Calamos Global Convertible Mutual Fund Overview

The fund invests in global convertible securities, striving to balance risk/reward while providing growth and income.

Key Features

  • Seeks to provide upside participation in equity markets with less exposure to downside than an equity-only portfolio over a full market cycle.
  • Provides broadly diversified exposure to the global convertible bond universe by blending global investment themes and fundamental research via active management.
  • Takes environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into account, evaluating whether they impact a company's cash flow, risk profile and long-term returns.

Portfolio Fit

The fund's portfolio of convertible securities can participate in upside equity movements with potentially limited downside exposure, providing a means to manage risk in conjunction with an equity allocation. The fund can also serve a role within a fixed income allocation, as convertibles have performed well during periods of rising interest rates and inflation.

Important Fund Information

10k Performance is for the Fund's Class C shares at net asset value and does not include the Fund's maximum level-load sales charge of 1.00%. Had it been included, the Fund's return would have been lower. Results are before taxes on fund distributions and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Index data shown is from 12/31/14, since comparative index data is available only for full monthly periods. Source: Calamos Investments

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please refer to Important Risk Information. The principal value and return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflected at NAV does not include the Fund's maximum front-end sales load of 2.25%. Had it been included, the Fund's return would have been lower.

Index and Morningstar category data shown reflects full month periods only. If share class inception date is on or before the 15th of the month, the index or category calculation inception date begins on the first day of that month. If share class inception date is after the 15th of the month, the index or category calculation inception date begins on the first day of the following month.

The Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index is designed to broadly represent the global convertible bond market.

Unmanaged index returns, unlike fund returns, do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Average annual total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments as an annualized average. All performance shown assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

The funds' gross expense ratios as of the prospectus dated 3/1/2024 are as follows: A Shares 1.34%, C Shares 2.09% and I Shares 1.09%.

Class I shares are offered primarily for direct investment by investors through certain tax-exempt retirement plans and by institutional clients, provided such plans or clients have assets of at least $1 million.
