Experience and Foresight

About Calamos Investments

For over 40 years, we have helped investors like you manage and build wealth to meet long-term objectives. Because investors have different time horizons, risk tolerances and goals, we offer funds to suit a variety of asset allocation needs. Our 18 mutual funds include equity, fixed income, convertible and alternative funds. We offer U.S. funds as well as global and international choices.

We are dedicated to helping our clients build and protect wealth. We understand when you entrust us with your assets, you also entrust us with your achievements, goals and aspirations. We believe we best honor this trust by making investment decisions guided by integrity, discipline and our conscientious research.

We believe an active, risk-conscious approach is essential for wealth creation. In our early years, we pioneered the use of convertible securities as a means to control risk in volatile markets. We followed with strategies that combine convertibles and stocks, with the aim of participating in equity market upside with potentially less volatility than an all-stock portfolio. In 1990, we introduced our first stock fund, which invests in growth companies both large and small. Across our funds, our investment process seeks to manage risk at multiple levels and draws upon our experience investing through many market cycles. In a rapidly changing environment, we believe that this active management is essential.

We are global in our perspective. We believe globalization offers tremendous opportunities for countries and companies all over the world. In our U.S., global and international portfolios, we are seeking to capitalize on the potential growth of the global economy.

We believe there are opportunities in all markets. Our history traces back to the 1970s, a period of significant volatility and economic concerns. Since then, we have invested through the ebb and flow of multiple markets, each with its own set of challenges. Out of this experience comes our belief that the flipside of volatility is opportunity.

Letter to Shareholders

JOHN P. CALAMOS, SR.

Founder, Chairman and Global Chief Investment Officer

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Welcome to your annual report for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020. In this report, you will find commentary from the Calamos portfolio management teams, as well as a listing of portfolio holdings, financial statements and highlights, and detailed information about the performance and positioning of the Calamos Funds.

Market Review

The 12 months ending October 31, 2020 have been an extraordinary time for investors. As the reporting period began, market sentiment was generally upbeat as investors focused on supportive Federal Reserve policy and signs of progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations. The tide changed dramatically soon after the start of 2020, as Covid-19 swept across the globe. As countries sought to contain the pandemic through lockdowns and social distancing, economic activity and markets plummeted. U.S. and global stock markets both fell more than 30% in the span of a few weeks,1 oil prices plunged as demand collapsed, and U.S. Treasury yields reached new lows as investors turned to investments with greater perceived safety.

Central banks and governments took decisive steps in response to the rapidly unfolding global health crisis. Sweeping measures provided market liquidity and support to businesses and households. Investor sentiment improved quickly as a result, and financial markets rebounded dramatically.2 Global economies began to reopen, with monetary and fiscal policy providing tailwinds to recovery. Yet, even during this upswing, markets remained volatile due to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and the potential fiscal policy impacts of looming U.S. elections.

Outlook

2020 has been unprecedented in its challenges, but it has also provided many examples that illustrate the ingenuity and adaptability of humankind, as well as the resilience of the global economy and markets. At the time of this writing, companies are releasing exciting announcements about the high efficacy of vaccine trials. GDP numbers and many other data points provide an encouraging picture of an economic recovery that may proceed faster than many expected. Many businesses are exceeding the earnings expectations of Wall Street analysts, significant numbers of people are returning to work, mortgage rates are low, and consumer balance sheets

Letter to Shareholders

are in good shape. U.S. election results point to a divided Washington D.C., which can set the stage for more moderate economic plans that support job creation and the health of businesses of all sizes, and by extension investment opportunities.

As always, fiscal policy will have a significant impact on the economic environment. For example, in the U.S., not all segments of the economy are healing at an even pace and many households and businesses remain under pressure. Covid-19 cases continue to rise, putting more strain not only on health care systems, but also economies and households. Appropriate fiscal policy and levels of regulation will be key to navigating the many challenges that still lie ahead.

We are entering a new period of opportunity in the global financial markets. Throughout much of 2020, a handful of large-cap technology companies enjoyed the lion's share of market attention. As the recovery continues and the world makes meaningful strides toward defeating Covid-19, a very different landscape can quickly emerge, with new investment themes gaining strength. This is an environment that favors risk-aware bottom-up security selection, guided by rigorous fundamental research and an understanding of the thematic forces shaping the world.

The Importance of Long-Term Perspective

Over recent weeks, we have seen quick swings in the market and expect the next months to bring continued volatility, including leadership rotation, episodic selloffs and rebounds. November's U.S. election results and recent vaccine news give greater clarity, but the markets will grapple with uncertainty related to the timing of vaccine rollouts, as well as the specifics of fiscal policy changes under a new presidential administration.

Since I began investing in the difficult financial markets of the 1970s, I have learned that volatility creates opportunity for those who are prepared, disciplined and guided by long-term focus. Our teams are staying focused on long-term fundamentals and actively using volatility to enhance the risk/reward characteristics of the Calamos Funds.

As always, I'd caution investors against letting emotion drive investment decisions. Making moves based on either fear or greed, without a longer-term plan, increases the likelihood of getting whipsawed in volatile markets. Instead, work with your investment professional to ensure that your asset allocation makes sense for your risk tolerance and investment objectives. In rotational and volatile markets, diversification is especially important, and your investment professional may recommend making strategic enhancements to your asset allocation to capitalize on evolving opportunities. For example, your investment professional may discuss the potential benefits of investing in funds that provide exposure to relatively less followed asset classes, such as international and emerging market equities, and small-cap stocks.

Letter to Shareholders

Having a solid foundation of risk-managed funds in your asset allocation can make it easier to stay invested through periods of volatility and limit the dangerous temptation to time the market. With this in mind, your investment professional may suggest funds that are managed to provide lower-volatility participation in the U.S. or global stock market—for example, Calamos funds that invest in convertible securities or in convertible securities and stocks. Or, your conversations could focus on adding Calamos alternative funds to either your equity or fixed income allocation. Compared to traditional long-only funds, our alternative strategies can utilize different levers for managing risk and reward, which makes them compelling choices for diversification. This report provides an introduction to these capabilities, and you can learn more by visiting calamos.com.

In closing, all of us at Calamos Investments thank you for your trust. We are honored you have chosen the Calamos Funds to help you achieve your asset allocation goals.

Sincerely,

John P. Calamos, Sr.
Founder, Chairman and Global Chief Investment Officer

CALAMOS MARKET NEUTRAL INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Please discuss the Fund's strategy and role within an asset allocation.

Launched more than 30 years ago, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund represents one of the first liquid alternative mutual funds and blends two main strategies—convertible arbitrage and covered call writing—with the aim of monetizing volatility. In addition to offering an attractive historical risk/reward profile, the Fund may enhance long-term portfolio diversification potential, especially in relation to fixed income securities.

Recently, bouts of historically elevated equity volatility underscore the value of diversification. Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund is designed to:

n  Potentially enhance an investor's fixed income allocation.

n  Actively pursue equity market upside while hedging downside risk.

The end goal is consistent absolute total return over varying market cycles.

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund returned 3.51% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus a 7.08% return for the Bloomberg Barclays US Government/Credit Bond Index and 0.71% increase for the FTSE 30-Day US Treasury Bill Index.

For the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended October 31, 2020, the Fund's I shares return ranked in the 32nd, 25th, 15th and 1st percentiles, respectively, in the Morningstar Market Neutral category peer group.*

What factors influenced performance?

The reporting period saw significant market swings that created opportunities for both the convertible arbitrage and hedged equity strategies within the Fund. The period began with the equity market setting all-time highs right up until the COVID-19 crisis mushroomed into a pandemic in mid-February. In a matter of days, the S&P 500 Index surrendered three years of gains. Unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus arrived to the rescue in late March, and equity markets regained lost ground and retested all-time highs by the end of the reporting period.

The extreme volatility was seen in the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), which increased from 13.11 at the beginning of the period to 82.69 on March 16 before falling to 38.02 at the end of the period on October 31.

The 33.79% S&P 500 decline from February 20 to March 23 provided headwind to the hedged equity portion of the Fund in the first half of the period. The Fund benefited from its put protection and short call options, but the equity basket fell below that call and put option protection. The Fund also benefited from the active management of our option trading, which enabled us to take profits in the calls after

the market decline while maintaining the existing put protection. This means we were able to "clear a runway," so that we could participate in more of the market rebound (S&P 500 +47.71% from March 24 to October 31) than was given up during the pullback.

The convertible arbitrage portion benefited from increasing volatility and a significant increase in new convertible issuance. According to ICE BofA, $90.1 billion of new convertible issuance was brought to market in 2020 through October 31. This amount far surpassed the $53.1 billion in the full calendar year 2019 and put 2020 on pace to exceed the most calendar year new issuance witnessed since before 1998. The new convertibles issued during the period were attractive for convertible arbitrage as they represented the balanced portion of the market, which when combined with elevated volatility, increased opportunities for trade rebalancing. In addition, much of the new issuance was brought to market at a discount to the convertible's theoretical valuation, providing an opportunity for pricing arbitrage.

Elevated option skew flattened during the reporting period. The Credit Suisse "Fear Barometer" Index, an index that compares the relative value of calls versus puts and is useful for measuring option skew, began the period at 25.24 and finished the period at 22.23, above the near 20 historical long-term average of the index, though it had declined to 14.38 on March 12. While the above-average option skew provided an attractive opportunity to improve the strategy's risk/reward profile by using call and put spreads, the Fund's "North Star" trade of selling 80% calls against 40% puts became increasingly more attractive as skew flattened.

In response to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates to near zero and initiated further quantitative easing activities. These actions moved U.S. interest rates sharply lower across the yield curve. The 3-year U.S. Treasury yield declined from 1.52% to 0.19%, the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped from 2.98% to 0.38%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined from 1.69% to 0.88%. While the Fund won't have significant interest-rate exposure, this generally also means that it won't have interest-rate opportunity. Declining interest rates over the reporting period supported the Bloomberg Barclay's Government Credit Index outperformance relative to the Fund.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had 57.7% in convertible arbitrage and 41.5% in covered call writing. Our allocation to convertible arbitrage is at its highest weighting in years, driven by bottom-up convertible arbitrage opportunity and market appreciation in several in-the-money convertibles. The heavy level of new convertible issuance this year (more than $90 billion in the U.S. through October) has created plenty of opportunity for the arbitrage strategy.

The strong pace of new convertible issuance has provided substantial opportunities because a high percentage of these new convertibles trade well in the secondary market. Historically, there's embedded cheapness in a newly issued convertible given that issuers need to price the new convertible at a discount to fair value to bring all that paper to the market at once. This includes a significant but manageable allocation

to areas that have faced the stiffest COVID-19 pressures, such as travel and retail names. Many of these came to market with some of the cheapest valuations seen since 2009 and are still attractive despite the appreciation they've seen since. By being selective and avoiding convertibles either mispriced or aggressively priced, we can benefit when the new convertibles trade closer to fair value on their first day of trading in the secondary market. In addition, many repeat convertible issuers bring new convertibles to market and repurchase their older issues. This enables the portfolio to sell existing convertibles at or above fair value while also purchasing convertibles below fair value. Elevated volatility has also improved the opportunity set for convertible arbitrage in that it provides more opportunity to profit from hedge rebalancing.

Given increased expected volatility as we continue to deal with another wave of COVID-19, we have positioned the hedged equity portion of our portfolio toward the lower range of its equity sensitivity profile while providing an attractive opportunity to capture net option premium. We expect that this level of hedge will remain broadly similar in the near term, barring a major change in equity or option markets. In the current environment, we have found it challenging to build skew in our hedges, though we expect more skew to be added as volatility settles. In addition to the long puts that we always maintain in the portfolio, we also found it attractive to utilize put spreads by selling deep out-of-the money puts and buying closer-to-the-money puts. The positioning provided an attractive upside/downside risk portfolio.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund celebrated its 30th anniversary on September 4, 2020. For three decades, the Fund has provided a time-tested approach for delivering consistent positive results with minimal correlation to traditional risk exposures found in other securities with similar volatility attributes. Many have successfully used the Fund to diversify their bond portfolios away from interest-rate exposure, capitalize on elevated equity volatility, and realize risk-managed performance that provides ballast to their portfolios. An allocation to the Fund in an investment portfolio can provide a means to reduce equity sensitivity as the Fund has traditionally provided bond-like returns with bond-like risk attributes.

The current market environment has provided market and credit stability with pockets of equity volatility, which has proved to be an attractive setting for both convertible arbitrage and hedged equity strategies. We believe the current market backdrop has the potential to provide the Fund with a strong finish to 2020, through the Fund is well positioned in the event that the markets were to experience a non-financial panic sell-off.

The returns on the Fund are not interest-rate-path dependent. While bonds have performed strongly as interest rates have declined, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund has performed well despite not having the duration exposure. The Fund benefits from "volatility in volatility" and heightened periods of volatility are expected from a variety of potential sources including COVID-19-related issues, trade disputes, decelerating global growth and geopolitical tensions.

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund

CALAMOS HEDGED EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Fund Strategic approach and Role in a Portfolio

The Fund's strategy blends a core long equity portfolio with an actively managed options overlay. Tactical management creates opportunities to add alpha via option market dynamics and equity market volatility. The Fund seeks to take advantage of opportunities the market presents, focusing on being favorably positioned for as many outcomes as possible.

In 2020, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund, positioned as an equity substitute, sought to provide better upside/downside asymmetry than long-only equities while dampening volatility on its equity sleeve. The Fund's investment approach this year was highly responsive to dynamic market conditions, which was a key differentiator versus peers who utilized less actively managed options-based strategies.

How has the Fund performed?

True to its risk-managed design, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund participated in the equity market's upside with significantly less risk versus long-only equities, thanks to our hedging strategy. Throughout a volatile 2020, the Fund maintained an approximate 0.45 beta, which is a little bit less than the historical beta of 0.52 since Fund inception versus the S&P 500 Index as of October 31, 2020.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund gained 5.09% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 500 Index gain of 9.71% and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index increase of 6.19%. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund gained 5.37% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value), versus 10.46% for the S&P 500 Index and 3.69% for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

2020 was a year to "Expect the Unexpected!" Oil prices went negative for the first time in history; COVID-19 cases continued to spike, though with the promise of vaccines on the horizon; aggressive global monetary policy became the new normal; a challenging employment picture hearkened back to the Great Financial Crisis and even the Great Depression, and if all that wasn't enough, we slogged through one of the most contentious U.S. presidential elections in history.

The unprecedented market volatility reflected this. The VIX started 2020 as a teen, weighing in at 13, but in a flash skyrocketed to an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020. While the market pundits tried to figure out what letter of the alphabet best described a potential recovery, our active management approach enabled us to navigate and "monetize this volatility" through frequent rebalancing of our option hedges. We saw an upward kink in the S&P 500 option-pricing term structure at the end of October, as the implied-volatility term structure continues to ramp up well past the hotly contested presidential election on November 3. However, it doesn't stop there as forward volatility continues to rise past that date and well into 2021, with July 2021 VIX Futures pricing a 25 VIX. With the VIX Futures curve plotting well above its historical mean of 18.50, we can surmise that the options markets are currently pricing in or implying potentially violent moves well into 2021. All of the above adds up to a more challenging environment for the investment team. The more typical market-up/volatility-down environment is theoretically more comfortable to add hedge and

navigate because option prices cheapen as the market rises. Adding a hedge is a lot easier in that type of volatility market. We have the inverse of what we would expect, market-up/volatility-up, which makes it more challenging to maintain the risk/reward we're accustomed to, especially as the market continues to grind higher.

With this elevated volatility comes an expectation that the S&P 500 Index could experience +/-1.25% intra-day ranges. The higher volatility and skew, in turn, makes put and call spreads more appealing, as we look to capture 45% to 55% upside and limit downside capture to 30% to 40%, ultimately driving better risk-adjusted returns for the Fund.

How is the Fund positioned?

The options market recent landscape allowed us to structure our hedge, emphasizing better performance on the tails. This positioning provided additional mitigation over and above our average 40% to 50% put notional minimum while also adding upside participation potential. The trade-off was a reduction in the net income we received from selling calls above our put cost. With the Fund's defensive mandate, and given the low volatility and high skew* in the options market, we felt this trade-off was warranted and opportunistic. More recently, higher volatility (the VIX at 25) and flatter option skew have made our "North Star" baseline trade appealing. With the resurgence of market volatility, options pricing now allows us to sell call options at approximately 3% to 5% out of the money, representing more attractive price levels than the protective puts being purchased at about 5% out of the money. This aligns with our traditional "North Star" trade mechanics of selling out-of-the-money (OTM) calls versus buying OTM puts.

