger or other restructuring or tender or exchange
offer anticipated by the Fund and in which it holds an arbitrage position may
not be completed on the terms contemplated or within the time frame anticipated,
resulting in losses to the Fund.</font></div>

general, securities which are the subject of such an offer or proposal sell at a
premium to their historic market price immediately prior to the announcement of
the offer but may trade at a discount or premium to what the stated or appraised
value of the security would be if the contemplated transaction were approved or
consummated. Such investments may be advantageous when the discount
significantly overstates the risk of the contingencies involved; significantly
undervalues the securities, assets or cash to be received by shareholders as a
result of the contemplated transaction; or fails adequately to recognize the
possibility that the offer or proposal may be replaced or superseded by an offer
or proposal of greater value. The evaluation of such contingencies requires
unusually broad knowledge and experience on the part of the Investment Adviser
which must appraise not only the value of the issuer and its component
businesses as well as the assets or securities to be received as a result of the
contemplated transaction but also the financial resources and business
motivation behind the offer and/or the dynamics and business climate when the
offer or proposal is in process. Since such investments are ordinarily
short-term in nature, they will tend to increase the turnover ratio of the Fund,
thereby increasing its brokerage and other transaction expenses. Risk arbitrage
strategies may also involve short selling, options hedging and other arbitrage
techniques to capture price differentials.</font></div>

a closing transaction if the price of the transaction is more than the premium

the option. Since call option prices generally reflect increases in the price of
the underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option
may also be wholly or partially offset by unrealized appreciation of the
underlying security. Other principal factors affecting the market value of a put
or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market
price and price volatility of the underlying security and the time remaining
until the expiration date. Gains and losses on investments in options depend, in
part, on the ability of the Investment Adviser to predict correctly the effect
of these factors. The use of options cannot serve as a complete hedge since the
price movement of securities underlying the options will not necessarily follow
the price movements of the portfolio securities subject to the

secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular option. In such

options on stocks except that, rather than the right to take or make delivery of

of which historically have a high degree of positive correlation to the values
of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities. Such a sale would have an effect similar to
selling an equivalent value of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities. If interest
rates increase, the value of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities will decline, but
the value of the futures contracts to the Fund will increase at approximately an
equivalent rate thereby keeping the net asset value of the Fund from declining
as much as it otherwise would have. The Fund could accomplish similar results by
selling debt securities with longer maturities and investing in debt securities
with shorter maturities when interest rates are expected to increase. However,
since the futures market may be more liquid than the cash market, the use of
futures contracts as a risk management technique allows the Fund to maintain a
defensive position without having to sell its portfolio securities.</font></div>

the Fund may purchase interest rate futures contracts when it is expected that
interest rates may decline. The purchase of futures contracts for this purpose
constitutes a hedge against increases in the price of debt securities (caused by
declining interest rates), which the Fund intends to acquire. Since fluctuations
in the value of appropriately selected futures contracts should approximate that
of the debt securities that will be purchased, the Fund can take advantage of
the anticipated rise in the cost of the debt securities without actually buying
them. Subsequently, the Fund can make its intended purchase of the debt
securities in the cash market and currently liquidate its futures position. To
the extent the Fund enters into futures contracts for this purpose, it will
maintain in a segregated asset account with the Fund&#8217;s Custodian, assets

the value of its portfolio against uncertainty in the level of future currency
exchange rates between a particular foreign currency and the U.S.&#160;dollar or
between foreign currencies in which its securities are or may be denominated.
The Fund may enter into such contracts on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the rate
then prevailing in the currency exchange market or on a forward basis by
entering into a forward contract to purchase or sell currency. A forward
contract on foreign currency is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific
currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days agreed upon by
the parties from the date of the contract at a price set on the date of the
contract. Forward currency contracts (i)&#160;are traded in a market conducted
directly between currency traders (typically, commercial banks or other
financial institutions) and their customers, (ii)&#160;generally have no deposit
requirements and (iii)&#160;are typically consummated without payment of any
commissions. The Fund, however, may enter into forward currency contracts
requiring deposits or involving the payment of commissions. To assure that its
forward currency contracts are not used to achieve investment leverage, the Fund
will segregate liquid assets consisting of cash, U.S.&#160;Government Securities
or other liquid securities with its Custodian, or a designated sub-custodian, in
an amount at all times equal to or exceeding its commitment with respect to the
contracts.</font></div>

