GABELLI DIVIDEND & INCOME TRUST

GDV is a closed-end equity mutual fund managed by Gabelli Funds, LLC, a subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. The fund invests primarily in dividend-paying stocks across diversified sectors of the U.S. public equity markets. Its investment strategy focuses on identifying companies with established dividend-paying capabilities, with portfolio performance benchmarked against a combination of the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index.

The fund was established in November 2003 and operates as a Delaware-incorporated investment company. Revenue is generated through management fees charged to investors on assets under management. As a closed-end fund structure, GDV issues a fixed number of shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, distinguishing it from open-end mutual funds that allow continuous share issuance and redemption.

The fund maintains approximately $2.6 billion in market capitalization and distributes regular dividends to shareholders. As an investment vehicle rather than an operating company, GDV does not maintain traditional employee counts or operating revenues comparable to typical corporations. Its operations are conducted by Gabelli Funds, LLC, headquartered in Rye, New York.
