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 20 mutual funds include equity, fixed income, convertible, alternative and sustainable equity funds. We offer US 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 US, 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 months ending April 30, 2022. In this report, you will find commentary from our portfolio management teams, a listing of portfolio holdings, financial statements and highlights, and detailed information about the performance and positioning of the Calamos Funds.

Before we explore the markets, economy, and funds at greater length, all of us at Calamos Investments thank you for your continued trust. There is no doubt the current market environment is challenging. In the newsfeeds, discouraging headlines—rising interest rates, oil prices, inflation, supply chain issues—have tended to overshadow more positive data, such as strong corporate earnings, improving employment data, and good consumer balance sheets.

In uncertain times, it is often easy to forget all the unprecedented hurdles that the economy has navigated. I began my investing career more than 50 years ago in the difficult financial markets of the 1970s, a time characterized by soaring inflation; rising interest rates; difficult conditions across asset classes; and geopolitical uncertainties, including the Cold War. Through the ensuing decades, I've seen there are long-term investment opportunities in all environments.

Although no interest rate, market or economic cycle is exactly like the last, we are confident in the long-term resilience of the global economy. More important, we are confident in our ability to turn market volatility into long-term opportunities for the shareholders of the Calamos Funds—through a variety of environments.

Market Review

During the semiannual period, surging volatility and sharp rotations roiled global financial markets. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a decidedly more hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, rising interest rates, and Covid-19 lockdowns in China exacerbated investors' longer-term anxieties about inflation, supply chains, commodity shortages, and interest rates. Oil prices soared, and the yield of the 10-year US Treasury spiked upward, as did mortgage rates.

Letter to Shareholders

Against this backdrop, few areas of the global capital markets remained unscathed, and stock, bond, and convertible security markets retreated.* As emotions ran high, even fundamentally strong companies experienced sharp sell-offs.

Outlook

These next months will continue to test the resolve of investors. We are prepared for persistent market volatility and saw-toothed market performance that may include some more sharp sell-offs. The current headline issues are each enough to cause powerful crosscurrents, and the markets must navigate them all. Moreover, as midterm elections in the US approach, we expect the uncertain US fiscal policy backdrop will add to market participants' already heightened apprehension. Against this backdrop, we are likely to see sentiment-driven market behavior, where strong companies with good potential will also face pressure.

We believe our active management provides a considerable advantage in a market environment driven by emotional decision-making and a short-term perspective. Although markets are generally efficient over the long term, they may be anything but efficient over the short term, which can create opportunities for experienced investors with long-term horizons.

Asset Allocation Considerations

Unfortunately, no one can predict the short-term twists and turns in the market. The best strategy is to maintain a long-term perspective and not give in to the temptation to try to time the market. With stock and bond markets likely to continue in a saw-toothed fashion, making significant short-term shifts in your asset allocation can be dangerous, particularly if your financial goals and risk tolerance haven't changed. Too often, when investors let emotion and short-term perspective drive decisions, they catch the downside and miss the upside.

Also, it's important to remember that investment performance is most effectively measured over years and the course of market, economic, and interest rate cycles. In periods like these, a lot can happen over the short term: days, weeks, or months. Many investments may even have episodes of short-term performance that are anomalous with long-term results. For these reasons, it's essential to assess results over extended periods. For example, the convertible securities market is one area that has demonstrated unusual performance over the short term. However, we believe the long-term case for convertibles remains intact and that our active management positions us well to turn volatility into opportunity.

Letter to Shareholders

I encourage you to revisit your investment portfolio to ensure it aligns with both your long-term goals and your risk tolerance. Be sure that your portfolio is well-diversified and seek out opportunities to learn how you can enhance that diversification to reflect your unique needs. Depending on your personal circumstances, this could include adding an alternative fund to potentially improve the overall risk/reward characteristics of your asset allocation. Alternatives can be used on either the equity or fixed income side of an asset allocation (e.g., Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund and Calamos Hedged Equity Fund are equity alternatives, and Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund is a fixed income alternative). Our alternative funds can employ a broader set of strategies to navigate markets or interest rates than traditional funds, and like all of our funds, they are managed with keen attention to adjusting to market risks and opportunities.

Given the crosscurrents of market volatility, inflation and rising interest rates, allocations to funds that invest in short-term bonds may be compelling. Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund invests in short-duration credits to pursue a high level of current income consistent with capital preservation. Through this approach, the fund may provide an attractive way to put cash to work with less exposure to interest rate risk than longer-term bonds.

Allocations to Calamos funds that invest in convertible securities may also prove advantageous. Convertibles are hybrid securities that offer unique opportunities versus stocks and bonds over the course of full market and interest rate cycles. I first began using convertible securities in the 1970s, and they offered what I viewed as a "best of both worlds" approach versus stocks and bonds, which I've seen through the decades since. This report includes commentary on an array of funds that use convertibles to pursue enhanced risk and reward, including Calamos Convertible Fund, Calamos Growth and Income Fund, and their global counterparts, Calamos Global Convertible Fund and Calamos Global Opportunities Fund.

Conclusion

With so many variables shaping the markets right now, staying focused on the long term is paramount. It wasn't that long ago that people thought the Covid-19 pandemic would change the way businesses operated and people interacted forever, and global markets overreacted to the downside. Markets sprang back in a similarly dramatic fashion as pandemic fears receded. Although it may be difficult for investors, it is not surprising that markets are now moderating from these heights.

In the midst of these sorts of short-term swings, we believe our teams' decades of experience in the markets and our active, risk-managed approaches will allow us to position the funds advantageously. In these fast-moving markets, our teams rely on discipline and a long-term perspective to manage downside risks and pursue opportunities across asset classes.

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 hedged equity—with the aim of monetizing volatility. The Fund also uses opportunistic strategies to augment the main strategies: SPAC arbitrage offers a source of cheap optionality, and merger arbitrage offers a high probability of positive returns over a longer time horizon.

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.

  Provide consistent absolute total return over varying market cycles.

In addition to offering an attractive historical risk/reward profile, the Fund may enhance long-term portfolio diversification potential, a vital benefit given recent bouts of elevated equity volatility.

