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 semiannual report for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021. 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.

Throughout history, the global economy and financial markets have navigated unprecedented challenges and uncertainty, guided by human ingenuity, innovation and forward-looking perspective. We saw this continue during the semiannual period, with many asset classes posting strong gains. Volatility has ramped up, but we believe there is additional upside for experienced, risk-conscious investors. As the global economy continues to make its way through an extraordinary period, individual security selection and active management will be extremely important, both for identifying opportunities and understanding potential risks. Our teams are confident that the Calamos Funds are well positioned to capitalize on the potential we see across the markets.

Market Review

The semiannual period spanned a period of significant change—including a new U.S. presidential administration and shifts in Congress, eagerly anticipated COVID-19 vaccine rollouts, and varying levels of economic re-opening around the world. The period also saw the emergence of long-dormant inflation pressures and rising interest rates, including a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve and other central banks affirmed their commitments to supportive policy and fiscal stimulus continued at record levels.

Stock and convertible markets advanced at a brisk clip during the reporting period, with vaccination progress, job gains and other positive economic data, corporate earnings, fiscal stimulus and accommodative monetary policy giving market participants reasons for optimism. However, as we noted, volatility was also formidable. While many growth-oriented securities continued to post very healthy returns in absolute terms, value-oriented and cyclical sectors came back into favor as investors contemplated the strength of the economy, rising interest rates and inflation pressures. Within the fixed-income markets, high-yield securities outpaced investment-grade issues.

Letter to Shareholders

Outlook

We believe the global economic recovery will continue at a strong pace over the near term. Of course, the rate of growth will vary among regions, with the U.S. among the economies that are particularly well positioned, due to accommodative fiscal conditions and extraordinary levels of stimulus. We also see improving fundamentals in a number of other countries. There will be many investment opportunities through this phase of the cycle, including in the securities of companies positioned to benefit from reopening and recovery as well as innovative businesses at the forefront of established and emerging growth trends.

Capitalizing on this diverse opportunity set requires long-term perspective because short-term volatility is likely to remain elevated. We are prepared for continued market rotation as the economy accelerates before ultimately settling into a new post-pandemic "normal." We also expect fiscal policy uncertainty about the U.S. tax and regulatory environment will fuel market turbulence with the potential to also influence the longer-term course of the U.S. economic recovery.

Over recent years, investors have grown accustomed to historically low levels of inflation, and it is understandable that many are concerned about the emergence of inflationary pressures and recent spikes. All of our teams are closely monitoring inflation data and its drivers. Overall, what we have seen thus far is not surprising, given the combination of healthy consumer balance sheets, fiscal stimulus, pent-up demand and economic reopening. Also, while inflation has risen, it is still relatively low, with year-over-year changes coming off very low base effects. Indeed, today we are not witnessing the double-digit inflation increases that I remember from past decades.

Similarly, the increase in the yield of the 10-year Treasury has so far reflected a return to growth and more normal conditions. Although the yield of the 10-year Treasury has risen quickly, it is still low if we look back over decades.

Asset allocation in a changing world

From an asset allocation standpoint, we encourage investors to maintain broad diversification—by asset class, investment style, market capitalization, and geography. However, asset allocation is not static, and we encourage investors to consult with their investment professionals on an ongoing basis and especially during periods of rapid economic change. Your investment professional can help you determine if you should rebalance your asset allocation in response to market conditions or your unique personal circumstances.

In the current environment, many investors may be under-allocated to small-cap companies and emerging markets, areas that have tended to perform well during recovery periods. (For more on the opportunities we see in small and mid-sized companies, please see the investment team commentaries for Calamos Timpani

Letter to Shareholders

Small Cap Growth Fund and Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund; for more on emerging markets, see the commentaries for our global and international strategies, including Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund.)

In this period of heightened disruption and rapid innovation, our teams are excited about the potential they see in many growth companies. Value stocks have enjoyed greater market favor in recent months, but we would caution investors from thinking of growth stocks and value stocks as an "either/or" proposition. Shifts between growth and value can happen quickly, and since it is impossible to predict the twists and turns, we believe actively managed growth equities are best thought of as a strategic portfolio cornerstone, providing the opportunity to share in the potential of innovative companies. Calamos Growth Fund, for example, is invested in a breadth of companies with sustainable and highly profitable business models, including those positioned to benefit from economic reopening as well as traditional secular growth opportunities.

As investors confront the prospect of rising interest rates and market volatility, Calamos funds that invest in convertible securities may be a compelling choice. Convertibles blend attributes of stocks and fixed-income securities. As a result, they may be less vulnerable to rising interest rates compared with traditional bonds. Convertibles have also offered the opportunity for upside stock market participation with potentially less exposure to stock market downside. Our actively managed convertible strategies include dedicated convertible offerings, such as Calamos Convertible Fund and Calamos Global Convertible Fund, as well as multi-asset class choices such as Calamos Global Opportunities Fund and Calamos Growth and Income Fund.

Well-diversified portfolios also include allocations to fixed-income funds. While traditional fixed-income investments—like long-dated Treasury bonds—typically face pressures in rising interest rate environments, it's important to remember it's a market of bonds, not a bond market. There's considerable variation and a breadth of opportunity in the fixed-income markets. For example, Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund invests in high-yield bonds, an area of the market that may provide compelling opportunities at this point of the cycle, as default rates decline from 2020 levels and economic recovery provides a wind in the sails for select issuers. Additionally, short-term bond funds such as Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund may provide a haven from short-term volatility in the equity markets, with relatively less duration risk versus longer-term bonds and more potential upside than cash.

Finally, investors may wish to consult with their investment professional about the potential benefits of including liquid alternative strategies in their asset allocations. Because they can utilize different strategies than traditional mutual funds, liquid alternatives have more tools for navigating market volatility and reducing exposure to certain risks. For example, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund, a fixed-income alternative,

seeks to provide consistent performance by employing strategies that are not dependent on interest rates to source income. For the equity side of an asset allocation, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund and Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund employ time-tested strategies that can capitalize on equity market volatility, whether markets are moving up or down.

In closing

I encourage you to visit our website, www.calamos.com, for ongoing updates about the markets and asset allocation strategies for investors seeking income, capital appreciation or both. On behalf of all of us at Calamos Investments, I thank you for your trust. We are honored to serve you and help you achieve your asset allocation goals.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund

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:

  Potentially enhance an investor's fixed-income allocation.

  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 semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund returned 4.55% (Class I Shares at net asset value) strongly outperforming a -2.06% loss for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index and 0.03% increase for the FTSE 30-Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The equity market posted strong results in response to the COVID-19 vaccination rollouts, positive economic data, fiscal stimulus and accommodative monetary policies. The reporting period also saw periods of elevated volatility during the presidential election, the Georgia U.S. Senate run-off elections, the storming of the U.S. Capitol, stumbles during the early vaccine rollout, and commodity shortages. While realized volatility as measured by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) declined from 38.02 at the beginning of the period to 18.61 at the end; implied volatility levels were generally higher.

The hedged equity strategy within the Fund benefited from the strong S&P 500 Index performance, given that the strategy's equity basket was able to participate in some of the market's upside constrained by the strike price of the portfolio's use of written calls. The periods of volatility also provided attractive option rebalancing opportunities that benefited from the higher level of implied volatility seen in the options market. Additionally, the use of S&P 500 index options in the strategy provided premium capture in addition to the dividends received from the equity basket.

The convertible arbitrage portion benefited from the periods of volatility that occurred over the past six months and provided opportunities to profit from convertible hedge

OVERVIEW

The Fund combines two complementary strategies with different responses to volatility: convertible arbitrage seeks alpha and uncorrelated returns, while hedged equity provides income from options writing and upside participation.

KEY FEATURES

◼  Generates returns not dependent on interest rates, a key differentiator from traditional bond strategies.

◼  Employs an absolute-return strategy with historically lower beta to fixed-income and equity markets as well as lower volatility and limited drawdowns.

◼  As one of the first alternative mutual funds, capitalizes on more than four decades of experience in the convertible space.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund may provide potential diversification, particularly in a low interest-rate environment.

A note concerning Morningstar Ratings for Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund Morningstar recently sought to refine its categorization of alternative funds, splitting large heterogeneous categories into smaller, more-focused peer sets. Calamos applauds Morningstar's continuous commitment to improving investor understanding of mutual fund offerings. As of April 30, 2021, Morningstar assigned the Fund to a new category, Relative Value Arbitrage, a group of only eight funds. With such a small set of data points, Morningstar has determined that funds in this category will not be assigned a star rating. The Fund's move to the Relative Value Arbitrage category has no bearing on the management of the fund itself, nor was it made in response to a change in the management of the Fund.

rebalancing. Additionally, the reporting period saw robust new U.S. convertible issuance of $62.1 billion according to ICE BofA. For perspective, the recent semiannual total was more than the full calendar year totals from 2007 through 2019. These new convertibles were attractive for convertible arbitrage as they fell within the balanced portion of the market and, when combined with elevated volatility, provided increased opportunities for trade rebalancing (gamma capture). Additionally, much of the new issuance was brought at a discount to the convertible's theoretical valuation, which provided an opportunity for pricing arbitrage.

A convertible bond may be thought of as the combination of a bond plus a call option. While the rising-interest-rate environment was an impediment to the convertible's bond component, narrowing credit spreads more than offset the impact from rising rates. The 3-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 0.19% to 0.35%, the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 0.38% to 0.86%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped from 0.88% to 1.65%. According to Bloomberg Barclays, high-yield credit spreads narrowed by 203 basis points to 338 basis points over U.S. Treasuries. Near-zero overnight interest rates were a headwind to the carry on the cash received from short positions (our custodian rebates us the fed funds rate less our roughly 35 basis points of borrowing costs).

In summary, the Fund benefited from the strong equity market performance as the equity basket used in the hedged equity portion of the portfolio rose. Volatility provided attractive rebalancing opportunities for both hedged equity and convertible arbitrage. Robust convertible issuance and narrowing credit spreads provided attractive opportunities in convertible arbitrage. The above factors combined to create a favorable environment that allowed the Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund to post a consistent positive return while similar risk investments (like bonds) were challenged during a period of rising interest rates.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had 54.1% in convertible arbitrage and 44.9% in covered call writing. The allocation to convertible arbitrage was trimmed from 57.7% at the beginning of the reporting period as we exited convertible positions that had become overly equity sensitive. Still, the allocation to convertible arbitrage remains at the higher end of the Fund's historical range, driven by bottom-up convertible arbitrage opportunity stemming from robust new convertible issuance. The strong issuance created ample opportunities for convertible arbitrage as a high percentage of these new convertibles traded well in the secondary market. Historically, there has been an embedded cheapness to a newly issued convertible, as issuers price the new convertible at a discount to fair value to facilitate bringing their paper to market. Through our selection process, we seek to avoid mispriced or aggressively priced convertibles and may benefit when the new convertibles trade closer to fair value in the secondary market.

Despite our active involvement in the new-issue market and a reduction in our allocation to in-the-money convertibles, the weighted average delta hedge of the convertible arbitrage strategy continues to hover at the high end of its historical range.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund

This is due to the appreciation of many convertible positions, including COVID-19 recovery names and several technology names.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund's hedged equity strategy has been positioned with a higher-than-typical hedge ratio. Throughout the reporting period, implied volatility levels were generally higher, especially relative to realized volatility. As a result, it has been difficult to create skew, although we have continued to look for opportunities to add trades that improve the risk/reward profile. We have also opportunistically maintained a higher call-write percentage because of elevated implied volatility.

Do you have any closing thoughts for shareholders?

