While an overweight position detracted from relative returns, security selection added significantly to performance. Particularly notable performers included holdings within the semiconductors and communications equipment industries. We continue to overweight this sector due to its cleaner balance sheets and the attractive valuations, based on Calamos estimates. Within IT, we favor companies offering products that enhance corporate productivity. We believe that capital spending will continue to increase and we have positioned the portfolio accordingly. Security selection within and an underweight to the consumer discretionary sector added to relative returns. Security selection within the Internet retail industry was notably positive. Our focus in this area is on strong global brands with diversified revenue bases, as well as on lower-cost providers servicing a more cost-conscious consumer. Security selection within the materials sector detracted from relative returns. Holdings within the diversified metals and mining industry trailed the index. We believe strong demand coming from many Asian economies, as well as continued global stimulus, should help boost commodity prices and benefit portfolio holdings within the sector. The portfolio’s underweight to Japan added value. We are analyzing the longer-term economic effects from the events in Japan, including the impact to individual companies, the global economic recovery, as well as the potential currency implications associated with the yen intervention. The portfolio’s holdings within the United Kingdom and Denmark also contributed to relative returns. As of 3/31/11 Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results.
