GDL FUND — Investor Relations & Filings
The GDL Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve absolute returns in various market conditions without an excessive risk of capital. To pursue this goal, it employs an event-driven strategy, primarily investing in securities of companies involved in publicly announced mergers, tender offers, and other corporate reorganizations. By focusing on these special situations, the Fund aims to generate returns that are not highly correlated with the broader equity or fixed-income markets. It invests globally across a variety of sectors.
