The inductees to the Hall of Fame are: Sergio Marchionne of CNH Industrial NV, Larry Young of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., Ken Lowe of Scripps Network Interactive Inc., and Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co.

In 1990, Gabelli Funds established the GAMCO Management Hall of Fame to honor corporate executives for their outstanding contributions in enhancing shareholder value. The selection process starts with the firm’s research on the company. Each inductee has passed rigorous criteria, including:

• creating shareholder wealth
• earning a superior rate of return over the long term
• practicing the virtues of capital accumulation
• enhancing our clients’ investment success

This Hall of Fame follows the philosophical underpinnings of Gabelli Funds’ fundamental research, as presented in Security Analysis (1934) by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. It is the investment bible, the key to unlocking values in the stock market. In Security Analysis, Graham and Dodd presented principles and techniques to measure asset value and cash flows in a methodology to evaluate individual companies. They created the profession of security analysis using an investment process that is known today as value investing.