We believe that the Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund is well positioned for the current market environment. Fiscal policy uncertainties, including the potential for tax increases and more regulation, are likely to introduce market volatility. Additionally, the pandemic, potential for inflation, and political divides are likely to fuel volatility and market rotation.

As rising interest rates put pressure on traditional bond strategies, we believe the Fund can provide especially compelling benefits as a fixed-income alternative. The Fund employs two complementary strategies—convertible arbitrage and hedged equity—to pursue absolute returns and income that is not dependent on interest rates.

CALAMOS HEDGED EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Funds 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 generate alpha via option market dynamics and equity market volatility. The Fund seeks to take advantage of these opportunities by being favorably positioned for as many outcomes as possible.

During the semiannual period, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund—positioned as an equity substitute—sought to provide better upside/downside asymmetry than long-only equities while dampening volatility within its equity sleeve. The team continued to utilize our 2020 approach that was highly responsive to volatile market conditions. The active approach to options strategy management serves as a critical differentiator versus peers who use less actively managed options-based strategies.

How has the Fund performed?

True to its risk-managed design, the Fund participated in the equity market's upside, approximately 53% upside capture of the S&P 500 Index, with significantly less risk based on a standard deviation of 7.6% versus long-only equities at 14.9%. Standard deviation is a measure of volatility. The Fund maintained a beta of 0.49, less than the historical beta of 0.52 versus the S&P 500 Index as of April 30, 2021. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.

For the first half of 2021, Calamos Hedged Equity Fund gained 13.50% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 500 Index gain of 28.85% and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index decrease of 1.52%. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund gained 7.06% (Class I shares at net asset value) on an annualized basis versus 14.07% for the S&P 500 Index and 2.51% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

During the semiannual period, the domestic macro theme continued to move from "Recovery" to "Reopening." Now the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use in children as young as 12; many Americans are upbeat about getting back to some new normal this summer. Surprisingly, the volatility markets, including the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), have been cut in half. The VIX started the period at 38.02 and ended down at 18.61 as of April 30. The VIX futures curve is pricing mid to upper 20s through the end of 2021. The portfolio is prepared for a choppy and volatile atmosphere; however, we remain positive overall on the equity markets and believe that that risk-on asset returns could challenge further upside.

Market strength could continue in 2021 as long as there is an uptick in employment and a continuing downtick in COVID-19 deaths. We do not expect to see the starts and stops that marked the reopening phases prevalent in Q4 2020. Of course, this depends on how much critical support in the form of continued accommodative fiscal and monetary policies can be delivered by the Biden Administration and global central banks.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund had less long-put exposure than we had in late 2020. The Fund has been positioned to the lower end of our guardrail long-put exposure of 40%. We took advantage of the volatility spikes in January and early March and hedged with expensive short calls. The higher call premiums meant we were being paid to sell the calls. This excess premium provided additional downside mitigation over our average 40% to 50% long-put notional minimum. To stay long leaning and keep the 'Fund's upside capture ratio close to 60% on the S&P 500 Index, the team used some of the excess premium budget to add upside long calls, improving our upside participation potential. As we noted, the current option implied volatility environment, and the strength in the equity market create added challenges in getting skew.* Option-implied volatility has been more normal going into the mid-year, and we expect that the 'VIX's actual volatility should stay at these levels. But there is one caveat, the VIX futures curve is pricing volatility in the second half of 2021 to be in the mid-20s. Considering that equities are near highs and realized volatility has been materially lower for a while, apart from some recent spurts, we expect to stay on the lower end of our beta budget, which is 48 – 49.

Should equity markets advance, the Fund's options positioning is poised to participate in upside while also providing an enhanced income stream from call spreads and equity dividends. Conversely, should the markets retreat, the dividend plus short-call income stream and the puts/put spreads used in the Fund will serve to provide potential downside mitigation.

We continue to use rallies to replace some of our put hedges with long-put spreads, which continue to appear more attractive. The Fund's net long put representation at the end of the period was 85%, with an average strike of 3707 (10.2% OTM). Our short-call positioning included a call write of -61%, gross short calls of -69%, and gross long calls of 7% at the end of the period.

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 to the materials, financials, consumer staples, real estate, and materials sectors. Relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund's market-cap positioning maintained a heavier relative weight to larger capitalization (>$25 billion) holdings and lighter weight to small and mid-capitalization ($1 to $25 billion).

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The equity markets should continue to challenge all-time highs at the end of the second half of 2021. But we must be aware that markets can and do shift sentiments: growth-to-value or stay-at-home versus back-to-work plays. Sometimes these can enter correction territory (declines >10%), as we saw in Q1 of 2020, and more often, they are less frightening pullbacks (declines <10%). The most significant drop in 2021 has been less than 2%, within the expected intraday range of roughly +/-1.2%. We expect equity markets to stay volatile well into 2021, which gives us reason to be 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

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:

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

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

  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 semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund returned 44.72% (Class I Shares at net asset value). By comparison, the S&P 500 Index returned 28.85% and the MSCI World Index returned 29.39% over the same period.

Since its inception on May 1, 2002, the Fund has returned 11.32% 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 9.53% and 8.63%, respectively, during that time.

While investors are persuaded that the world is heading back to normal, many are slow to understand the scale of the demand acceleration set in motion by the unprecedented circumstances. Shifts in the political and social landscape are equally portentous. Our general recognition of these dynamics in 2020 was critical, and we positioned the portfolio to optimize returns as the market rotated into sectors that offered value.

The adjustment in bond yields was significant in the period as well, but its impact was confined within the equity universe (limited to a rotation across sectors and styles) rather than at the index level. This ability of the market to absorb the rise in interest rates underscores the absence of fundamental risk for equities. Our ability to navigate within both sector and regional exposures was instrumental in our outperformance relative to general equity market indexes over the past six months.

What contributed to performance over the semiannual period under review?

The past six months were dominated by a material reassessment of the global economic outlook led by a "growth shock" in the U.S. This led to the outperformance of a range of cyclical recovery names that benefited the Fund's positioning. Industry performance was led by energy, industrials, and financials groups that dominated the Fund's long portfolio.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

The Fund's largest contributors were from long investments in the industrials and financials sectors, while short (hedging) positions in U.S. equities hindered performance. Notable contributors during the period included long positions in Morgan Stanley 3.6%* (financials) as well as Air Lease Corp. 4.2%* (industrials).

Notable detractors included short positions in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust -46.0%* (SPY) serving as a general market hedge, and a short position in Tesla, Inc. -1.6%* (consumer discretionary).

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

The broad themes have not changed: we prefer cyclicals over defensives, less mega-cap exposure and companies that can exhibit strong operating leverage in an ongoing recovery. We want to own stocks whose earnings over the coming year can rise more than the potential valuation compression in the major benchmarks.

Within the cyclical and recovery cohort, we focus on companies that should generate earnings in 2022 that are comfortably above 2019 levels. Many recovery stories will not meet this hurdle because of the lingering nature of the virus and due to capital raises that have diluted their earnings power. The Fund's largest industry biases include industrials and financials.

One corollary of this cyclical rotation is that fundamental risk for corporates is low. Expectations for S&P 500 earnings have risen by about 6% in Q1 2021, equivalent to the approximate rise in many benchmark indices. We see this trend persisting with positive estimate revisions led by industries near the epicenter of the downturn. For example, energy estimates have risen nearly 80% in Q1 2021.

The disturbance of rising interest rates—with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rising to as high as 1.74%—has been confined to its distributional impact across equity styles. The traditional view is that this turmoil is the consequence primarily of higher discount rates for future cash flows. But it is equally notable that investors are attaching lower risk to the corporate cash flows of cyclical, shorter-duration business models.

In the post-2008 era, the supremacy of the growth and quality styles has been so absolute and prolonged that it has dominated investor psychology and behavior everywhere. This trend of investment style is one reason to assume that the cyclical recovery stocks can continue to move higher if the coincident economic and corporate data remain robust.

Equally, we are reluctant to overlook the force of "managed markets" in amplifying the eventual move in the lower-quality, more-cyclical equity space. In a world of excess liquidity, repression of interest rates, speculation and leverage as well as the dominance of passive strategies, we have learned that financial markets discount fundamentals with relentless momentum.

This reflationary setting is producing competing bull markets in a range of risk assets, but considerable disruption as well. In the past quarter, bear markets emerged across various equity spaces such as Tesla, the solar franchise, and recent IPOs that had valued upstarts at levels disconnected from tangible fundamentals. This confluence of bull and bear moves reflects the unusual features of the recovery from the pandemic.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

2020 will be remembered as the decisive end of a policy orthodoxy that favored fixed income over equities through the post-2008 era. The future direction of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is the barometer for this proposition. If more fact than fiction, 2020 will symbolize the climax for long-duration assets everywhere.

Our investment strategy prefers higher rather than lower interest rates. This is not only a forecast, but a judgment that equities will respond positively to higher rates. This implies markets are already sensing regime change. While central banks are pushing against rising yields, we think the Fed will become more comfortable with economic recovery and more tolerant of rising yields by late summer.

The gap between bond yields and inflation forward expectations—typically a very close relationship—remains wide. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield can rise to the 2% level over the next six months as this gap closes with higher rates rather than inflation forwards rolling over. Even then, real interest rates (nominal interest rates less inflation forwards) would still be lower than most of the post-2008 era.

Real yields have been deeply negative through the pandemic. As the fear of deflation subsides, investors have little incentive to accept a negative real return on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds. The current real yield of -90 bps is 140 bps below the post-2008 average despite a very different economic and policy setting. Put simply, interest rates can rise because deflation risk is subsiding.

The important insight is that investors rarely pre-empt the rise in bond yields, tending to favor cyclicals coincidentally as long as yields move higher, and earnings momentum remains superior to the more defensive parts of the market. The Fund therefore remains biased toward the consumer, industrial reopening trade and financials.

The rotation since November has been impressive and benefited the Fund's positioning, but it is premature to lean against cyclical recovery. Cyclical underperformance would require peaking economic data, weaker relative earnings, and an end to rising bond yields. We will consider fading this nearer to the autumn of 2021 or early 2022 when the acceleration in activity is largely understood and the tailwind from fiscal stimulus is complete.

A new but imbalanced global cycle

2021 has begun with U.S. equities in their familiar pole position. The pandemic has not altered the international hierarchy of corporate profit growth as U.S. profit leadership is undiminished. Europe and much of the EM world are following, but their fundamentals are lagging.

The uneven escape from COVID-19 and the climax of Chinese equities in February reinforces the message that this is not a typical synchronized upturn. 2020 witnessed the early recovery of China, but the main attraction of 2021 is the U.S. "growth shock" and its new "politics of stimulus." All of this is symptomatic of the emerging fragmentation of the world economy.

Another factor is how the service industries have been at the epicenter of the pandemic. Prior global revivals were led by recoveries in manufactured goods and commodities, which tends to disperse demand worldwide due to global supply chains. In contrast, the more-domestic service industry is taking on a larger role in this revival versus past ones.

This underlines a few but not all the structural forces at work. One of these is the dire outlook for European society and its Japanese-style stagnation. Another is that China is not following the West with its reflationary impulse. Finally, the consensus bearishness on the U.S. dollar has been completely wrong, which shifts the investment advantage from emerging markets to the developed economies.

The consensus has interpreted U.S. policies to reflate as the signal for U.S. dollar weakness. However, this confuses the external value of money with its internal value. The latter rather than the former is devalued as systematic asset price inflation leads to falling future expected returns. This does not produce a decline in the external value of money (the currency) because net capital outflows are reduced.

