PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the shareholders of RENN Fund, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Fund"). The Fund's Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the offices of Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, 470 Park Avenue South, 3^rd Floor South, New York, NY 10016 on Thursday, September 15, 2022, at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Standard time, and at any adjournment(s). The Annual Meeting will also be held in a virtual format conducted via live audio webcast. This Proxy Statement is being sent to Shareholders on or about

[ ].

The accompanying proxy card is designed to permit each shareholder to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on, the proposals described in this Proxy Statement (collectively, the "Proposals"). When a shareholder's executed proxy card specifies a choice with respect to a voting matter, the shares will be voted accordingly. If no specifications are made, then the proxy will be voted by the persons serving as proxies at the Meeting FOR the Proposals:

1. to elect Russell Cleveland as a Class Three Director of the Fund, who is to hold office for a term of three (3) years or until his successor is elected and qualified;

2. to elect Murray Stahl as a Class Three Director of the Fund, who is to hold office for a term of three (3) years or until his successor is elected and qualified;

3. to ratify the appointment by the Fund's Board of Directors of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, as the auditor of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

4. to transact any and all other business that may properly be presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s).

The Board of Directors encourages shareholders to participate in the Annual Meeting either in person or virtually by registering in advance through the following link: [ ]

Once registered, an email will be sent containing instructions on how to join the webinar either through the Internet or an audio connection. Shareholders will be able to listen, vote, and submit questions from any location. Questions may also be submitted in advance and emailed to rennfund@horizonkinetics.com. Executing and returning the accompanying proxy card will not affect a shareholder's right to attend the Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who was given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by giving written notice of revocation prior to the date of the meeting to Corporate Secretary, RENN Fund, Inc., c/o Horizon Kinetics Asset Management, LLC, 470 Park Avenue South, 3^rd Floor South, New York, NY 10016, by executing and delivering a later-dated proxy. No revocation notice or later-dated proxy, however, will be effective until received by the Fund at, or prior to, the Annual Meeting. Revocation will not affect a vote on any matters taken prior to the receipt of the revocation. Mere in person or virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke the proxy.

3 

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, officers and Directors of the Fund and officers, directors, and employees of the Adviser may solicit the return of proxies by personal interview, mail, telephone, and facsimile. These persons will not receive additional compensation for their services, but will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC. After the date of this Proxy Statement, but prior to the date of the Annual Meeting, the Fund may engage a proxy solicitation firm at a cost to be negotiated but paid for by Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will be requested by the Fund to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares. Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC will pay all costs of solicitation.

You may obtain copies of the Fund's proxy materials and of its Annual Shareholders Report for the year ended December 31, 2021, from the Fund's website at https://horizonkinetics.com/products/closed-end-funds/renn/ or you may call American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent, at (800) 937-5449, and request that a copy be mailed to you free of charge.

The Fund's principal offices are located at 470 Park Avenue South, 3^rd Floor South, New York, New York 10016, which is the current address of Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC. Shareholders will be allowed entry into this location, or may participate virtually at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions contained herein.

PURPOSES OF THE MEETING

At the Annual Meeting, Shareholders will consider and vote upon the following matters:

1. to elect Russell Cleveland as a Class Three Director of the Fund, who is to hold office for a term of three (3) years or until his successor is elected and qualified;

2. to elect Murray Stahl as a Class Three Director of the Fund, who is to hold office for a term of three (3) years or until his successor is elected and qualified;

3. to ratify the appointment by the Fund's Board of Directors of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, as the auditor of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

4. to transact any and all other business that may properly be presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s).

RECORD DATE AND SHARE OWNERSHIP

The close of business on [ ], has been fixed as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Fund had outstanding [7,015,785] shares of common stock held by approximately [342] registered owners and [1,390] beneficial owners.

QUORUM REQUIRED

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person, virtually, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of all the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. Shares held in street name for which the broker has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on certain Proposals (which are considered "Broker Non-Votes" with respect to such Proposals) will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes.

4 

If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the shareholders who are represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment, unless marked to be voted against any Proposal for which an adjournment is sought, to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

VOTE REQUIRED

Each share of common stock of the Fund is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. The common stock is the only class of securities of the Fund entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A shareholder is entitled to vote all shares of common stock held of record at the close of business on the Record Date, in person, virtually, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights. All votes will be tabulated by the Inspector of Elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes.

