Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust

The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. It invests in sectors, such as financial services, energy and utilities, food and beverage, telecommunications, consumer products and healthcare. The company was founded on November 18, 2003 and is headquartered in Rye, NY.

The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust provides a more value-oriented portfolio, and its discount presents a buying opportunity for the long-term investor. The GDV closed-end fund has paid a consistent monthly distribution for most of its life, with cuts only occurring during the GFC. The fund is modestly leveraged, but with most of that leverage being from preferred with fixed-rate dividends, they aren't having to deal with ballooning interest expenses.

GDV is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in dividend-paying or income-producing securities. The fund has a significant exposure to the Financials sector (currently at 14.3%), but holds better quality collateral than other financials CEFs.

GDV: Less Financial Risk Than Meets The Eye

The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust is a closed-end fund that focuses on investing in dividend-paying stocks to generate a high level of income. The GDV closed-end fund has underperformed the S&P 500 Index since February, and its financial sector exposure may be one reason for this. The fund's leverage ratio is acceptable, and its distribution has been maintained, but its sustainability is uncertain due to reliance on unrealized gains.