hedging is the purchase or sale of one forward foreign currency for another
currency with respect to specific receivables or payables of the Fund accruing

payment of dividends and distributions. Position hedging is the purchase or sale
of one forward foreign currency for another currency with respect to portfolio
security positions denominated or quoted in the foreign currency to offset the
effect of an anticipated substantial appreciation or depreciation, respectively,
in the value of the currency relative to the U.S.&#160;dollar. In this
situation, the Fund also may, for example, enter into a forward contract to sell
or purchase a different foreign currency for a fixed U.S.&#160;dollar amount
when it is believed that the U.S.&#160;dollar value of the currency to be sold
or bought pursuant to the forward contract will fall or rise, as the case may
be, whenever there is a decline or increase, respectively, in the

such securities increases instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit
of the increased value of its securities because it will have offsetting losses

insufficient cash to meet daily variation margin requirements, it may have to
sell securities to meet the requirements. These sales may be, but will not

Instrument Risk.</font> &#160;&#160;The Fund may invest in structured notes that
are linked to one or more underlying commodities. Such structured notes provide
exposure to the investment returns of physical commodities without actually

Fund expects to invest are hybrid instruments that have substantial risks,
including risk of loss of all or a significant portion of their principal value.
Because the payouts on these notes are linked to the price change of the
underlying commodities, these investments are subject to market risks that
relate to the movement of prices in the commodities markets. They may also be
subject to additional special risks that do not affect traditional equity and

&#160;&#160;The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement is an instrument under which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) acquires a
debt security and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the
obligation at a mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the
yield during the purchaser&#8217;s holding period. This results in a fixed rate of
return insulated from market fluctuations during such period. The underlying
securities are ordinarily U.S.&#160;Treasury or other government obligations or
high quality money market instruments. The Fund will require that the value of
such underlying securities, together with any other collateral held by the Fund,
always equals or exceeds the amount of the repurchase obligations of the counter
party. The Fund&#8217;s risk is primarily that, if the seller defaults, the proceeds
from the disposition of the underlying securities and other collateral for the
seller&#8217;s obligation are less than the repurchase price. If the seller becomes
insolvent, the Fund might be delayed in or prevented from selling the
collateral. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a seller, the Fund will
promptly seek to liquidate the collateral. To the extent that the proceeds from
any sale of such collateral upon a default in the obligation to repurchase are
less than the repurchase price, the Fund will experience a loss.</font></div>

Securities.</font> &#160;&#160;Consistent with applicable regulatory

provisions described below), and are at all times secured by cash, cash
equivalents or other liquid securities which are maintained in a segregated
account pursuant to applicable regulations and that are at least equal to the
market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. The advantage of such
loans is that the Fund continues to receive the income on the loaned securities
while at the same time earns interest on the cash amounts deposited as
collateral, which will be invested in short-term obligations. The Fund will not
lend its portfolio securities if such loans are not permitted by the laws or
regulations of any state in which its shares are qualified for sale. The Fund&#8217;s
loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized in accordance with
applicable regulatory requirements and no loan will cause the value of all
loaned securities to exceed 20% of the value of the Fund&#8217;s total assets. The

loan may generally be terminated by the borrower on one business day notice, or
by the Fund on five business days notice. If the borrower fails to deliver the
loaned securities within five days after receipt of notice, the Fund could use
the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for
any excess of replacement cost over collateral. As with any extensions of
credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases even loss of
rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
However, these loans of portfolio securities will only be made to firms deemed
by the Investment Adviser to be creditworthy and when the income that can be
earned from such loans justifies the attendant risks. The Board of Trustees will
oversee the creditworthiness of the contracting parties on an ongoing basis.
Upon termination of the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities
to the Fund. Any gain or loss in the market price during the loan period would
inure to the Fund. The risks associated with loans of portfolio securities are
substantially similar to those associated with repurchase agreements. Thus, if
the counter party to the loan petitions for bankruptcy or becomes subject to the
United States Bankruptcy Code, the law regarding the rights of the Fund is
unsettled. As a result, under extreme circumstances, there may be a restriction
on the Fund&#8217;s ability to sell the collateral and the Fund would suffer a loss.
When voting or consent rights which accompany loaned securities pass to the
borrower, the Fund will follow the policy of calling the loaned securities, to
be delivered within one day after notice, to permit the exercise of such rights
if the matters involved would have a material effect on the Fund&#8217;s investment in
such loaned securities. The Fund will pay reasonable finder&#8217;s, administrative
and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities.</font></div>

