Overview

To deliver absolute returns largely uncorrelated to equity and fixed income markets.

Key Features

  • Calamos is a pioneer in convertible and options investing, where analysis of public acquisitions and opportunities to alter risk reward through structure is an ingrained part of the investment process
  • Our merger strategy is a natural extension of our experience managing hedged equity and convertible arbitrage strategies for more than 20 years on average as a team
  • Because of this, we believe one of our main edges resides in public acquisitions where there are convertible bonds, liquid options or other securities within a target company's capital structure that allow us to alter risk reward through trade structure

Portfolio Fit

Seeks to deliver absolute returns uncorrelated to equity and fixed income markets.
