GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Closed-End – David Schachter, Senior Vice President of Gabelli Funds, will travel to the United Kingdom to visit selected investment trusts.

With over 40 years of experience exclusively with retail, long term, closed-end fund investors, Mr. Schachter, a most senior and experienced veteran of the U.S. Closed-End Fund industry, is also Vice President of The GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust (GNT), which trades on the NYSE.

During the 19^th century, capital was raised through closed-end funds. These funds helped build the railroads, which linked the American continent from sea to sea and led to the nation’s economic success.

Today, in the early 21^st century, closed-end funds are being threatened for elimination by hedged activists for short-term and short-sighted value extraction.

“Closed-end funds are a metaphor for long-term, patient capital, but they also represent freedom for investors who, in a sector where mass redemptions could force portfolio managers to sell, is an essential ability to those who may not want to be herded into selling.”

Mr. Schachter plans to visit the Gabelli office as well as the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) and speak with interested U.K. investors.

Financial professionals and investors are invited to contact Mr. Schachter directly at (914) 921-5057.