One example of this dynamic is how rising U.S. bond yields encourage capital inflows from foreign investors. This limits the rise in yields and, thus, adds momentum to the cyclical resurgence and asset price inflation. This climaxes when the reflation creates its own internal constraints upon economic growth, usually through higher nominal interest rates and tighter liquidity.

The housing market, which should be the first sector to succumb to higher rates, would be the first piece of the slowdown story of 2022. For now, investors are mistaken to conclude that a risk-on economic cycle should catalyze a weaker U.S. dollar, at least while the cycle is dominated by U.S. reflation.

Pandemic dynamics point to the end of the deflationary era

Our recent reviews have argued that the most lasting impact of the pandemic is how it has resuscitated the role of big government across many developed societies—which entails giving in to the impulse for higher public spending, higher debt levels and greater government interference in many walks of life.

The early months of the Biden administration have not underwhelmed in this respect. Its proposals amount to a radical policy discontinuity. Media and corporates have minimized their extreme nature, focusing instead on the immediate benefits of support for risk assets. For now, the proposed increases in taxation could be offset by the induced benefits upon employment and output.

But it is equally clear that the political establishment is gravitating to the ideology that "debt does not matter." While taxes will surely rise for everyone, this expansion of the public sector role in the economy will be financed largely by debt rather than taxes. Therefore, the pandemic marks the beginning of the end of the deflationary era that accelerated post-2008.

This "new politics of stimulus" is a reaction to the perception of failure of orthodox practices. By this, we refer to the disintegration of the neo-liberal economic agenda of globalization, structural austerity and central bank largesse. No one imagines that austerity or reform can be re-imposed upon Western populations, while the pandemic has encouraged interventionism as politicians respond to the demand for a protective state.

Today's policy revolution has only imperfect parallels from the past, but the common thread is the abandonment of any belief in financial discipline. The implications of this are not yet visible on the horizon. For the next year, much of this immoderate spending should be positive for risk assets because of the removal of any constraint upon

liquidity. And yet, the lesson of history is that this liberation of liquidity is an eventual precursor to economic and financial instability.

Regime change rarely happens in a straight line. It is debated for years before the full import of the transition becomes visible in the economic and social character of the times. But the direction of travel points to a less moderate decade ahead—one whose ingredients include the bankruptcy of the policies of the past, the deterioration of social cohesion and the unrestrained willingness of governments to embark on debt-financed expansion.

It is premature to position portfolios for a world whose outline is barely discernible, yet there are a few sources of instability worth pondering. The first is the absence of any intellectual conviction or framework for determining policy beyond expediency. This implies an unpredictability that investors may be unaccustomed to. This combined with the different capacities of countries to reflate implies that greater variability and volatility could characterize the next cycle.

The second source of instability is how central banks have used financial markets as the conduit for reflation. Once today's wave of policy support is absorbed by risk assets and the marginal impact of the policy levers is exhausted, one wonders if a soft landing can be engineered.

The past quarter provided a foretaste of this dilemma as the Fed was far less able to control bond yields than many had assumed. Investors are enjoying the initial fruits of these developments, but the shape of 2022 is looking far less investor friendly.

2021 Benchmark Forecast

Our base case S&P 500 price range is $4,000 to $4,400, with heightened risk beyond May. The equity backdrop could remain constructive in the second half, but there is debate regarding the robustness of the U.S. consumer's recovery through the second half of the calendar year.

S&P 500 earnings estimates for 2021 are rising steadily and we see this extending into 2022. By Q4, S&P 500 earnings could be annualizing near $210/share, with investors looking to $230/share by late 2022. In normal times, consensus estimates plateau early in the calendar year and move lower in subsequent quarters. However, this is less common during the initial stages of economic recovery.

We see earnings as strongly levered to the momentum of global activity, and corporate margins will follow. Into 2022, climaxing momentum and peak margins along with taxation and regulation will weigh on the outlook. But this concern is premature for now. The bulk of 2021 revisions have been concentrated in energy, materials and financials, which are all some distance from peak margins.

Rising but still moderate inflation expectations and the likelihood of an extended economic expansion have driven the equity risk premium lower—offsetting the rise in 10-year U.S. Treasury yields—which could rise to the 2% level over the next six months as the gap between bond yields and inflation forward expectations remains wide. Even then, real interest rates would still be lower than most of the post-2008 era.

The consensus has come around to our view that rates will rise, and one wonders whether that should be interpreted as a contrarian signal. However, the dominance of fixed income over equity flows over the past decade implies the opposite could be

true. With investor psychology toward bonds finally inflecting, the momentum for higher rates could be powerful.

Investors will anticipate a gradual shift in central bank forward guidance, probably into autumn. This implies the multiple expansion story is over, with further equity upside dependent on earnings potential. This lower macro influence upon style factors leaves stock selection as the larger driver of alpha. This was true in Q1 and we think it remains true until economic momentum climaxes.

What are your closing thoughts for the coming six months?

The period was comfortably rewarding for investors, especially those focused on the cyclical-recovery, shorter-duration spaces within equities. Despite the rotational turmoil, most styles and sectors delivered positive returns. The notable exception was the non-cyclical defensive names, which struggled to overcome the rise in bond yields.

The dominant theme of 2021—cyclical resurgence led by America—is not entirely discounted by investors. At the stock level, the real opportunity lies in those businesses with material operating leverage to the ongoing "reopening waves." The remarkable growth story of 2021 will eventually generate its own constraints, but the upswing may not crest before the early months of 2022.

The fault lines of the past decade are beginning to fade. We imagine a very different investment cycle ahead, one whose prevailing features include the growing interventionism of the public sector, the acceleration of technological change and the fragmentation of the global economy amidst rising international tensions. At minimum, investors should prepare for the sector and style turmoil that appears inevitable.

The real problem for equities will emerge when the pandemic era passes and the debate over how to withdraw stimulus programs begins. The world beyond the pandemic will not be a return to the prior status quo. All of this explains our growing apprehension for risk assets beyond 2021, when the exceptional conditions created by the pandemic begin to fade.

At that point, risk assets will face a formidable problem of "re-entry" into a new investment world. Even though "the worm will turn" to quote an old proverb, it does so slowly, so stay bullish for now.

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 semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Convertible Fund had a positive return of 23.53% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the ICE BofA All U.S. Convertibles Index (VXA0) increase of 27.33%. For the same period, the S&P 500 Index gained 28.85%.

Since Class I shares inception on June 25, 1997, the Fund returned 9.31% on an annualized basis compared with an annualized gain of 9.32% for the ICE BofA All U.S. Convertibles Index and an 8.73% annualized return for the S&P 500 Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The convertible market posted very strong results during the period, responding well to the COVID-19 vaccine rollouts, positive economic data, fiscal stimulus and accommodative monetary policies. The Fund's performance was driven in part by its exposure to technology issuers whose products facilitate working, playing, learning and shopping from home. In addition, the Fund had investments in the technology companies that make it all happen, including those in cloud computing and internet security. During the national quarantine, the adoption of these technologies accelerated at a rapid pace. Additionally, the portfolio benefited by including cyclical companies such as cruise lines, restaurants, airlines, retailers and live-event providers—well-poised to participate in the economic recovery as the end of the pandemic comes closer into view and expectations for "getting back to normal" seem tangible at last.

Along with strong performance, the convertible and equity markets did experience higher volatility as the last six months have included a high-stakes U.S. presidential election, a run-off election in Georgia that determined Congressional leadership, increasing interest rates, the storming of the U.S. Capitol, the vaccine rollout and commodity shortages. With the heightened risk related to the cumulation of events, our preference has been to focus on convertibles with balanced risk-reward attributes and to be underweight the most equity-sensitive convertibles—which generally lack favorable downside risk mitigation. This underweight position slightly held back returns as the most equity sensitive convertibles performed similarly to the overall equity market (+39.6% as measured by the ICE BofA Equity Alternative U.S. Convertible index (VEQU)). Convertibles with a more balanced risk/reward profile were up 25.4%, while those convertibles displaying more credit sensitivity were up 12.3% (as measured by the ICE BofA Total Return U.S. Convertible (VTOT) and ICE BofA Yield Alternative U.S. Convertible (VYLD) indices, respectively).

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund benefited most from its underweight positioning and selection in the financials sector, overweight allocation to consumer discretionary, and an underweight allocation to the utilities sector. In financials, the portfolio benefited from strong selection in the asset management & custody banks and by avoiding the lagging mortgage REITs and consumer finance industries. Areas that detracted from performance principally related to selecting names that exhibited better risk-reward profiles—but underperformed the most equity-sensitive convertibles whose downside mitigation is deficient—specifically within information technology (application software and semiconductors) and consumer discretionary sector names (automobiles industry).

Calamos Convertible Fund

How is the Fund positioned?

We have placed an emphasis on optimizing the risk/reward profile in our positioning. We have actively positioned the portfolio to benefit from companies capitalizing on cyclical growth opportunities coming to fruition with the economy's reopening as the pandemic subsides. These opportunities span multiple industries in travel and entertainment, as noted previously, but also include typically more cyclical industries such as semiconductors, autos and housing. However, the Fund is maintaining significant exposure to secular growth areas, as we believe companies tied to long-term societal themes or multi-cycle trends enhance the prospects for success over time and can act as an enduring "wind in our sails."

New convertible issuance was robust during the semiannual period as $103.8 billion came to market globally and $62.1 billion was generated in the U.S. In terms of perspective, both those six-month amounts exceeded each of their respective annual (12-month) periods from 2007 through 2019. The new issuance expanded the convertible universe and provided an opportunity for us to rebalance the portfolio into convertibles displaying more attractive risk-reward profiles. The improved risk-reward, which provides more participation in an equity's upside move relative to a downside correction, benefits the portfolio in volatile periods. In actively managing the portfolio, we take advantage of these periods by repositioning the portfolio into structurally stronger risk-reward convertibles. For example, we may sell those convertibles that have moved up and exhibit pure equity-like characteristics (with greater downside risk) or sell those that have moved down and exhibit pure credit-like characteristics (with limited upside potential). We believe this continual portfolio restructuring provides for the best opportunity to achieve solid risk adjusted returns over the long-term.

Overall, the portfolio's largest absolute and relative overweight allocations remain within the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. The portfolio's largest relative underweight exposures went toward more defensive areas such as the financials and utilities sectors where we believe convertible structures are less favorable.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Looking out over the next year, we maintain a favorable view of the convertible market for multiple reasons: companies have shifted from the 2020 focus of firming up balance sheets and accessing liquidity to promoting growth, expansion, capital spending, inventory rebuilding and M&A; convertibles remain an attractive, quickly accessible low cost of capital for issuers; many new issuers continue to come to the convertible market, providing interesting new opportunities; and finally, we're positive on the economy.

We expect a strong economic recovery to unfold through the year as significant fiscal stimulus, accommodative monetary policy, pent-up consumer demand and continued progress on COVID-19 vaccinations all combine to provide a powerful cyclical backdrop. However, the transition will likely be choppy with periods of uncertainty and market rotations, similar to what the markets experienced in the first calendar quarter of 2021. Fiscal stimulus and monetary policy have been key to stabilizing financial markets and driving recovery, but the potential for heightened volatility may increase as the markets await specific details of new fiscal spending and tax policies, regulatory changes and an eventual withdrawal of liquidity provided by monetary policy. Add to all this possibly higher inflation, rising interest rates, COVID-19 variants and other assorted geopolitical issues. Against this backdrop, we believe the strategic case for our actively managed convertible approach remains strong, as we position the Calamos Convertible Fund for further upside participation in higher market moves while managing downside risk.

