Company overview
The Gabelli Equity Trust owns company shares for long-term appreciation, with dividend income as a secondary source. Its managed payments can draw on realized gains, so the cash rate alone does not tell investors what the portfolio earned.

How the business works
Company dividends after fund costs and preferred-share claims become net investment income attributable to common shares. Stock gains, losses and changing values affect distributions and net asset value separately.
