Objective The Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund has maximum flexibility to dynamically allocate among equities, fixed-income securities and alternative investments around the world. Approaching the Investment Process as a Team At Calamos Investments, we've established ourselves as leaders in the asset management industry by investing according to John Calamos' vision: positioning our portfolios for risk management and staying fully invested through all stages of the market cycle. If you look behind the scenes, you'll see an entire team of experienced investment professionals implementing that vision. Our "one team, one process" management philosophy means the same group of managers uses the same proprietary methodology to analyze companies and securities for every one of our portfolios. Although predicting the future is impossible, our research helps us hone in on indicators that a company may be undervalued or positioned for exceptional growth. Only after closely examining a company's balance sheet, credit quality, growth prospects, most probable range of price movement and fit within the portfolio do we determine whether its security is likely to benefit our strategy. We've shown our skill at growing wealth for our clients during our over 30 years in the business. As active money managers, our ultimate goal—no matter what the market is doing—is to achieve the optimal risk/reward balance. Investment Strategy The Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund (CHW) brings together multiple asset classes with broad flexibility to tactically shift among them as market conditions warrant. This enhanced fixed income strategy delivers worldwide exposure to higher quality growth stocks, higher yield corporate bonds, government bonds, convertibles and alternative investments such as arbitrage and call writes. The strategy invests across the globe in both developed and emerging markets, including debt and equity securities of corporate issuers and debt securities of government issuers. While emphasis is on producing a steady income stream, the Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund makes maximum use of our proprietary investment process featuring detailed fundamental analysis and quantitative screening across a company’s debt/capital structure.
