Mario Gabelli founded the investment firm Gabelli, which manages several mutual funds that are organized into three groups of equity, fixed income and convertible funds. The company sticks to a fundamental, bottom-up stock picking methodology that focuses on identifying companies trading at prices below their intrinsic value. It has a team of over 30 sector-specific analysts covering virtually every sector and market, making it a compelling investment option.
We have chosen three Gabelli mutual funds, Gabelli Global Financial Services (GAFSX - Free Report) , Gabelli International Small Cap (GOCAX - Free Report) and Gabelli Gold (GOLDX - Free Report) , which investors should buy now for the long term. These funds have a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), positive three-year and five-year annualized returns, minimum initial investments within $5000 and expense ratios considerably lower than the category average. So, these funds have provided a comparatively stronger performance and carry a lower fee.