CALAMOS GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Global Convertible Fund returned 17.98% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index return of 20.84%. 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. Although equity-sensitive convertibles outperformed balanced convertibles during the period, we believe the Fund's longer-term performance affirms the wisdom of this strategy. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund increased 10.32% (Class I shares at net asset value) annualized versus a 9.69% gain for the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The global equity and convertible markets responded well to the COVID-19 vaccination rollouts, positive economic data, fiscal stimulus and accommodative monetary policies and posted very strong period results. Moreover, convertibles performed well—as they traditionally have—during a period of rising interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased 75 basis points to 1.63% during the reporting period.

The Fund was well positioned in relation to COVID-19 related themes, as it had a heavy representation in service and technology companies that allowed people to work, learn, shop, entertain and receive medical attention at home. In addition, the portfolio included cyclical companies well-poised to participate in the recovery as the end of the pandemic draws near. During the period, the Fund was well ahead of the equity market until mid-February when the global equity markets rotated out of growth names that were also heavily represented in the global convertible market and the Fund.

New convertible issuance was robust during the period with $103.8 billion issued globally. The new issuance expanded the convertible universe and, as a result, provided an opportunity to rebalance convertibles that had become too equity sensitive with convertibles with more attractive risk-reward profiles. Our preference for these balanced convertibles led us to be relatively underweight to the most equity-sensitive convertibles in the market. Despite the Fund's strong overall period result, the underweight allocation to the most equity-sensitive convertibles held back the relative return. Within the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, convertibles with more than 80% equity sensitivity rose 37.5% and strongly outperformed convertibles with balanced risk-reward attributes (40% – 80% equity sensitivity; +20.5%) and convertibles with more credit sensitivity (<40% equity sensitivity; +10.1%).

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund most benefited from its underweight allocation to the utilities sector. Strong security selection in the industrials sector also added value, as holdings in the airlines industry outperformed. Areas that most detracted from performance included materials and information technology. Within materials, an underweight allocation and security selection, notably in the steel industry, held back the relative return. In information technology, the relative return was hindered by an overweight allocation and security selection within the application software and data processing & outsourced services industries.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
24


Calamos Global Convertible Fund

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefitted from favorable security selection in Japan and Emerging Asia. Similarly, an underweight allocation in Europe was beneficial to Fund performance. Security selection within the United States and Emerging Latin America held back the relative result.

How is the Fund positioned?

We actively rebalance the Fund with the goal of providing more exposure to global equity market upside than potential downside. As discussed, the increased amount of new convertible issuance has provided an opportunity to rebalance many of the portfolio's more equity-sensitive holdings. In fact, the Fund's overall level of equity sensitivity stands underweight relative to the global convertible market.

Much of the period rebalancing has focused on the technology sector. We also have been active in rebalancing COVID-19 recovery names such as cruise ships and airlines. We pared the Fund's overweight to COVID-19 recovery names in January as many companies had begun to price in a full recovery. Throughout the remainder of the period, we continued to reduce the Fund's COVID-19 recovery exposure to a roughly neutral weighting. Information technology represents the portfolio's largest overweight and absolute weight. Consumer discretionary is the second highest absolute weight, although it has a neutral weighting relative to the benchmark index. The communication services and utilities sectors represent the portfolio's significant relative underweights, while energy and consumer staples represent the smallest absolute weights.

From a regional standpoint, the Fund's largest weights fall within the United States and Europe. Conversely, Japan and Canada represent the smallest absolute weights. Relative to the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, the Fund has overweight allocations to Emerging Asia and Emerging Europe and South Africa with underweight allocations to Europe and Emerging Latin America. These regional allocations have been driven by bottom-up considerations rather than a macro call.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

We maintain a positive outlook for the global convertible market, as the Federal Reserve's accommodative stance and vaccination progress provide powerful tailwinds. Headline inflation might increase over the near term, but we do not expect a sustained ramp-up.

Vaccine availability in the United States has shifted from scarce to abundant. As the vaccine rollout continues to move forward, the U.S. is making meaningful progress in its fight against the virus. Against this backdrop, we expect travel and leisure industries (airlines, cruise ships, tourist destinations) to see improvement, which in turn should drive economic growth and employment gains. These continued improvements combined with very loose fiscal and monetary policies should propel equities higher, offsetting the likely headwinds of rising taxes and more regulations.

We believe the fundamentals of the global convertible market remain strong and expect convertibles to continue providing a means of participating in the equity market's upside while also providing a measure of downside risk mitigation as the market climbs the wall of worry. While the Calamos Global Convertible Fund provides an opportunity to defensively participate in the equity market, it has also demonstrated strong relative performance during periods of rising interest rates, thereby providing an enhancement to fixed-income allocations.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMALL CAP
GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund posted a strong return of 44.89% (Class I Shares at net asset value) outperforming the gain of 37.84% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Since Class I shares inception on March 23, 2011, the Fund has returned 17.25% on an annualized basis, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 13.64% over the same period. We believe this comparison demonstrates the Fund's ability to outdistance its benchmark over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period. In the U.S., new COVID-19 cases peaked in early January 2021, the case for reopening the economy strengthened further, and cyclical growth businesses joined the market's move upward. The equity market largely shrugged off a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as the move began from an extremely low base, and corporate earnings continued to impress. Accommodative monetary policy and massive stimulus further fueled strong economic growth.

Stocks at the smaller end of the market-capitalization spectrum led the way during the period. The Russell Microcap Index outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (as a measure for small-cap stocks), which in turn outperformed the Russell Midcap Index, while the Russell 1000 Index (as a measure for large-cap stocks) trailed overall.

Cyclical growth businesses joined in with robust performance. Many of these cyclical areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings because of the pandemic. As the reopening phase gained momentum, the energy sector led the Russell 2000 Growth Index with a 108% gain during the semiannual period. The consumer discretionary sector, which has a mix of cyclical and secular opportunities, posted a 57% return. Industrials (+48%) and materials (+45%), or the more cyclically oriented sectors, saw a boost from improving macroeconomic trends. Communication services (+41%) and information technology (+40%) continued to post strong performance for the full period. Real estate (+36%), consumer staples (+32%), financials (+28%) and health care (+27%) had strong returns, though lagged the overall benchmark return. The more outright defensive utilities sector (+17%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

For the full reporting period, the Fund was able to significantly outperform the Russell 2000 Growth Index through strong security selection, though sector allocations were notably additive as well. The biggest contributor to the Fund's relative performance was security selection and the underweight to the health care sector. Strong selection within the biotechnology space notably benefited returns during the period. Although the biotechnology industry was a laggard for the semiannual period,

OVERVIEW

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

Fund holdings strongly outperformed those of the index and the health care index. Additionally, the Fund's underweight to the biotechnology industry contributed to performance. Strong selection amongst health care technology stocks was also additive.

Over the period, security selection and an average underweight allocation within information technology hindered relative results, as holdings in application software and semiconductors underperformed. In many cases, relative performance lagged due to names not owned that performed strongly as investors rotated into many stocks that had trailed the sector previously. The Fund's weight in information technology had been reduced over the prior few quarters as we believed the strongest businesses in the space had more valuation risk. The relative weight to information technology names did increase during the beginning of 2021. Investments in communication services detracted slightly during the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

We continue to invest in both long-term secular growth stocks and certain cyclical growth stocks that we believe will directly benefit from an overall economic uptick. In the past few months, we have modestly increased exposure to cyclical sectors like industrials, materials and financials, while still maintaining a secular growth tilt within the overall portfolio. We believe this diversified positioning added value during the second half of the reporting period. Among secular growers, we have investments aligned with a variety of themes including e-commerce, cloud communications, and certain pockets of healthcare and consumer discretionary. We have also invested in several companies that are ESG-friendly, using substantial amounts of recycled materials within their manufacturing processes. On the cyclical growth side, we are tilted toward semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment, auto retailers, transportation, outdoor leisure and certain stocks with exposure to residential real estate.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

We continue to feel confident about the outlook for small-capitalization growth stocks. For the past several months, we have been on record predicting that the stars have aligned for sustained outperformance of these asset classes. Lately, the overall stock market has agreed. Recently, we have seen small-cap performance lead the overall stock market, especially the micro caps or the smallest of the small.

With a vaccine rollout outpacing those of global peers, a Federal Reserve fully committed to accommodative policies, and a White House willing to inject unprecedented amounts of stimulus, the U.S. is poised to lead the global recovery in 2021. Current projections by the International Monetary Fund show the U.S. economy expanding by 6.4% this year. If achieved, this would represent the country's highest real GDP annual percent change in nearly 40 years. This bodes well for small-cap stocks, which have historically performed well on both an absolute and relative basis during periods of strong and rising GDP growth. These rapidly improving economic conditions are contributing to a strong backdrop for corporate profits. Equally important, the reopening of the U.S. economy has significantly widened the opportunity set for the Fund beyond the traditional secular growth segments of the market.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund

The small-cap leadership cycle began approximately eight months ago, but we think it has a long way to go. History has shown a typical small-cap cycle generates meaningful outperformance and lasts seven years on average, not eight months. This is a key factor behind our bullishness for the asset class. Due to our positive outlook for small caps, we have positioned the Fund to have disproportionately higher allocations to companies further down in the market-capitalization spectrum, especially micro caps.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/21, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.40%, Class I shares is 1.16% and Class R6 shares is 1.09%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023, to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A shares and Class I shares are limited to 1.30% and 1.05% of average net assets, respectively. The Fund's investment 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.

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.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund posted a strong return of 36.24% (Class I Shares at net asset value), outperforming the gain of 32.00% for the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

A combination of security selection and sector positioning helped drive the Fund's positive performance during a turbulent market.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period. In the U.S., COVID-19 new cases peaked in early January 2021, the case for reopening the economy strengthened further, and cyclical growth businesses joined the market's move upward. The equity market largely shrugged off a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as the move began from an extremely low base, and corporate earnings continued to impress. Accommodative monetary policy and massive stimulus further fueled strong economic growth.

Stocks at the smaller end of the market-capitalization spectrum led the way during the period. The Russell Microcap Index outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (as a measure for small-cap stocks), which in turn outperformed the Russell Midcap Index, while the Russell 1000 Index (as a measure for large-cap stocks) trailed overall.

Cyclical growth businesses joined in with robust performance. Many of these cyclical areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings because of the pandemic. As the reopening phase gained momentum, the energy sector led the Russell 2500 Growth Index with a 93% gain during the semiannual period. The consumer discretionary sector, which has a mix of cyclical and secular opportunities, posted a 48% return. Industrials (+44%) and materials (+35%), more cyclically oriented sectors, saw a boost from improving macroeconomic trends. Real estate (+34%), communication services (+33%) and information technology (+32%) continued to post strong performance for the full period. Consumer staples (+24%), financials (+23%) and health care (+23%) had strong returns, though they lagged the overall benchmark return. The more outright defensive utilities sector (+17%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

Quite a few sectors added significant value to the Fund's relative performance. The Fund's leading security selection and an average underweight allocation in health care positively contributed to relative performance. Strong selection within the biotechnology space notably benefited returns during the period. Although the biotechnology industry was a laggard for the semiannual period, Fund holdings

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

◼  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.

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

◼  Analyzes secular trends to uncover exploitable investment opportunities specific to small- and mid-cap companies.

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.

strongly outperformed those of the index and the health care index. Additionally, the Fund's underweight to biotechnology contributed to performance. Health care technology stocks were also additive. Security selection in financials contributed to performance. In fact, the performance of Fund holdings in the sector more than doubled those of the benchmark. Specifically, investment banking & brokerage holdings outperformed strongly, and our lack of representation in several lagging industries such as financial exchanges & data added to relative return.