Approval of the election of the Directors (Proposal One). The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is sufficient to independently elect Russell Cleveland and Murray Stahl as Directors. Broker non-votes, if any, and abstentions will not be considered votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the nominees.

Ratification of the Board's appointment of auditor of the Fund for the 2022 fiscal year (Proposal Two). The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person, virtually, or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the selection of the Fund's independent auditor. An abstention will have the effect of a vote against the ratification of the appointment of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, as the Fund's independent auditor. Shares represented by broker non-votes, if any, will not be considered entitled to vote on this Proposal, and therefore will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote to ratify the appointment of the auditor.

Broker-dealers are prohibited from voting on certain matters for which they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owners of shares held in street name. Proxies submitted by brokers are considered "broker non-votes" with respect to such matters, and the shares represented by those proxies will not be considered entitled to vote on such matters, but will be deemed present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Under applicable stock exchange rules, broker-dealers are permitted to vote, in their discretion, on certain routine matters, including the election of directors of an investment company, such as the Fund, registered under the 1940 Act and the ratification of the appointment of auditors. Therefore, the Fund does not expect that there will be any broker non-votes on Proposal One or Proposal Two.

Additional solicitation. If there are not enough votes to approve any Proposals at the Annual Meeting, the shareholders who are present or represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment, unless marked to be voted against any Proposal for which an adjournment is sought to permit, the further solicitation of proxies.

Also, a shareholder vote may be taken on any of the Proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such Proposal.

VOTING ELECTRONICALLY VIA THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE

In lieu of mailing in the proxy card, shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names may vote either via the Internet or by telephone. Specific instructions to be followed by any registered shareholder interested in voting via the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate the shareholder's identity and to allow shareholders to vote their shares and confirm that their voting instructions have been properly recorded.

If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms are participating in the Broadridge Investor Communications Services online program, which provides eligible street-name shareholders the opportunity to vote via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm is participating in that program, they will furnish you with a proxy card with instructions. If your proxy card does not reference Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form.

After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Annual Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF CLASS THREE DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Fund's Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Board of Directors is to consist of one or more Directors, the number of which may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

The Board is divided into three classes, and each class normally serves for a three-year term. Under Texas law, procedures are available to remove Directors even if they are not then standing for re-election. Otherwise, ordinarily only those Directors in a single class may be changed in any one year. Having a classified Board of Directors may be regarded as an "anti-takeover" provision by making it more difficult for shareholders to change the majority of Directors, and may have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management.

The nominees for Class Three Directors who receives the majority of the votes cast for the directorship will be elected.

INFORMATION CONCERNING NOMINEES AND CONTINUING DIRECTOR

Term of Office. The term of office of the Class One Directors expires at the Annual Meeting to be held in 2023. The term of office of the Class Two Director expires at the Annual Meeting to be held in 2024. The term of office for the Class Three Directors expires at this Annual Meeting. The current Class Three Directors, Russell Cleveland and Murray Stahl, are proposed to be re-elected at this Annual meeting, to serve for a term on three (3) years or until their successor is elected and qualified.

Diversity in Board Members. In selecting nominees for election or re-election to the Board, consideration is given to the presence on the Board of a broad spectrum of business acumen and personal perspectives. The Fund has members who bring experience in securities and finance, executive management of corporations, directorships, corporate governance and financial reporting, among others. The Fund has no policy regarding such, but it intends to keep a diversity of skills and attitudes in its Board makeup, and it assesses those qualities in any present Director or one who is being considered for nomination to the Board.

Board's Role in Risk Management. The Board endeavors to forestall risk by its development of fundamental investment policies for approval by the shareholders and other policies which are more flexible for the Adviser's activities on the Fund's behalf. The Board is also involved in the assessment and monitoring of risk by virtue of its review of the Fund's investment activities, noting whether the portfolio has industry or geographic susceptibilities, by the appointment of the Adviser's portfolio managers to directorships on portfolio boards when indicated, and by review of the financial particulars of the Fund, including any occasions of debt. It also considers the strength of the Adviser's staff to provide uninterruptible investment and administrative services to the Fund. The Board feels that its considerable oversight of risk fuses well with the Fund's leadership structure.

