Funds In The News
- In a recent interview with Investor's Business Daily, Nick Calamos spoke about the firm's investment approach in a number of Calamos funds and holdings.
The co-chief investment officer of Calamos Investments, discussed the team's convertible business valuation process which focuses on free cash flow and a "business's entire structure, including its debt, its convertibles, loans on its book . . . and upside potential". From a growth stock perspective, the team takes a purist approach, looking for "acceleration in revenues growth or earnings or return on capital. Anything that can drive business valuation." Simultaneously, the team looks for quality and sustainability of that growth. ("Calamos Hunts Stocks That Can Accelerate Earnings, Sustain Growth" June 3, 2008.
