John Calamos has built a reputation for using investment techniques to control risk, preserve capital, and build wealth for clients over the long term. As a pioneer in convertible securities, Calamos launched one of the first convertible funds in 1985 as a way to manage risk for clients in volatile times. He also established one of the first liquid alternative funds in 1990, reflecting a focus on innovation that continues to this day.
From working as a stock boy in his parent's grocery store on Chicago's West Side to flying over 400 combat missions in Vietnam and eventually founding Calamos Investments, a global asset management firm managing $40 billion, Calamos' career is a testament to the American Dream. The Sky's the Limit highlights John's vision, determination, patriotism, and philanthropy.
The book will debut at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles on May 4–7, 2025.
