GABELLI EQUITY TRUST INC · Ownership
Is the smart money (institutions and insiders) accumulating or distributing? One lagging input, not a buy signal.
13F fund flowQuarter ended Jun 30, 2026: more funds added or entered than trimmed or exited, mild accumulation (43 new · 87 increased · 42 reduced · 24 closed · 52 unchanged or with no prior quarter on file). Flows at this scale move slowly; treat as context. These positions are 94 days old; the 45-day figure often quoted is the SEC filing deadline after quarter-end, not the age of the data. The counts above compare each filer’s position with its own previous 13F. The change in the number of filers and in the ownership share is not shown: the filings we read hold only each filer’s latest 13F, so there is no earlier quarter of the same filers to compare against. That is a limit of the source, not a statement about this company.

Lag warningThese holdings were reported for Jun 30, 2026 and are 94 days old, so this is a rear-view mirror, not real-time positioning. Funds have 45 days after each quarter-end to file, which is why the newest complete quarter always runs 45 to 135 days behind.