We continue to use rallies to replace some of our put hedges with long put spreads, which appeared attractive. The Fund's net put representation at the end of the period was 44%, with an average strike of 2,772 (15% OTM). Our call positioning included a call write of 44%, gross short calls of -87%, and gross long calls of 42% at the end of the period. In this case, gross long calls were lower than in the past. At the end of the reporting period and relative to the S&P 500 Index, our sector positioning was slightly overweight to the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The portfolio had slight underweight positioning to the materials, financials, consumer staples, real estate, and materials sectors. The Fund's market-cap positioning relative to the S&P 500 Index maintained a heavier relative weight to larger-capitalization (>$25 billion) holdings and lighter weight to small and mid-capitalization ($1 to $25 billion) companies.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

As the equity markets challenge all-time highs, we have to be conscious that markets don't go straight up without a healthy decline now and then. Sometimes these downturns can enter correction territory (declines >10%) as we saw in Q1 of 2020, and sometimes they are less scary pullbacks (declines <10%). From the end of the correction, March 23, the S&P 500 Index gained about 48% by period end. During that time, the most significant decline has been less than 2%, within the expected intraday range of roughly 1.5%. With the latest earnings season winding down, vaccine efficacy rates above 90%, and election results contested but becoming evident, we expect equity markets to stay volatile well into 2021, which makes us enthusiastic about our current positioning in the Fund. Should equity markets advance, the Fund is poised to participate in the upside while also providing an enhanced income stream from well-positioned call spreads and our tracking portfolio's equity dividends. Conversely, should the markets retreat, the dividend income stream and the puts used in the Fund will serve to provide potential downside mitigation.

CALAMOS PHINEUS LONG/SHORT FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

What is the essence of the investment approach?

Through a global long/short structure, the Fund invests in publicly listed equity securities. Components of the strategy include:

n  A fundamental global approach that blends top-down and bottom-up considerations. Company analysis is integrated with industry, thematic and macro research.

n  An inclusive framework for identifying potential returns and associated risks. The framework accounts for company, industry, style, country and market factors.

n  Flexible capital allocation allowing for all investment styles, market caps and geographic regions. The investment universe is global, liquid and scalable. Exposure levels and investment styles depend upon market conditions and the economic cycle.

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund decreased -3.67% (Class I shares at net asset value). The S&P 500 Index increased 9.71% and the MSCI World Index gained 4.91% over the same period.

Since its inception on May 1, 2002, the Fund has returned 9.43% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) and, thus, markedly outperformed both the S&P 500 and MSCI World Indexes, which returned 8.36% and 7.41%, respectively, over the same period. As of October 31, 2020, the long/short portion of the portfolio had a delta-adjusted* net long position of approximately 65% (as of 10/31/20).

What factors influenced performance?

Our approach through 2019 and into 2020 was one of capital preservation. Well before the pandemic, we expected economic data to weaken domestically and abroad, no longer supporting existing equity market valuations. After the yield curve briefly inverted in 2019, U.S. activity slowed progressively in response to the long Fed-tightening cycle, and the U.S. economy appeared headed for a "soft landing." The European story remained one of stagnation as German manufacturing slipped into recession and Brexit took a toll on growth expectations. China and other emerging markets were dogged by trade conflicts and slowing global output. While the U.S. consumer was a source of resilience, the global producer industries entered a virtual recession. Almost all leading economic indicators deteriorated through the course of the year, coalescing into a concerning picture for corporate fundamentals. As a consequence, S&P 500 earnings were essentially flat in 2019.

We maintained this positioning into early 2020, as we expected U.S. equities to be range bound. Although we never anticipated the economic and market consequences of a historic pandemic, we did believe that the equity markets were vulnerably priced. Our perception proved correct as Q1 of 2020 devolved into the worst quarter for equities since 1987, characterized by the sharpest bear market in history. After a rather benign first half of the quarter, equity markets rushed to discount the impact of government-mandated shutdowns across many sectors of the economy.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

Our approach since the bear market bottom of March has been to hold and accumulate high-quality and cyclical recovery equities in anticipation of a normalization in the global economy. We continued to keep a watchful eye on the pandemic developments and believed that a combination of science and human adaptability would prevail. Therefore, we believe that the next wave of the virus will not wreak the same magnitude of havoc on economic activity as the first one.

After the unprecedented economic contraction in the first half of the year, the second part of the year has witnessed a historic recovery in almost all measures of U.S. economic activity, and yet stocks have behaved defensively in nature. Equal-weighted equity indexes have been "going nowhere" since early June, with the exception of the leading U.S. technology names and pockets of long-duration equities. This disparity is visible in the positive YTD return of the cap-weighted S&P 500 (+2.76%) versus the negative returns for the equal-weighted S&P 500 (-5.33%) and for most non-U.S. benchmarks.

Our performance since the equity bottom in March reflects this bifurcation. Fund exposures remain biased to the recovery and "normalization" opportunities, rather than Big Tech and defensive growth. Historically, the shift from the "safety" parts of the market to reflation has been coincident with a bottoming in the major benchmarks. Today's experience has been different, in large part because this recession has differed from prior ones.

While we started the year with an underweight position in equities, we were admittedly too early in making some of our long investments. Also, our hedge book suffered when the pricing of short puts took a hit from the historic spike in volatility, which created temporary negative mark-to-market issues. Nevertheless, we believe that the positions we accumulated over the course of the year will prove attractive as the market rotates into cyclical recovery equities in anticipation of a normalization in the global economy.

During the period in review, long-duration growth equities substantially outperformed value and cyclical ones. While we partially benefitted from the valuation expansion in high-quality growth names, our focus through the second half of the year is squarely concentrated on positioning the portfolio for a normalization of global economic activity. Equity markets tend to lead fundamentals by four to six months, and we expect corporate earnings growth to inflect sharply higher in 2021 as we approach the anniversary of the pandemic.

What helped and hurt performance over the 12-month period?

The Fund's largest contributors were long investments in the communication services and health care sectors, while long exposure in industrials and short hedges on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST hindered performance. Notable contributors during the period included long positions in United Health Group 2.91% (health care), Facebook, Inc. Class A 5.3%* (Communication Services), and Air Products & Chemicals Sold July 2020 (Materials). Detractors included short positions in an S&P 500 ETF Trust -34.7%* (Market Hedge) as well as long positions in Boeing Company 2.04% (Industrials) and L3Harris Technologies, Inc. 4.19%* (Industrials).

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

How is the Fund positioned in the context of the global economic cycle?

Our largest sector weighting is in Industrials, where business activity is poised to inflect positively as the economy reopens. Within the sector, we have increased our exposure to aerospace and defense where concerns over a Democratic sweep constraining defense budgets have weighed excessively on valuations. We continue to emphasize businesses less exposed outside the U.S. due to the recessionary conditions that reared up with the coronavirus outbreak. We expect that as the market gains confidence that trends are finally improving, focus should quickly shift to fully recovered earnings potential in 2022.

Financials are intriguing because the sector is expected to be the largest contributor to 2021 earnings growth, in part because banks are past the peak in loan-loss provisioning. Financials' market cap in the major benchmarks is lower than during the Great Financial Crisis despite net income that is much higher. A steepening U.S. yield curve into 2021 could be a key positive catalyst for the industry. As a result of the new "CECL" accounting standard, loan losses for this cycle have largely been recognized as of Q2. For companies to increase their loan loss provisions further, unemployment would need to spike higher from current level below 8% to over 10% (unlikely in our view).

The prominent feature of this crisis has been the supremacy of technology, reinforcing the belief that we remain in a long, technology-driven investment cycle centered upon data and digitalization. The Fund maintains core positions in some select technology leaders that are outright winners thanks to spending patterns borne out of the crisis. Though a sizable portion of these shifts are structural, some are not, and investors are underestimating the potential for a material pause in technology spending when corporations and consumers alike attempt to normalize economic life. In the wake of unprecedented global stimulus, interest rates are likely at generational lows. Tech in general in addition to the SaaS and Cloud Infrastructure names trading at more than 10 times sales are particularly at risk of a 30% to 60% correction if there is a shift to a rising rate environment. In light of this potential revaluation and loss of momentum, we have shifted exposure to areas where valuations are less extended and where the return of normality in 2021 is welcome rather than a potential risk to the underlying corporate fundamentals.

The overhang for health care during 2020 has been a political risk. We have avoided the traditional pharmaceutical businesses for this reason, but have increased exposure to the managed care space as Biden would likely expand the Affordable Care Act rather than pushing for "Medicare for All." Other core long positions are direct beneficiaries of economic "normality" because they are tied to a recovery in medical procedure volumes, where revenues tend to be delayed rather than lost.

The Fund has been highly selective in its non-U.S. exposure with the exception of a footprint in UK reflationary opportunities. The Brexit saga appears to be concluding at about the same time that equities could assume a more reflationary tone. The Fund has a call option on Sterling as a reflation hedge. The British have held the Continent to a draw in these negotiations, and a mini-trade deal will be concluded. The British economy will be managed in a more pro-growth manner than is possible under the auspices of Brussels.

The risk/reward of the emerging world has not been compelling in 2020 because of U.S. dollar resilience. We see the balance shifting more in favor of non-U.S. equities (with the exception of Europe) into 2021 based upon broader global recovery. That said, many of the Fund's U.S. recovery opportunities must work before these themes are likely to progress abroad.

What is your macro perspective heading into the new year?

The pandemic, its economic consequences and policy responses will have both cyclical and secular implications for financial markets. COVID-19 has arrived at a time of considerable social and political discontent. The U.S. November election will be a litmus test for how these fault lines will shift.

n  The Tyranny of the Virus

n  Central Banking: The Perfect Storm for Duration

n  Growth versus Value; Quarantine versus Recovery

n  American Policy Revolution aka "The New Politics of Stimulus"

The Tyranny of the Virus

Evidence is accumulating that the COVID-19 virus is comparable to others our world has lived with for generations. COVID-19 is capriciously contagious, but not especially lethal.1 in most European countries, for example, the average age of COVID-19 deaths has been above the average life expectancy. It is becoming clearer that the consequences of confinement, including the adverse effects on public wellbeing and personal liberty may be more damaging than the benefits.

The outlook for the resolution of the pandemic is promising. We will shortly see readouts from the Pfizer vaccine trials, with a high likelihood (>80%) of favorable efficacy. The results from four additional vaccine trials will be announced between now and January, and vaccine distribution for the general U.S. population might begin in Q1. Social and economic life could be back to normal by Q2.

Vaccines have been the focus of public perception, but more effective treatments that reduce the mortality rate to parity with the flu (or less) could be just as powerful for behavior. Therapeutics could be easier for medical professionals to administer than vaccines.

This pandemic has been unlike anything experienced by today's investors, taking a considerable toll on society as a whole. There are two silver linings, however, with bullish implications for equities. The first is the link between the virus and the election. The politics of the virus have overwhelmed any disinterested discussion of how social and economic life should adapt to the pandemic. With the conclusion of the November vote, both sides are now incentivized to heal the U.S. economy fully in advance of the 2022 elections.

The second is the obvious point that the virus cannot persist at this level of infection. At their peak pace of October, for example, many countries in Europe will have almost certainly reached herd immunity (>50% of population) by late 2021. Given the extraordinary developments of 2020 including how quickly the virus emerged, investors should assume an abrupt turning point for the better is the likely outcome.

Central Banking: The Perfect Storm for Duration

2020 has thus been the "perfect storm" for duration and for long duration styles within the equity world. This is the outcome of the swiftest economic downturn on record, led by a virus that removed any intellectual doubts as central bankers raced down the road of policy radicalism.

The language of duration in the equity world is "price-to-earnings" or "price-to-sales" multiples. The most expensive stocks whose cash flows are further in the future are

www.calamos.com

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

the largest beneficiaries of artificially low discount rates. Not surprisingly, this has been the defining feature of 2020, with its historic outperformance of quality defensive growth styles.

One wonders whether long duration assets will ever again enjoy as favorable a setting as 2020. To what extent should today's perfect storm be translated as a bubble for its equity derivatives? Coincidentally, now is normally the moment in the cycle—the classic recession-to-recovery stage of the cycle—when valuations should peak and begin a gradual compression as corporate profits recover.

One doesn't have to look far to see a "perfect storm" for reflation in coming years. Together with fiscal activism and more volatility in prices, this reflation will undermine the traditional portfolio construction strategies that have worked well in the past, including the leadership of the U.S. quality growth style.

Growth versus Value; Quarantine versus Recovery

The nuance in today's bifurcation of sectors and styles is that this may not be the old debate between growth versus value, but quarantine and COVID-19 on the one hand versus recovery and normality on the other hand. Cyclicals rather than value are the key beneficiaries of negative interest rates.

One feature of today's pandemic is the dramatic shift in spending patterns as people shelter in place. When consumers can no longer travel and go out to restaurants, they have more disposable income to upgrade computers and mobile phones, spend on groceries, or sink into home-improvement projects.

However, consumers are not happy with how COVID-19 is impacting their lives. The decline in quality of life is palpable everywhere. This implies a shift in spending behavior as powerful as the one apparent in the July earnings season—one that will emerge when COVID-19 fears subside.

There is a disconnect between our expectations for the degree and speed of economic normalization relative to that discounted across equity sectors. The macro backdrop, virus developments and U.S. election are aligning to suggest a more sustained style rotation, something akin to the late 2016/2017 period.

The American Policy Revolution, aka, "The New Politics of Stimulus"

The most lasting impact of today's pandemic may be how it has resuscitated the role of Big Government across many developed societies, which entails giving into the impulse for higher public spending, higher debt levels and greater government interference in many spheres of economic and social life.

One paradox is that this is happening despite the failure of governments to develop an effective and proportionate response to the pandemic. In the future, we believe the mandated confinements of spring will be judged as a momentous policy error. It will likely be years before these conversations can be held.

The November U.S. election symbolizes this handover from monetary to fiscal leadership, which we have labelled the "new politics of stimulus." No political constituency can resist the pressure to engage in deficit spending, which is justified as preserving the social and political status quo. As long as the pandemic continues, there will be negligible discussion of the costs of these policies.

It is notoriously difficult to judge market responses to political events, at least in the short term. In 2016, the consensus opinion was that Wall Street would not react well

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

to the Trump era. We are equally suspicious of the new confidence for equities attached to a Biden presidency.

The explosion of public debt cannot resolve the profound economic and social problems of our age. At some point, overreliance upon debt leads to diminishing economic returns. Today's race to spend without any consideration of the cost is a policy capitulation that is a product of expediency and a confession of failure.

For now, the inevitability of fiscal expansion is supporting equities. The obvious question is, "Where is the coherent exit strategy?" When the moral cover of the pandemic is removed and stimulus must be reined in, equity investors will face a different and difficult environment.

We are not there yet, but the playbook for 2021 is being composed.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We are in the midst of another wave of COVID-19 cases through much of the Western world. This is tempering the pace of recovery, but an actual stall in the economic expansion seems unlikely. The doors for stimulus remain wide open, while there is little political will for renewed confinement. This may be the ideal outcome for equities between now and spring 2021.

We believe the bifurcation between the winners and losers of the pandemic—which has been the dominant feature of 2020—will remain in place as long as the virus persists. However, this bifurcation is unlikely to extend into the new year. Medical science is part of the basis for why today's despondency provides a rotation opportunity for 2021.

The tyranny of COVID-19 must have a sell-by date, if only because it is undermining political authority. A return to normality through vaccines, therapeutics or liability protection (which all adds up to learning to live with the virus) would be reflationary. In whatever manner these catalysts emerge, some instability within equity leadership may be inevitable in coming months.

A sustained rotation into more cyclical, reflationary opportunities rests on the simultaneous embrace of monetary and fiscal profligacy. At the same time, some constraints on inflation are diminishing due to the disintegration of the neoliberal consensus. We believe this will lead to less stability in price and profitability regimes across much of the developed world.

The real question is: "How long will this transition take?" The extended nature of this horizon can be challenging for client expectations, but we think its impact will be visible through 2021. The Fund's positioning reflects the material upside that we envision across many of the "normalization" opportunities in equities.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are the world's most heavily weighted indices of long-duration equities, which explains their long leadership in a deflationary world. Investors can no longer assume that long duration "wins." This is an enormous amount of market capitalization that must be threaded through a needle's eye of cyclical and shorter duration opportunities.

The combination of policy stimulus and the normalization of economic life could drive the S&P 500 towards 4000 in 2021, but as this review highlights, the fault lines of the past decade are beginning to fade. The real problem for equities will emerge when the pandemic passes and policy stimulus must be reined in. Still, we are not there yet. Investors are still climbing the proverbial wall of worry.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end by visiting www.calamos.com. 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. Performance is for the Fund's Class I shares at net asset value. The Fund also offers Class A and Class C shares, the performance of which may vary. Source: Morningstar, Inc.