significant (and possibly controlling) positions in the securities of companies

the Fund might invest may thereby be limited to some extent. For instance, many
companies in the past several years have adopted so-called &#8220;poison pill&#8221; or

pursuant to contemporaneous orders entered on behalf of the investment company
accounts of the Investment Adviser or the investment advisory accounts managed
by its affiliates for their unaffiliated clients are allocated pursuant to
procedures, approved by the Board of Trustees, believed to be fair and not
disadvantageous to any such accounts. In addition, all such orders are accorded

&#160;&#160;Portfolio managers may be able to select or influence the selection
of the brokers and dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for
the funds or accounts that they supervise. In addition to providing execution of
trades, some brokers and dealers provide portfolio managers with brokerage and
research services which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than
might otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain
funds or accounts than to others. Although the payment of brokerage commissions
is subject to the requirement that the portfolio manager determine in good faith
that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided to the fund, a portfolio manager&#8217;s decision as to
the selection of brokers and dealers could yield disproportionate costs and
benefits among the funds or other accounts that he or she manages. In addition,
with respect to certain types of accounts (such as pooled investment vehicles
and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals) the Investment
Adviser may be limited by the client concerning the selection of brokers or may
be instructed to direct trades to particular brokers. In these cases, the
Investment Adviser or its affiliates may place separate, non-simultaneous
transactions in the same security for a fund and another account that may
temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the
transaction, or both, to the detriment of the fund or the other
accounts.</font></div>

&#160;&#160;A conflict of interest may arise where the financial or other
benefits available to the portfolio manager differ among the funds or accounts
that he or she manages. If the structure of the Investment Adviser&#8217;s management
fee or the portfolio manager&#8217;s compensation differs among funds or accounts
(such as where certain funds or accounts pay higher management fees or
performance-based management fees), the portfolio manager may be motivated to
favor certain funds or accounts over others. The portfolio manager also may be
motivated to favor funds or accounts in which he or she has an investment
interest, or in which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates have investment
interests. Similarly, the desire to maintain assets under management or to
enhance a portfolio manager&#8217;s performance record or to derive other rewards,
financial or otherwise, could influence the portfolio manager in affording
preferential treatment to those funds or other accounts that could most
significantly benefit the portfolio manager.</font></div>

based variable compensation based on a percentage of net revenues received by
the Investment Adviser for managing the Fund to the extent that it exceeds a
minimum level of compensation. This method of compensation is based on the
premise that superior long-term performance in managing a portfolio will be
rewarded through growth of assets through appreciation and cash flow. Incentive
based equity compensation is based on an evaluation of quantitative and
qualitative performance evaluation criteria. Mr.&#160;Hugonnard-Roche also may
receive a discretionary bonus based primarily on qualitative performance
evaluation criteria.</font></div>

party for legitimate business purposes or regulatory purposes, that has agreed
to keep such data confidential under terms approved by the Investment Adviser&#8217;s
legal department or outside counsel, as described below. The Investment Adviser
will examine each situation under (b) with a view to determine that release of
the information is in the best interest of the Fund and their shareholders and,
if a potential conflict between the Investment Adviser&#8217;s interests and the
Fund&#8217;s interests arises, to have such conflict resolved by the Chief Compliance
Officer or those Directors who are not considered to be &#8220;interested persons&#8221;, as
defined in the 1940 Act (the &#8220;&#8217;Independent Directors&#8221;). These policies further
provide that no officer of the Fund or employee of the Investment Adviser shall
communicate with the media about the Fund without obtaining the advance consent
of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, or General Counsel of
the Investment Adviser.</font></div>