Over the period, selection and an average underweight stance within information technology weakened relative returns, as holdings in application software and systems software hurt relative results. In many cases, relative performance lagged due to names not owned that performed strongly as investors rotated into many stocks that had trailed the sector previously. The Fund's weight in information technology had been reduced over the prior few quarters, as we believed the strongest businesses in the space had more valuation risk. Security selection within the oil & gas refining & marketing industry as well as the oil & gas equipment & services industry of the energy sector also lagged. While the energy sector is a very small weight within the benchmark (less than one half of one percent), the outsized returns from the space caused our underweight and selection to detract from performance relative to the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

How is the Fund positioned?

We continue to invest in both long-term secular growth stocks and certain cyclical growth stocks that we believe will directly benefit from an overall economic uptick. In the past few months, we have modestly increased exposure to cyclical sectors like industrials, materials and financials, while still maintaining a secular growth tilt within the overall portfolio. We believe this diversified positioning added value during the second half of the reporting period.

CALAMOS GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Growth Fund returned 29.43% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 1500 Growth Index return of 25.65%. By way of comparison, the broad equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, advanced with a return of 28.85% for the same period.

Since Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 12.18% on an annualized basis. The S&P 1500 Growth Index, the primary benchmark, returned 9.36% over the same period, and the S&P 500 Index returned 8.35%. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance the growth and broad indices over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period. In the U.S., new COVID-19 cases peaked in early January 2021, the case for reopening the economy strengthened further, and cyclical growth businesses joined the market's move upward. The equity market largely shrugged off a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as the move began from an extremely low base, and corporate earnings continued to impress. Accommodative monetary policy and massive stimulus further fueled strong economic growth.

Growth stocks saw cyclical growth businesses join in with strong performance. Many of those areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings. As reopening gained momentum, the energy sector led the S&P 1500 Growth Index with an 82% gain during the semiannual period. Financial stocks also benefitted from renewed confidence and a steepening yield curve, delivering a 37% return. Communications services continued to perform well with a 34% return, while more cyclical growth sectors such as industrials (+34%) and materials (+27%) received a boost from improving macroeconomic trends. Information technology (+25%) had benchmark-like returns, while consumer discretionary (+23%), real estate (+20%) and health care (+18%) had strong gains. More outright defensive areas such as consumer staples (+11%) and utilities (+9%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection within the financials sector. While financials represented the second-leading sector within the growth benchmark, the Fund's selection approximately doubled the performance of the sector overall. Our holdings in investment banking & brokerage and consumer finance notably aided relative returns. The Fund's weighting to financials was broadly neutral relative to the benchmark. Favorable security selection and an average overweight allocation in information technology also added to the Fund's performance, especially in the

semiconductor equipment and semiconductors industries, which can be thought of as more cyclical opportunities within the tech space.

Over the period, an average underweight stance and selection within the communication services sector dampened relative performance, as holdings in the interactive media & services and alternative carriers industries lagged. Security selection and an average underweight position in energy also lost ground on a relative basis. Nonparticipation in oil & gas refining & marketing hurt relative performance. Additionally, our lack of exposure to oil & gas exploration & production held back return. Energy is a very small portion of the growth market, yet the outsized gains for the sector during the quarter caused the portfolio's energy positioning to be a slight drag on relative performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The portfolio remains broadly diversified with a focus on a mix of durable, secular themes and more cyclical growth opportunities. During the reporting period, the Fund increased its relative weights to the industrials and financials sectors. The Fund's holdings in industrials were already a slight overweight when the reporting period began, while financials went from a slight underweight to an overweight position over the semiannual period. Conversely, relative Fund weightings were reduced within the information technology and health care sectors in order to manage around valuation as well as source more cyclical growth opportunities. Information technology remains the Fund's and the benchmark's largest overall sector. As mentioned in previous commentaries, some of the key themes driving business before the pandemic, many of which reside within information technology, only accelerated during the pandemic. Connectivity, data storage, and online retail remain key themes, and there are many businesses in these spaces that offer strong growth prospects in a less-certain economic backdrop, yet need to be monitored for valuation and investor sentiment.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

As the U.S. economy continues to reopen and rebound sharply, the current environment for growth investing is quite robust with ample opportunities across many industries and sectors. Calamos Growth Fund remains well positioned in longer-term secular growth themes, which include cloud computing, electric vehicles and digital payments. And the Fund is also well represented in cyclical growth themes that are particularly compelling in the consumer, industrials and financials sectors, given the accelerating recovery now underway.

With a vaccine rollout outpacing those of global peers, a Federal Reserve fully committed to accommodative policies, and a White House willing to inject unprecedented amounts of stimulus, the U.S. is poised to lead the global recovery in 2021. Current projections by the International Monetary Fund show the U.S. economy expanding by 6.4% this year. If achieved, this would represent the country's highest real GDP annual percent change in nearly 40 years. These rapidly improving economic conditions are contributing to a very strong backdrop for corporate profits. The recovery in earnings for U.S. companies has come faster than most expected, with S&P 500 EPS projected to cumulatively grow 25% this year and surpass 2019 levels by 9%. Most importantly, the reopening of the U.S. economy has significantly widened the opportunity set for the Fund beyond the traditional secular growth segments of the market.

With this as a backdrop, we have broadened our holdings to capture the pent-up demand of a global reopening. Our expanded portfolio includes exposure to companies poised to profit from a normalization in travel and leisure, casino gaming and on-premise food and beverage services.

CALAMOS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Growth and Income Fund posted strong returns with a gain of 26.82% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus a return of 28.85% for the S&P 500 Index, which means the Fund captured 93% of the equity market's gain for the period. The ICE BofA All U.S. Convertibles ex Mandatory Index registered a gain of 29.00% for the period. We manage this 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 10.44% on an annualized basis versus an 8.51% gain for the S&P 500 Index and 9.53% return for the ICE BofA All U.S. 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. 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?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period. In the U.S., new COVID-19 cases peaked in early January 2021, the case for reopening the economy strengthened further, and cyclical growth businesses joined the market's move upward. The equity market largely shrugged off a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as the move began from an extremely low base, and corporate earnings continued to impress. Accommodative monetary policy and massive stimulus further fueled strong economic growth.

Cyclical growth businesses captured investor attention and had strong performance during the period. Many of these cyclical areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings because of the pandemic. As the reopening phase gained momentum, the energy sector led the S&P 500 Index with a 76% gain during the semiannual period. Financial stocks also benefitted from renewed confidence and a steepening yield curve, delivering a 54% return. Cyclical growth sectors industrials (+36%) and materials (+32%) saw a boost from improving macroeconomic trends. Communications services continued to perform well with a

32% return during the period. Real estate (+28%) and information technology (+27%) had benchmark-like returns, while consumer discretionary (+24%) and health care (+21%) had strong returns. More outright defensive areas such as consumer staples (+13%) and utilities (+9%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

For the full reporting period, the Fund was able to perform broadly in line with the all-equity S&P 500 Index, even while utilizing convertible securities and options to reduce overall equity risk. The biggest contributor to the Fund's relative performance was security selection within the materials sector. Specifically, equity holdings within copper and industrial gases were sources of strength. In addition, the Fund's underweight to the more defensive consumer staples sector was additive to relative performance, as we viewed cyclical and secular growth as more attractive considering economic conditions.

The Fund's security selection within the industrials sector dampened return, as holdings in the industrial machinery and electrical components & equipment industries lost ground on a relative basis. The Fund had increased the relative weight in industrials prior to the reporting period by utilizing convertible securities, which provided solid-yet-lagging returns during this semiannual period. Selection and an average underweight position in energy lost ground on a relative basis. Specifically, integrated oil & gas and our nonparticipation in oil & gas equipment & services held back return, while the energy sector was the index's leader for the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

We have positioned the Fund to include companies with improving cash flows that are driving intrinsic value growth to levels higher than current market values. We remain modestly concerned about rising commodity and labor costs having a negative impact on margins, so we seek companies that have some level of pricing power or other sources of operating leverage.

For cyclicals, we have focused on companies with positive earnings revisions, higher-than-average operating leverage, improved post-pandemic competitive positions, and service economy or discretionary consumer spending exposures. For growth companies, we have focused on companies with accelerating fundamentals in 2021 or businesses that can maintain high growth rates in 2022 and 2023, improving margins, and valuations that we can characterize as "growth at a reasonable price."

We remain underweight lower-beta areas—especially those with higher-equity valuations. Overweight sectors include consumer discretionary, technology and industrials. We continue to utilize convertible securities in many higher-risk areas of the market—including more-aggressive growth and deeper cyclical areas—seeking to provide positive asymmetric returns in lower-risk structures. As volatility has declined over the past several months, the Fund is selectively utilizing calls and puts as we seek to further manage downside risk and provide opportunity for upside.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The U.S. economy is entering a vaccination recovery period, and we agree with the consensus view for above-average GDP growth in 2021. The asset markets have priced in much of this economic improvement already, and we believe the level of future asset returns will be positive but at lower levels than we saw during the early phase

of this recovery. Future asset returns are likely to be driven by the magnitude and duration of the economic recovery, changes in corporate cash flows and businesses' intrinsic values versus current market valuations.

The drivers of the magnitude and duration of this economic recovery include COVID-19 containment/social reopening, accommodative financial conditions/monetary policy, fiscal policy and productivity/margin improvement. Financial conditions should remain accommodative for an extended period, but the next move will be tightening. The current market environment already prices in economic improvement—but company fundamentals should outperform—pushing equity prices higher. These factors may continue to introduce periods of volatility, and the Fund's strategy may be well-suited for this environment.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Dividend Growth Fund returned 29.33% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 500 Index return of 28.85%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period.

Many of these cyclical areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings because of the pandemic.

Financial stocks also benefitted from renewed confidence and a steepening yield curve, delivering a 54% return.

More outright defensive areas such as consumer staples (+13%) and utilities (+9%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

The Fund benefited from security selection and an average overweight position in financials. These decisions contributed strong absolute performance and helped drive relative results. Specifically, our holdings in investment banking & brokerage and diversified banks were leading contributors. A steepening yield curve as well as increased financial and investment activity bolstered those industries. Leading security selection in communication services also added to the Fund's results. The main contributors within this sector were integrated telecommunication services and movies & entertainment.

Over the period, selection and an average underweight position within the industrials sector detracted from return, as holdings in industrial machinery lagged. Missing out on the small-but-resurgent agricultural & farm machinery industry also detracted from relative performance. Security selection and an average underweight allocation in real

CALAMOS SELECT FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2020, Calamos Select Fund returned 30.50% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 500 Index return of 28.85%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

U.S. equities enjoyed strong returns over the semiannual period, as markets continued to recover from the severe COVID-19-related downturn in February and March of 2020. Positive data on vaccine efficacy and hopes of an imminent vaccine rollout buoyed investor enthusiasm during the period. In the U.S., COVID-19 new cases peaked in early January 2021, the case for reopening the economy strengthened further, and cyclical growth businesses joined the market's move upward. The equity market largely shrugged off a near doubling of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as the move began from an extremely low base, and corporate earnings continued to impress. Accommodative monetary policy and massive stimulus further fueled strong economic growth.