The performance shown for periods prior to April 6, 2016 is the performance of a predecessor investment vehicle (the "Predecessor Fund"). The Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund on April 6, 2016, the date upon which the Fund commenced operations. On October 1, 2015, the parent company of Calamos Advisors, purchased Phineus Partners LP, the prior investment adviser to the Predecessor Fund ("Phineus"), and Calamos Advisors served as the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser between October 1, 2015 until it was reorganized into the Fund. Phineus and Calamos Advisors managed the Predecessor Fund using investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions that were in all material respects equivalent to those of the Fund. Phineus and Calamos Advisors managed the Predecessor Fund in this manner either directly or indirectly by investing all of the Predecessor Fund's assets in a master fund structure. The Predecessor Fund performance information has been adjusted to reflect Class A, Class C and Class I shares, expenses. However, the Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and thus was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If it had been, the Predecessor Fund's performance may have been lower.

CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Convertible Fund had a positive return of 31.91% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0) increase of 28.10%. For the same period, the S&P 500 Index gained 9.71%.

Since Class I shares inception on June 25, 1997, the Fund returned 8.53% on an annualized basis compared with an annualized gain of 8.40% for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index and a 7.75% annualized return for the S&P 500 Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Markets rose steadily from the beginning of the reporting period until February 19 when the COVID-19 crisis along with OPEC-Russia oil strife triggered a panic sell-off. In a matter of days, three years of equity market gains evaporated. Calamos Convertible Fund displayed the merits of active management, as it participated in the 10/31 to 2/19 advance (Fund: +13.09%, VXA0: +14.50%, S&P 500: +12.18%); held up better during the market's 2/20 to 3/23 decline (Fund: -25.73%, VXA0: -26.75%, S&P 500: -33.79%); and then outperformed the convertible market during the subsequent recovery from 3/24 to 10/31 (Fund: +57.06%, VXA0: +52.73%, S&P 500: +47.71%).

Heading into the COVID-19 crisis, the Fund was well situated with a heavy representation in areas that were poised to benefit, including many technology issuers heavily dominant in areas that allowed people to work, learn, shop, entertain, and receive medical attention from home. In addition, while the convertible market did not initially have exposure to many of the industries most affected by COVID-19 (for example, cruise lines, airlines, and brick-and-mortar retailers), these issuers subsequently tapped the convertible market as they sought access to lower-cost capital to help shore up their balance sheets to better withstand the crisis. We were able to selectively purchase these issues and participate as their underlying stocks began to recover. Overall, new convertible issuance was robust during the period and expanded the opportunity set. Furthermore, this provided an opportunity to rebalance convertibles that had become either too bond sensitive or equity sensitive with convertibles that had more attractive risk/reward profiles.

Our preference for balanced convertibles led us to underweight the most credit-sensitive areas of the market. This served the Fund well when credit spreads widened during the COVID-19 crisis and as equity markets recovered through the remainder of the period. Credit-sensitive convertibles measured by the ICE BofA Yield Alternative US Convertible Index (VYLD) were up 6.47% and strongly underperformed convertibles with more balanced risk/reward attributes (+25.56%) and those with the most equity sensitivity (+54.19%), as measured by the ICE BofA Total Return US Convertible (VTOT) and ICE BofA Equity Alternative US Convertible (VEQU) indices, respectively.

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund benefited most from its underweight position in the financials sector, while favorable security selection in the consumer communication services sector also supported the return. In communication

services, our selection within the interactive home entertainment and alternative carriers industries performed well. Areas that detracted from performance included an underweight position and security selection in health care as well as an overweight allocation to industrials. In health care, holdings in the health care equipment and biotechnology lagged.

How is the Fund positioned?

We have positioned the Fund with the goal of providing upside equity participation along with downside resilience and continue to favor convertibles offering compelling risk/reward characteristics relative to their underlying common stocks. We seek fundamentally sound businesses that can navigate and capitalize on these turbulent times. Our focus includes companies exposed to long-term secular themes that have accelerated during the national quarantine, such as working from home, learning from home, medical treatment from home, shopping from home, and entertainment at home (gaming, streaming, online media). In addition to these online, home-based services that dovetail nicely with our themes, we also consider investing in the technologies that make these interactions and transactions possible, such as cloud computing, internet security, communication infrastructure, and e-payments. In addition, we have balanced these growth names with cyclical names that can benefit as the economy recovers. From a sector standpoint, the Fund's largest weights reside within information technology and consumer discretionary on an absolute basis, while consumer staples and energy represent the smallest weights.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We believe the environment will continue to be attractive for convertible securities and our active approach that balances upside potential with downside resilience. We expect that any additional COVID-19-related fiscal policy will potentially be a powerful force that winnows winners and losers within the financial markets. Any fiscal policy risk comes at a pivotal point in the global economic recovery. When combined with the unprecedented effects of the virus, we have a backdrop of heightened volatility in financial markets. Of course, this is when it pays to remember that the flipside of volatility can be opportunity.

We remain encouraged by the rapid progress toward developing a vaccine and anticipate pent-up consumer demand will be unleashed once we move past the worst of the virus concerns. We also have extremely accommodative global monetary policy, and although this cannot fix the economy by itself, it can buy time as the economy recovers. In addition, there are underlying secular trends that we believe will endure regardless of whatever fiscal policies are implemented.

The hybrid nature of convertibles, which combine the upside potential of equities with downside risk mitigation in the form of a fixed income component, creates an asymmetric risk/reward profile that can help navigate the volatility and capitalize on opportunity. Convertibles have historically been a preferred source of capital for growth companies. Once the policies are understood, we expect issuers to continue looking to convertibles as they implement future growth plans. The convertible market is expanding, we see very attractive supply/demand dynamics, and we are excited about the potential benefits of an actively managed convertible strategy in these unique times.

CALAMOS GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Global Convertible Fund returned 24.36% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index return of 20.82%. We believe balanced convertibles offer the most attractive investment opportunity, given their combination of upside potential and downside resilience. This approach led us to underweight the most equity-sensitive and credit-sensitive convertibles in favor of those with balanced risk/reward attributes. This strategy supported the Fund during the historically volatile period, and we believe the Fund's longer-term performance affirms the wisdom of this strategy. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund increased 8.14% (Class I shares at net asset value) annualized versus a 7.03% gain for the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Markets rose steadily from the beginning of the reporting period until February 19, when the COVID-19 crisis along with OPEC-Russia oil strife triggered a panic sell-off. In a matter of days, three years of equity market gains evaporated. The Calamos Global Convertible Fund displayed the merits of active management as it outperformed in the 10/31/19 to 2/19/20 advance (Fund: +10.09%, RGCI: +9.53%, MSCI World: +9.46%), held up well during the 2/20 to 3/23 decline (Fund: -18.71%, RGCI: -22.00%, MSCI World: -33.93%) and then participated in the subsequent rebound from 3/24 to 10/31 (Fund: +38.96%, RGCI: +41.43%, MSCI World: +45.07%).

Heading into the COVID-19 crisis, the Fund was well situated with a heavy representation in areas poised to benefit, including technologies that enabled people to work, learn, shop, and receive medical attention from home. In addition, while the convertible market did not initially have exposure to many of the industries most affected by COVID-19 (for example, cruise lines, airlines, and brick and mortar retailers), these issuers subsequently tapped the convertible market as they sought access to lower-cost capital to help shore up their balance sheets to better withstand the crisis. We were able to selectively purchase these issues at the bottom of the market and participate as their underlying stocks began to recover. Robust new issuance expanded the opportunity set and, importantly, provided an opportunity to rebalance convertibles that had become either too bond sensitive or equity sensitive with convertibles offering attractive risk/reward profiles.

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund benefited from favorable security selection in the consumer discretionary sector as well as an underweight position and favorable selection in industrials. In consumer discretionary, portfolio holdings in the hotels, resorts & cruise lines, and automobile manufacturers industry supported the return. In industrials, holdings in the aerospace & defense and industrial machinery industries added value. The Fund was held back by an overweight stance and security selection in the consumer staples sector where names in the hypermarkets & super centers and packaged food & meats industries curbed relative returns. In addition, security selection in the real estate sector detracted from the period result, as holdings in real estate operating companies and the diversified real estate activities industries underperformed.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
24



Calamos Global Convertible Fund

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefitted from favorable security selection and an overweight position in the U.S. Similarly, security selection and an underweight allocation in Europe also added value. The Fund's lack of representation in Emerging Latin America weakened relative performance. Also, an underweight stance and security selection in Emerging Europe dampened return.

How is the Fund positioned?

Active management is essential for maximizing the opportunity in global convertibles. We believe that balanced convertibles offer the most attractive opportunity, given their combination of upside potential and downside risk mitigation. The Fund's equity sensitivity was not out of line with prior periods, although relatively less than the broad global convertible market, as measured by the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index. As we continue to actively rebalance the portfolio with the aim of dampening volatility, this continues to be the case. As the market advanced, we were able to switch out convertibles that had become overly equity sensitive with convertibles offering improved risk-reward attributes. When the market fell, we reduced positions in names that had become more bond sensitive and added convertibles with more favorable risk-reward attributes.

From a sector standpoint, the largest portfolio weights are assigned to information technology and consumer discretionary on an absolute basis. Conversely, energy and consumer staples represent the smallest absolute sector weights. We maintain overweight allocations to the application software and real estate operating companies industries. We also maintain underweight allocations to utilities and industrials, with electric utilities (in utilities) and industrial machinery (in industrials) among the underweight industries. Relative to the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, the largest overweight allocations reside in information technology and consumer discretionary while utilities and health care represent the largest underweights.

From a regional standpoint, the Fund's largest weights include the U.S. and Europe. Conversely, EMEA and Canada represent the smallest absolute weights. Relative to the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, the Fund has an overweight stance in the U.S. and Canada with underweight allocations to Europe and Japan. These regional allocations are largely due to bottom-up positioning where we have found attractive convertible opportunities.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

While the current market environment is fraught with uncertainty and volatility that has added to investor anxiety, we believe Calamos Global Convertible Fund is well positioned for good upside potential if markets continue rallying while also dampening any continued volatility. We continue to find attractive opportunities in the secondary market and in new issuance, as companies have brought more than $130 billion to market in 2020 through the end of the reporting period.

In regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are encouraged by progress in vaccine development, especially as treatments seem to be getting incrementally better as well. With the potential for a vaccine to start becoming widely available as soon as late Q1 or early Q2 of 2021, we don't anticipate another round of widespread lockdowns. Therefore, we expect travel and leisure (airlines, cruise ships, Vegas) to start normalizing by Q2 of 2021, in turn driving improvements in the economy and employment. Pairing these factors with loose fiscal and monetary policies should propel equities higher.

We believe convertible securities can provide an excellent way to sleep well and stay invested in the market during volatile times like those in the run up to the recent U.S. election (not to mention all the pandemic-related volatility).

The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these instruments and, accordingly, may result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMALL CAP
GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund gained 37.90% (Class I Shares at net asset value), strongly outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index return of 13.37%.

The Fund's performance benefitted from strong security selection, with Fund holdings outperforming in nine of the eleven sectors. Sector positioning over the course of the reporting period, which was wildly volatile, also contributed to relative performance but to a much lesser extent.

Since Class I shares inception on March 23, 2011, the Fund has returned 13.74% on an annualized basis, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 10.64% over the same period. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance its benchmark over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance over the period?

COVID-19 dominated markets during the period, and had a global impact on monetary policy, fiscal policy, consumption, employment, mobility, and investor sentiment. And if the pandemic wasn't enough for investors to contemplate, a contentious U.S. election drew near as the period ended. All told, an 11-year bull market in U.S. equities came to an abrupt halt with the S&P 500 Index's -34% decline from its February 19 high to March 23 low. At one point during the period, oil prices went negative for the first time in history, as demand fell accompanied by fears over storage capacity. Unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 14.7%. Contemplating this very difficult environment in which to operate, businesses rapidly and dramatically cut their earnings and growth forecasts. Perhaps haunted by memories of slower and tamer responses to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 – 2009, governments and central banks took fast and significant measures to provide stop-gap funding and stimulative conditions. The Cboe Volatility (VIX) Index, a measure of U.S. equity market volatility, began the period with a sanguine reading of 13, registered an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020, and ended the period at a still-elevated reading of 38.

Despite these issues, markets recovered quickly, as investors were able to look through short-term changes and focus again on fundamentals in light of a different economic, health and mobility backdrop. Growth stocks recovered back to prior highs faster than the overall market, as a combination of secular and cyclical growth winners that were well positioned to benefit from a new business and living environment (software, contactless retail & delivery, home improvement) all benefited from investor enthusiasm. At period end, value stocks, as measured by the S&P 1500 Value Index, finished -14.25% below the February 19 high.

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in the equity securities of small-capitalization companies with high, sustainable growth potential, which may exceed market expectations.

KEY FEATURES

n  Combines fundamental research with the analysis of market estimates to identify the underestimated growth differential between a company's business strength and market expectations of that strength.

n  Pursues active management in a less-followed investment space.

n  Analyzes secular trends to uncover exploitable investment opportunities specific to small-cap companies.

PORTFOLIO FIT

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.

Small-cap stocks continued to be largely out of favor to start the period, as investors have primarily focused on large cap growth names that have performed well for many years. Through the market correction in February and March, small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, underperformed with a year-to-date total return of -41% as of the March 23 lows, whereas the S&P 500 Index bottomed with a -25% year-to-date return at that same point in time. From the market lows of March 23, however, small caps have outperformed their large-cap brethren with a 55% return through the end of the reporting period, against the S&P 500 Index's still impressive 48% return over that same time. For the full reporting period, small-cap growth stocks outperformed the overall small-cap market with the Russell 2000 Growth Index climbing 13.37% versus a -0.14% return for the Russell 2000 Index, and a decline of -13.92% for the Russell 2000 Value Index.

The Fund was able to beat the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the period with outperformance during the market's February 19 to March 23 decline, as well as during the market's strong recovery from March 23 to the end of the reporting period. As investors became skittish about economic growth prospects when lockdown began at the pandemic's onset, the portfolio was actively managed to reduce allocations to higher-valued names and the most economically sensitive names. And, equally important, the portfolio actively transitioned back into some economically sensitive holdings that benefited from changing consumption patterns during "life under lockdown" as well as secular growth names that continued to see demand despite the lockdown.

Stock selection significantly drove the Fund's relative outperformance to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, while sector allocation was a more modest contributor during the period. Stock selection finished ahead in nine of the eleven sectors. The Fund's leading security selection and an average overweight stance in information technology boosted relative returns. In particular, our holdings in application software and internet services & infrastructure were leading contributors. Security selection in communication services also added to the Fund's relative and absolute performance. The main contributors within this sector were interactive media & services and alternative carriers. In each case, companies that were helping other businesses and consumers increase productivity and connectivity saw strong demand throughout the entire 12-month period.

An underweight stance within the health care sector hampered relative results, as holdings in the biotechnology and health care supplies industries lost ground on a relative basis. The underweight in health care was attributable to an underweight to biotechnology stocks, whose fortunes are often tied to a single medicine's approval. However, the Fund did hold biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks that had strong returns, including two holdings that were announced in takeover deals toward the end of the reporting period. An overweight stance in energy, specifically in the oil & gas refining & marketing and oil & gas storage & transportation industries, detracted from performance. The overweight to energy was held at the beginning of the period and, while slight, was meaningful as the energy sector struggled mightily on concerns of weak global demand.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund

How is the Fund positioned?

At period end, the Fund maintained an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector and an underweight to the health care sector, with all other sectors largely neutral relative to benchmark weights. During the period, the portfolio was highly active. Most notably, we reduced information technology holdings whose valuations had become lofty. In the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors, we added businesses that appeared to offer sustainable and attractive growth.

We're maintaining our overall tilt toward secular growth names that have strong fundamentals. Additionally, we have invested in cyclical growth businesses that can benefit from economic reopening and offer higher-quality attributes, such as above-average earnings growth. We have been a bit more conscious toward valuation in light of market sentiment, but have not abandoned our focus on sustainable and underestimated growth opportunities.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The recent swings in market performance and sentiment along with significant increases in volatility have rattled many investors. While markets will certainly cheer progress in COVID-19 vaccines or treatments and will likely benefit from reduced uncertainty once election results achieve a degree of clarity, markets don't ever sound an "all-clear" signal to let participants know when it's "safe" to carry on. A diversified, active approach that seeks to take advantage of the market's short-term extremes is more important than ever.

