Comments and Responses

1. The line graph for Gabelli Value 25 Fund, Inc. Class A shares appears to begin at a $10K initial investment. The current prospectus notes a sales charge. Explain why the line graph does not conform to rule N1-A instructions 1 and 2, item 27b.

Response: The line graph for Gabelli Value 25 Fund, Inc. Class A in the annual report dated December 31, 2021 should have reflected the impact of the sales charge. The registrant will ensure that such sales charges will be reflected in future graphs.

1. Please explain in correspondence how Gabelli Gold Fund, Inc. meets the diversification requirement as individual investments representing greater than 5% of total assets, are greater than 25% of total assets.

Response: Gabelli Gold Fund, Inc. has certain holdings that are currently each over 5% of total assets. This is due to appreciation of the securities’ value including the results of merger activity within the gold sector, or due to a reduction of the Fund’s total assets, which result in a position becoming a larger portion of total assets. The portfolio manager of Gabelli Gold Fund, Inc. understands the diversification rule, and will not buy additional shares of securities with greater than 5% positions. Independently, the Advisor’s compliance department monitors the Fund’s daily trade activity to ensure no additional shares are purchased in greater than 5% positions. As a result, the Gabelli Gold Fund, Inc. is not in violation of the diversification rule.

1. Please explain in correspondence why there is no footnote explaining how asset coverage was calculated, in the Financial Highlights of Gabelli Global Small and Mid Cap Value Trust.

Response: The Financial Highlights of Gabelli Global Small and Mid Cap Value Trust as of December 31, 2021 should have included a footnote stating “Asset coverage per share is calculated by combining all series of preferred shares.” The registrant will ensure that such footnote is presented in future Financial Highlights.

1. Please describe in correspondence what “Payable to bank” liability in the statement of assets and liabilities was used for on Gabelli Value 25 Fund, Inc. Gabelli Value 25 Fund, Inc. does not have access to a line of credit, while Gabelli Global Rising Income and Dividend Fund has access to the line of credit, but did not use it.

Response: The “Payable to bank” liability in the Gabelli Value 25 Fund, Inc.’s statement of assets and liabilities in the annual report dated December 31, 2021 was a cash overdraft at its custodian bank.

1. Please describe in correspondence the frequency with which “Receivable from Adviser” in the statement of assets and liabilities is settled. Include in the discussion whether settlement terms are the same terms as “Payable to Adviser”. [Examples: Gabelli Focused Growth and Income Fund; Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund; Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund; Gabelli Dividend Growth Fund; Gabelli International Growth Fund, Inc; Gabelli Value 25 Fund Inc.; Gabelli Global Content and Connectivity

Fund; Gabelli Global Growth Fund; Gabelli Global Rising Income and Dividend Fund; Gabelli International Small Cap Fund; and Gabelli Global Mini Mites Fund.]

Response: The amounts labeled “Receivable from Adviser” in the statements of assets and liabilities for the funds are settled on a monthly basis. These are similar to the settlement terms for the amounts “Payable to Adviser”.

1. Please confirm in correspondence that the response to item C11 is correct in Form N-CEN filed 12/13/2021 for Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund.

Response: Item C11 in form N-CEN filed December 13, 2021 for Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund should have stated that Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. provided pricing services during the period. The registrant will ensure that the pricing vendor is presented in future form N-CEN filings.

1. Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund is noted as “Global Financial Services Fund” in the audit opinion in the annual report dated September 30, 2021. Confirm the correct name will be used in future audit opinions.

Response: The Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund confirms that the correct fund name will be used in future audit opinions.

1. Each fund has been identified in its respective annual report or registration statement as non-diversified, but each fund appears to be operating as a diversified fund. If a fund has been operating as a diversified fund for longer than three years, please confirm in correspondence that such fund will receive shareholder approval before changing back to non-diversified. Applies to: Gabelli Focused Growth and Income Fund; Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund; Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund; Gabelli Global Rising Income and Dividend Fund; Gabelli International Small Cap Fund; Gabelli Global Mini Mites Fund; and Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc.

Response: Gabelli Focused Growth and Income Fund and Gabelli Global Mini Mites Fund have each been operating as a non-diversified investment company. Each of the other funds referenced (Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund; Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund; Gabelli Global Rising Income and Dividend Fund; Gabelli International Small Cap Fund; and Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc.) has been operating as a diversified investment company. In the event a fund wants to become a non-diversified fund, it will first seek shareholder approval.

1. Each fund had exposure to derivatives during the respective fiscal year ends. The management discussion of fund performance (“MDFP”) does not discuss the impact of

derivatives on each fund. If performance was materially affected by the derivative exposure, there should be a discussion of the impact included in the MDFP. Please explain why there was no discussion of this in the MDFP, or confirm that the derivatives exposure had no material effect on the performance of the fund. [Examples: Gabelli Global Financial Services Fund; Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund; Gabelli ABC Fund; Gabelli Global Content and Connectivity Fund; GDL Fund; and Gabelli Utility Trust.]

Response: Each fund that utilized derivatives during its respective fiscal year incurred expenses relating to these derivatives that were not material to fund performance, and as such were not discussed in the Management Discussion of Fund Performance.

1. Gabelli Focused Growth and Income Fund changed its primary benchmark from the one used in its preceding fiscal year. Please explain in correspondence how the fund complied with Form N1-A, instruction 7 to 27(b)ii.

Response: The primary benchmark for Gabelli Focused Growth and Income Fund did not change from its preceding fiscal year. In both fiscal years the primary benchmark was S&P MidCap 400 Index, which was shown in the “Comparative Results” tables in the annual reports as of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021, and was also shown in the Fund’s prospectuses dated January 28, 2020 and January 28, 2021. The fund notes, however, that the MDFPs in the 2020 and 2021 annual reports reference other benchmarks. Going forward, the fund will ensure that the MDFP only references the fund’s primary benchmark.

1. According to the statements of changes, each fund had a return of capital distribution. Confirm that no reference to yield or dividend was made when describing distributions that contain a return of capital: in marketing materials, financial statement disclosures, and/or the web site, as those terms may be misinterpreted as income. Applies to: Gabelli Equity Income Fund; Gabelli Growth Fund; Gabelli Utilities Fund; GDL Fund; and Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc.

Response: Each fund confirms that no reference to “yield” or “dividend” is made when describing distributions that contain a return of capital, in marketing materials, financial statement disclosures, or web site.

Gabelli ESG Fund, Inc. and Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust have the same question, but do not have access to the line of credit.

Response: The line item labeled “Interest expense” in each fund’s statement of operations relates to interest charged on overdraft balances at the custodian bank, and where applicable, interest charged under the line of credit, when a borrowing is made from the line of credit.
