The Intermediate Bond Fund focuses on investment grade bonds of domestic corporations and governments. Investment grade debt securities are securities rated in the four highest ratings categories by a NRSRO.</p><p>Although there are no restrictions on the maximum or minimum maturity of any individual security that the Intermediate Bond Fund may invest in, generally the Intermediate Bond Fund will have a dollar weighted average maturity of three to ten years. The Intermediate Bond Fund may also invest in other types of investment grade debt securities, including debentures, notes, convertible debt securities, municipal securities, mortgage-related securities, and certain collateralized and asset-backed securities. The Intermediate Bond Fund will seek to maintain an average rating of AA or better by Standard &#038; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill Companies, (&#8220;Standard &#038; Poor&#8217;s&#8221;), or comparable quality for the securities in its portfolio.</p><p>In selecting securities for the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Sub-Adviser focuses both on the fundamentals of particular issuers and yield curve positioning. The Sub-Adviser seeks to earn risk-adjusted returns superior to those of the Barclays Capital Government/Corporate Bond Index over time. The Sub-Adviser invests 80% to 100% of the Fund&#8217;s assets in debt securities and the remainder in cash or cash equivalents.

Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of the portfolio&#8217;s debt securities generally declines. The magnitude of the decline will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than shorter-term debt securities.

For purposes of this Prospectus, we have included the Fund's old broad based benchmark, its new broad based benchmark - the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index - and its old benchmark - 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital Government/Corporate Bond Index. Going forward, we will show the Fund's performance against components of the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index and the S&P 500 Index, rather than the Barclays Capital Government/Corporate Bond Index, as the Adviser believes the Barclays Capital Government/Corporate Bond Index is no longer an appropriate broad based benchmark for the Fund. The Adviser believes the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index is a better broad based benchmark because of the Index's small exposure to corporate bonds, which is more representative of the Fund's investment strategy. 2Effective January 31, 2011, the Fund is changing its broad based benchmark from the Barclays Capital Government/Corporate Bond Index to the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index.

A Money Market Fund should show only the returns described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also shouldshow the returns of an appropriate broadbased securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield. For a Fund (other than a Money Market Fund or a Fund described in General Instruction C.3.(d)(iii)), provide the information in the following table with the specified captions AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (For the periods ended December 31, _____). For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by paragraph (c)(2)(i) (e.g., by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance).Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iv -Subsection b falsefalsePerformance Table Narrative126Risk/Return Summary - Gamco Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund (Class AAA) (GAMCO Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund [Member], Prospectus, Class AAA Shares [Member])UnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