At time of writing for this publication, election results are still unknown, though some manner of divided representation in Washington, D.C. seems most likely. The most recent progress in corporate earnings and profit margins paints an attractive picture for the U.S. economy. A divided government may reduce the likelihood of large tax hikes which, in isolation, will support corporate earnings and stock price valuations as well. Monetary and fiscal policy are still very stimulative, as governments and central banks around the world are still promoting growth initiatives as long run GDP growth overall has been positive but relatively sanguine. As such, businesses with higher growth potential still look very attractive in our view, as the U.S. and the global economies are not the proverbial "rising tide lifting all boats" for the foreseeable future. In our view, a mix of longer-term, secular-growth opportunities along with shorter-term cyclical-growth picks is most prudent.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

As of the prospectus dated 2/28/20, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.38%, Class I shares is 1.14% and Class R6 shares is 1.10%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2022, 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 adviser 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 subtransfer 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. The expense ratios shown above may differ from the more recent expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

†  Average annual total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments as an annualized average assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Load-adjusted returns are adjusted for the maximum front-end sales load of 4.75% for Class A shares.

NOTES:

Effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") through a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund, Class Y shareholders of the Predecessor Fund received Class A shares of the Fund, and Service Class and Institutional Class shareholders of the Predecessor Fund each received Class I shares of the Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund. Accordingly, the performance shown in the average annual total return table above for periods prior to the commencement of the Fund's operations on June 1, 2019 is the performance 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 graphs do not reflect the income taxes that you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Fund performance includes reinvestment of dividends and adjustment for the maximum sales charge for Class A shares. The performance of other classes will vary from the performance of the class shown based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders investing in different share classes.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index is a composite of small cap companies located in the U.S. that also exhibit a growth probability.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund gained 37.25% (Class I Shares at net asset value), strongly outperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index return of 21.71%.

OVERVIEW

PORTFOLIO FIT

Investing in SMID companies is an important component of a diversified investment strategy. Small-to-midsize companies tend to experience greater growth and outperform larger companies, yet this greater potential also raises the potential for greater volatility—which is why we believe active management is crucial.

The Fund was able to beat the Russell 2500 Growth Index for the period with outperformance during the market's February 19 to March 23 decline, as well as outperformance during the market's strong recovery from March 23 to the end of the reporting period.

Over the period, security selection within the consumer discretionary sector weakened relative results, as holdings in casinos & gaming and home furnishing retail lagged on a relative basis. We held casinos & gaming names earlier in the reporting period based on our view that growth potential was underestimated, but that thesis changed dramatically in light of the global pandemic, and we exited land-based casino & gaming names. An overweight stance in energy, specifically in the oil & gas refining & marketing and oil & gas storage & transportation industries, detracted from performance. Even though we held only a slight overweight to energy at the beginning of the period, it had an outsized negative impact as the energy sector struggled mightily due to weak global demand.

At period end, the Fund maintained an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector and underweights relative to the information technology, materials, and health care sectors, with all other sectors largely neutral relative to benchmark weights.

CALAMOS GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Growth Fund gained 19.39% (Class I Shares at net asset value), lagging the S&P 1500 Growth Index return of 22.83%. The Fund generated strong performance in a turbulent year through strength in information technology and consumer discretionary selections. While it outperformed the broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index gain of 9.71% for the 12-month period, the Fund lagged the growth index due to the highly concentrated nature of that index. The top-three names in the S&P 1500 Growth Index accounted for approximately 23% of the index's weight and more than 50% of the index's return for the period.

Since the inception of Class I shares on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 11.21% on an annualized basis. The S&P 1500 Growth Index, the Fund's primary benchmark, returned 8.49% over the same period, and the S&P 500 Index returned 7.51%. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance the growth and broad indices over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance over the period?

COVID-19 dominated markets during the period, and had a global impact on monetary policy, fiscal policy, consumption, employment, mobility, and investor sentiment. And if the pandemic wasn't enough for investors to contemplate, a contentious U.S. election drew near as the period ended. All told, an 11-year bull market in U.S. equities came to an abrupt halt on February 29 when the S&P 500 Index declined -34% to its March 23 low. At one point during the period, oil prices went negative for the first time in history, as demand fell along with fears over storage capacity. Unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 14.7%. Contemplating this very difficult operating environment, businesses rapidly and dramatically cut their earnings and growth forecasts. Perhaps haunted by memories of slower and tamer responses to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 – 2009, governments and central banks took fast and significant measures to provide stop-gap funding and stimulative conditions. The Cboe Volatility (VIX) Index, a measure of U.S. equity market volatility, began the period with a sanguine reading of 13, registered an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020, and ended the period at a still-elevated reading of 38.

Despite these issues, markets recovered quickly, as investors were able to look through short-term changes and focus again on fundamentals in light of a different economic, health and mobility backdrop. Growth stocks recovered back to prior highs faster than the overall market, as a combination of secular and cyclical growth winners that were well positioned to benefit from a new business and living environment (software, contactless retail & delivery, home improvement) all benefited from investor enthusiasm. At period end, value stocks, as measured by the S&P 1500 Value Index, finished -14.25% below their February 19 high mark. For the full 12-month period, growth stocks gained 22.83% as measured by the S&P 1500 Growth Index, value stocks declined -7.61% as measured by S&P 1500 Value Index, and the overall U.S. market gained 9.70% as measured by S&P 500 Index.

Sector leadership heavily favored traditionally higher growth sectors with information technology (+38%), consumer discretionary (+31%), and communication services (+27%) all strongly outperforming the S&P 1500 Growth Index overall and were, in fact, the only sectors to outperform the benchmark. Health care (+17%) generated strong returns as medicines and treatments took on paramount importance in the global pandemic. Materials (+11%), utilities (+6%), consumer staples (+5%), industrials (+0%), financials (-2%), and real estate (-5%), all lagged significantly, while the energy sector (-49%) dramatically underperformed the benchmark.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection and an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector. In particular, automobile manufacturers and internet & direct marketing retail were leading contributors. Internet & direct marketing retail saw a strong upward trend from the shutdown, as businesses offering shopping and delivery services were in high demand. The Fund began the period with a slight overweight to consumer discretionary holdings and saw that overweight increased slightly by period end.

The Fund also benefited from superior selection in the information technology sector. Although the sector was the growth benchmark's leader for the period, Fund holdings were still able to outperform those of the S&P 1500 Growth Index. Most notably, holdings within internet services & infrastructure industry as well as the semiconductor industry were strong absolute and relative contributors.

Investments in the industrials sector detracted from relative performance during the period. Holdings within the aerospace & defense and airlines industries hurt relative performance. The portfolio held many of the names in aerospace & defense and airlines at the beginning of the period based on the premise that a slower-growth economy had led to the over discounting of individual turnaround opportunities. However, this outlook of a gradually improving economy went to the wayside at the onset of the pandemic/lockdown, and holdings were reduced in favor of more attractive opportunities elsewhere.

Health care holdings also detracted slightly from relative returns for the 12-month period. A slight overweight to the sector was additive on a relative basis, but selection within the biotechnology and health care services industries both lagged.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund maintained overweights to information technology and consumer discretionary holdings. Each of these sectors offers a combination of longer-term secular growth and more cyclical growth opportunities due to changing economic conditions. In each case, relative weights increased from the beginning of the period. Additions to information technology shifted the allocation from an underweight at the start of the period to an overweight at the end of the period. When making these additions, we were cognizant of highly crowded and concentrated positions within the growth benchmark, with an eye toward risks in more highly valued names. In terms of reductions, the Fund most significantly reduced its industrials weight, as mentioned previously, preferring to reduce one of the most deeply cyclical areas of the economy for opportunities elsewhere. The Fund is most underweight consumer staples and real estate at the end of the reporting period.

In our view, a combination of longer-term, secular growth opportunities, along with select cyclical growth opportunities makes the most sense in today's market and economic environment. Many of the trends that were in place ahead of the global

outbreak, lockdowns and reduced mobility should remain intact and attractive as the world learns to adapt to this environment and anticipates advances in treatments and potential vaccines. In addition, human ingenuity should not be discounted, and cyclical opportunities that can benefit from changes in behaviors and the eventual reopening should be attractive as well. As such, the Fund is diversified among a range of growth opportunities and has been keenly aware of valuation risks.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The recent swings in market performance and sentiment along with significant increases in volatility have rattled many investors. While markets will certainly cheer progress in COVID-19 vaccines or treatments and will likely benefit from reduced uncertainty once election results achieve a degree of clarity, markets don't ever sound an "all-clear" signal to let participants know when it's "safe" to carry on. A diversified, active approach that seeks to take advantage of the market's short-term extremes is more important than ever.

At time of writing for this publication, election results are still unknown, though some manner of divided representation in Washington, D.C. seems most likely. The most recent progress in corporate earnings and profit margins paints an attractive picture for the U.S. economy. A divided government may reduce the likelihood of large tax hikes which, in isolation, will support corporate earnings and stock price valuations as well. Monetary and fiscal policy are still very stimulative, as governments and central banks around the world are still promoting growth initiatives, and long-run GDP growth overall has been positive but relatively sanguine. As such, businesses with higher-growth potential still look very attractive, as the U.S. and the global economies are not the proverbial "rising tide lifting all boats" in the foreseeable future. In our view, a mix of longer-term, secular growth opportunities along with shorter-term cyclical growth opportunities is most prudent.

CALAMOS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

During the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Growth and Income Fund gained 12.72% (Class I Shares at net asset value), strongly outperforming the all-equity S&P 500 Index's 9.71% return. The ICE BofA All US Convertibles Ex Mandatory Index gained an impressive 31.18% for the period as the asset class helped businesses access capital in extreme economic conditions. We manage the Fund with the goal of achieving upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. Since its Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund returned 9.54% on an annualized basis versus a 7.51% gain for the S&P 500 Index and 8.54% return for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Ex Mandatory Index.

Please discuss the Fund's lower-volatility characteristics.

We believe the Fund's historical lower-volatility characteristics are a byproduct of our investment style and focus on participating in equity market upside with less volatility than the market as a whole. Beta is one popular statistic for measuring volatility. Beta considers a fund's historic volatility versus the market, which is assigned a beta of 1.0. A fund with half the volatility of the market would have a beta of 0.5, while a fund with a beta of 2.0 would have been twice as volatile as the market. Since its inception, the Fund has had a beta of 0.75 (Class I shares) versus the S&P 500 Index. The Fund, therefore, outperformed the broader equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, with less volatility than the equity market. Please note that past performance does not indicate future results and that beta is one of many measures of risk.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

COVID-19 dominated markets during the period, and had a global impact on monetary policy, fiscal policy, consumption, employment, mobility, and investor sentiment. And if the pandemic wasn't enough for investors to contemplate, a contentious U.S. election drew near as the period ended. All told, an 11-year bull market in U.S. equities came to an abrupt halt with the S&P 500 Index's -34% decline from its February 19 high to March 23 low. At one point during the period, oil prices went negative for the first time in history, as demand fell along with fears over storage capacity. Unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 14.7%. Contemplating this very difficult operating environment, businesses rapidly and dramatically cut their earnings and growth forecasts. Perhaps haunted by memories of slower and tamer responses to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 – 2009, governments and central banks took fast and significant measures to provide stop-gap funding and stimulative conditions. The Cboe Volatility (VIX) Index, a measure of U.S. equity market volatility, began the period with a sanguine reading of 13, registered an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020, and ended the period at an elevated reading of 38.

Despite these issues, markets recovered quickly, as investors were able to look through short-term changes and focus again on fundamentals in light of a different economic, health and mobility backdrop. Growth stocks recovered back to prior highs faster than the overall market, as a combination of secular and cyclical growth winners that were

well positioned to benefit from a new business and living environment (software, contactless retail & delivery, home improvement) all benefited from investor enthusiasm. At period end, value stocks, as measured by the S&P 1500 Value Index, finished -14.25% below the February 19 high. For the full 12-month period, growth stocks gained 22.83% as measured by the S&P 1500 Growth Index, value stocks declined -7.61% as measured by S&P 1500 Value Index, and the overall U.S. market gained 9.71% as measured by S&P 500 Index.

Sector leadership heavily favored traditionally higher growth sectors with information technology (+35%), consumer discretionary (+26%), and communication services (+17%), all strongly outperforming the S&P 500 Index's overall 9.70% return. Materials (+13%) and health care (+11%) were also able to outperform the broad market. Consumer staples (+6%), utilities (+2%), industrials (-2%), real estate (-10%) and financials (-14%) all lagged significantly, while the energy sector (-46%) dramatically underperformed the benchmark.

For the full reporting period, the well-diversified portfolio was able to outperform the equity benchmark by actively managing the Fund's risk/reward through the volatile reporting period. While the Fund was able to better manage the downside during the market's plunge from February 19, 2020, through the market low on March 23, 2020, it captured a strong 88% of the S&P 500 Index's upside from the market low to the end of the period. This approach to equity market risk management has been vital to the success of our long-term track record.

Strong issue selection and an overweight position in consumer discretionary was additive to relative performance. Internet & direct marketing retail notably helped, as did hotels, resorts & cruise lines. In each of these industries, the portfolio utilized convertible securities along with common stocks in order to manage risks in businesses that stood to benefit from lockdowns and those that were more economically sensitive and sold off heavily. Favorable security selection and an average underweight position in energy contributed to performance. Specifically, integrated oil & gas and our lack of exposure in oil & gas equipment & services promoted return. Energy was the market's worst performing sector, so the Fund's underweight and use of convertible securities for a portion of the energy investment proved favorable.

Over the period, selection and an average overweight allocation within the industrials sector detracted from return, as holdings in the aerospace & defense and air freight & logistics industries lagged on a relative basis. Holdings within aerospace & defense held at the start of the reporting period with a view that an improving economy would create greater opportunities in the near future, but the global lockdowns disrupted that thesis and the Fund was quite active within the space during a volatile market. A mild underweight to information technology was a drag on relative performance, as information technology was the benchmark's top-performing sector. Valuation concerns prompted the decision to slightly underweight the sector and utilize convertible securities in conjunction with common stocks. Security selection in information technology was modestly above that of the overall market, slightly boosting relative performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

While always risk conscious, the Fund maintains a relatively optimistic positioning relative to equity market risks. Believing that the U.S. equity market may be volatile

Calamos Growth and Income Fund

but upward trending, we continue to position the portfolio with the goal of participating in the U.S. equity market's upside, while providing for resilience during market declines and downside volatility. We believe that actively managing equity market risks by blending equity and convertible securities allows us to construct a portfolio that can provide equity-like returns with significantly less volatility and equity beta over full market cycles.

In terms of positioning, we favor growth areas of the equity market (information technology, consumer and healthcare) with longer-term, sustainable cash flow generation characteristics. We also have cyclical exposure for the economic recovery and effective vaccine base case, which should favor companies that can rapidly grow cash flows from depressed bases. We have taken a laddered approach in these economic recovery areas, owning some areas that are currently recovering and other areas in which recovery will take longer. We continue to utilize convertibles in many higher-risk areas of the market, including more aggressive growth companies as well as deeper cyclical areas, seeking to provide positive asymmetric returns in lower-risk structures.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

We continue to position the Fund for a transitional and volatile macro environment, but with expected positive risk asset returns. The path of the economy and risk assets will be determined by many factors, including the pace of COVID-19 spread in the latest wave, the development of effective vaccines and treatments, the pace of the economic growth with re-opening efforts, as well as monetary and fiscal policy efficacy.

Our view of many of these factors remain the same since the market recovered from the initial COVID-19 downswing, providing a positive-but-volatile path forward based on the following premises: the virus spread remains highly variable, an effective vaccine should be widely available sometime in 2021, the recovery will move forward but at a slower pace until there is a vaccine, and then it accelerates to a more normal level of economic activity, and all the while monetary policy should remain very accommodative.

At the time of this writing, we have yet to see the final results of the U.S. elections, but our previous base case of a divided U.S. government and the passage of an additional fiscal spending bill both seem reasonable. We will continue to monitor this situation and will adjust our view accordingly.