Stock market performance broadened during the semiannual period, and cyclical businesses joined in with strong gains. Many of these cyclical areas had previously lagged due to hindered mobility and restrictions on gatherings. As reopening momentum gathered steam, the energy sector led the S&P 500 Index with a 76% gain during the semiannual period. Financial stocks also benefitted from renewed confidence and a steepening yield curve and delivered a 54% return. Cyclical growth sectors such as industrials (+36%) and materials (+32%) got a boost from improving macroeconomic trends. Communication services (+32%) continued to perform well, while real estate (+29%) and information technology (+27%) delivered benchmark-like returns. Consumer discretionary (+24%) and health care (+21%) also had strong returns, though trailed the S&P 500 Index. More outright defensive areas such as consumer staples (+13%) and utilities (+9%) delivered solid absolute returns but lagged the benchmark significantly.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection within the financials sector. While financials represented the second-leading sector within the growth benchmark, the Fund's selection significantly outperformed those of the sector overall. Specifically, our holdings in investment banking & brokerage and consumer finance represented major contributors The Fund's slight overweight to financials was also additive relative to benchmark performance. Favorable security selection and an average underweight stance in information technology also added to the Fund's performance, especially in the semiconductor equipment and semiconductors industries, which can be thought of as a more cyclical opportunity within the tech space.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
46


Calamos Select Fund

Over the period, security selection within the consumer discretionary sector dampened relative performance, as holdings in the apparel, accessories & luxury goods and internet & direct marketing retail industries lost ground on a relative basis. Selection and an average underweight stance in real estate also trailed on a relative basis. Specifically, specialized REITs and our lack of exposure in retail REITs held back return. Real estate is a relatively small portion of the market, and we see fewer compelling fundamental opportunities in the space.

How is the Fund positioned?

The portfolio remains broadly diversified with a mix of durable, secular themes and more cyclical growth opportunities. During the reporting period, the Fund increased its relative weights to the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Within consumer staples, new names within the foods industries added value. Consumer discretionary names were added in autos, auto parts and casinos & gaming. Conversely, relative Fund weightings were reduced in the health care and real estate sectors in order to manage around valuation as well as source more cyclical growth opportunities. The Fund is broadly diversified by sector, favoring individual stock selection to significant sector over and underweights, and owns a mix of cyclical and secular growth opportunities.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

As the U.S. economy continues to reopen and rebound sharply, the current environment for growth investing is quite robust, with ample opportunities across many industries and sectors. Calamos Select Fund remains well positioned in both longer-term secular growth themes—from cloud computing to electric vehicles to digital payments—and cyclical growth themes in the consumer, industrials, and financials sectors that are particularly compelling, given the accelerating recovery now underway.

With a vaccine rollout outpacing those of global peers, a Federal Reserve fully committed to accommodative policies, and a White House willing to inject unprecedented amounts of stimulus, the U.S. is poised to lead the global recovery in 2021. Current projections by the International Monetary Fund show the U.S. economy expanding by 6.4% this year. If achieved, this would represent the country's highest real GDP annual percent change in nearly 40 years. These rapidly improving economic conditions are contributing to a very strong backdrop for corporate profits. The recovery in earnings for U.S. companies has come faster than most expected, with S&P 500 EPS projected to cumulatively grow 25% this year and surpass 2019 levels by 9%. Most importantly, the reopening of the U.S. economy has significantly widened the opportunity set for the Fund beyond the traditional secular growth segments of the market.

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos International Growth Fund returned 26.99% (Class I shares at net asset value), versus the 22.25% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and 27.66% return for the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Index for the period. The Fund's return landed within the 11th percentile of the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category during this time period.*

Since its inception on March 17, 2005, the Fund has returned 9.44% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 7.00% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and 6.22% increase for the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate long-term excess returns over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

International stocks rose significantly over the semiannual period as investors responded to the global economic recovery and progress against the pandemic, but also confronted the impacts of rising interest rates and intermittent spikes in volatility.

The Fund generated strong returns over the period owing to a combination of favorable sector positioning and an appropriate blend of fundamental attributes. Many of our holdings in international companies with advantaged business models performed well, as did our increased cyclical opportunities and companies positioned to benefit from COVID-19-recovery scenarios.

The Fund's leading security selection and an average underweight stance in health care helped relative results. Positions in the pharmaceuticals industry and names in the health care supplies industry notably added to relative performance.

An average overweight allocation and leading security selection in information technology also added to the Fund's performance, especially in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries.

Over the period, selection within the consumer discretionary sector detracted from return, as holdings in the internet & direct marketing retail and apparel, accessories & luxury goods industries lagged on a relative basis. Security selection within the oil & gas refining & marketing and integrated oil & gas industries of the energy sector hurt relative returns.

From a regional standpoint, leading security selection in Europe helped drive relative returns. The Fund's securities outperformed—particularly those in the Netherlands and Germany.

By contrast, selection in Emerging Asia hampered relative results. In particular, our holdings in China and India rose over the period but lagged the stronger returns of the index for those two countries.

*  Data is as of 4/30/21. 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 7th, 13th, 12th and 31st percentiles of 441, 383, 322 and 225 funds for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category.

Calamos International Growth Fund

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, actively integrating them into the investment decision-making process.

  We positioned the Fund with a combination of secular growth companies—and increased cyclical opportunities—as these economically sensitive businesses are positioned to benefit from a more-synchronized global recovery in the coming months.

  Information technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and financials are the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key positions include interactive media & services, semiconductors, diversified banks, internet retail, apparel & luxury goods and industrial machinery. We have an underweight stance in more defensive areas including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms. We hold moderate weights in energy and materials, with holdings in companies positioned to benefit from higher commodity prices and a pickup in global demand.

  We own diversified holdings—with a blend of end markets and business types—in Europe. Positioning reflects a blend of secular demand areas and companies with more cyclical characteristics.

  We have significant weight in Japan and view the market favorably as the global recovery broadens out to more regions this year. Monetary and fiscal stimulus remains accommodative, and Japan stands to benefit from rising industrial production and export activity.

  We own a range of holdings in emerging markets—reflecting our positive view of opportunities ahead as the economic and pandemic recovery progresses. We own names in key demand areas including interactive media & services, e-commerce, semiconductors, and higher quality financials.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

International stocks continue to navigate a range of crosscurrents. We are analyzing the economic recovery, alongside policy actions and the path of corporate earnings. Global monetary policy remains highly accommodative and fiscal authorities are implementing an array of programs to boost economic activity. We see many opportunities in international markets, reflective of abundant liquidity, rising earnings, and progress in vaccine deployment. Despite these potential tailwinds, we are mindful that markets will likely remain volatile, and we remain closely attuned to risks.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor a blend of secular growth and more cyclical characteristics that are well-positioned for a pickup in economic activity. We favor investments in companies with advantaged business models, healthy balance sheets and the ability to compound growth over the medium to longer-term period. From a thematic and sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, financials and industrials with competitive advantages while targeting critical demand areas. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in international markets.

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. For purposes of these expense limitations, operating expenses do not include taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses, if any.

CALAMOS EVOLVING WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund returned 19.63% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 23.09% return for the MSCI Emerging Market Index.

Since its inception on August 15, 2008, the Fund has returned 7.71% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 5.40% return for the MSCI EM Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to access growth opportunities in emerging markets and deliver leading returns while pursuing our risk-managed investment approach over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance?

Emerging markets advanced over the semiannual period as investors welcomed the economic recovery globally, but also confronted mixed vaccine progress across countries, rising interest rates and spikes in market volatility.

Pursuant to our dynamic, risk-managed objective, the Fund captured most of the upside in emerging markets over the period while actively managing our exposure and widening the opportunity set. Many of our key holdings in companies with advantaged business models performed well, as did increased cyclical opportunities and companies positioned to benefit from COVID-recovery scenarios as the year progresses.

The Fund's security selection and an average overweight stance in materials, specifically construction materials and steel, helped buoy return. Favorable security selection and an average underweight allocation in consumer staples also contributed to performance. Our lack of participation in packaged foods & meats and personal products also proved beneficial.

Over the period, selection and an average underweight allocation within the financials sector weakened relative returns, as holdings in diversified banks and other diversified financial services lagged on a relative basis. Security selection and an average overweight allocation in real estate also underperformed, especially in the diversified real estate activities and real estate development industries.

From a regional standpoint, favorable security selection in Emerging Latin America added value to Fund performance—particularly our select holdings in Mexico and Panama represented major contributors. Additionally, the Fund benefitted from security selection in Europe where positions in the Netherlands and Germany were sources of strength.

In contrast, selection in Emerging Asia hindered relative results—as holdings in India and Korea trailed the index—and our lack of exposure in Saudi Arabia held back return. Moreover, security selection and an underweight allocation in EMEA weakened return, especially names in South Africa and Poland.

Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund

How is the Fund positioned?

We maintain a positive view of the investment opportunities in emerging markets, reflective of our expectation of improving global growth and progress against the pandemic in the coming months.

  In terms of positioning, we favor a blend of investments in secular growth businesses, in addition to cyclical opportunities and select reopening plays that we believe are well-positioned for a pickup in economic growth.

  From a sector perspective, the largest allocations are in the technology, consumer discretionary, financials, communication services and materials sectors. We favor companies in semiconductors, internet retail, interactive media & services, higher-quality diversified banks and steel. Specifically, we look for businesses that offer attractive business models, large addressable markets, and leverage to improving global growth.

  We have an underweight stance in more defensive areas including utilities, consumer staples and traditional telecoms.

  We hold increased weight in materials and energy, favoring opportunities with sound capital management and an ability to leverage improved supply-demand fundamentals.

  From a geographic perspective, we own significant weight in Emerging Asia, though we also hold select investments in Latin America, Emerging Europe and South Africa.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Emerging market investors must continue to navigate a range of crosscurrents through different regions and countries. We are analyzing the economic and policy backdrop, progress against the pandemic, and the prospects for corporate earnings. Monetary policy is accommodative as central banks support liquidity, while fiscal authorities are implementing a wide range of programs to boost economic activity. We see an increased set of opportunities in emerging markets, reflective of a pickup in activity in key markets, increasing global trade and abundant liquidity.

We own a blend of investments in secular growth companies, in addition to more cyclical opportunities leveraged to benefit from a pickup in the global economy. We favor investments in companies with advantaged business models, flexible balance sheets and the ability to compound growth over the medium to longer-term period. From a thematic and sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, communications services, consumer discretionary, higher-quality financials and industrials with competitive advantages that target in-demand areas. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in emerging markets.

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 GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Global Equity Fund returned 28.67% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the 29.39% gain for the MSCI World Index and 28.56% return of the MSCI ACWI Index for the same period. The Fund's return significantly outperformed its category peer average during the period, landing in the 18th percentile of the Morningstar World Large-Stock category.*

Since its inception on March 2, 2007, the Fund has returned 10.51% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 7.70% gain for the MSCI World Index and 7.45% return for the MSCI ACWI Index. We believe this compelling record 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 advanced in the semiannual period as investors responded to the global economic recovery and progress against the pandemic, but also confronted the impacts of rising interest rates and intermittent spikes in volatility. The Fund generated strong returns over the semiannual period due to a combination of favorable sector positioning and individual security selection. Many of our key Fund holdings in global companies with advantaged business models performed well, as did cyclical opportunities and companies positioned to benefit from Covid-19 reopening scenarios.

From a sector perspective, the Fund's leading security selection in information technology benefited relative results. Specifically, semiconductor equipment and data processing & outsourced services bolstered relative performance. Favorable security selection and an average underweight allocation in health care also added to performance. The main contributors within this sector were pharmaceuticals and health care equipment.

