Calamos Total Return Bond Mutual Fund Overview

Through its multi-sector fixed income strategy, the fund invests predominantly in US issuers with the goal of generating a high level of current income and total return in excess of the benchmark over market cycles.

Key Features

  • Employs bond-by-bond portfolio construction with a focus on being well compensated for risks taken. We believe a disciplined process, grounded in fundamental research, enables us to achieve higher total returns with less volatility.
  • Draws on a broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include high yield bonds, bank loans and preferreds provides additional opportunities.
  • Utilizes robust, independent credit research that unites quantitative and qualitative analyses into historical and forward-looking models. The result is a credit rating that reflects where a company is heading.

Portfolio Fit

The fund may be suitable as the cornerstone of a fixed income allocation, with investments diversified across the major sectors of the US bond market. Complementary specialized fixed income strategies seek to enhance return potential and better manage risk.

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.

Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency).

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 1.24%, C Shares 1.99% and I Shares 0.99%.
