December 2008: Calamos Open-End Funds Report 2008 Capital Gains

Capital gains are the result of the Funds' sale of securities that have appreciated in price. The investment management team may sell assets that have had price gains when the team believes the securities are no longer appropriately valued. Securities that have appreciated in value may also be sold to maintain an appropriate level of diversification within the portfolio.

Our main focus at Calamos is to position our Funds to pursue the highest long-term total returns with an appropriate amount of risk, based on each Fund's investment objective. We are always tax aware and we attempt to mitigate annual taxable gains in our portfolios when prudent. Accordingly, as shown below, the Convertible Fund and Market Neutral Income Funds' capital gains distributions are long-term capital gains paid in December 2008. For individuals, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%; while short-term capital gains (gains on shares held for one year or less) are generally taxed at your ordinary income rate.
