The Gabelli Global Content & Connectivity Fund Sergey Dluzhevskiy, CFA | “Manchester United plc (1.8% of net assets as of June 30, 2026) (MANU – $22.93 – NYSE) is among the world's most prominent sports and entertainment brands, with a global reach that extends far beyond soccer. Since its founding, the club has captured 67 major trophies, cementing its status as one of the most valuable and widely supported franchises in global sport. Although ownership remains closely held, Manchester United's global scale, brand durability, and redevelopment potential make it a premier vehicle for exposure to the institutionalization of sports as an asset class. The team also qualified for the 2026–2027 Champions League, which, in turn, should lead to elevated year-over-year financial results.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 14, 2026 | View Pitch |

Bryan, Gustavo Pifano, Ashish Sinha | “Manchester United plc (1.5%) (MANU – $22.93 – NYSE) is among the world's most prominent sports and entertainment brands, with a global reach that extends far beyond soccer. Based in Manchester, England, the club competes in the Premier League, the highest level of English football, and consistently features in major European competitions.

Manchester United represents a globally scarce, premium sports asset with vertically integrated revenue streams across media, sponsorship, and fan engagement. Although ownership remains closely held, Manchester United's global scale, brand durability, and redevelopment potential make it a premier vehicle for exposure to the institutionalization of sports as an asset class. The team also qualified for the 2026–2027 Champions League after a successful Premier League campaign this past season, which in turn should lead to elevated year-over-year financial results.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Aug 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
