General American Investors is a closed-end fund that invests in a diversified and balanced portfolio of equities of large-cap U.S. listed stocks. GAM uses nearly 12% leverage in the form of preferred shares, for which it pays 5.95% in distributions quarterly. GAM's past performance is solid, especially the long-term performance. In some ways, this is a proxy for the S&P500 in terms of capital appreciation with the benefit of significant income.