the extent the Fund&#8217;s total distributions for a year exceed its net investment
company taxable income (interest, dividends and net short-term capital gains in
excess of expenses) and net realized long-term capital gains for that year, the
excess would generally constitute a tax-free return of capital up to the amount
of a shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the common shares. Any distributions which
(based upon the Fund&#8217;s full year performance) constitute a tax-free return of
capital would reduce a shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the common shares, thereby
increasing such shareholder&#8217;s potential gain or reducing his or her potential
loss on the sale of the common shares. Any amounts distributed to a shareholder
in excess of the basis in the common shares would generally be taxable to the
shareholder as capital gain. See &#8220;Taxation.&#8221; Distribution notices provided by
the Fund to its shareholders will clearly indicate what portion of each
distribution would constitute net income, net capital gains, and return of
capital based on information available to the Fund for the relevant period at
the time the distribution is declared. The final determination of the source of
such distributions for federal income tax purposes will be made shortly after
year end based on the Fund&#8217;s actual net investment company taxable income and
net capital gain for that year and would be communicated to shareholders
promptly. In the event that the Fund distributes amounts in excess of its
investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such distributions will
decrease the Fund&#8217;s total assets and, therefore, have the likely effect of
increasing the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio, as the Fund&#8217;s fixed expenses will become a
larger percentage of the Fund&#8217;s average net assets. In addition, in order to
make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment
portfolio at a time when independent investment judgment may not dictate such
action.</font></div>

However, Gabelli&#160;&amp; Company, Inc. may execute transactions in the
over-the-counter markets on an agency basis and receive a stated commission
therefrom. To the extent consistent with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act
and the rules and exemptions adopted by the SEC thereunder, as well as other
regulatory requirements, the Fund&#8217;s Board of Trustees has determined that
portfolio transactions may be executed through Gabelli&#160;&amp; Company, Inc.
and its broker-dealer affiliates if, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser,
the use of those broker-dealers is likely to result in price and execution at
least as favorable as those of other qualified broker-dealers, and if, in
particular transactions, the affiliated broker-dealers charge the Fund a rate
consistent with that charged to comparable unaffiliated customers in similar
transactions and comparable to rates charged by other broker-dealers for similar
transactions. The Fund has no obligations to deal with any broker or group of
brokers in executing transactions in portfolio securities. In executing
transactions, the Investment Adviser seeks to obtain the best price and
execution for the Fund, taking into account such factors as price, size of
order, difficulty of execution and operational facilities of the firm involved
and the firm&#8217;s risk in positioning a block of securities. While the Investment
Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive commission rates, the Fund does
not necessarily pay the lowest commission available.</font></div>

turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of an investment company&#8217;s
annual sales or purchases of portfolio securities by the monthly average value
of securities in its portfolio during the year, excluding portfolio securities
the maturities of which at the time of acquisition were one year or less. A high
rate of portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater brokerage commission
expense than a lower rate, which expense must be borne by the Fund and
indirectly by its shareholders. The portfolio turnover rate may vary from year
to year and will not be a factor when the Investment Adviser determines that
portfolio changes are appropriate. For example, an increase in the Fund&#8217;s
participation in risk arbitrage situations would increase the Fund&#8217;s portfolio
turnover rate. A higher rate of portfolio turnover may also result in taxable
gains being passed to shareholders sooner than would otherwise be the case. The
investment policies of the Fund, including its strategy of writing covered call
options on securities in its portfolio, is expected to result in portfolio
turnover that is higher than that of other investment companies, and is expected
to be higher than 100%. For the fiscal periods ended December&#160;31, 2008 and
2009, the portfolio turnover rates were 41.5%