CALAMOS DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Dividend Growth Fund returned 9.46% (Class I shares at net asset value), performing broadly in line with the S&P 500 Index return of 9.71%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Large Blend category average of 6.30% and ranked in the 36th percentile.*

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

COVID-19 dominated markets during the period, and had a global impact on monetary policy, fiscal policy, consumption, employment, mobility, and investor sentiment. And if the pandemic wasn't enough for investors to contemplate, a contentious U.S. election drew near as the period ended. All told, an 11-year bull market in U.S. equities came to an abrupt halt with the S&P 500 Index's -34% decline from its February 19 high to March 23 low. At one point during the period, oil prices went negative for the first time in history, as demand fell along with fears over storage capacity. Unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 14.7%. Contemplating this very difficult operating environment, businesses rapidly and dramatically cut their earnings and growth forecasts. Perhaps haunted by memories of slower and tamer responses to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 – 2009, governments and central banks took fast and significant measures to provide stop-gap funding and stimulative conditions. The Cboe Volatility (VIX) Index, a measure of U.S. equity market volatility, began the period with a sanguine reading of 13, registered an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020, and ended the period at a still-elevated reading of 38.

Despite these issues, markets recovered quickly, as investors were able to look through short-term convulsions and focus again on fundamentals in light of a different economic, health and mobility backdrop. Growth stocks recovered back to prior highs faster than the overall market, as a combination of secular and cyclical growth winners that were well positioned to benefit from the new remote business and living environment (software, contactless retail & delivery, home improvement) all benefited from investor enthusiasm. At period end, value stocks, as measured by the S&P 1500 Value Index, finished -14.25% below their February 19 high mark.

Sector leadership heavily favored traditionally higher-growth sectors with information technology (+35%), consumer discretionary (+26%) and communication services (+17%), all strongly outperforming the S&P 500 Index's overall 9.71% return. Materials (+13%) and health care (+11%) were also able to outperform the broad market. Consumer staples (+6%), utilities (+2%), industrials (-2%), real estate (-10%) and financials (-14%) all lagged significantly, while the energy sector (-46%) dramatically underperformed the benchmark.

*  Data is as of 10/31/20. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods. Calamos Dividend Growth Fund Class I Shares were in the 36th, 40th and 39th percentiles of 1,370, 1,237 and 1,071 funds for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar Large Blend category. Morningstar Large Blend portfolios are fairly representative of the overall U.S. stock market in size, growth rates and price. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. The blend style is assigned to portfolios where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate. These portfolios tend to invest across the spectrum of U.S. industries, and their returns are often similar to those of the S&P 500 Index.

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund

The Fund's relative performance benefited from security selection and an average overweight position in consumer discretionary. In particular, internet & direct marketing retail and home improvement retail bolstered relative returns. Businesses in these spaces were well situated for changing mobility and consumption patterns. In addition, the Fund benefitted from favorable security selection and an average underweight position in real estate. Specifically, our lack of representation in retail REITs and residential REITs provided lift, while real estate securities that the Fund did own strongly outperformed while the sector struggled.

Over the period, security selection and an average overweight allocation within the financials sector detracted from relative results, as holdings in multi-line insurance and diversified banks lost ground on a relative basis. Financials struggled as trends in an improving economy were clearly disrupted by COVID-19 and lockdowns. Selection and an average overweight position in industrials lagged, especially in the aerospace & defense and air freight & logistics industries, as businesses that looked attractive in an improving economy went into stasis.

How is the Fund positioned?

At period end, the Fund had a modest overweight to consumer discretionary holdings, countered by modest underweights to more outright defensive real estate and health care. While always very risk conscious, the Fund maintains a relatively optimistic stance relative to equity market risks. Believing that the U.S. equity market may be volatile but upward trending, we continue to position the portfolio with the goal of participating in the U.S. equity market's upside, while providing resilience during market declines and downside volatility. We believe that actively managing equity market risks by blending equity and convertible securities allows us to construct a portfolio that can provide equity-like returns with significantly less volatility and equity beta over full market cycles.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

We continue to position the Fund for a transitional and volatile macro environment, but with expected positive risk-asset returns. The path of the economy and risk assets will be determined by many factors, including the pace of COVID-19 spread, the development of effective vaccines and treatments, the pace of economic growth with the re-opening, as well as monetary and fiscal policy efficacy.

Our view of many of these factors has been consistent since the market recovered from the downswing from COVID-19 lockdown downswing, providing a positive but volatile path forward: the virus spread remains highly variable, an effective vaccine should be widely available sometime in 2021, the economic recovery moves forward but at a slower pace until there is a vaccine and then accelerates to a more normal level of activity, and monetary policy should remain very accommodative.

At the time of this writing, we do not yet know the final results of the U.S. election as the Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs and Trump's refusal to concede hang over the country, but our previous base case of a divided U.S. government and the passage of additional fiscal spending bill both seem reasonable. We will continue to monitor this situation and will adjust our view accordingly.

CALAMOS SELECT FUND

(formerly, Calamos Opportunistic Value Fund)

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Select Fund returned 5.92% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 1500 Value Index return of -7.59%, but lagging the broad market as measured by the S&P 500 Index 9.71% gain.

Seeking to improve the opportunity set rather than limit the focus to the value side of U.S. equity markets, the Fund changed its primary benchmark on February 28, 2020, from the S&P 1500 Value Index to the S&P 500 Index, which more closely aligns with the Fund's investment universe, and additionally changed its name to Calamos Select Fund.

Since the Fund declared the change in benchmark on February 28, 2020, Calamos Select Fund returned +10.27% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 1500 Value Index return of -1.66%, but lagging the broad market as measured by the S&P 500 Index return of +12.03%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

COVID-19 dominated markets during the period, and had a global impact on monetary policy, fiscal policy, consumption, employment, mobility, and investor sentiment. And if the pandemic wasn't enough for investors to contemplate, a contentious U.S. election drew near as the period ended. All told, an 11-year bull market in U.S. equities came to an abrupt halt with the S&P 500 Index's -34% decline from its February 19 high to March 23 low. At one point during the period, oil prices went negative for the first time in history, as demand fell along with fears over storage capacity. Unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 14.7%. Contemplating this very difficult environment in which to operate, businesses rapidly and dramatically cut their earnings and growth forecasts. Perhaps haunted by memories of slower and tamer to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 – 2009, governments and central banks reacted in fast and significant measures to provide stop-gap funding and stimulative conditions. The Cboe Volatility (VIX) Index, a measure of U.S. equity market volatility, began the period with a sanguine reading of 13, registered an alarming 82 by mid-March 2020, and ended the period at a still-elevated reading of 38.

Despite these issues, markets recovered quickly, as investors were able to look through short-term changes and focus again on fundamentals in light of a different economic, health and mobility backdrop. Growth stocks recovered back to prior highs faster than the overall market, as a combination of secular and cyclical growth winners that were well positioned to benefit from a new business and living environment (software, contactless retail & delivery, home improvement) all benefited from investor

enthusiasm. At period end, value stocks, as measured by the S&P 1500 Value Index, finished -14.25% below the February 19 high.

Sector leadership heavily favored traditionally higher growth sectors with information technology (+35%), consumer discretionary (+26%), and communication services (+17%), all strongly outperforming the S&P 500 Index's overall 9.70% return. Materials (+13%) and health care (+11%) were also able to outperform the broad market. Consumer staples (+6%), utilities (+2%), industrials (-2%), real estate (-10%) and financials (-14%) all lagged significantly, while the energy sector (-46%) dramatically underperformed the benchmark.

Fund holdings in the information technology sector contributed the most to Fund performance and outperformed those of the S&P 500 Index. Names in the internet services & infrastructure industry and the semiconductor industry showed notable strength. During the period, the Fund increased its allocation to the sector, ending the period with a very slight underweight relative to the index. The Fund's real estate stocks were also strong contributors. While the sector delivered negative returns and significantly underperformed the broad market, Fund holdings delivered strong positive returns and outperformed handily. The Fund's real estate underweight added value as well.

An overweight to the cyclically oriented industrials sector and issue selection detracted from Fund performance. Specifically, holdings in the trucking and airlines industries hurt relative returns. Airlines holdings struggled during the period, as global travel slowed to a near standstill. The Fund was very active in the industrials sector during the period, looking to decrease exposures during the market sell-off and selectively adding to businesses with the potential to benefit as conditions improve. Holdings in financials detracted from the Fund's performance during the period, underperforming those of the S&P 500 Index, and an overweight to the sector was a drag on performance as well. The financials sector struggled in light of the historic economic slowdown despite attractive valuations, and Fund holdings in multi-line insurance and consumer finance weighed heavily on performance results during the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund holds slight overweights to the industrials, financials and health care sectors, with underweights to outright defensive areas of the market such as real estate. The portfolio favors large-cap strong franchises and holds names across the spectrum of growth and value, with a bias toward growth stocks at period end. As the U.S. and global economy are recovering, the long-run growth prospects are still positive. As investors tend to favor what is most difficult to find, companies that may be able to generate higher growth in a lower-growth world remain attractive investments. However, many businesses that have not been in the market headlines as winners in the economic lockdown are also attractive opportunities as overly pessimistic views of growth potential have priced them to attractive levels.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The recent swings in market performance and sentiment along with significant increases in volatility have rattled many investors. While markets will certainly cheer

progress in COVID-19 vaccines or treatments and will likely benefit from reduced uncertainty once election results achieve a degree of clarity, markets don't ever sound an "all-clear" signal to let participants know when it's "safe" to carry on. A diversified, active approach that seeks to take advantage of the market's short-term extremes is more important than ever.

At time of writing for this publication, election results are still unknown, though some manner of divided representation in Washington, D.C. seems most likely. The most recent progress in corporate earnings and profit margins paints an attractive picture for the U.S. economy. A divided government may reduce the likelihood of large tax hikes which, in isolation, will support corporate earnings and stock price valuations as well. Monetary and fiscal policy are still very stimulative, as governments and central banks around the world are still promoting growth initiatives as long run GDP growth overall has been positive but relatively sanguine. The Fund holds a mix of large-cap, well-known businesses in a range of secular and cyclical industries. Holdings are diversified across attractively valued businesses that may be well poised to be significant market-share winners as U.S. and global economies re-emerge and growth markets strengthen.

Calamos International Growth Fund

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos International Growth Fund returned 28.06% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 5.53% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and a -2.19% return for the MSCI ACWI Ex US Index. The Fund's one-year return finished in the top 8th percentile of the Morningstar Foreign Large-Growth category,* reflecting the benefit of our active investment approach, which was instrumental in adapting to high volatility during the COVID-19 market drawdown and capturing the upside in foreign stocks as the recovery unfolded over the last six months of the period.

Since its inception on March 16, 2005, the Fund has returned 8.09% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 5.86% increase for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and 4.78% return for the MSCI ACWI Ex US Index. We believe this long-term record demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate excess returns in international growth equities over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Over the 12-month period, International stocks confronted an environment of historic uncertainty and volatility. In the first half of the period, international stocks responded to positive earnings growth, seeming progress in global trade negotiations and accommodative central bank policy. The second half of the period saw a significant shift in global market conditions following the sharp correction as investors reeled from the explosive spread of COVID-19 and its abrupt impact on economic activity.

The Fund's strong performance during this trying year was attributable to leading security selection versus the benchmark as well as favorable top-down positioning in both sectors and regions. Many of the Fund's holdings in companies with advantaged business models and exposure to our secular themes performed well versus the anemic international growth environment.

From a sector perspective, the Fund's security selection in technology and consumer discretionary added significant value, as holdings with more resilient fundamentals in the software and internet retail industries saw strong returns amid acceleration in key secular themes. The Fund's slight holdings in utilities trailed the index and the average underweight in materials also hampered returns over the period.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund's holdings in Emerging Asia, Europe and Japan generated strong relative returns and contributed to Fund performance, as

*  Data is as of 10/31/20. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. Calamos International Growth Fund Class I Shares were in the 8th, 20th, 19th and 22nd percentiles of 456, 405, 322 and 237 funds for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category. Foreign Large-Growth portfolios focus on high-priced growth stocks, mainly outside of the U.S. Most of these portfolios divide their assets among a dozen or more developed markets, including Japan, Britain, France and Germany. These portfolios primarily invest in stocks that have market caps in the top 70% of each economically integrated market (such as Europe or Asia ex Japan). 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). These portfolios typically will have less than 20% of assets invested in U.S. stocks.

OVERVIEW

The Fund offers a dynamic approach to accessing international growth opportunities. We apply our active investment approach to build a portfolio of companies with superior growth and quality attributes across developed and emerging market.

KEY FEATURES

n  Identifies companies with compelling growth, competitive advantages and financial strength.

n  Identifies durable secular themes that provide a tailwind for sustainable growth and a franchise premium.

n  Investment universe spans geographies and market caps, providing a wide breadth of opportunities.

n  Takes environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into account, evaluating the effects on a company's risk profile, cash flow and long-term returns.

companies with leading businesses outpaced benchmark peers. The Fund's modest holdings in Emerging Europe lagged the index return in the region, and an average underweight to Japan also detracted from fund performance over the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's regional and country positioning reflects the combined inputs from our top-down global framework and our bottom-up security analysis. Our investment team evaluates macroeconomic factors and growth opportunities and actively integrates these into the investment decision-making process.

The Fund is positioned with a combination of core and secular growth companies, in addition to increased cyclical opportunities given our positive outlook on the economic recovery. Technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, health care, and communication services represent the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industry positions include semiconductors, interactive media & services, internet retail, diversified banks, life science tools, and industrial machinery. We hold selective weights in energy and materials, owning companies with more flexible balance sheets and positioned to benefit from recovering global commodities demand. We hold lesser weights in more defensive areas including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms, given our more positive view on prospects for the economic recovery.

From a geographic perspective, we own a diversified set of holdings in Europe, with a blend of end markets and business types. Positioning is largely in global secular demand areas and, in some cases, more regionally exposed businesses. We've increased our opportunity set in Japan. Fiscal stimulus and monetary policies are extremely accommodative in Japan, and we view the change in political leadership as a positive for demand and innovation. We have a favorable outlook on emerging markets and own investments within key demand areas such as interactive media & services, e-commerce, semiconductors, higher-quality banks and insurance.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

International markets continue to navigate a range of crosscurrents . We are analyzing the global recovery and many aspects of economic activity, alongside policy actions and the path of corporate earnings. Monetary policy remains highly accommodative as central banks support liquidity, while fiscal authorities are implementing a wide range of programs to boost economic activity. Against the complex backdrop, we see opportunities in international stocks, reflective of abundant global liquidity, the record level of coordinated stimulus, positive earnings trends and vaccine progress. Despite these positive developments, we are mindful that markets will likely remain volatile and we remain closely attuned to risks. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the opportunities in international equities.

The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 0.85% less the annual sub-transfer agency ratio for the Fund. The annual sub-transfer agency ratio is equal to the aggregate sub-transfer agency expenses common to the other share classes of the Fund divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes.

CALAMOS EVOLVING WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund returned 40.16% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the 8.62% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. For the one-year period, the Fund's return landed in the 2nd percentile of the Morningstar Diversified Emerging Markets category,* reflecting the benefit of our risk-managed investment approach, which dampened volatility during the COVID-19-triggered drawdown and realized increased opportunities as the recovery unfolded.

Since its inception on August 15, 2008, the Fund has returned 6.46% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared to a 3.84% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate competitive long-term returns while pursuing an active, risk-managed investment approach to emerging market opportunities over multiple market cycles.

What factors influenced performance?

Emerging markets navigated multiple cross-currents over the 12-month period, marked by significant change and volatility in the global economy. During the first half of the period, emerging market stocks and convertibles advanced against a backdrop of positive earnings growth, seeming progress in global trade negotiations and accommodative central bank policy. The second half of the period ushered in a significant shift in market conditions and a sharp market correction, as investors reeled from the explosive spread of COVID-19 and its abrupt impact on economic activity and market volatility.

The Fund's outperformance was primarily attributable to the benefit of active risk management tactics, which included using convertible bonds to fortify downside resilience and enhance strong upside capture during the tumult. In addition, the Fund benefited from favorable top-down positioning in sectors and regions as well as leading individual security selection. Many of the Fund's core holdings in emerging market companies with advantaged business models and secular demand tailwinds performed well as investors rewarded these companies in a turbulent period.

From a sector perspective, the Fund added value in terms of sector positioning and security selection. The Fund's security selection in communication services, consumer discretionary and financials added the most value, as holdings outperformed thanks to a combination of resilient business models, quality balance sheets and better growth prospects. The Fund's modest overweight in industrials and holdings in the technology hardware and storage industry hampered results in the period.

OVERVIEW

The Fund offers an active, risk-managed strategy to access growth opportunities in emerging markets. The Fund invests in emerging market-domiciled and developed market-domiciled companies with significant revenue exposures attributable to emerging markets.

KEY FEATURES

n  Focuses on higher-quality companies with compelling growth attributes.

n  Conducts research across the capital structure and utilizes Calamos' experience in convertible securities to dynamically manage the risk profile.

n  Emphasizes countries enacting structural reforms and improving economic freedoms, which we believe enhances growth prospects and mitigates risk.

n  Identifies durable secular themes that provide a tailwind for sustainable growth and a franchise premium.

