The Fund invests in the equity securities of small capitalization companies with high, sustainable growth potential, which may exceed market expectations.
Investing in small cap companies is an important component of a diversified investment strategy. Smaller companies tend to experience greater growth and outperform larger companies.
An investment in the Fund(s) is subject to risks, and you could lose money on your investment in the Fund(s). There can be no assurance that the Fund(s) will achieve its investment objective. Your investment in the Fund(s) is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund(s) can increase during times of significant market volatility. The Fund(s) also has specific principal risks, which are described below. More detailed information regarding these risks can be found in the Fund's prospectus.
The principal risks of investing in the Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund include: equity securities risk consisting of market prices declining in general, growth stock risk consisting of potential increased volatility due to securities trading at higher multiples, and portfolio selection risk. The Fund invests in small capitalization companies, which are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. As a result of political or economic instability in foreign countries, there can be special risks associated with investing in foreign securities, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, increased price volatility and difficulty obtaining information. In addition, emerging markets may present additional risk due to potential for greater economic and political instability in less developed countries.
The performance shown in the bar chart and performance table is the performance of the Predecessor Fund prior to the commencement of the Fund's operations. Effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund through a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund has the same investment objective, strategy and portfolio manager as the Predecessor Fund. As a result, the performance of the Fund would have been substantially similar to that of the Predecessor Fund.The bar chart shows the performance of the Predecessor Fund's Institutional Class which has been adopted by the Class I shares of the Fund for periods prior to the Reorganization. The information shows you how the Predecessor Fund's performance has varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The average annual total return table compares the Predecessor Fund's Institutional Class performance which has been adopted by the Class I shares of the Fund and Class Y performance which has been adopted by the Class A shares of the Fund and adjusted to reflect the maximum sales load of 4.75% for Class A shares, to that of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. "Since Inception" return shown for the Russell 2000 Growth Index is the return since the inception of the Predecessor Fund's Class Y shares. The average annual total return table does not show performance information for Class R6 shares as the Class R6 shares had not commenced investment operations as of the date of this prospectus. An index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. To the extent that dividends and distributions have been paid by the Predecessor Fund, the performance information for the Predecessor Fund in the chart and table assumes reinvestment of the dividends and distributions. If the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser had not waived or reimbursed certain Predecessor Fund expenses during these periods, the Predecessor Fund's returns would have been lower. As always, please note that the Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) cannot predict how it will perform in the future.
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 4.75%. Had it been included, the Fund's return would have been lower.
The funds' gross expense ratios as of the prospectus dated 3/1/2021 are as follows: A Shares 1.40%, I Shares 1.16% and R6 Shares 1.09%.
Morningstar Small Growth Category funds focus on faster-growing companies whose shares are at the lower end of the market-capitalization range. Stocks in the bottom 10% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as small cap. Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields).
Morningstar RatingsTM are based on risk-adjusted returns and are through 3/31/21 for Class I shares and will differ for other share classes. Morningstar ratings are based on a risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly historical performance (reflecting sales charges), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Within each asset class, the top 10%, the next 22.5%, 35%, 22.5%, and the bottom 10% receive 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star, respectively. Each fund is rated exclusively against U.S. domiciled funds.

"Since Inception" return shown for the Russell 2000 Growth Index is the return since the inception of the Predecessor Fund's Class Y shares. The average annual total return table does not show performance information for Class R6 shares as the Class R6 shares had not commenced investment operations as of the date of this prospectus. An index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. To the extent that dividends and distributions have been paid by the Predecessor Fund, the performance information for the Predecessor Fund in the chart and table assumes reinvestment of the dividends and distributions. If the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser had not waived or reimbursed certain Predecessor Fund expenses during these periods, the Predecessor Fund's returns would have been lower. As always, please note that the Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) cannot predict how it will perform in the future.

The Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023 to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A shares and Class I shares are limited to 1.30% and 1.05% of average net assets, respectively. The Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 1.05% less the Fund's annual sub-transfer agency ratio (the aggregate sub-transfer agency fees of the Fund's other share classes divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes). For purposes of these expense limitations, operating expenses do not include taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any. Calamos Advisors may recapture previously waived expense amounts within the same fiscal year for any day where the respective share class's expense ratio falls below the contractual expense limit up to the expense limit for that day. This undertaking is binding on Calamos Advisors and any of its successors and assigns. This agreement is not terminable by either party.