U.S.&#160;tax classification of the Canadian Royalty Trusts in which the Fund
invests and the types of income that the Fund receives may have an impact on the
Fund&#8217;s ability to qualify as a regulated investment company. In particular,
securities issued by certain Canadian Royalty Trusts (such as Canadian Royalty
Trusts which are grantor trusts for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may not
produce &#8220;qualified&#8221; income for purposes of determining the Fund&#8217;s compliance
with the tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies. Additionally,
the Fund may be deemed to directly own the assets of each Canadian Royalty
Trust, and would need to look to such assets when determining the Fund&#8217;s
compliance with the asset diversification rules applicable to regulated
investment companies. To the extent that the Fund holds such securities
indirectly through investments in a taxable subsidiary formed by the Fund, those
securities may produce &#8220;qualified&#8221; income. However, the net return to the Fund
on such investments would be reduced to the extent that the subsidiary is
subject to corporate income taxes. The Fund shall monitor its investments in the
Canadian Royalty Trusts with the objective of maintaining its continued

short-term capital gain or loss. If a call option written by the Fund is
exercised, thereby requiring the Fund to sell the underlying security, the
premium will increase the amount realized upon the sale of the security and any
resulting gain or loss will be long-term or short-term, depending upon the
holding period of the security. With respect to a put or call option that is
purchased by the Fund, if the option is sold, any resulting gain or loss will be
a capital gain or loss, and will be short-term or long-term, depending upon the
holding period for the option. If the option expires, the resulting loss is a
capital loss and is short-term or long-term, depending upon the holding period

of a call option, is added to the basis of the purchased security and, in the

foreign corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States or in
certain countries with a qualifying comprehensive tax treaty with the United
States, or whose stock with respect to which such dividend is paid is readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States). A qualified
foreign corporation does not include a foreign corporation that for the taxable
year of the corporation in which the dividend was paid, or the preceding taxable
year, is a &#8220;passive foreign investment company,&#8221; as defined in the Code. If the
Fund lends portfolio securities, the amount received by the Fund that is the
equivalent of the dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned will not
be eligible for qualified dividend income treatment.</font></div>

of net capital gain designated as capital gain distributions, if any, are
taxable to shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gain, whether
paid in cash or in stock, and regardless of how long the shareholder has held
the Fund&#8217;s common shares. Capital gain distributions are not eligible for the
dividends received deduction. The maximum U.S.&#160;federal tax rate on net
long-term capital gain of individuals is generally 15% (5% for individuals in
lower brackets) for such gain realized before January&#160;1, 2011. Unrecaptured
Section&#160;1250 gain distributions, if any, will be subject to a 25% tax. For
non-corporate taxpayers, investment company taxable income (other than qualified
dividend income) will currently be taxed at a maximum rate of 35%, while net
capital gain generally will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. For corporate
taxpayers, both investment company taxable income and net capital gain are taxed
at a maximum rate of 35%.</font></div>

Fund and the Investment Adviser have adopted a code of ethics. This code of
ethics sets forth restrictions on the trading activities of Trustees/directors,
officers and employees of the Fund, the Investment Adviser and their affiliates.
For example, such persons may not purchase any security for which the Fund has a
purchase or sale order pending, or for which such trade is under consideration.
In addition, those trustees/directors, officers and employees that are
principally involved in investment decisions for client accounts are prohibited
from purchasing or selling for their own account for a period of seven days a
security that has been traded for a client&#8217;s account, unless such trade is
executed on more favorable terms for the client&#8217;s account and it is determined
that such trade will not adversely affect the client&#8217;s account. Short-term
trading by such Trustee/directors, officers and employees for their own accounts
in securities held by a Fund client&#8217;s account is also restricted. The above
examples are subject to certain exceptions and they do not represent all of the
trading restrictions and policies set forth by the code of ethics. The code of

have a fiduciary duty to put the client's interests first.&#160;&#160;In
particular, you are reminded that investment opportunities must be offered first
to clients before the firm or staff may act on them. This is one of the
important objectives that the procedures set forth in this Code are intended to
accomplish.&#160;&#160;The rest of the rules elaborate this
principle.&#160;&#160;Some of the rules are imposed specifically by
law.&#160;&#160;For example, the laws that govern investment advisers
specifically prohibit fraudulent activity, making statements that are not true
or that are misleading or omit something that is significant in the context and
engaging in manipulative practices.&#160;&#160;These are general words, of
course, and over the years the courts, the regulators and investment advisers
have interpreted these words and established codes of conduct for their
employees and others who have access to their investment decisions and trading
activities.&#160;&#160;Indeed, the rules obligate investment advisers to adopt
written rules that are reasonably designed to prevent the illegal activities
described above and must follow procedures that will enable them to prevent such
activities.</font></div>