PORTFOLIO FIT

Because of its focus on risk management, the fund can serve as a long-term emerging market allocation.

Diversified emerging-markets portfolios tend to divide their assets among 20 or more nations, although they tend to focus on the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America rather than on those of the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. These portfolios invest predominantly in emerging market equities, but some funds also invest in both equities and fixed income investments from emerging markets.

In terms of geographic returns, the Fund's security selection in EM Asia added the most value owing to individual selection, while our modest average underweight in the region detracted value. Fund holdings in Latin America and Emerging Europe also outperformed and benefited returns. From a country perspective, security selection in China, Taiwan and Brazil added significant value to returns while the Fund's average overweight to India hampered returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

n  We have a positive view of the investment opportunities unfolding in emerging markets. We are positioning the Fund in order to participate in the potential upside as economic conditions improve globally and in many emerging markets.

n  Our positioning favors economies benefiting from improving domestic demand trends. We favor investments in Emerging Asia with China, Taiwan and India among our largest country weights. We also see individual company opportunities in South Korea, Brazil, Mexico and Hong Kong, among other markets.

n  We favor a blend of investments in secular growth businesses, in addition to opportunities with more cyclical characteristics that we believe are well-positioned for a positive inflection in the economy.

n  From a sector perspective, the largest allocations reside in the technology, consumer discretionary, communication services and financials sectors. We favor businesses in semiconductors, internet retail, interactive media & services, and higher-quality diversified banks that offer attractive business models, access large addressable markets and align with our key secular themes.

n  We have an underweight stance in more defensive areas including utilities and consumer staples. In the energy and materials sectors, we own select opportunities in names with better capital management practices and an ability to leverage improving demand.

n  At the individual company level, we favor businesses with growth catalysts, attractive capital efficiency, and stronger balance sheets, which are supported by positive views on their competitive positioning. In line with our process, we emphasize companies benefiting from secular themes that provide a tailwind for sustainable growth into the future.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Emerging markets continue to navigate a range of crosscurrents and highly disparate conditions depending on the country. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside policy actions and the path of company fundamentals. Monetary policy is extremely accommodative as central banks support liquidity, while fiscal authorities are implementing a wide range of programs to boost economic activity. Against the complex backdrop, we see opportunities in emerging markets, reflective of a pickup in activity in key markets, abundant global liquidity and a weaker dollar.

CALAMOS GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Global Equity Fund returned 30.46% (Class I shares at net asset value), versus a 4.91% return for the MSCI World Index and 5.42% gain for the MSCI ACWI Index. The Fund's one-year return was in the top 7th percentile of the Morningstar World Large Stock category,* reflecting the benefit of our active investment approach, which was instrumental in adapting to higher volatility during the COVID-19 market drawdown and capturing the upside in global stocks as the recovery has unfolded over the last six months.

Since its inception on March 2, 2007, the Fund has returned 8.88% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 5.97% gain for the MSCI World Index and 5.77% return for the MSCI ACWI Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate long-term excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Global stocks navigated significant crosscurrents over the 12-month period, during a time of significant change and volatility in the global economy. During the first half of the period, global equities responded to positive earnings growth, progress in global trade negotiations and accommodative central bank policy. The second half of the period saw a significant shift in market conditions following the sharp correction in global markets as investors reeled from the explosive spread of COVID-19 and its abrupt impact on economic activity.

The Fund's outperformance was attributable to favorable top-down positioning in sectors and regions as well as the contribution from leading individual securities. Many of the Fund's holdings in global companies with advantaged business models and exposure to our secular themes performed well versus the anemic global backdrop.

From a sector perspective, the Fund's security selection in technology and consumer discretionary added significant value, as holdings in the software and internet retail industries outperformed thanks to acceleration in key secular themes and better fundamentals amid the pandemic and recovery. The Fund's selection in real estate and consumer staples hampered returns, as our holdings did not keep pace with the index over the period.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund's holdings in Emerging Asia, the U.S. and Europe generated strong relative returns and contributed to Fund performance, as companies with leading businesses outpaced benchmark peers. The Fund's average underweight in the U.S. and modest overweight to Europe negatively affected relative returns, while our individual holdings outperformed the benchmark in both regions.

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in equities of companies around the globe. We seek firms demonstrating what we believe to be key growth characteristics, including increasing profit margins and high returns on invested capital.

KEY FEATURES

n  Flexibly seeks growth globally, searching for the best risk/reward opportunities across countries, market capitalizations and sectors.

n  Seeks global growth companies that may benefit from long-term secular themes, including a burgeoning global middle class and increasing demand for information and entertainment.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can serve as a growth-oriented addition to a strategic global equity allocation and may complement or provide an alternative to value or blended styles.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's regional and country positioning reflects the combined inputs from our top-down global framework and our bottom-up security analysis. Our investment team evaluates macroeconomic factors and growth opportunities and actively integrates these into the investment decision-making process.

The Fund is positioned with a combination of core and secular growth companies, in addition to increased cyclical opportunities given our positive outlook on the global recovery. We favor investments in companies with advantaged business models, positive catalysts and the ability to compound growth over the medium to longer-term period. From a thematic and sector perspective, we see opportunities in information technology, communications services, consumer discretionary, industrials and health care companies with competitive advantages that target critical demand areas. Key industry positions include semiconductors, interactive media & services, internet retail, diversified banks, life science tools, and industrial machinery. We hold lesser weight in more defensive areas including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms due to our sanguine view on prospects for the economic recovery. We are selective in energy and materials, holding companies with more flexible balance sheets and positioned to benefit from recovering global commodities demand.

From a geographic perspective, we own a diversified set of leading secular growth businesses and select cyclicals in the U.S. We own a range of holdings in Europe, with a blend of end markets and business types. Positioning is largely in global secular demand areas and, in some cases, more regionally exposed businesses. We see increasing opportunities in Japan. Fiscal stimulus and monetary policies are extremely accommodative, and we view the change in political leadership to be a positive for businesses ahead. We have a positive outlook on emerging markets and own investments within demand areas such as interactive media & services, e-commerce, semiconductors, higher-quality banks and insurance.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Markets continue to navigate a range of crosscurrents in global stocks. We are analyzing the global recovery and many aspects of economic activity, alongside policy actions and the path of corporate earnings. Global monetary policy remains highly accommodative as central banks support liquidity, while fiscal authorities are implementing a wide range of programs to boost economic activity. Against the complex backdrop, we see opportunities in global stocks, reflective of abundant global liquidity, the record level of coordinated stimulus, positive earnings trends and vaccine progress. Despite these positives, we are mindful that markets will likely remain volatile and we remain closely attuned to risks.

Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the opportunities in global equity markets.

As of the prospectus dated 2/28/20, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.51%, Class C shares is 2.26%, Class I shares is 1.26% and Class R6 shares 1.19% (as of prospectus dated 6/23/20). The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2022 to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A, Class C, and Class I are limited to 1.40%, 2.15%, and 1.15% of average net assets, respectively. As of the prospectus dated 6/23/20 the Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed through March 1, 2022 to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 1.15% less the annual sub-transfer agency ratio for the Fund. The annual sub-transfer agency ratio is equal to the aggregate sub-transfer agency expenses common to the other share classes of the Fund divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes. For purposes of this expense limitation, 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 Fund'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. The expense ratios shown above may differ from the more recent expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

CALAMOS GLOBAL GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund returned 19.33% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 5.42% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 4.91% increase for the MSCI World Index. The Fund's one-year return was in the top percentile of the Morningstar World Allocation category,* reflecting the benefit of our active risk-managed global approach, which was instrumental in dampening volatility during the COVID-19 market drawdown and adapting to opportunities as the recovery unfolded.

Since its inception on September 10, 1996, the Fund has returned 7.47% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.16% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 6.24% gain in the MSCI World Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate attractive long-term returns while pursuing an active, risk-managed investment approach over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Global markets navigated significant crosscurrents over the 12-month period, during a time of significant change and volatility in the global economy. During the first half of the period, global stocks and convertibles responded to a backdrop of positive earnings growth, progress in global trade negotiations and accommodative central bank policy. The second half of the period ushered in a significant shift in market conditions following a sharp correction in global markets, as investors reeled from the explosive spread of COVID-19 and its abrupt impact on economic activity.

The Fund's outperformance was primarily attributable to the benefit of active risk-management tactics, which included using convertible bonds to fortify downside resilience and enhance strong upside capture during the tumult. In addition, the Fund benefited from favorable top-down positioning in sectors and regions as well as contributions from leading individual security selection. Many of the Fund's core holdings in global companies with advantaged business models and secular demand tailwinds performed well against a turbulent backdrop.

From a sector perspective, the Fund's security selection in technology and consumer discretionary added significant value, as holdings in the software and internet retail industries outperformed due to leading fundamentals that held up well during the pandemic and recovery. The Fund's selection in industrials and utilities hampered returns, as our holdings did not keep pace with the index over the year.

*  Data is as of 10/31/20. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund Class I Shares were in the 1st, 2nd, 2nd and 7th percentiles of 470, 388, 338 and 205 funds for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar World Allocation category. World-allocation portfolios seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. While these portfolios do explore the whole world, most of them focus on the U.S., Canada, Japan, and the larger markets in Europe. It is rare for such portfolios to invest more than 10% of their assets in emerging markets. These portfolios typically have at least 10% of assets in bonds, less than 70% of assets in stocks, and at least 40% of assets in non-U.S. stocks or bonds.

Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund

From a geographic perspective, the Fund's holdings in Emerging Asia, the U.S. and Europe generated strong relative returns and contributed to performance, as companies with leading businesses outpaced benchmark peers. The Fund's holdings in Canada lagged the benchmark and hampered results over the year.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's regional and country positioning reflects the combined inputs of our top-down global framework and bottom-up security analysis. Our investment team continually evaluates macroeconomic factors and growth opportunities and actively integrates these into investment decision making.

We positioned the Fund with a combination of core and secular growth companies, in addition to increased cyclical opportunities given our positive stance on the global recovery. Technology, consumer discretionary, health care, communication services and industrials are the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industry positions include semiconductors, interactive media & services, internet retail, health care equipment, and industrial machinery. We hold lesser weight in more defensive areas including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms due to our more positive view on prospects for the economic recovery. We are selective in energy and materials, holding companies with more flexible balance sheets and positioned to benefit from recovering global commodities demand.

From a geographic perspective, we own a diversified set of leading secular growth businesses and select cyclicals in the U.S., in both equities and convertible securities to actively manage the risk profile. We own a range of holdings in Europe, with a blend of end markets and business types. Positioning is largely in global secular demand areas and in some cases more regionally exposed businesses. We see increasing opportunities in Japan. Fiscal stimulus and monetary policies are extremely accommodative, and we view the change in political leadership to be a positive for businesses ahead. We have a positive outlook on emerging markets and own investments within demand areas such as interactive media & services, e-commerce, semiconductors, higher quality banks and insurance.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Global markets continue to navigate a range of significant crosscurrents. We are analyzing the global recovery and many aspects of economic activity, alongside policy actions and the path of corporate earnings. Global monetary policy remains highly accommodative as central banks support liquidity, while fiscal authorities are implementing a wide range of programs to boost economic activity. Against the complex backdrop, we see opportunities in global stocks and convertibles, reflective of abundant global liquidity, coordinated stimulus, positive earnings trends and progress in vaccine development. Despite these potential positives, we are mindful that markets will likely remain volatile and we remain closely attuned to risks.

CALAMOS TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, the Fund returned 5.34% (Class I shares at net asset value) underperforming the 6.19% return for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

Since its inception on September 19, 2018, the Fund gained 4.55% on an annualized basis (class I share at net asset value) in line with the 4.58% return for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

The last year has been a maelstrom. After seeing risk assets take the lead through the tail of 2019 and into 2020, domestic equity markets traded to all-time highs in mid-February and corporate bond spreads in both the high yield and investment-grade markets traded near cyclical tights during the same time frame.

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread worldwide, it forced global supply-chain shutdowns. With a broad swath of service industries shuttered, liquidity in credit markets dried up quickly, spiraling into the most drastic correction in market history. Fortunately, fiscal and monetary responses were rapid and strong, both domestically and globally. Initially, the Fed slashed its overnight rate from 1.50% to 0.00% in a pair of inter-meeting cuts while introducing hundreds of billions of dollars in repo lines intended to keep the financial system functioning normally with good liquidity. It reintroduced quantitative easing on a previously before unseen scale, taking over $650 billion of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities out of the market per week. This weekly operation size is equivalent to the size of the entire QE2 program enacted in 2010. Those efforts were combined with several new programs aimed at stabilizing markets ranging from corporate bonds to asset-backed securities to municipal bonds.

In addition to the strong fiscal measures taken, Congress and the administration worked together to pass the $2 trillion CARES Act, which provided additional unemployment benefits and stimulus checks to individuals, while also funding support for small and large businesses, state and local governments, and public schools. Two further rounds of fiscal stimulus followed. The lead up to the 2020 election resulted in gridlock on an additional stimulus package, but it seemed that, regardless of the election results, more stimulus would be forthcoming once the events of early November passed. And more fiscal support is something Chair Powell has long been recommending in Congressional testimony.

The annual reporting period was certainly one of the more extreme examples in recent memory as a risk-on environment, with the exception of a one-month period between February and March. After trading at or near 100 basis points the first four months of the annual period, the option adjusted spread on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Corporate Index traded as wide as 373 basis-points on March 24 before ending the period at 125 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries. This means that investment-grade credit markets have almost fully retraced the risk-off trade that occurred immediately following the global outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

Treasury yields moved substantially lower with two, five, ten and thirty year maturities falling by 137, 113, 82 and 52 basis points, respectively, though much of the Treasury market move occurred in the first half of the annual period. In fact, the second half of the reporting period resulted in higher Treasury yields intermediate and long term. This has been driven by the unprecedented monetary policy and continued messaging from the Fed that short rates will be kept at zero until the U.S. again reaches full employment. The Fed also changed their methodology on inflation targeting, and will allow inflation to run above its historic 2% target with the intention of averaging 2% over time. The Treasury and corporate components of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index led sector with 7.0% returns; government-related securities returned 4.4%; and securitized products trailed other sectors, returning 4.1%.

The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the annual review period. The overweight allocation to corporate bonds in financial sectors was a detractor from performance, as was our security selection among industrial sectors. The overweight allocation to the asset-backed security sector also weighed on performance. Conversely, the team's security selection in both Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities supported performance. While we did reduce the corporate allocation during the year, we continue to favor a long-term overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the Fund, as the additional yield has historically generated superior returns over time.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 5.6 years, short of the 6.1 years duration of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment-grade and out-of-benchmark high yield ratings categories. These overweight's led to a lower overall credit quality of A when compared with the AA- quality of the

benchmark. The strong rally in Treasury rates coupled with the slight widening of spreads in risk assets led to positive returns during the reporting period, though finishing behind both the peer group average and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund continues to hold overweight positions in corporate and asset-backed securities and underweight positions in Treasuries and Agencies following the changes. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations are found in the consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

At the time of publication, it appears that we are heading for a divided government. A resolution to the election should bring some additional calm to the market despite the fact that we continue to deal with large uncertainties concerning the third surge of COVID-19 cases and the potential for restrictions. The market generally appreciates some form of checks and balances among the executive and legislative branches. In the event of a divided government, we do not expect a large reaction in either. However, should a single party come to control both legislative branches and the presidency, we would anticipate further volatility on fears of larger policy shifts that upend taxes and regulations.

From both a monetary and fiscal perspective, we believe additional stimulus is coming, either in the lame duck session before January, or when those newly elected assume power. We do not believe that the Fed is out of options to provide additional monetary stimulus, but they are close to being out of good options. We expect to see various winners and losers among industries and companies, which underscores the importance of active management. We continue to adhere to our disciplined approach of building portfolios bond-by-bond with a focus on being well compensated for the risks taken.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund returned 1.38% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a gain of 3.42% for the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

Since its inception on August 2, 1999, the Fund gained 6.06% on an annualized basis (Class I share at net asset value) versus a 7.88% return for the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

In addition to the strong fiscal measures taken, Congress and the administration worked together to pass the $2 trillion CARES Act, which provided additional unemployment benefits and stimulus checks to individuals, while also funding support for small and large businesses, state and local governments, and public schools. Two further rounds of fiscal stimulus followed. The lead up to the 2020 election resulted in gridlock on an additional stimulus package, but it seemed that, regardless of the election results, more stimulus would be forthcoming once the events of early November passed. And more fiscal support is something Chair Powell has long been recommending in Congressional testimony.

