Gabelli Direct Investments brings our skills, network and expertise to enhance the success of your business. Our group seeks to partner with owners and management in an effort to establish shared goals, bring support to restructuring and growth processes, and augment industry insights with creative capital markets solutions.

The Gabelli approach is to establish long term partnerships utilizing the resources of our organization to facilitate a full cycle of advice and investment in a Merchant Investment Advisory context for your company’s future. In 2017 we formed Gabelli Private Equity Partners (GPEP) with initial funding of $150 million to augment investments in conjunction with broader capital syndication for our clients. GPEP is organized to focus on growth opportunities, leveraged buyouts, and restructurings of small and mid-sized companies. This structure allows for Gabelli Merchant Investment Partners to be creative and nimble with no pre-determined exit time table. We focus on businesses with existing growth potential by helping improve their capabilities, teaming up portfolio companies for strategic expansions, and transforming the businesses through M&A opportunities.