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund returned -2.98% (Class I Shares at net asset value), strongly outperforming the -9.92% loss for the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index, while trailing the 0.06% return of the Bloomberg Short Treasury 1-3 Month Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The convertible and equity markets were challenged during the reporting period by Covid-19 variants, supply chain disruptions, the war in Ukraine, inflation, elevated oil prices and rising interest rates. Against this volatile backdrop, both stocks and bonds saw significant declines as represented by the S&P 500 Index (-9.65%) and Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index (-9.92%). The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund provided resiliency in an environment in which the only thing that seemed to increase were correlations. The realized volatility of the S&P 500 as measured by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) nearly doubled from 16.26 at the beginning of the period to 33.40 at the end.

Interest rates rose during the period as exemplified by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity increasing 127 basis points to 2.57%. In addition, global high yield corporate credit spreads widened 44 basis points to 423 basis points according to Bloomberg. These rising interest rates and widening credit spreads impeded the bond component of convertibles during the reporting period. Near-zero overnight interest rates through much of the period acted as a headwind to the carry on the cash received from short positions. This said, the recent 0.75% increase to the fed funds rate has turned our carry positive (our custodian rebates the fed funds rate less our roughly 35 basis points of borrowing costs on short holdings).

OVERVIEW

The Fund combines two complementary strategies with different responses to volatility: 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, breaking from traditional bond strategies.

  Employs an absolute-return strategy with historically lower beta versus 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 rising 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.

In this environment, the hedged equity strategy of the Fund was hurt by the S&P 500 market downturn given that the strategy's equity basket declined toward its put protection. While the elevated volatility in the market at times provided attractive option rebalancing opportunities and benefited from the higher level of implied volatility in the options market, these contributions weren't enough to overcome the magnitude of the decline during the reporting period.

The convertible arbitrage portion held up well and benefited from the periods of volatility over the past six months, providing opportunities to profit from convertible hedge rebalancing. New convertible issuance cooled during the period as the extreme volatility inhibited IPO activity across all asset classes. The $21.7 billion in new US Convertibles issuance was well off the near-record pace seen in 2020 and 2021.

The Fund's SPAC Arbitrage and Merger Arbitrage sleeves also held up well relative to the market declines.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had 51.9% in its hedged equity strategy and 48.1% in its arbitrage strategies. The arbitrage strategies included 37.2% in convertible arbitrage, 9.3% in SPAC arbitrage, and 1.6% in merger arbitrage.

The Fund's hedged equity strategy increased slightly from 50.2% to 51.9% and finished the quarter with a delta hedge in line with our traditional hedge. In addition to the outright long put allocation we maintain in the Fund, we continue to find opportunities to utilize spreads.

The allocation to convertible arbitrage was trimmed during the period (from 43.0% at the beginning of the period to 37.2%), and the assets were redeployed to take advantage of attractive opportunities in the SPAC Arbitrage strategy, which has a similar return and risk profile to convertible arbitrage.

The SPAC arbitrage sleeve increased from 5.6% to 9.3%, reflecting attractive opportunities to purchase SPACs below the value of the cash held in trust, which provided an attractive yield to expiration while also providing the potential for upside should any of the SPAC sponsors announce an acquisition. We're using SPAC arbitrage as a way to support the Fund's historically lower risk profile and steady returns. The strategy, in essence, is creating a cheap option with a risk/reward opportunity similar to convertible arbitrage.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The reporting period provided a proof point of the Fund's diversification benefit within an asset allocation. The period brought turbulent volatility and rising interest rates, and the Fund was able to outperform both the stock and bond markets.

Investors continue to be anxious about a myriad of headlines including geopolitical strife (Russia's invasion of Ukraine), persistent supply chain disruptions, high oil prices, rising interest rates, US Federal Reserve tapering, upcoming US midterm elections, and new Covid variants. These have all contributed to bouts of elevated

volatility. The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund seeks to provide a stable positive return with a low standard deviation by monetizing the volatility that markets generate.

Many of our clients have expressed concerns about recent high inflation and rising interest rates. We expect Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund will continue to provide especially compelling benefits as a fixed income alternative.

CALAMOS HEDGED EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Funds Strategic Approach and Role in a Portfolio

The Fund utilizes an actively managed equity and options strategy, which can be positioned as a solution to replace the broken 60/40 stock/bond allocation—as the Fund has outpaced stocks, bonds, and consequently the 60/40 blend this year.

Our active approach to options strategy management serves as a critical differentiator versus peers who use less actively managed options-based strategies. During the semiannual period ending April 30, 2022, the Fund sought to provide better upside/downside asymmetry than long-only equities while dampening volatility within its equity sleeve using an active option overlay strategy versus traditional fixed income. The Fund's time-tested approach proved highly responsive to the period's volatile market conditions.

How has the Fund performed?

"Expect the unexpected" was the mantra of the semiannual period with S&P volatility in backwardation, meaning front month VIX futures were more expensive than the later-dated futures. This type of backwardation signals the expectation of outsized intra-day moves, 3.5% – 6.0% for example, which is a real challenge for most of our peers that take a more mechanistic hands-off approach.

This market environment presented both a challenge and an opportunity for the Fund's investment team. On the one hand, the increased volatility allowed the team to actively reposition long puts, put spreads, and short calls on big intra-day moves down. On the other hand, the team took profits on long calls with significant intra-day moves up. This active approach generated better total and risk-adjusted returns in the volatile period.

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Hedged Equity Fund was down -6.59% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 500 Index -9.65% return and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index decrease of -9.47%. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund gained 5.84% (Class I shares at net asset value) on an annualized basis versus 12.08% for the S&P 500 Index and 1.47% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

During the semiannual period, the market repeatedly tested a low around the highly watched 4200 level of the S&P 500 Index.1 The market sold off with the start of the war in Ukraine in late February. The S&P 500 found a floor on March 8 when it closed at 4170. Following that bottom, stocks rallied, with the S&P 500 trading up to 4631 on March 29. Although we failed to challenge the all-time high found at the outset of 2022, this increase represented an 11% increase from bottom to top. During April, stocks again sold off, predominately due to fear of aggressive Federal Reserve tightening. Equities retested the S&P 4200 support level, closing at 4131 on April 29. That left the market at the time of writing below critical support, needing an immediate upside response to avoid a further breakdown.

