Dow Jones Description

General American Investors Company, Inc. is one of the nation's oldest closed-end funds. For 80 years, we have internally managed a global portfolio of investments, consisting principally of common stocks of U. S. companies but also including international and private securities. As a closed-end fund, shares of our Common Stock are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Thus, our asset base is not as subject to wide fluctuations due to shifts in investor sentiment as is the asset base of an open-end (mutual) fund. This stability has enabled us to diligently pursue our long-term analytical approach and, we believe, has contributed to our superior long-term investment results.