Before the COVID crisis, high yield spreads had spent several months trading in a range of 315-400 basis points on an option adjusted basis. Prior to the Fed announcing its intention to support corporate credit markets through both primary and secondary market purchase programs, fear of widespread liquidity issues took spreads on the broad high yield market out to 1100 basis points. In addition to purchasing investment-grade bonds, the Fed announced that its program would include the purchase of BB-rated credits, subject to some qualifications. This support for corporate bond markets led to a large retracement of roughly half of the spread widening before we published our semiannual report from April 30, 2020. In the six months that followed, the high yield market continued to rally, and spreads have retraced just over 80% of the move wider from February and March. This is quite remarkable considering the level of COVID-19-related uncertainty. The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index closed the annual period with option adjusted spreads at 509 basis points over like maturity Treasuries. Excluding energy, the yield on the index closed at 5.33%.

Higher-quality, below-investment-grade bonds rated BB delivered returns of 6.5%, trailed by B rated issuers at 1.9%, whereas CCC-rated issuers delivered a loss of -3.1%. At the beginning of the annual period, the trailing 12-month default rate was 2.8%, still running lower than the long-term average of 3.5%. At the end of the reporting period, default rates had increased to 6.3%, much of which was driven by energy-related businesses in both the exploration & production industry and oil field services, along with a significant reckoning from the retail industry. We could see defaults rise above current levels, though we continue to expect that peak defaults of this cycle to remain below the 11% peak of the Great Financial Crisis. Regarding our credit-quality positioning, our underweight to BB-rated bonds weighed on performance, while security selection among our CCC-rated holdings was a positive.

From a sector perspective, security selection within the consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors contributed to return. Conversely, both our weighting to and security selection within the energy sector detracted from performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is currently overweight the property and casualty insurance, finance companies and pharmaceuticals industries. The property and casualty insurance overweight is related to favorable consolidation trends in the industry. The finance companies overweight is a result of active allocations in both aircraft leasing and

student lending. Our largest underweights are in the technology, food and beverage and chemicals industries. The technology sector is underweight because we found better relative values in other areas.

From a credit-quality perspective, the Fund is positioned with a relative underweight in the BB category, while currently overweight toward both B-rated and CCC-rated issuers. The Fund is positioned short (3.4 years) in comparison to the option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (3.8 years).

Over the annual period, the team has added to positions in the independent energy, airlines and technology industries. Also, we reduced the portfolio exposure to the pharmaceuticals, media/entertainment, and cable/satellite industries. We view the increases in independent energy and airlines as strong relative value positions following the stabilization of the high yield market. The reduction in pharmaceuticals was primarily due to closing a profitable trade that had reached our target valuation.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

At the time of publication, it appears that we are heading for a divided government. A resolution to the election should bring some additional calm to the market despite the fact that we continue to deal with large uncertainties concerning the third surge of COVID-19 cases and the potential for restrictions.

What factors influenced performance?

The last year has been a maelstrom. After seeing risk assets take the lead through the tail of 2019 and into 2020, domestic equity markets traded to all-time highs in mid-February and corporate bond spreads in both the high yield and investment-grade markets traded near cyclical tights during the same time frame.

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread worldwide, it forced global supply-chain shutdowns. With a broad swath of service industries shuttered, liquidity in credit markets dried up quickly, spiraling into the most drastic correction in market history. Fortunately, fiscal and monetary responses were rapid and strong, both domestically and globally. Initially, the Fed slashed its overnight rate from 1.50% to 0.00% in a pair of inter-meeting cuts while introducing hundreds of billions of dollars in repo lines intended to keep the financial system functioning normally with good liquidity. It reintroduced quantitative easing on a previously before unseen scale, taking over $650 billion of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities out of the market per week. This weekly operation size is equivalent to the size of the entire QE2 program enacted in 2010. Those efforts were combined with several new programs aimed at stabilizing markets ranging from corporate bonds to asset-backed securities to municipal bonds.

In addition to the strong fiscal measures taken, Congress and the administration worked together to pass the $2 trillion CARES Act, which provided additional unemployment benefits and stimulus checks to individuals, while also funding support for small and large businesses, state and local governments, and public schools. Two further rounds of fiscal stimulus followed. The lead up to the 2020 election resulted in gridlock on an additional stimulus package, but it seemed that, regardless of the election results, more stimulus would be forthcoming once the events of early November passed. And more fiscal support is something Chair Powell has long been recommending in Congressional testimony.

The annual reporting period was certainly one of the more extreme examples in recent memory of a risk-on environment, with the exception of the one-month period between February and March. After trading sub-50 basis points for the first four months of the annual period, the option-adjusted spread on the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate 1-3 Year Index traded as wide as 390 basis points on March 24 before ending the period at 50 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries. This means that short-term, investment-grade credit markets have almost fully retraced the risk-off trade that occurred immediately following the global outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

n  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.

n  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.

n  Utilizes robust, independent credit research. Our fixed income investment process unites quantitative and qualitative analyses into historical and forward-looking models. The result is a credit rating reflective of where a company is heading.

n  Applies a macro overlay to capitalize on misunderstood industries and sectors. The overlay acts as a risk control that also considers the business cycle, geopolitics, inflation and real rate expectations.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund may be suitable for investors seeking current income accompanied by lower volatility over a one-year to two-year time horizon.

Fund asset allocations are calculated as a percentage of net assets and may vary over time. The table excludes cash or cash equivalents.

Short duration Treasury yields moved substantially lower with one-, two- and three-year maturities falling by 138, 137, and 132 basis points, respectively. Nearly all of that move occurred during the first half of the annual reporting period. This was driven by the unprecedented monetary policy and continued messaging from the Fed that short rates will be kept at zero until the U.S. again reaches full employment. The Fed also changed their methodology on inflation targeting, and will allow inflation to run above its historic 2% target with the intention of averaging 2% over time. This could take years, given the October unemployment rate was 7.9% and a fall-winter wave of COVID-19 threatens more layoffs. The corporate component of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Government/Credit Index led with a +3.7% return, while the government-related and Treasury sectors trailed at 3.2%. The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the 12-month period. As a result, the overweight allocation to corporate bonds across financial, industrial and utility sectors contributed to performance. The out-of-benchmark allocation to below-investment-grade credit also boosted performance as the short duration, high yield market recovered quickly from the spike in spreads during the first calendar quarter of 2020. Over the long-term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and taxable municipal bonds in the Fund, as the additional yield in short duration securities has shown historically generated superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 1.8 years equivalent to the 1.8 years duration of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment-grade and out-of-benchmark high yield ratings categories. These overweights led to a lower overall credit quality of A- when compared to the AA quality of the benchmark. The strong rally in Treasury rates coupled with the recovery of credit spreads in risk assets since March led to positive returns during the reporting period. The Fund remains overweight corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, through the weighting of corporate bonds decreased during the most recent six-month period, as the team chose to diversify into higher yielding opportunities in asset-backed securities and taxable municipal bonds. The Fund continues to hold underweight positions in both Treasuries and Agencies following the changes. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations reside in the consumer non-cyclical and finance companies sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

At the time of publication, it appears that we are heading for a divided government. A resolution to the election should bring some additional calm to the market despite the fact that we continue to deal with large uncertainties concerning the third surge of COVID-19 cases and the potential for restrictions. The market generally appreciates some form of checks and balances among the executive and legislative branches. In the event of a divided government, we do not expect a large reaction in either direction. However, should a single party come to control both legislative branches and the presidency, we would anticipate further volatility on fears of larger policy shifts that upend taxes and regulations.

From both a monetary and fiscal perspective, we believe additional stimulus is coming, either in the lame duck session before January, or when those newly elected assume power. We do not believe that the Fed is out of options to provide additional monetary stimulus, but they are close to being out of good options. We expect to see various winners and losers among industries and companies, which underscores the importance of active management. We continue to adhere to our disciplined approach of building portfolios bond-by-bond with a focus on being well compensated for the risks taken.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

As of the prospectus dated 2/28/20, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 0.74% and Class I shares is 0.47%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through 3/1/22 to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A and Class I are limited to 0.65% and 0.40% of average net assets, respectively. Calamos Advisors may recapture previously waived expense amounts within the same fiscal year for any day where the respective Fund'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. The expense ratios shown above may differ from the more recent expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

†  Average annual total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments as an annualized average assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Performance shown reflects the effects of an expense reimbursement that improved results. Load-adjusted returns are adjusted for the maximum frontend sales load of 2.25% for Class A shares.

NOTES:

The Bloomberg Barclays Government/Credit 1-3 Year Index includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities of between 1 and 3 years and are publicly issued.

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Index measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable corporate and government-related bond markets. It is composed of the U.S. Corporate Index and a non-corporate component that includes foreign agencies, sovereigns, supranationals and local authorities that have maturities of between 1 and 3 years.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect deduction of fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Expense Overview

EXPENSE OVERVIEW

As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs. You incur:

1) Transaction costs, including sales charges, or loads, on purchase payment and redemption fees.

2) Ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses.

The examples in this report are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. It is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs associated with investing in each mutual fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

There are two parts of each Fund's chart:

Actual

In this part of the chart, you'll see the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period in each fund from May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020, the period covered by this report. This chart also shows the actual returns, after expenses, you would have earned during that time. This chart can help you estimate your own expenses. For example, if you invested $8,600 in Class A shares of the fund, simply divide $8,600 by $1,000, then multiply that result by the figure in the Actual Expenses per $1,000 row. In this example, you would multiply 8.6 times the figure.

Hypothetical

In this part of the chart, you'll see the hypothetical expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment from May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020, and the hypothetical returns, after expenses, you would have earned during that time. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established the guidelines for this chart, including the assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which is what you'll see in the chart. Note that this chart will not help you determine your own expenses, but will help you compare expenses of the fund you own to the expenses of another fund since the information for that fund should be calculated using the same assumptions.

Please note that the expenses shown in the chart are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the chart is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization. CALAMOS INVESTMENT TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust organized December 21, 1987 (the "Trust"), consists of eighteen series, Market Neutral Income Fund, Hedged Equity Fund, Phineus Long/Short Fund, Convertible Fund, Global Convertible Fund, Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund, Timpani SMID Growth Fund (commenced operations on July 31, 2019), Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Dividend Growth Fund, Select Fund, International Growth Fund , Evolving World Growth Fund, Global Equity Fund, Global Growth and Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, High Income Opportunities Fund, and Short-Term Bond Fund, (commenced operations on September 19, 2018), (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently offers Class A, Class C (except Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund and Timpani SMID Growth Fund), and Class I shares of each of the Funds (except Short-Term Bond Fund). Class R6 shares are offered in Market Neutral Income Fund, Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund, Timpani SMID Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, International Growth Fund and Global Equity Fund only.

Significant Accounting Policies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and the Funds are each considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The Funds adhere to the accounting and reporting requirements set forth in ASU 2013-08 and ASC 946. Under U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements and actual results may differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The Funds adopted ASU2017-08 as of November 1, 2019, with no material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

In October 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs ("ASU 2020-08"). ASU 2020-08 was issued to clarify how to amortize premiums for debt securities where there are bonds with multiple call dates. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Management has evaluated the impact of this guidance within the Funds' financial statements and has determined the adoption of ASU 2020-08 will have no impact on the Fund's financial statements.

Fund Valuation. The valuation of the Funds' investments is in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees.

Fund securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the official closing price, which is the last current reported sales price on its principal exchange at the time each Fund determines its net asset value ("NAV"). Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, as determined by NASDAQ, or lacking a NASDAQ Official Closing Price, the last current reported sale price on NASDAQ at the time a Fund determines its NAV. When a last sale or closing price is not available, equity securities, other than option securities, that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange and other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on its principal exchange in accordance with guidelines adopted by the board of trustees. Each option security traded on a U.S. securities exchange is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security, also in accordance with guidelines adopted by the board of trustees. Each over-the-counter option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued either by an independent pricing agent approved by the board of trustees or based on a quotation provided by the counterparty to such option under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees.

Fixed income securities, bank loans, certain convertible preferred securities, and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued by independent pricing services or by dealers or brokers who make markets in such securities. Valuations of such fixed income securities, bank loans, certain convertible preferred securities, and non-exchange traded derivatives consider yield or price of equivalent securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data and do not rely exclusively upon exchange or over-the-counter prices.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to Financial Statements

Trading on European and Far Eastern exchanges and over-the-counter markets is typically completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. Each security trading on these exchanges or in over-the-counter markets may be valued utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service approved by the board of trustees. The valuation of each security that meets certain criteria in relation to the valuation model is systematically adjusted to reflect the impact of movement in the U.S. market after the foreign markets close. Securities that do not meet the criteria, or that are principally traded in other foreign markets, are valued as of the last reported sale price at the time the respective Fund determines its NAV, or when reliable market prices or quotations are not readily available, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Trading of foreign securities may not take place on every NYSE business day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the respective Fund's NAV is not calculated.

If the pricing committee determines that the valuation of a security in accordance with the methods described above is not reflective of a fair value for such security, the security is valued at a fair value by the pricing committee, under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees, following the guidelines and/or procedures adopted by the board of trustees.

Each Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the board of trustees and under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees, if trading in the security is halted or if the value of a security it holds is materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's pricing time but after the close of the primary market or exchange on which the security is listed. Those procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by the board of trustees, which may be based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities that are generally recognized by institutional traders, a computerized matrix system, or appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those securities.

When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund's net asset value ("NAV").

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of October 31, 2020. Net realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized using the accrual method and includes accretion of original issue and market discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using a rate quoted by a major bank or dealer in the particular currency market, as reported by a recognized quotation dissemination service.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from disposition of foreign currency, the difference in the foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the ex-date or accrual date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at period end.

Allocation of Expenses Among Funds and Classes. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; certain other common expenses of the Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund, Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund, and Calamos Long/Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust are allocated proportionately among each Fund to which the expenses relate in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses directly attributable to a particular class of a fund in the Trust are charged directly to such class. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses

www.calamos.com
187



Notes to Financial Statements

other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day plus current day fund share activity.

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Trust's policy is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distribute to shareholders substantially all of the Funds' taxable income and net realized gains.

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting for fixed income securities. The financial statements are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The Fund recognized no liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation is not provided as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized benefits are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax years 2016 — 2019 remain subject to examination by the U.S. and the State of Illinois tax jurisdictions for those Funds that have been in existence during that time, and for all years since inception for those Funds created subsequent to October 31, 2013.

Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents, the Trust is obligated to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities incurred by them by reason of having been an officer or trustee of the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Funds' management expects the risk of material loss in connection to a potential claim to be remote.

Each of the International Growth and Global Equity Funds pays a fee based on average daily net assets of the Fund that is accrued daily and paid on a monthly basis, subject to possible adjustment based on the Fund's investment performance (since March 2006 for International Growth Fund and since February 2008 for Global Equity Fund). The performance adjustment increases or decreases the management fee, on a monthly basis, by 1/12 of 0.03% of a Fund's average daily net assets over the performance period for each full 1% increment amount by which a Fund outperforms or underperforms the benchmark index ("Index"), on an annualized basis, over the performance measurement period. The benchmark indexes are the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and the MSCI World Index for the International Growth Fund and Global Equity Fund, respectively.

The base fee is shown in the table above. The performance adjustment rate is calculated by comparing over the performance measurement period the Fund's Class A share performance to that of the respective Index. The performance measurement period commenced at the beginning of each Fund's first full month of operation (April 2005 and March 2007 for the International Growth Fund and Global Equity Fund, respectively). The first performance adjustment was applied to the advisory fee at the end of the twelfth month. Each month subsequent to the twelfth month, a new month is added to the performance measurement period until the performance measurement period includes 36 months. Thereafter, the performance measurement period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

The performance comparison is made at the end of each month. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is +/- 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets over the performance measurement period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average daily net assets over the performance measurement period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the base fee. Calamos Advisors may receive a positive performance adjustment even if the Fund has a negative return over a performance measurement period if it otherwise outperforms the Index during that period.

Each Fund may invest in shares of the Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund ("SCG"), Timpani SMID Growth Fund ("SMID") or Short Term Bond Fund ("STBF"). Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee charged to the Fund equal to the advisory fee paid by SCG, SMID or STBF, respectively, attributable to the Fund's investment in SCG, SMID or STBF, respectively, based on daily net assets. For the period ended October 31, 2020, the total advisory fees waived pursuant to such agreement were $9,348, $454,831, and $44,052 for the Growth Fund, Market Neutral Income Fund, Phineus Long/Short Fund, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Expense reductions".