Another factor that has begun to weigh on the market is contracting liquidity, posing a headwind for stocks and bonds. However, this contraction is coming on the heels of robust inflation, sparking a greater degree of hawkish Fed rhetoric. Markets have struggled as they price in very steep short-term interest rate expectations. Higher rate-increase expectations have also propelled bond yields

higher, inflicting additional pain on the 16-month bear market in bonds. The first two quarters of 2022 resulted in negative returns for both stocks and bonds, a rare double/double.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund midway through 2022 had less short call exposure (-40%) than we had in late 2021. The Fund has been positioned to the higher end of our guardrail long-put exposure of 60%. We took advantage of the volatility spikes in January and early March and hedged with attractive long-put spreads. To stay long leaning and keep the Fund's upside capture ratio close to 60% of the S&P 500 Index, the team used some of the excess premium budget to add upside long calls, with the notional short-call quantity less than 40%, thereby improving our upside participation potential. The current option implied volatility, and the equity market's volatility creates added challenges in capturing skew.* Option-implied volatility escalated considerably toward the end of the period, and we expect the VIX's actual volatility to stay at these escalated levels. With the VIX curve continuing to vacillate into backwardation, front-month futures higher than the back month, we should expect more extensive intra-day moves, 3% – 5% swings. Considering that equities continued to challenge the lows and realized volatility has been materially higher for a while (apart from some recent drops), we expect to stay on the lower end of our beta budget, which is 49 – 50.

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

We use rallies to replace some of our put hedges with long-put spreads, which appear more attractive. At the end of the period, the Fund's net long put representation was 60%, with an average strike of 4123. Our short-call positioning included a call write of -38%, with an average strike of 4558.

At the end of the reporting period and relative to the S&P 500 Index, our sector positioning was slightly overweight in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The portfolio slightly underweighted 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 a lighter weight to small and mid-capitalization ($1 to $25 billion).

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The team will continue to look to add upside exposure at nearby support if it is held at the current levels or closer to 3800 SPX if the current level does not hold. Longer-term, there is a solid case for adding exposure immediately, but momentum can take markets further than commonly thought in the short term. In order to have a higher conviction short term, we want to see that downside momentum broken.

Besides commodities, volatility has been the timeliest asset class over the last 12 months. This year has been particularly challenging as both stocks and bonds

Our disciplined approach of actively managing our hedged equity strategy2 has provided a solution to replace the broken 60/40 stock/bond allocation—outpacing stocks, bonds, and, consequently, the 60/40 blend this year.3 Indeed, longer-term, annualized returns over the last 36 months have almost equaled global equities with just a little over half the risk as measured by drawdown. As priced in an elevated Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), an elevated level of fear provides a good springboard for us to harvest that spiking price in volatility, driving better total and risk-adjusted returns.

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 six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund returned 0.00% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 500 Index -9.65% return and the MSCI World Index -11.11% return over the same period.

Since its inception on May 1, 2002, the Fund has returned 10.49% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) and, thus, markedly outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and MSCI World Indexes, which returned 9.09% and 8.05%, respectively, over the since inception period. As of April 30, 2022, the long/short portion of the portfolio had a delta-adjusted net long position of approximately 49%.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The Fund's outperformance relative to the global indices largely reflected the Fund's underweight exposure to the equity derivatives of long duration. The Fund concluded April with an average net equity delta-adjusted exposure of 50.4%, which compares to its average net equity exposure of 27% (on a cash basis)since inception in 2002.

The semiannual period was extraordinary by most standards, culminating in the sad conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While this geopolitical crisis has created widespread dissonance, it should be viewed as the second and lesser of the two shocks that have buffeted investors in 2022.

The more important shock has been the repricing of developed world debt led by the US Federal Reserve. This resulted in the most rapid rise of US debt yields since the bond market crash of 1994. Within six months, the Federal Reserve has

moved from "transient inflation" to "upside inflation risk," with fed funds futures now discounting a funds rate near 3% by March 2023. Having learned not to fight the Fed, investors fear rising recession risk, which has been visible in the relative performance of industries and styles.

Fund performance amid all of these developments was respectable in both absolute and relative terms, particularly in calendar Q1 2022. First, we have been wary of the equity derivatives of long duration for much of the past year. In December 2021, we further distanced the portfolio from long-duration growth and defensive areas. Examples here include the sale of Facebook and Salesforce as well as short strategies in names like Netflix and PayPal.

We added additional index hedges in January 2022 that cushioned our clients from the initial stages of the market retreat, with the result that both the long and short books have been additive to performance. The re-orientation of the Federal Reserve, which became apparent with the release of the December FOMC minutes, was the signal that we should no longer lean aggressively into equity risk.

What helped and hurt performance over the semiannual period?

The Fund's largest contributors were long investments in the energy and materials sectors, while long positions in financials, industrials and information technology hindered performance. Notable contributors during the period included a short position/hedge on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST -48.41%* and long positions in Canadian Natural Resources 1.69% average weight over period (energy) and Baker Hughes 1.85%* (energy). Detractors included long positions in Twilio Inc. 2.06%* (information technology), Boeing Company 2.97%* (industrials) and Caesars Entertainment Inc. 2.52%* (consumer discretionary).

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

Net equity exposure (delta-adjusted) concluded the semiannual period at 48.7% versus 57.2% at the start of the period. This compares with the average net equity exposure of 27% (cash basis) since inception in 2002. The Fund leaned modestly into equity risk through April as markets became unsettled by higher interest rates and the outbreak of war in Ukraine.

One key conviction has been our cautious view on duration and its equity derivatives. This translates into the bias toward shorter duration, more profitable businesses versus those with less support from earnings, cash flow and tangible assets or book value. We have been wary of stocks where the bulk of their value depends on assumptions about growth in the far future. This sheltered the Fund from some of the most egregious stock disappointments of the period.

