RYE, N.Y, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE:GGT) (the “Fund”) approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions, reflective of the strength of the Fund's NAV total return of 38% in 2025. The 2026 annual distribution of $0.88 per share currently equates to a 21% “cash on cash” distribution.

The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (GGT) preferreds (GGT.PR.E, GGT.PR.G) offer over 6% current yield and trade below par.

GGT.PR.E and GGT.PR.G pay qualified dividends and are backed by a diversified portfolio of 231 holdings.

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE:GGT) (the “Fund”) approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions, reflective of the strength of the Fund's NAV total return of 33% year to date.  The 2025 annual distribution of $0.88 per share currently equates to a 22% “cash on cash” distribution.

The Gabelli Multimedia Trust is rated Sell due to its high expense ratio, weak risk-adjusted returns, and lack of portfolio concentration. GGT's 2.2% expense ratio far exceeds passive alternatives like XLC and VOX, yet its active management and leverage have not delivered superior performance. GGT's highly diversified portfolio dilutes conviction in top ideas, contrasting with more concentrated, better-performing sector ETFs like VOX.

RYE, N.Y., Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc.

We closed out the first half of 2025, making it an appropriate time to give the overall CEF space a fresh look for potential opportunities. As the broader equity indexes have been performing quite well, discounts in the CEF space have narrowed overall. The best relative value more broadly is in the municipal bond space and the "hybrid" funds.

Any investor who thinks CEF valuations don't matter and that a fund's yield is what's most important probably doesn't understand how distributions in CEFs work. When you see articles that promote uber high yields in funds, i.e. 12% to 50% even, know that the price of the fund is first reduced by the distribution amount. That's true for stocks, ETFs and even mutual funds. So until the dividend or distribution is made up, the yield you think you're getting is actually awash.