Board Structure. Murray Stahl serves as both the Chairman of the Board and the Fund's Chief Executive Officer, and the Board has determined that the dual role is appropriate for this Fund. Mr. Stahl is an interested person in the Fund by virtue of his roles with Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, giving him an additional incentive for its good performance and protection. He does not receive compensation from the Fund for either role except for his indirect benefit from Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC's management fee, if any. The appointment of a separate person to serve as chairman would likely require the Fund to incur additional fee expense for the position, which the Board feels is unwarranted at this time. While not being named as such, the chairs of the Fund's Audit and Governance Committees in essence serve as lead independent Directors. They regularly hold meetings without management present to assess matters concerning financial reporting and administrative risk and portfolio investment parameters and execution risk, and relay to the Chairman of the Board any concerns they may have.

Director Transactions with Affiliates. As of the record date, with the exception of interested Directors Russell Cleveland and Murray Stahl, none of the Directors own any interest in Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC; nor has any Director, or a member of his immediate family, engaged in, or had a material interest in, a transaction or series of similar transactions involving the Fund, RENN Group or Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC which exceeded $120,000 in any fiscal year during the previous five fiscal years of the Fund; nor is any such transaction being currently considered. Since January 1, 2015, no Director or nominee, or a member of his or her immediate family, has had a material interest in any material transaction or any currently proposed material transaction involving the Fund, RENN Group or Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, an officer of the Fund, RENN Group or Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of RENN Group or Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (or any officer of such a parent, subsidiary or affiliate) or any investment company having the same adviser as the Fund (or any officer of such an investment company).

15 

Legal Proceedings. There have been no material pending legal proceedings in which any Director or nominee for Director or any affiliated person of such Director or nominee is a party adverse to the Fund or has a material interest adverse to the Fund or any of its affiliated persons. Director nominee Eric Sites filed for personal bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in 2011. The Chapter 13 plan of reorganization was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois in October 2011, and Mr. Sites was granted a discharge in July 2016.

Additional information concerning the Directors may be included in the Statement of Additional Information contained in the N-2 registration statement filed with the SEC by the Fund. This information may be obtained without charge by calling 1-646-291-2300.

Board Meetings and Committees. The Board of Directors held four meetings during 2020. The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Pricing Committee. The Board has not established a Compensation Committee because the Fund has no employees, its officers receive no compensation from the Fund, and the Fund has never issued options or warrants to officers or Directors of the Fund. All current Directors attended 100% of the meetings held by the Board and all committees on which such Director served during 2020.

The Fund does not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at meetings of shareholders. Mr. Stahl, Mr. Sites, Mr. Chain and Ms. Brennan were elected as directors for the first time at the 2017 Meeting. Mr. Cleveland attended and served as chair of the 2017 Meeting.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. In 2021, the Audit Committee held two meetings. The primary duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are:

• to select and approve the compensation of the Fund's independent auditors, including those to be retained for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit review or attest services for the Fund;

• to monitor the independence and performance of the Fund's independent auditors, who report directly to the Audit Committee;

• to oversee generally the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Fund and the audits of its financial statements;

• to review the reports and recommendations of the Fund's independent auditors;

• to provide an avenue of communication among the independent auditors, management, and the Board of Directors; and

• to address any matters between the Fund and its independent auditors regarding financial reporting.

During 2021, the Audit Committee was comprised of two Directors, who currently are Alice C. Brennan and Herbert M. Chain, each of whom is an independent director.

16 

The Audit Committee has a written charter, a copy of which was attached as Appendix B to the Fund's proxy statement related to the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

SEC rules recommend that an audit committee have a member who is a "financial expert." The SEC rules do not require that an audit committee financial expert have any additional duties, obligations or liabilities, and he is not considered an expert under the Securities Act of 1933. The Board of Directors determined that Herbert M. Chain satisfies the standard for "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the rules.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was created in January 2004 and is responsible for nominating individuals to serve as Directors and to address such governance matters as the Board may request from time to time.

In its assessment of each potential nominee for Director, the Committee reviews the nominee's judgment, experience, independence, financial literacy, knowledge of emerging growth companies, understanding of the Fund and its investment objectives, and such other factors as the Committee may determine. The Committee also takes into account the ability of a nominee to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities. The Committee has no formal policy regarding the consideration of nominees for election as directors that may be recommended by shareholders of the Fund, but would consider any qualified persons who might be recommended by shareholders in appropriate circumstances.