Equally important has been our preference for services over goods as the world emerges from the pandemic. This implies a robust recovery in travel and entertainment along with a return to the office. Both producers and retailers of goods will struggle in real terms (volume rather than price) well into 2023. We think the pandemic pulled forward years of demand across varied industries and this will take time to digest.

The Fund favors names perceived as more cyclical with recovery potential in the coming year. The broadest exposures for the long book are industrials and transports followed by financials.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

Our bias within industrials remains focused upon commercial aerospace, airlines and other transports, and defense names. The recent recovery in leisure air travel should be followed by a slower-but-sustained increase in corporate and international travel later this year and into next. Airlines are restrained for capacity expansion due to shortages of labor and planes; the pricing environment should remain firm for the foreseeable future. We prefer higher quality over both low-cost carriers and those with heavy debt loads heading into a higher-rate environment.

We like the railroads as US-centric beneficiaries of supply chain normalization. Their business models are levered to higher inflation and a tight commodity environment, yet with limited exposure to cost pressures from labor or energy prices.

Thematically, the long portfolio remains focused on companies that benefit from higher long and short rates; companies with sufficient pricing power to pass along higher input costs to customers; companies with reasonably valued and sustainable growth; and companies set to benefit from the reopening trade such as pent-up demand among consumers for travel and recreation outside the home.

Energy was the largest contributor to performance in the long book. Although we don't anticipate further upside to crude prices in 2022, we expect high prices to be sustained, allowing producers to generate healthy cash flows given years of underinvestment. While we reduced our exposure to energy after the Putin shock, the long-term drivers supporting the industry remain firmly in place. Producers are maintaining a disciplined approach to capital spending, while oil field services bottlenecks, cost inflation and ESG considerations are limiting the ability to respond to higher prices. Global upstream spending has been on the decline since 2014, leading to a halving of resource life since the 2014 peak. This will take several years to reverse.

Technology has been a minefield of stock disasters as investors debate both fundamental risks and the prices at which these businesses should be valued. Many were "stay at home" beneficiaries in 2020, and as the world recovers from Covid, the piper is being paid. The Fund benefitted through its underweight across a range of tech-related industries in the quarter.

The Fund is underweight the non-US economies. Within its US holdings, the Fund maintains a bias toward those with a higher percentage of domestic revenue. We are still cautious on China where lockdowns under its zero-Covid policy are disrupting economic activity and sowing unrest. Chinese economic growth was already at risk from its real estate bubble and shifts in global supply chains.

In sum, the themes across the portfolio have changed little since late 2021, with renewed emphasis upon businesses that can navigate margin pressures amid "slowing but not slow" growth. The key question: "How much will mid-cycle earnings leverage help businesses deal with cost pressures?"

What is your macro perspective heading into the second half of 2022?

It is our belief that the journey from inflation anxiety to inevitable recession will be prolonged and include many notable stages. Our assumption is that 2022 will be characterized by a broad trading range for the major US equity benchmarks rather than an outright bear market. Our positioning has therefore been tactical rather than outright defensive. It is premature for end-of-cycle positioning.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

The developed world economies will slow persistently into 2023, yet not as quickly as generally feared. It is still far too early for recession talk. How this slowdown is felt across various industries as shifts in spending emerge in a post-Covid world will be the primary determinant of performance outcomes.

While the war in Europe has created widespread dissonance, it should be viewed as the second and lesser of the two shocks that have buffeted investors in 2022. The more important shock has been the repricing of developed world debt led by the US Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve recognizes the dilemma that a weakened economy will not resolve the underlying disorder. Yet Chairman Powell must talk tough to avoid losing control of the bond market. Equally, the Fed must distance itself from being "zero bound" to rates to avoid the appearance of negligence. The Fed fears that its excessive expansionary policies of recent years could be judged as irresponsible.

Once short rates are north of 2% by autumn, the Fed will have the flexibility to retreat to a "wait and see" policy aka "the wishful soft landing" approach, which amounts to tolerating higher inflation over the medium term. At that point, we suspect the Fed will find reasons to suspend its anti-inflationary commitment, especially if financial stress becomes apparent.

The good news is that the underpinnings of this economic cycle are stronger than most realize. In our view, 2% to 3% short rates will not trigger end of cycle risk. Demand momentum leading up to the Putin shock was extraordinary as consumer behavior in the US and Europe began to normalize post Covid. Much of the Emerging world including Asia outside China will join this rebound through the second half.

Some have focused upon the momentary inversion of the 10-year to 2-year US Treasury yield curve as a recession forecast, but this fear is misplaced. The logic of long versus short rates implies the 10-year to 3-month, or the 2-year to 3-month yield curves are the relevant signals. Both point to continued expansion. The recession countdown does not begin until 3-month money is more expensive than 10-year money, which is unlikely until mid-2023.

Recession risk will be material in 2024 or 2025. This is partly due to the lagged impact of less monetary largesse and also because the corporate sector is losing two key ingredients of the wishful soft landing: a low cost of capital and low input prices.

Rising equity volatility in 2022 cannot be traced to the underlying fundamentals of economic growth or corporate profits. Instead, it relates to the growing role of inflation in activity, the heightened uncertainty that inflation poses for capital allocation, and the inevitability that financial assets must be priced differently.

Fortuitously, inflation in goods prices should ease for the remainder of 2022. This reflects the inevitable easing of supply constraints in a post-Covid world as the "stay at home" bubble keeps popping in areas like streaming services, used car prices and personal computers. Gasoline prices and freight prices appear to be peaking. Housing prices will ease as the spike in mortgage rates impacts borrowing and forces layoffs at mortgage finance companies.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The bear market in the equity derivatives of long duration actually began about one year ago. We view this phase as largely complete. Markets should soon enter a phase of consolidation that implies ongoing equity volatility, but not an outright bear market. The latter will emerge later in 2023 when reflationary pressures give way to deflation in economic output and profits.

This transition to consolidation will be signaled by the climax of energy and commodity prices, marking a plateau in the rise of long-term inflation expectations in bond markets. An attempted rally to new highs will be sustained when the Federal Reserve has moved short-term rates above the 2% level, probably by early autumn. Debt markets confirm our conclusion that US recession risk is not acute.