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, a trustee who is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) and has elected to participate in the Plan (a "participating trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation from the Trust. The deferred compensation payable to the participating trustee is credited to the trustee's deferral account as of the business day such compensation would have been paid to the participating trustee. The value of amounts deferred for a participating trustee is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more funds of the Trust designated by the participant. The value of the account increases with contributions to the account or with increases in the value of the measuring shares, and the value of the account decreases with withdrawals from the account or with declines in the value of the measuring shares.

Interfund Lending Program

The Funds have adopted, effective April 23, 2020, an Interim InterFund Lending Program (the "InterFund Program") in reliance upon the exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2020 (the "March 23, 2020 Order"). The InterFund Program allows the Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to satisfy redemption requests or to cover unanticipated cash shortfalls, subject to the requirements of the March 23, 2020 Order. The Funds' InterFund Program is limited in terms of duration and will only remain in place for the period from the adoption date up to the termination of the March 23, 2020 Order (unless extended by the board of trustees). The March 23, 2020 Order remained in effect as of October 31, 2020. As of the end of the reporting period, no Fund has participated in the InterFund Program or has had to rely on the March 23, 2020 Order. Please see the supplement to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated April 30, 2020 for more information about the Interfund Program.

Note 5 – Short Sales

Securities sold short represent obligations to deliver the securities at a future date. A Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security before the delivery date. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. Dividends paid on securities sold short are disclosed as an expense on the Statements of Operations. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be realized upon the termination of a short sale.

To secure its obligation to deliver to the broker-dealer the securities sold short, the Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities with its custodian equal to any excess of the current market value of the securities sold short over any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (not including the proceeds of the short sale). As a result of that requirement, the Fund will not gain any leverage merely by selling short, except to the extent that it earns interest or other income or gains on the segregated cash or liquid securities while also being subject to the possibility of gain or loss from the securities sold short.

Note 6 — Derivative Investments

Foreign Currency Risk. Each Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates by entering into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include, among other things, movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.

To mitigate the counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Generally, collateral is exchanged between the Fund and the counterparty and the amount of collateral due from the Fund or to a counterparty has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. When a Fund is required to post collateral under the terms of a derivatives transaction and master netting agreement, the Fund's custodian holds the collateral in a segregated account, subject to the terms of a tri-party agreement among the Fund, the custodian and the counterparty. The master netting agreement and tri-party agreement provide, in relevant part, that the counterparty may have rights to the amounts in the segregated account in the event that the Fund defaults in its obligation with respect to the derivative instrument that is subject to the collateral requirement. When a counterparty is required to post collateral under the terms of a derivatives transaction and master netting agreement, the counterparty delivers such amount to the Fund's custodian. The master netting agreement provides,

Notes to Financial Statements

in relevant part, that the Fund may have rights to such collateral in the event that the counterparty defaults in its obligation with respect to the derivative instrument that is subject to the collateral requirement. Generally before a default, neither a Fund nor the counterparty may resell, rehypothecate, or repledge any collateral that it receives.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund's net counterparty exposure is reflected in the counterparty table below. The net unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the respective Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. The contracts are valued daily at forward foreign exchange rates. The Funds realize a gain or loss when a position is closed or upon settlement of the contracts. Please see the disclosure regarding ISDA Master Agreements under Foreign Currency Risk within this note.

As of October 31, 2020, the Funds had outstanding forward foreign currency contracts listed on the Schedules of Investments.

Equity Risk. Each Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieves similar objectives to what it would achieve through the sale or purchase of individual securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security, index or other instrument at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the seller the obligation to buy, the underlying security, index, or other instrument at the exercise price.

To seek to offset some of the risk of a potential decline in value of certain long positions, each Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). Each Fund may also seek to generate income from option premiums by writing (selling) options on a portion of the equity securities (including securities that are convertible into equity securities) in the Fund's portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.

When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Gain or loss on written options and purchased options is presented separately on the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.

Options written by each Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk since options written obligate each Fund and not the counterparty to perform. Exchange traded purchased options have minimal counterparty credit risk to each Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default.

As of October 31, 2020, the Fund had outstanding purchased options and/or written options as listed on the Schedules of Investments.

As of October 31, 2020, the Funds had outstanding derivative contracts which are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 7 – Securities Lending

The Funds may loan one or more of their securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned by the Funds. The Funds continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the collateral. The additional return, if any, is disclosed on a net basis as Securities lending income in the Statement of Operations. Upon receipt of cash or cash equivalent collateral, the Funds' securities lending agent invests the collateral into short term investments following investment guidelines approved by Calamos Advisors. The Funds record the investment of collateral as an asset and the value of the collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. If the value of the invested collateral declines below the value of the collateral deposited by the borrower, the Funds will record unrealized depreciation equal to the decline in value of the invested collateral. The Funds will pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Funds for services in arranging these loans. The Funds have the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time. The Funds do not have the right to vote the securities during the existence of the loan but could call the loan in an attempt to permit voting of the securities in certain circumstances. Upon return of the securities loaned, the cash or cash equivalent collateral will be returned to the borrower. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Funds could experience both delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses, including (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned during the period while the Funds seek to enforce its rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period, and (c) the expenses of enforcing their rights. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Funds' security lending agent monitors and reports to Calamos Advisors on the creditworthiness of the firms to which a Fund lends securities.

The following table indicates the total amount of securities loaned by asset class, reconciled to the gross liability payable upon return of the securities loaned by the Funds as of October 31, 2020.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels as follows:

•  Level 1 – Prices are determined using inputs from unadjusted quoted prices from active markets (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) for identical assets.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
202



Notes to Financial Statements

•  Level 2 – Prices are determined using significant observable market inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices, including quoted prices of similar securities, fair value adjustments to quoted foreign securities, interest rates, credit risk, prepayment speeds, and other relevant data.

•  Level 3 – Prices reflect unobservable market inputs (including the Funds' own judgments about assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value) when observable inputs are unavailable.

Debt securities are valued based upon evaluated prices received from an independent pricing service or from a dealer or broker who makes markets in such securities. Pricing services utilize various observable market data and as such, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. The levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity of the Fund's investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 of Frontier Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 27, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees ("Board" or the "Trustees") of the Trust oversees the management of each of the Funds, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to continue the Trust's management agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC ("Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment manager and administrator for each of the Funds. The "Independent Trustees," who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with the Adviser.

In connection with their most recent consideration regarding the continuation of the management agreement, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser in response to detailed requests of the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel. In the course of their consideration of the agreement, the Independent Trustees were advised by their counsel, and in addition to meeting with management of the Adviser, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting held on June 30, 20201, based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser on behalf of the Funds were fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, the fees charged for those services and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the management agreement with respect to all of the Funds through July 31, 2021, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in the agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund as well as performance information for comparable funds and other, comparable clients of the Adviser, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund as well as expense information for comparable funds and for other, comparable clients of the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether potential economies may be shared, in some measure, with Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. In the Board's deliberations, no single factor was responsible for the Board's decision to approve continuation of the management agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board's consideration of the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge gained from the Board's meetings with the Adviser throughout the years. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of managing the Funds; the consistency of investment approach; the background and experience of the Adviser's investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds; and the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds, including, among other things, in the areas of brokerage selection, trade execution, compliance and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds. The Board noted the personal investments that the Adviser's key investment personnel have made in the Funds, which further aligns the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders. In addition, the Board considered compliance reports about the Adviser from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer.

The Board also considered the information provided by the Adviser regarding the Funds' performance and the steps the Adviser is taking to improve performance. In particular, the Board noted the additional personnel added to the investment teams, which includes portfolio managers, research analysts, research associates and risk management personnel. The Board also noted the Adviser's significant investment into its infrastructure and investment processes.

Investment Performance of the Funds. The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, including how the Fund performed compared to the median performance of a group of comparable funds (the Fund's "Category") selected by an independent third-party service provider. In certain instances noted below, the Category represents a custom group of comparable funds, also selected by an independent third-party service provider. The performance periods considered by the Board ended on March 31, 2020, except where otherwise noted. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance. To the extent the Board considered data for periods other than those ending on March 31, 2020 or considered

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

comparative data in addition to that of the Category, such as comparative data for an alternate group of comparable funds (a "category"), the data was still produced by the independent third-party service provider.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for all periods.

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for all periods.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for the five- and ten-year periods, though it underperformed for the more recent periods. The Board noted, however, that for the first quarter of 2020, the Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of its Category, and that according to the Adviser, the Fund's hedged positioning and "risk on" strategy contributed to the Fund's outperformance during the market's "risk-off," volatile reaction to COVID-19 in the first part of the year.

Calamos Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its Category median for all periods. It noted, however, the Adviser's assertion that the small sample size in the Category and the independent consultant's method of calculating performance rankings skews the Fund's performance rankings. The Board therefore considered the Fund's performance rankings as calculated by an alternate independent third-party service provider, which the Adviser explained reflect the Fund's performance style more precisely. In reviewing the information provided by the alternate third-party service provider, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its category median for the one- and three-year periods and that the Fund's performance was equal to the category median for the five-year period, though the Fund underperformed for the ten-year period. The Board also considered the Fund's performance as of June 26, 2020 as calculated by the alternate third-party service provider, noting that the Fund outperformed its category median for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, though it underperformed for the ten-year period.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for the one-year period, though it underperformed for the remaining periods. It also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for all periods. The Board further noted the Adviser's representation that the Fund is the only U.S.-based convertible fund with a global mandate in its Category, and therefore considered the Adviser's assertion that the Global Convertible UCITS fund managed by the Adviser and its performance universe are a better comparative source than the Category. As a result, the Board considered the Fund's similarity to the UCITS fund managed by the Adviser, noting that the UCITS fund, when compared to its peers, ranked in the 1st, 6th and 6th percentiles for the one-, three- and five-year periods, respectively.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. It also noted that the Adviser has been managing the Fund only since May 31, 2019 and that it would be prudent to allow the Fund's portfolio management team time to develop its performance record with the Fund.

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund. The Board noted that the Fund commenced operations in July 2019 and had less than one year of performance data. The Board noted, therefore, that it would be prudent to allow the Fund's portfolio management team time to develop its performance record with the Fund.

Calamos Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its custom Category median for all periods. The Board noted, however, the recent changes to the Fund's management team and portfolio positioning, including its appointment of a new lead portfolio manager in February 2017, the adoption of a new primary benchmark index in October 2018, and the appointment of a new portfolio management team and the corresponding implementation of a new investment sleeve approach effective April 1, 2020. The Board considered the Adviser's updates provided at the June 30, 2020 meeting regarding the implementation of the recent changes and their impact on the Fund's recent performance, as well as the Adviser's conviction in the new management team and investment approach. To this end, the Board noted that the recent changes have yielded improving performance, with the Fund ranked in the 43rd and 28th percentiles of its category for the month and quarter-to-date period ended June 26, 2020. The Board further noted that the Fund also has outperformed its benchmark by 72 and 321 basis points in each of these periods ended June 26, 2020. In light of the foregoing, the Board concluded that it would be prudent to allow the revised portfolio management team and approach time to further develop its performance record and noted that it would continue to closely monitor performance.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Calamos Growth and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category median for all periods.

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category median for all periods.

Calamos Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its custom Category median for all periods. The Board noted, however, the recent changes to the Fund's management team and the adoption of a new primary benchmark index, which took effect February 28, 2020. To this end, the Board further noted that the recent changes have yielded improving performance, with the Fund ranked in the 15th percentile of its category for the three-month period ended June 26, 2020. In light of the foregoing, the Board concluded that it would be prudent to allow the revised portfolio management team time to further develop its performance record and noted that it would continue to closely monitor performance.

Calamos International Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for all periods.

Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for all periods.

Calamos Global Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for all periods.

Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category median for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and that its performance was equal to the custom Category median for the one-year period.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for the one-, three- and five-year periods, though it underperformed for the ten-year period.

Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its Category median for all periods. The Board also considered that the Adviser had recently made significant changes to the Fund's portfolio management team, including the hiring of a lead portfolio manager in November 2016 and four additional investment professionals in 2017. To this end, the Board noted that the changes to the investment team had yielded favorable performance, evidenced by the Fund's performance in the one- and three-year periods ended February 29, 2020 (prior to the market's volatile reaction to COVID-19). The Board further noted that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of its category (as identified by an alternate third-party service provider) in the one-month and three-month periods ended June 26, 2020. In light of the foregoing, the Board considered that it would be prudent to allow the Fund's investment team time to further develop its long-term performance record.

Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category median for the one-year period. It also noted that the Fund commenced operations in September 2018 and that it would be prudent to allow the portfolio management team time to further develop its performance record with the Fund.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. Using information provided by an independent third-party service provider, the Board evaluated each Fund's actual management fee rate compared to the median management fee rate for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy (the Fund's "Expense Group"), and the Fund's total expense ratio compared to the median total expense ratio of the Fund's Expense Group.

The Board also reviewed the Adviser's management fee rates for its institutional separate accounts and noted the Adviser's assertion that the Adviser does not manage sub-advisory accounts. The Board took into account that although, generally, the rates of fees paid by institutional clients were lower than the rates of fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's greater level of responsibilities and significantly broader scope of services regarding the Funds, the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds, and other financial considerations with respect to creation and sponsorship of the Funds. The Board considered factors that lead to more expenses for registered funds including but not limited to: (i) capital expenditures to establish a fund, (ii) length of time to reach critical mass, and the related expenses, (iii) higher servicing costs of intermediaries and shareholders, (iv) higher redemption rates of assets under management, (v) entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser and (vi) greater exposure to "make whole" errors.

The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Funds' investment adviser and manager, including but not limited to costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees, and the relationship

279



Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

of such compensation to the attraction and retention of quality personnel. Finally, the Board reviewed information on the profitability of the Adviser in serving as each Fund's investment manager and of the Adviser and its affiliates in all of their relationships with each Fund, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the Funds and the Adviser's other business units. Data was provided to the Board with respect to profitability, both on a pre- and post-marketing cost basis. The Board reviewed the financial statements of the Adviser's parent company and discussed its corporate structure.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and total expense ratio of each Fund is set forth below:

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's total expense ratio is lower than its Expense Group median and the Fund's management fee rate is higher than its Expense Group median. The Board considered the Fund's management fee rate in light of its performance record.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

Calamos Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record against the category identified by the alternate third-party service provider.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also considered, however, that the Fund offers a unique mandate and the Adviser's assertion that, as a result, there are no appropriate peer funds against which to meaningfully compare the Fund's fees. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record against its benchmark.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate is higher than its Expense Group median and that the Fund's total expense ratio is equal to the Expense Group median. The Board considered Fund's expenses in light of its short performance record with the Adviser.

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate is lower than the Expense Group median and that the Fund's total expense ratio is higher than the Expense Group median. The Board considered Fund's expenses in light of its short performance record.

Calamos Growth Fund. The Board considered that, while the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group, the Adviser continues to invest resources in the Fund to address performance and that the Board will continue to closely monitor the results of the Adviser's initiatives. The Board also reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its recent performance record and the Adviser's conviction in the Fund's recent changes.

Calamos Growth and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate is lower than its Expense Group median, though the Fund's total expense ratio is higher than its Expense Group median.

Calamos Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate is lower than its Expense Group median, though the Fund's total expense ratio is higher than its Expense Group median. The Board noted, however, that the Fund's total expense ratio is within one basis point of the Expense Group median.

Calamos International Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also noted that the Fund's management fee is subject to a performance adjustment, which serves to lower the management fee during periods of underperformance.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos Global Equity Fund. The Board considered that, while the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group, the Fund's management fee is subject to a performance adjustment, which serves to lower the management fee during periods of underperformance. The Board also reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate is lower than the Fund's Expense Group median and that the Fund's total expense ratio is higher than the Expense Group median, though it is within one basis point of the Expense Group median.

Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee shares with shareholders potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser. The Board recognized that breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund could result in the sharing of economies of scale as Fund assets increase. The Board also considered the Adviser's agreement to reimburse each Fund for a portion of its expenses if the Fund's expense ratio otherwise would exceed a certain level. The Board also considered the benefits accruing to shareholders from the Adviser's investments into its infrastructure and investment processes. The Board concluded that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board also considered other benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that while the Adviser may potentially benefit from its relationship with the Funds in ways other than the fees payable by the Funds, the Funds also may benefit from their relationship with the Adviser in ways other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to their agreement with the Funds and the fees payable by the Funds.

The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage trans- actions to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser and concluded, based on reports from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, that the Adviser's use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the management agreement for each Fund with the Adviser was in the best interest of each respective Fund and its shareholders.