During 2021, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting and is comprised of two independent Directors, who currently are Alice C. Brennan and Herbert M. Chain.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a written charter, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to the Fund's proxy statement.

Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee held two meetings in 2021 and is comprised of Alice C. Brennan and Herbert M. Chain.

Director Compensation. The Fund does not pay any fees to, or reimburse expenses of, its Directors who are considered "interested persons" of the Fund. Directors who are not interested persons of either the Fund or its investment adviser, Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, currently receive no fee but are entitled to out-of-pocket expenses for each quarterly meeting attended. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate compensation paid by the Fund to each Director, and the aggregate compensation paid by any other funds in a Fund Complex with the Fund to each Director, is set forth below:

17 

Name of Director	Aggregate Deferred Compensation from Fund	Retirement Benefits Accrued as Part of Fund Expenses	Estimated Annual Benefits upon Retirement	Total 2020 Compensation from Fund and Fund Complex(3)
Russell Cleveland(1)	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0
Murray Stahl(2)	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0
Alice C. Brennan	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0
Herbert M. Chain	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0
Eric Sites(2)	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0	$ 0

⁽¹⁾ Mr. Cleveland is an "interested person" as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act by virtue of being a limited partner in the Cleveland Family Limited Partnership, which owns more than 5% of the Fund's securities.

⁽²⁾ Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC is the investment adviser to the Fund and Mr. Stahl and Mr. Sites are "interested persons" of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act by virtue of being officers and directors of Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, and in Mr. Stahl's case, a director and beneficial owner of outstanding securities of Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC.

⁽³⁾ The term "Fund Complex" means all 1940-Act-registered investment funds, or separate portfolios of such a fund, which share a common investment adviser (or have investment advisers that are affiliated persons) or which hold themselves out to investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investment services. The Fund is not currently grouped into a Fund Complex with any other such funds.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.

During the last completed fiscal year of the Fund, no executive officer of the Fund was a director or member of a compensation committee of any entity of which a member of the Fund's Board was or is an executive officer.

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the election of rUSSELL CLEVELAND AND MURRAY STAHL as class THREE directorS.

18 

PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

The Board of Directors selected Tait, Weller & Baker LLP to audit the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP was appointed as independent auditor to the Fund by Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC on April 20, 2017 and also served as the Fund's independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Its selection was approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Tait, Weller & Baker LLP performed the Fund's audit for the fiscal year(s) ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There were no disagreements between the Fund and Tait, Weller & Baker LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements of the Fund for such year.

During the Fund's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and in the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2022, there were no "reportable events" (as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

A representative of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, is expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and will respond to appropriate questions from shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement, should he or she so desire.

The following table presents fees paid by the Fund for professional services rendered by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Fee Category	Fees for 2020		Fees for 2021
Audit Fees	$	29,000	$	29,000
Audit-Related Fees		0		0
Tax Fees	$	4,000	$	4,000
All Other Fees		0		0
Total Fees	$	33,000	$	33,000

Audit Fees were for professional services rendered for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements. No tax or other non-audit fees were incurred or paid by the Fund to the independent audit firm of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP for either of the fiscal years indicated in the table.

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy that provides for the prior consideration by the Audit Committee of any audit or non-audit services that may be provided by its independent auditor to the Fund. Audit services were approved as delineated on the auditor's engagement letter before services were commenced. Tax or other non-audit fees were pre-approved with regard to the auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Neither has the Audit Committee pre-approved its auditors providing any non-audit services for the Adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, nor is it aware of any such situation that would require its pre-approval.

Tait, Weller & Baker LLP's address is 50 South 16^th Street, Suite 2900, Philadelphia, PA 19102. No conflicts between the Fund and the auditor occurred during the conduct of the audit for the year ended December 31, 2021.

19 

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, with the Fund's management. The Audit Committee has discussed with Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, the Fund's independent auditor, the matters required to be discussed by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, required by current authoritative standards and has discussed with the auditor its independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, among other things, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements of the Fund be included in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which includes the Fund's audited financial statements for that year, was previously distributed to the Fund's shareholders.

The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present, in person, virtually, or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the selection of the Fund's independent auditors.