At the start of 2022, we outlined a trading range for the S&P 500 Index of 4200 to 5000. That range is probably still intact, in our view. We do not believe the lows of late March will be materially (>5%) pierced (4000 to 4200). Earnings have been resilient, though the next few weeks will be telling. The 2022 earnings estimates are higher today than on March 31 across every US benchmark led by energy, materials and consumer discretionary.

The core of this outlook is our view that profit growth is sustainable, levels of credit stress stay low and it still makes sense to own equites rather than bonds. The absence of alternatives will encourage many to buy the dips. The year ahead may be characterized by an uncomfortable volatility, yet a sort of "going nowhere" rather than a new bear market. The silver lining is that Main Street could do relatively well.

The debate is whether these healthy fundamentals have been largely incorporated in prices, leading to a multi-year period of low returns. The loss of quasi-price stability of the last quarter-century should restore a genuine term premium in developed bond markets, which feeds the pricing of all financial assets including equities.

We think our risk-adjusted approach in this new era of financial history is ideally suited for our clients' objectives. This transition to a quite different setting will be prolonged and include many different stages. In the wake of excessively low interest rates for too long, this new era will seem synonymous with instability.

CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Convertible Fund had a returned -15.44% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0) return of -15.19%. For the same period, the S&P 500 Index returned -9.65%.

Since Class I shares inception on June 25, 1997, the Fund returned 8.32% on an annualized basis in line with an annualized gain of 8.40% for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index and an 8.40% annualized return for the S&P 500 Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The convertible and equity markets were challenged during the reporting period by Covid-19 variants, supply chain disruptions, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, surging inflation, elevated oil prices and rising interest rates. Against this volatile backdrop, the US Convertible market represented by the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index declined -15.19% and lagged behind the S&P 500 Index (-9.65%).

The convertible market is well represented by small and mid-sized growth issuers, and the semiannual period was especially challenging for these companies as evidenced by the -25.96% decline of the Russell 2500 Growth Index. As the underlying stocks of the convertible market declined -28.18%, convertibles provided downside mitigation by participating in only 54% of the drawdown of their underlying stocks. The equity market decline also meant that convertibles moved closer to their bond floor. With more than half of the convertible market priced below par at the end of April, convertibles held up better during the month of April; the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index declined -7.10%, while the S&P 500 Index declined -8.72%.

From an economic sector perspective, the Fund benefited from its underweight and selection in the real estate sector as well as its favorable selection in the materials sector. In real estate, the Fund's names in the real estate services industry held up better than index holdings. In materials, the Fund's heavier position in the relatively strong performing diversified metals & mining industry added value. Conversely, the Fund's underweight in utilities and detrimental selection in the health care sector detracted from the period result. In health care, the Fund's holdings in the life sciences tools & services and health care technology industries lagged.

With the heightened market volatility, our preference has been convertibles with balanced risk/reward attributes, while maintaining an underweight to the most equity-sensitive convertibles, which generally lack favorable downside resilience. This equity-sensitive underweight position was supportive to the period return, as these issues underperformed the rest of the convertible market (-18.6% as measured by the ICE BofA Equity Alternative US Convertibles Index).

How is the Fund positioned?

We continue to emphasize the Fund's risk/reward trade-off and favor the balanced portion of the convertible market where the structural asymmetric profile offers

more potential upside participation than downside. We are underweight and selective within the most equity-sensitive portion of the market where convertible structures lack material downside risk mitigation. Given recent market volatility, the portion of the convertible market with lower equity sensitivity has increased. We are seeing some attractive opportunities within this segment to invest in potential market-leading companies without taking on full equity downside risk.

On a sector basis, technology represents the largest overall allocation in the Fund, given the sector's innovative companies and attractive risk-managed convertible structures. The largest relative overweight is consumer discretionary where we believe the strength of consumer demand for services will drive returns. The largest underweight is the financials sector where the convertible structures largely reflect elevated exposure to rising interest rate risk.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The equity and credit markets have been knocked about by the turbulence of rising inflation and interest rates as well as intense geopolitical risks. Convertibles have not been immune to this increase in volatility, which also subdued the pace of new convertible issuance. While we have anticipated a deceleration in the annual volume of new convertibles after back-to-back years of near-record amounts, issuance thus far in 2022 has slowed to a crawl because of the heightened global uncertainty. However, we continue to expect that an eventual calming in the overall markets should return volumes back to a more traditional seasonal pace for the balance of the year. Despite the recent issuance slowdown, the strong issuance from 2020 and 2021 expanded the market and pushed back the maturity wall in the existing convertible market, which provides attractive opportunities in our view.

While macro risks have increased and the markets continue to adjust to a tightening monetary policy, history has shown that periods of short-term volatility can lead to longer-term opportunities. The recent pullback in the underlying stocks of convertible issuers has resulted in the equity sensitivity of the overall convertible market migrating toward the lower end of the post Covid-era range. Convertibles have also moved closer to their bond values as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the convertible market traded below par at the end of April. As we have seen over prior market cycles, actively managing the changing dynamics of convertibles through volatile times is a decided advantage we can offer to mitigate equity declines while still retaining upside equity optionality.

CALAMOS GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Global Convertible Fund returned -16.78% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index return of -16.33%.

Since Class I shares inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund returned 6.30% on an annualized basis in line with an annualized gain of 5.87% for the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The global convertible and equity markets were challenged during the reporting period by Covid-19 variants, supply chain disruptions, the war in Ukraine, inflation, elevated oil prices and rising interest rates. Against this volatile backdrop, the global convertible market, represented by the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, declined -16.33% and lagged behind the MSCI World Index (-11.11%).

Small and mid cap growth issuers are well represented in the global convertible market, and the reporting period was especially challenging for convertibles issued by these smaller companies. The underlying stocks of the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index were down -27.43% on average and resembled the return of the Russell Midcap Growth Index (-25.96%). Despite underperforming the MSCI World Index, convertibles demonstrated their ability to mitigate downside risk by participating in only 63% of their underlying stocks' drawdown. As the equity market moved lower, convertibles moved closer to their bond floor and their downside resilience further improved. At the end of April, more than half of the global convertible market was priced below par. In the month of April, as the MSCI World Index declined -8.27%, the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index declined -6.57%.

