Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Sections 9(b) and 9(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940
On April 24, 2008, the SEC instituted settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against Gabelli Funds LLC. According to the SEC: "This is a proceeding against Gabelli Funds, an investment adviser to mutual funds, based upon its undisclosed market-timing agreement in which it permitted a hedge fund investment manager based in the United Kingdom (the 'U.K. hedge fund manager') to market time a mutual fund managed by Gabelli Funds from September 1999 to August 2002 while Gabelli Funds otherwise monitored for and rejected market-timing purchases from other investors of the mutual fund. Approximately six months after the market timing commenced, Gabelli Funds also allowed the U.K. hedge fund manager to increase its market-timing capacity in exchange for the U.K. hedge fund manager's long-term investment in an affiliated hedge fund."
