Fixed Compensation

  • Fund proxy discloses compensation for Directors and “officers, if any, who were compensated by the Fund rather than the Adviser”; the 2024 table lists one officer (Carter W. Austin) and does not list Peter Goldstein, indicating Goldstein’s compensation is paid by the adviser, not the Fund .
  • No disclosure of base salary, target bonus %, actual bonus, or cash perquisites for Goldstein at the Fund level; officers’ compensation is handled by the adviser complex (GAMCO/Associated Capital) and not reported in the Fund proxy .

Performance Compensation

  • No disclosures of RSUs/PSUs, stock options, performance metrics/weightings, or vesting schedules for Goldstein in the Fund proxy; officers’ equity awards (if any) would be at the adviser entities and are not reported at the Fund level .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Reported beneficial ownership in GGT is zero in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting limited direct equity alignment at the Fund level for Goldstein .
  • Insider selling pressure: With zero reported holdings, there is no implied near‑term selling pressure from Goldstein’s personal stake in the Fund .
  • Pay‑for‑performance visibility: The Fund proxy indicates officers are generally compensated by the adviser rather than the Fund, and does not disclose salary/bonus/equity awards or performance metrics for Goldstein—limiting the ability to assess his pay-for-performance linkage at the Fund level .
  • Role‑specific execution risk: Goldstein’s portfolio of legal/compliance leadership roles at GAMCO/Associated Capital and prior Buckingham entities points to a governance/regulatory execution focus rather than financial or investment P&L accountability at the Fund, shaping how investors should interpret his influence on Fund outcomes .