Interest rates rose during the period as witnessed by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity increasing 127 basis points to 2.57%. Additionally, global high yield corporate credit spreads widened 44 basis points to 423 basis points according to Bloomberg. Rising interest rates and widening credit spreads impeded the bond component of convertibles during the reporting period.

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund especially benefited from security selection in the consumer discretionary sector where holdings in the internet & direct marketing retail and hotels, resorts & cruise lines industries held up better than their index peers. Favorable security selection in the communication services sector also added value, as holdings in the interactive media & services industry outperformed. Areas that detracted the most from performance included materials and information technology. Within materials, an underweight allocation and security selection, notably in the specialty chemical industry, held back the relative return. In information technology, the relative return was hindered by security selection within the systems software, application software and data processing & outsourced services industries.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefitted from favorable selection in Emerging Europe & South Africa and Emerging Latin America, whereas security selection within Europe and Japan held back the relative result.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund

How is the Fund positioned?

With the uncertainty regarding both the Fed's success in engineering a soft landing and the outcome of the war in Ukraine, we have focused on maintaining an attractive risk/reward profile in the portfolio. As the equity market pulled back over the reporting period, the global convertible market saw a larger portion of convertibles trading closer to their bond floor. Because we have increased our allocation to balanced convertibles offering more attractive risk/reward characteristics, the Fund remains slightly more defensive than the convertible market from an equity-sensitivity perspective.

From a sector perspective, information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services comprise the largest allocations on an absolute basis, whereas energy, materials and consumer staples constitute the lightest absolute exposures. On a relative-to-benchmark basis, the largest overweight positions reside in information technology, real estate, and communication services. Conversely, industrials, materials and utilities make up the largest relative underweights.

From a regional perspective on an absolute basis, the portfolio has its heaviest allocations in the United States and Europe and lightest allocations in Canada and Emerging Europe and South Africa. On a relative basis, the portfolio holds overweight positions in Emerging Europe & South Africa, Emerging Asia and Japan. The portfolio is relatively underweight to Europe. In the past, the underweight to Europe was mainly driven by bottom-up convertible opportunities. However, the war in Ukraine along with inflation and a possible recession in Europe have added macro considerations to this underweight positioning.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

Rising inflation, war in Europe, and perceptions of the Fed being behind the curve made for a difficult reporting period. While we hope for a quick resolution to the war, deciphering what will happen with the Fed may take more time. We are skeptical that the Fed will need to raise rates past 1.0% – 1.5% to slow an economy that appears to have been slowing on its own—even before the spike in energy costs that is expected to brake the economy further. While we do not expect the Fed to overcorrect and trigger a recession in the US, we remain vigilant for signs of a policy error.

After two years of near records, global convertible issuance is off to a slow start in 2022 with $8.6 billion in new convertibles brought to market. This slowing of issuance tends to happen in times of a market dislocation, and the ambivalence wrought by the Fed's moves and the war in eastern Europe has made for a difficult environment for companies trying to raise equity and equity-linked capital. We expect that the primary market will reopen and, once it does, we expect to see a burst of new convertibles issued as has occurred during past similar periods.

We believe that convertibles provide an attractive way for an investor to take some risk off the table while staying invested in the equity market. The recent pullback in the underlying stocks of convertible issuers has resulted in the overall convertible market's equity sensitivity migrating toward the lower end of the post-Covid-era range. Convertibles have also moved closer to their bond values as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the convertible market traded below par at the end of April. While we view convertibles to be strategic allocations that should be held over full market, economic and interest rate cycles, the pullback and volatility in the market because of rising rates may provide tactical opportunities

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund posted a return of -35.32% (Class I Shares at net asset value) while the Russell 2000 Growth Index dropped -26.77%.

Since Class I shares inception on March 23, 2011, the Fund has returned 11.54% on an annualized basis, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 8.84% over the same period. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance its benchmark over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes and a reduction of its balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 Index during Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022. Looking ahead, however, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices and the like. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Small cap growth stocks, which had enjoyed a strong recovery from their post-Covid lows, began to trend largely sideways through much of calendar year 2021, but then sustained a noticeable sell-off in November 2021 as this reporting period began. The market took a much more cautious stance on growth stocks within the small cap space as concerns around tightening financial conditions came to the fore. Valuations on small cap stocks dropped, even with strong earnings and revenues in the space, as investors acted on their worries.

Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 Value Index decreasing -9.50%, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index declined -26.77%. Investors were clearly more sensitive to valuations and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows in March 2020 through late 2021. During the semiannual period, the Russell 2000 Growth Index was led by sectors that would not be considered exceptionally growthy such as energy (+15.0%)—the only sector with positive performance—then consumer staples (-9.6%), materials (-12.0%), industrials (-17.7%), real estate (-19.2%) and utilities (-21.4%). Rounding out the sectors within the index were consumer discretionary (-26.7%), financials (-27.1%), information technology (-27.4%), communication services (-35.4%) and health care (-38.3%).

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in the equity securities of small capitalization 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

  Analyzes secular trends to uncover exploitable investments specific to small cap companies.

PORTFOLIO FIT

Investing in small cap companies is an important component of a diversified investment strategy. Smaller companies tend to experience greater growth and outperform larger companies.

The Fund's performance was positively affected by sector allocation decisions. The portfolio started the period with an overweight to the energy sector and further increased it over the course of the six months. As energy was the top-performing sector for the period, the overweight was strongly positive. Our view that the long period of underinvestment in energy businesses could create strong demand for equipment & services companies as well as drillers paid off. The portfolio's underweight to the lackluster health care sector was also additive to relative performance.

Security selection was a significant detractor from relative performance for the period. Market sentiment toward high growth businesses changed dramatically over the semiannual reporting period. Companies that had previously seen strong relative outperformance largely due to robust growth were punished significantly during this period. Often these businesses were able to deliver strong earnings and revenues during their quarterly announcements over the course of the period, but the market grew skeptical about the prospects for higher growth businesses going forward. Security selection within information technology, health care and industrials detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, though selection within financials was strongly additive. The market assigned a massive and negative re-rating to growth businesses across equity markets but especially beat down the small cap growth space. Broadly speaking, small cap growth companies that delivered strong quarterly earnings announcements saw their stock prices tumble, and those that did not deliver or gave cautious outlooks were discounted even more.