Over the period, security selection and an average overweight stance within the consumer discretionary sector hampered relative returns, as holdings in the internet & direct marketing retail and apparel, accessories & luxury goods industries lagged on a relative basis. Selection within the oil & gas refining & marketing and integrated oil & gas industries of the energy sector also trailed.

From a geographic standpoint, favorable security selection in the U.S. lifted results. Moreover, leading security selection in Emerging Latin America added value during the period. Specifically, Mexican selection and our lack of weight in Brazil benefited returns.

In contrast, security selection in Emerging Asia had a negative impact on the Fund's performance, as holdings in China and India trailed the index holdings. Additionally, relative security selection in Japan underperformed during the quarter.

*  Data is as of 4/30/21. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. Calamos Global Equity Fund Class I Shares were in the 12th, 35th, 27th and 50th percentiles of 343, 302, 252 and 166 funds for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar World Large-Stock category.

Calamos Global Equity Fund

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 holds a combination of secular growth companies and cyclical opportunities in more economically sensitive areas.

  Technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, financials and communication services comprise the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industries include semiconductors, diversified banks, internet retail, interactive media & services, systems software and industrial machinery.

  We have an underweight stance in more defensive areas including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms.

  We hold moderate weights in energy and materials, with investments in companies positioned to benefit from higher commodity prices and a pickup in global demand.

  Through a geographic lens, we own a set of secular growth businesses and increased cyclicals in the U.S., given the encouraging economic backdrop and wider set of opportunities.

  We own diversified holdings, with a blend of end markets and business types, in Europe. Positioning is largely in global secular demand areas and in cyclical opportunities leveraged to the recovery.

  We have a relatively even-weight position in Japan. Fiscal stimulus and monetary policies are extremely accommodative, and the economy is benefiting from rising exports.

  We own a range of holdings in emerging markets within high-demand areas such as interactive media & services, semiconductors, e-commerce and higher-quality financials.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Global stocks 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. Global monetary policy remains highly accommodative and fiscal authorities are implementing an array of programs to boost economic activity. We see many opportunities in global stocks, reflective of abundant liquidity, rising earnings, and progress in global vaccine deployment. Despite these potential tailwinds, we are mindful that markets will likely remain volatile, and we will continue to monitor potential risks.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor a blend of investments in secular growth areas in addition to increased opportunities with more cyclical characteristics that are well-positioned for a pickup in economic activity. We favor investments in companies with advantaged business models, healthy balance sheets, and the ability to compound growth over the medium to longer-term period. From a thematic and sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, financials, and industrials with competitive advantages that target critical demand areas. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in global markets.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/21, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.65%, Class C shares is 2.40%, Class I shares is 1.40% and Class R6 shares 1.34%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023 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. The Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 1.15% 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.

†  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 and returns for Class C shares have been adjusted for the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

NOTES:

The graph does 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.

CALAMOS GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

(formerly Calamos Global Growth and Income Fund)

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2021, Calamos Global Opportunities Fund returned 25.55% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 28.56% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 29.39% gain for the MSCI World Index.

Since its inception on September 10, 1996, the Fund has returned 8.35% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 7.16% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 7.44% increase for the MSCI World Index. We manage the Fund with the goal of achieving upside equity participation and potential downside mitigation over full market cycles. We believe these figures demonstrate the Fund's ability to generate attractive long-term returns while pursuing its risk-managed investment approach.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Global stocks and convertibles advanced in the semiannual period as investors responded to the global economic recovery and progress against the pandemic, but also confronted the impacts of rising interest rates and intermittent spikes in market volatility. Pursuant to our risk-managed equity objective, the Fund generated strong returns over the period while employing an active blend of common stocks, convertibles, and options. Many of our key Fund holdings in companies with advantaged business models performed well, as did increased cyclical opportunities and companies positioned to benefit from COVID-19-reopening scenarios.

The Fund's average underweight stance in consumer staples assisted relative performance as the sector lagged other areas during the period. Holdings in the packaged foods & meats industry helped relative performance, and our lack of participation in household products benefited return. Favorable security selection and an average underweight position in real estate also contributed to performance. Specifically, our investment in real estate services added value.

Over the period, security selection within the energy sector hindered return, as holdings in the oil & gas refining & marketing and oil & gas exploration & production industries curbed relative results. An average overweight allocation and relative selection in consumer discretionary detracted value, while our holdings generated positive absolute returns. Specifically, selection within the internet & direct marketing retail and apparel, accessories & luxury goods industries detracted from relative returns.

Favorable security selection and an overweight position in the United States added value. Moreover, leading security selection in Emerging Latin America also added value. Mexico was a leading contributor, and our lack of investment in Peru also benefited relative return.

In contrast, security selection in Emerging Asia lagged on a relative basis, as holdings in China and India curbed relative results. Additionally, security selection in Japan hampered relative returns.

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests primarily in global equity and convertible securities with an aim to balance risk/reward while providing growth and income.

KEY FEATURES

◼  Combines equity and convertible holdings in order to limit downside risk while potentially capturing upside equity participation.

◼  Provides a core holding option that strives to maintain a consistent risk posture throughout the market cycle.

◼  Seeks to participate in the upside movements of the global equity market while lessening the impact of down periods.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can provide a long-term core allocation to global equities with the potential for lower volatility over full market cycles.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund

CALAMOS TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2020, Calamos Total Return Bond Fund returned -0.94% (Class I shares at net asset value) finishing ahead of the -1.52% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Since its inception on June 27, 2007, the Fund gained 4.31% on an annualized basis (Class I share at net asset value) in line with the 4.29% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Several significant changes and developments occurred during the semiannual reporting period that helped propel risk markets to stronger valuations in both domestic equities and fixed income. As relates to COVID-19, the world made significantly quicker-than-expected progress developing, manufacturing and distributing vaccines to the general public. As of the end of April, over 100,000,000 Americans have been fully vaccinated, one of the quickest efforts in the world from the vantage of population percentage. To be clear, there have been challenges distributing and administering the vaccines domestically and abroad. Health care officials put a stop to administering the Johnson & Johnson shot for several days due to safety concerns. And when it comes to both vaccination progress and the recovery of economic fundamentals, other developed countries are lagging American progress by a quarter or two, while many emerging market countries are further behind.

Despite the challenges abroad, there is a high level of optimism related to the reopening of travel, leisure, restaurants and other service businesses that have been most severely impacted by the pandemic. Airlines are reporting, for instance, that domestic leisure flight bookings are strengthening quickly and approaching pre-pandemic levels. Cruise companies are planning for some form of reopening this summer. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index improved for the third-straight month in April, and expectations are for continued improvement heading into the summer months.

Of course, there were also significant political changes in the United States during the reporting period. Within weeks of the Fund's fiscal year close, voters elected President Biden. Shortly thereafter, in early January, Democrats swept the run-off elections for both Senatorial seats in Georgia, pulling them into a 50/50 tie with Republicans in the highest chamber of Congress. As Vice President Kamala Harris casts the tie-breaking vote, the Democrats have effective control of both houses of Congress, and the executive branch. One of the most prominent policy efforts of President Biden in the early months of his presidency has been to disburse more fiscal stimulus: passing a $1.9 trillion package and proposing an additional $2+ trillion package.

Additionally, the Fed has continued to provide a historically high level of monetary policy by holding its federal funds rate near zero for the entirety of last year, and by purchasing $80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month. Liquidity conditions in the investment-grade and high-yield

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 both current income and total return in excess of the benchmark over full market cycles.

KEY FEATURES

◼  Employs bond-by-bond portfolio construction with a focus on being well compensated for risks taken. We believe a disciplined process, grounded in fundamental research, enables us to achieve higher total returns with less volatility.

◼  Draws on a broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. The inclusion of high-yield bonds, bank loans and preferreds provides additional opportunities.

◼  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.

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

PORTFOLIO FIT

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

markets are very strong, and companies coming to market with new-issue securities are met with ample demand from investors.

Both investment-grade and high-yield credit spreads showed meaningful tightening during the reporting period. The option-adjusted spread on the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index tightened from 125 basis points to 88 basis points. In the high-yield market, option-adjusted spreads tightened impressively from 510 basis points to 292 basis points during the period. Each reflected a continuation of the strong tightening trend from the prior six months.

Treasury yields steepened sharply as concerns about impending inflationary pressure took shape in the market. Continued stimulus, pent-up demand from the stay-at-home measures in place during the pandemic, and the possibility that the Fed is too slow to remove accommodations are three of the more frequently cited concerns. While two-year yields were essentially flat, five-year yields increased by 46 basis points, with ten-year maturities increasing 75 basis points. Given the Treasury sell-off and spread tightening during the period, major sectors of the U.S. Aggregate market experienced varying performance. The securitized-products component of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index led with a -0.2% return; corporate bonds returned -0.5%; and the government-related sector dipped -0.8%, while the Treasury sector trailed at -3.4%.

The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the semiannual period. As a result, the overweight allocation to corporate bonds across financial, industrial, and utility-related sectors contributed to performance, as did security selection in both the financial and industrial sectors. The overweight allocation to the asset-backed security sector also supported performance, while the team's security selection in Treasuries and the underweight position to mortgage-backed securities weighed down performance. Over the long term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the Total Return Bond Fund, as the additional yield has shown historically to generate superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 6.0 years short to the 6.4 years option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 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 overweights led to a lower overall credit quality of A- when compared to the AA- quality of the benchmark. The weakness in Treasury rates coupled with the tightening of spreads in risk assets resulted in negative returns during the reporting period, behind peer group averages, but ahead of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund remains overweight in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and the weighting of corporate bonds was increased during the semiannual period, in both industrial and financial names. These additions were funded by decreasing the Fund's position in mortgage-backed securities and available cash. The Fund continues to hold overweight positions in corporate and asset-backed securities and underweight positions in Treasuries and mortgages following the changes. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations went toward the consumer non-cyclical and technology sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The United States is rapidly moving from a reopening phase to an open economy. If progress on the vaccination front continues at a good pace, our expectation is that the combination of increased economic activity in service-related sectors along with low-base effects from 2020 will drive inflation significantly higher for the next couple of quarters—though the long-term trend for inflation remains uncertain. We continue to fight unfavorable demographic trends, high-and-rising debt levels and the number of employed people in the country is well below its peak, each of which could mitigate a longer-term trend of high inflation.

Now that first quarter nominal GDP has reached roughly the output level of 2019, one question becomes whether 2022/2023 can be significantly better than 2019, when credit valuations were roughly equivalent to the current trading ranges. Financial conditions should remain accommodative, and the technical backdrop for both high-yield and investment-grade credit should remain supportive of spread markets as there has been ample demand to absorb supply.

Our base expectation for interest rates is that they will continue to move gradually higher leading to a steeper yield curve, which should be supportive of banks and finance companies. But rates will be highly dependent on the course of fiscal and monetary policy. If these policies moderate, yields should rise in a gentle manner. If the policies continue to grow, rates could surprise our expectations to the upside. As always, we continue to apply our disciplined approach—focused on being well compensated for the risks taken—while constructing our portfolio with a bond-by-bond philosophy.

Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund

CALAMOS HIGH INCOME
OPPORTUNITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2020, Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund returned 10.44% (Class I shares at net asset value) outperforming the 7.98% increase for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

Since its inception on March 1, 2002, the Fund gained 6.45% on an annualized basis (Class I share at net asset value) versus an 8.10% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Several significant changes and developments occurred during the semiannual reporting period that helped propel risk markets to stronger valuations in both domestic equities and fixed income. As relates to COVID-19, the world made significantly quicker-than-expected progress developing, manufacturing and distributing vaccines to the general public. As of the end of April, over 100,000,000 Americans have been fully vaccinated, one of the quickest efforts in the world from the vantage of population percentage. To be clear, there have been challenges distributing and administering the vaccines domestically and abroad. Health care officials put a stop to administering the Johnson & Johnson shot for several days due to safety concerns. And when it comes to both vaccination progress and the recovery of economic fundamentals, other developed countries are lagging American progress by a quarter or two, while many emerging market countries are further behind.

