Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund declares $0.05 dividend
Seeking Alpha News (Fri, 19-Dec 3:43 AM ET)
Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund (CHW) is a global enhanced fixed-income offering that seeks to provide an attractive monthly distribution, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The fund offers a diversified way to participate in the long-term potential of global markets. The fund tries to utilize a highly flexible approach, and can invest in equities, convertible securities and high-yield securities. The fund can also employ alternative strategies such as covered call writing and convertible arbitrage. Through covered call writing, the fund seeks to generate income by selling (“writing”) options on market indexes. In the convertible arbitrage strategy, the fund invests in convertible securities and short sell the convertibles’ underlying equities to generate income and hedge against risk. The fund believes that this broad mandate enhances its ability to capitalize on market volatility, manage potential downside risks and generate more income versus traditional fixed-income funds. The allocation to each asset class and strategy is dynamic, and reflects the funds view of the economic landscape as well as the potential of individual securities.