How is the Fund positioned?

We have been active in our efforts to manage risks during this time of heightened concerns about inflation and growth rates. Over the course of the reporting period, the Fund has sought to reduce investments in names with loftier valuations and greater variability of earnings. That said, the Fund continues to own a diversified portfolio of small cap growth businesses that we believe offer the best fundamental momentum available. Within information technology, for example, the Fund has reduced investment in more cyclically oriented areas, such as semiconductors, and has increased allocations to more reasonably priced productivity enhancers such as software. The Fund's increased investment in energy and reduction in industrials represented the most significant changes from a sector-weight standpoint. As mentioned previously, the energy sector had long been ignored, and we were able to uncover businesses where market expectations were too low in our view. In the industrials sector, we eliminated positions in areas where pricing was extreme because of the run-up during the post-Covid recovery; trucking comes to mind. We also reduced names that we continue to favor, though their valuations appear a bit rich.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

While market pullbacks and corrections are a normal course of events this most recent sell-off at the market level and the targeting of small cap growth names particularly has been sharp and sudden. Clearly market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's ability to slow down the economy in an effort to contain inflation. It's also important to remember that interest rate hikes have a delayed effect on the overall economy, and we believe the Fed may be able to be more cautious than what the market is currently pricing in terms of the tightening of financial conditions. We have already seen indications of slowing inflation data that gives us reason for optimism. As the broad market wrestles

with the question of corrections versus bear markets, small cap stocks have already seen their bear market. This could be helpful going forward as small cap stocks and more so small cap growth stocks have already seen a more significant re-rating of the valuations that the market is willing to pay for future growth.

Overall, corporate balance sheets and personal balance sheets are still quite healthy. Nominal levels of economic activity have been strong, indicating the overall health of the economy ex-inflation. Interest rate hikes increase the cost of capital, but in many cases corporations and individuals have locked in borrowing costs and should be less affected by these moves. Labor markets are strong, which is also a positive sign for the economy. That said, there are certainly parts of the economy that are more interest rate sensitive such as housing, and there are corporations that will need to access capital markets for funding, which we need to keep an eye on. The list of market worries is still quite long with concerns around interest rates, inflation, war in Ukraine, Covid variants, supply chains, and commodity prices as mentioned previously. But it's also important to keep a long-term perspective and investigate short-term opportunities created by market dislocations. As the economy slows from rampant growth to more traditional or low, albeit positive growth, businesses that can demonstrate the ability to grow should return to favor. If market valuations remain under pressure due to investor caution, earnings should then be the significant contributor to returns.

NOTES:

Effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") through a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund, Class Y shareholders of the Predecessor Fund received Class A shares of the Fund, and Service Class and Institutional Class shareholders of the Predecessor Fund each received Class I shares of the Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund. Accordingly, the performance shown in the average annual total return table above for periods prior to the commencement of the Fund's operations on June 1, 2019 is the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund has the same investment objective, strategy and portfolio manager as the Predecessor Fund. As a result, the performance of the Fund would have been substantially similar to that of the Predecessor Fund.

The graphs do not reflect the income taxes that you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Fund performance includes reinvestment of dividends and adjustment for the maximum sales charge for Class A shares. The performance of other classes will vary from the performance of the class shown based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders investing in different share classes.

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

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

  Combines fundamental research with the analysis of estimate revisions 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 small and mid cap companies is an important component of a diversified investment strategy. Small and midsize companies tend to have a greater chance of growing rapidly and outperforming large cap companies, yet this greater potential also raises the probability of greater volatility—which is why we believe active management is crucial.

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMID GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund returned -33.87% (Class I Shares at net asset value), while the Russell 2500 Growth Index delivered a -25.96% return.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes and a reduction of its balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 Index for Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022. Looking ahead, however, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices and the like. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Small-to-mid cap growth stocks, which had enjoyed a strong recovery from their post-Covid lows, began to trend largely sideways through much of calendar year 2021, but then sustained a noticeable sell-off in November 2021 as this reporting period began. The market took a much more cautious stance on growth stocks within the small cap space as concerns around tightening financial conditions came to the fore. Valuations on small cap stocks dropped, even with strong earnings and revenues in the space as investors acted on their worries.

Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the Russell 2500 Value Index decreasing -6.76%, while the Russell 2500 Growth Index declined -25.96%. Investors were clearly more sensitive to valuations and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows in March 2020 through late 2021. During the semiannual period, the Russell 2500 Growth Index was led by sectors that would not be considered exceptionally growthy such as energy (+16.3%)—the only sector with positive performance. Materials (-12.0%), real estate (-11.6%), utilities (-14.9%) and consumer staples (-16.0%) also led. Rounding out the sectors within the growth index were industrials (-21.0%), financials (-24.6%), information technology (-25.5%), consumer discretionary (-25.8%), communication services (-35.1%) and health care (-37.6%).

The Fund's performance was positively affected by sector allocation decisions. The portfolio started the period with an overweight to the energy sector and further increased it over the course of the six months. As energy was the top-performing sector for the period, the overweight was strongly positive. Our view that the long period of underinvestment in energy businesses could create strong demand for equipment & services companies as well as drillers paid off. The portfolio's underweight to the lackluster health care sector was also additive to relative performance.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund

Security selection was a significant detractor from relative performance for the period. Market sentiment toward high growth businesses changed dramatically over the semiannual reporting period. Companies that had previously seen strong relative outperformance largely due to robust growth were punished significantly during this period. Often, these businesses were able to deliver strong earnings and/or revenues during their quarterly announcements over the course of the period, but the market grew skeptical about the prospects for higher growth businesses going forward. Security selection within information technology, industrials and health care detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2500 Growth Index, though selection within financials was strongly additive. The market assigned a massive and negative re-rating to growth businesses across equity markets but especially beat down the small-to-mid cap growth space. Broadly speaking, smaller cap growth companies that delivered strong quarterly earnings announcements saw their stock prices tumble, and those that did not deliver or gave cautious outlooks were discounted even more.