Despite the challenges abroad, there is a high level of optimism related to the reopening of travel, leisure, restaurants and other service businesses that have been most severely impacted by the pandemic. Airlines are reporting, for instance, that domestic leisure flight bookings are strengthening quickly and approaching pre-pandemic levels. Cruise companies are planning for some form of reopening this summer. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index improved for the third-straight month in April, and expectations are for continued improvement heading into the summer months.

Of course, there were also significant political changes in the United States during the reporting period. Within weeks of the Fund's fiscal year close, voters elected President Biden. Shortly thereafter, in early January, Democrats swept the run-off elections for both Senatorial seats in Georgia, pulling them into a 50/50 tie with Republicans in the highest chamber of Congress. As Vice President Kamala Harris casts the tie-breaking vote, the Democrats have effective control of both houses of Congress, and the executive branch. One of the most prominent policy efforts of President Biden in the early months of his presidency has been to disburse more fiscal stimulus: passing a $1.9 trillion package and proposing an additional $2+ trillion package.

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

◼  Employs bond-by-bond portfolio construction with a focus on being well compensated for risks taken. We believe a disciplined process, grounded in fundamental research, enables us to achieve higher total returns with less volatility.

◼  Draws on broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include bank loans and preferred securities provides additional opportunities.

◼  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 that reflects where a company is heading.

◼  Applies a macro overlay to capitalize on opportunities in 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 can complement investment-grade credit exposure, providing attractive income and total return potential for more risk-tolerant investors.

Additionally, the Fed has continued to provide a historically high level of monetary policy by holding its federal funds rate near zero for the entirety of last year, and by purchasing $80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month. Liquidity conditions in the high-yield and leveraged loan markets are very strong, and companies coming to market with new-issue securities are met with ample demand from investors. All these factors combined to deliver strong returns for both the equity and high-yield markets during the reporting period, with the latter returning 7.98% (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index). The index closed the semiannual period with option adjusted spreads at 292 basis points over like maturity Treasuries, down from 510 basis points at fiscal year-end. Excluding energy, the yield on the index closed at 4.0%.

As a risk-on tone dominated the semiannual period, lower-quality, below-investment-grade bonds rated CCC delivered returns of 15.0%, whereas BB-rated issuers delivered a gain of 6.2%. At the beginning of the semiannual period, the trailing 12-month default rate was 6.3%, much of which was driven by energy-related defaults in both exploration and production and oil field services. By the end of the reporting period, default rates had declined to 3.2%, a reduction of nearly 50%, closing in on the long-term average of 3.1%. We expect the overall default rate, and that of energy, to continue declining as commodity prices have recovered strongly. Regarding our credit-quality positioning, our selection among BB-rated bonds boosted performance, while security selection among our CCC-rated holdings weighed on performance.

From a sector perspective, the team's security selection with the energy and consumer non-cyclical sectors contributed to return. Conversely, our underweight allocation to the energy sector and overweight to the insurance sector detracted from performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is currently overweight the property and casualty insurance, pharmaceuticals and other REITs industries. The pharmaceutical overweight is a result of idiosyncratic opportunities in two companies. The property and casualty insurance overweight is related to favorable consolidation trends in the industry. Our largest underweights are in the consumer cyclical services, wireless and electric utility industries. The underweight to electric utilities is consistent from the beginning of the period, but further reductions to that allocation has made it one of our largest industry underweights.

From a credit-quality perspective, the Fund is positioned with a relative underweight in the BB category, and neutral B-rated and CCC-rated issuers. The balance of the BB-rated underweight is held in a barbell between investment-grade-rated companies and securities that do not carry a third-party rating. The Fund is positioned short (3.3 years) in comparison with the option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (3.8 years).

Over the semiannual period, the team has added to positions in the airlines, other REITs and media/entertainment industries. Also, we reduced the portfolio exposure to healthcare, finance companies and wireless credit. Health care and finance companies are less overweight than the beginning of the period, while airlines became a greater overweight with increased exposure.

How has the Fund performed?

For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2020, Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund returned 1.04% (Class I shares at net asset value) outperforming the 0.23% return of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index and 0.56% increase for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Index.

early months of his presidency has been to disburse more fiscal stimulus: passing a $1.9 trillion package and proposing an additional $2+ trillion package.

Additionally, the Fed has provided a historically high level of monetary policy by holding its federal funds rate near zero for the entirety of last year, and by purchasing $80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month. Liquidity conditions in the investment-grade and high-yield markets are very strong, and companies coming to market with new issue securities are met with ample demand from investors.

Both investment-grade and high-yield credit spreads showed meaningful tightening during the reporting period. At the period's open, the option adjusted spread on the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate 1-3 Year Index was 50 basis points before tightening to as low as 32 basis points before ending the period at 36 basis points over like maturity Treasuries.

Short-duration Treasury yields steepened with one-year maturities lower by 7 basis points, two-year maturities unchanged, and three-year maturities up 13 basis points. This largely represents changes in market expectations related to the timing of the Fed's liftoff from its current zero interest rate policy. Given the Treasury selloff and spread tightening during the period, major sectors of the short-duration market experienced slight differences in performance. The corporate component of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate 1-3 Year Index led with a 0.2% return, with the Treasury sector trailing at 0.1%, and the government-related sector delivering flat returns. The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the semiannual period. As a result, the overweight allocation to corporate bonds across industrial and financial sectors contributed to performance, while security selection in each of these sectors also supported performance. The out-of-benchmark allocation to the asset-backed security sector also boosted performance. The overweight position to supranationals was a detractor (-2 basis points), as was our security selection within the Treasury sector (-2 basis points). Over the long-term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the Short-Term Bond Fund, as the additional yield in short-duration securities has historically generated superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 1.9 years equal to the 1.9 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 with the AA quality of the benchmark. The muted returns in Treasury rates coupled with the tightening of spreads in risk assets led to positive returns during the reporting period. The Fund remains overweight corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and the weighting of corporate bonds was quite stable during the semiannual period. Within corporate bonds, our largest overweight allocations went toward the consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The United States is rapidly moving from a reopening phase to an open economy. If progress on the vaccination front continues at a good pace, our expectation is that the combination of increased economic activity in service-related sectors along with low-base effects from 2020 will drive inflation significantly higher for the next couple of quarters—though the long-term trend for inflation remains uncertain. We continue to fight unfavorable demographic trends, high-and-rising debt levels and the number of employed people in the country is well below its peak, each of which could mitigate a longer-term trend of high inflation.

Now that first quarter nominal GDP has reached roughly the output level of 2019, one question becomes whether 2022/2023 can be significantly better than 2019, when credit valuations were roughly equivalent to the current trading ranges. Financial conditions should remain accommodative, and the technical backdrop for both high-yield and investment-grade credit should remain supportive of spread markets as there has been ample demand to absorb supply.

Our base expectation for interest rates is that they will continue to move gradually higher leading to a steeper yield curve, which should be supportive of banks and finance companies. But rates will be highly dependent on the course of fiscal and monetary policy. If these policies moderate, yield should rise in a gentle manner. If the policies continue to grow, rates could surprise our expectations to the upside. As always, we continue to apply our disciplined approach—focused on being well compensated for the risks taken—while constructing our portfolios with a bond-by-bond philosophy.

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 3/1/21, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 0.68% and Class I shares is 0.42%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through 3/1/23 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 front-end 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 November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021. 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 November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021, 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 November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021, 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   (Unaudited)

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, Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Dividend Growth Fund, Select Fund, International Growth Fund , Evolving World Growth Fund, Global Equity Fund, Global Opportunities Fund (formerly, Global Growth and Income Fund), Total Return Bond Fund, High Income Opportunities Fund, and Short-Term Bond Fund, (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 Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The Trust currently offers Class A, Class C (except Timpani SMID Growth Fund and Short-Term Bond Fund), and Class I shares of each of the Funds. Class C shares are currently not offered for sale on Timpani Small Cap Growth 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:

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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

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 April 30, 2021. 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 and 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 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,

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
188


Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

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 Funds 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 2017 — 2020 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, 2016.

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.

Note 2 – Investment Adviser and Transactions With Affiliates Or Certain Other Parties

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 April 30, 2021, the total advisory fees waived pursuant to such agreement were $224,581 for the Market Neutral Income Fund and are included in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Expense reductions".

As of April 30, 2021, the Market Neutral Income Fund had holdings of $149.1 million in STBF. During the period from November 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021, the Market Neutral Income Fund earned $5.5 million in dividends.

The Funds reimburse Calamos Advisors for a portion of compensation paid to the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of the "Trustees' fees and officer compensation" expense on the Statements of Operations.

As of April 30, 2021, the Market Neutral Income Fund held 69.8% of the outstanding shares respectively of Short Term Bond Fund.

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.

Each Fund's obligation to make payments under the Plan is a general obligation of the Fund and is included in "Payable for deferred compensation to trustees" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at April 30, 2021.

Interfund Lending Program

The Funds 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 allowed 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 was limited in terms of duration and only remained 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). Effective April 30, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission terminated the relief provided in its March 23, 2020 conditional exemptive order. During the reporting period, no Fund participated in the InterFund Program or relied on the March 23, 2020 Order.

Joint Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2021, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a $50,000,000 Demand Discretionary Credit Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Credit Agreement"). Each Fund may borrow under the Credit Agreement to meet shareholder redemptions and for other lawful temporary purposes. Borrowing results in interest expense and other fees and expenses, which may increase a Fund's net expenses and reduce a Fund's return. In addition, borrowing by a Fund may create leverage by increasing a Fund's investment exposure. This will result in changes in a Fund's net asset value, either positive or negative, being greater than it would have been if the Fund had not borrowed. Administration, legal, and arrangement fees, if applicable, under the Credit Agreement are allocated among Funds based upon factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Fund, while fees on any amounts drawn by a Fund under the Credit Agreement are borne by that Fund. At April 30,2021, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Please see the supplement to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated May 3, 2021 for more information about the Credit Agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

The capital loss carryforwards utilized in the year ended October 31, 2020 in Market Neutral Income Fund, Evolving World Growth Fund, and Total Return Bond Fund are $214,387,918, $18,344,030, and $843,474, respectively.

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, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

As of April 30, 2021, 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 April 30, 2021, the Fund had outstanding purchased options and/or written options as listed on the Schedules of Investments.

As of April 30, 2021, the Funds had outstanding derivative contracts which are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows:

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 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.

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.

  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.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Funds' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Calamos investment companies since 2003.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Calamos Investment Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of each series (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), has established a liquidity risk management program to govern each Fund's approach to managing liquidity risk (the "Program"). The Program is overseen by the Liquidity Committee, a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust's investment adviser, Calamos Advisors LLC. The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved the designation of the Liquidity Committee to oversee the Program.

The Program's principal objectives include supporting the Funds' compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that each Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence each Fund's liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of each Fund's investments into groupings that reflect the Liquidity Committee's assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.

At a meeting of the Board held on December 15, 2020, the Trustees received an annual report from the Liquidity Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program. The Liquidity Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund's liquidity risk. The Liquidity Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. Among other things, the Board noted that the Funds are not required to have a highly liquid investment minimum based on their liquidity classifications. The Board further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for more information regarding the Funds' exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.