How is the Fund positioned?

We have been active in our efforts to manage risks during this time of heightened concerns about inflation and growth rates. Over the course of the reporting period, the Fund has sought to reduce investments in names with loftier valuations and greater variability of earnings. That said, the Fund continues to own a diversified portfolio of small cap growth businesses that we believe offer the best fundamental momentum available. Within information technology, for example, the Fund has reduced investment in more cyclically oriented areas, such as semiconductors, and has increased allocations to more reasonably priced productivity enhancers such as software. The Fund's increased investment in the energy sector and reduction among industrials represented the most significant changes from a sector weight standpoint. As mentioned previously, the energy sector had long been ignored and we were able to uncover businesses where market expectations were too low in our view. In the industrials sector we eliminated positions in areas where pricing was extreme because of the run-up during the post-Covid recovery; trucking comes to mind. We also reduced names that we continue to favor, though their valuations appear a bit rich.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

While market pullbacks and corrections are a normal course of events, this most recent sell-off at the market level and the targeting of small cap growth names particularly has been sharp and sudden. Clearly market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's ability to slow down the economy in an effort to contain inflation. It's also important to remember that interest rate hikes have a delayed effect on the overall economy, and we believe the Fed may be able to be more cautious than what the market is currently pricing in terms of the tightening of financial conditions. We have already seen indications of slowing inflation data that gives us reason for optimism. As the broad market wrestles with the question of corrections versus bear markets, smaller cap stocks have already seen their bear market. This could be helpful going forward as small-to-mid cap stocks and more so small-to-mid cap growth stocks have already seen a more significant re-rating of the valuations that the market is willing to pay for future growth.

Overall, corporate balance sheets and personal balance sheets are still quite healthy. Nominal levels of economic activity have been strong, validating the overall health of the economy ex-inflation.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Growth Fund returned -22.02% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 1500 Growth Index return of -16.74%. By way of comparison, the broad equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, also declined with a return of -9.65% for the same period.

Since Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 11.09% on an annualized basis. The S&P 1500 Growth Index, the primary benchmark, returned 8.78% over the same period, and the S&P 500 Index returned 8.17%. 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 semiannual period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plans to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes and a reduction of the Fed's balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 for Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022 as well. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices and the like. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the S&P 1500 Value Index decreasing only -1.94%, while the S&P 1500 Growth Index declined -16.74%. Investors were clearly more sensitive to valuation and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows of March 2020 through late 2021. The S&P 1500 Growth Index was led by sectors that would not be considered exceptionally growthy such as energy (+24.8%), consumer staples (+3.2%), materials (+0.2%), real estate (-2.2%), and utilities (-4.6%). Rounding out the sectors within the growth index were healthcare (-13.1%), industrials (-14.0%), information technology (-14.0%), financials (-18.7%), consumer discretionary (-22.8%) and communication services (-32.4%).

The Fund's sector allocation had a largely neutral impact on relative performance. An overweight to the industrials sector was additive, yet an underweight to the relatively small real estate sector was significantly detrimental as real estate names strongly outperformed the growth index. Individual issue selection was a relative drag on performance, as companies with higher growth estimates came more into doubt amongst the investment community. Within information technology, holdings in technology hardware, storage & peripherals as well as Internet services & infrastructure lagged during the period. Communication services names

Calamos Growth Fund

also trailed those of the market in areas such as interactive media and movies & entertainment. On a positive note, selection within financials and consumer discretionary were additive to relative performance during the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

While a decidedly more defensive tone has permeated the market recently, US equity markets have been highly rotational with fits and starts of leadership from a variety of sectors and factors. As such, the Fund remains broadly diversified. The Fund continues to own secular growth opportunities that should be more enduring such as productivity-enhancing services. Additionally, the Fund maintains investments in consumer-related cyclical areas, as consumer balance sheets are still strong and services spending shows opportunities for improvement. The Fund also has sought to manage risk around the higher growth, but perhaps more speculative opportunities by reducing risk where valuations are stretched relative to the broad market. As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund held overweights to industrials, consumer discretionary, health care and consumer staples. During the period, the Fund further increased its underweight to information technology and also migrated its financials allocation to an underweight.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

While market pullbacks and corrections are a normal course of events this most recent sell-off at the market level and targeting growth names particularly has been sharp and sudden. Market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's ability to slow down the economy in an effort to contain inflation.

CALAMOS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Growth and Income Fund posted a return of -10.56% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus a return of -9.65% for the S&P 500 Index. The ICE BofA All US Convertibles ex Mandatory Index registered a decline of -16.32% 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 has returned 9.84% on an annualized basis versus an 8.17% gain for the S&P 500 Index and 8.50% return for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles ex Mandatory Index.

Please discuss the Fund's lower-volatility characteristics.

We believe the Fund's historical lower-volatility characteristics are a byproduct of our investment style and focus on participating in equity market upside with less volatility than the market as a whole. Beta is one popular statistic for measuring volatility. Beta considers a fund's historic volatility versus the market, which is assigned a beta of 1.0. A fund with half the volatility of the market would have a beta of 0.5, while a fund with a beta of 2.0 would have been twice as volatile as the market. Since its inception, the Fund has had a beta of 0.76 (Class I shares) versus the S&P 500 Index. The Fund, therefore, outperformed the broader equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, with less volatility than the equity market. Please note that past performance does not indicate future results and that beta is one of many measures of risk.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes and a reduction of its balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 for Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022. Looking ahead, however, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices and the like. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to endemic, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

There wasn't much that worked well for investment markets over the reporting period. The more typical safety of high-quality bonds proved elusive as the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index saw a big decline of -9.47% for the period. Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the S&P 500 Value Index decreasing only -1.64%, while the S&P 500 Growth Index declined -16.86%. Investors were more sensitive to valuation and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth

Calamos Growth and Income Fund

companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows of March 2020 through late 2021. The S&P 500 Index was led by commodity and defensive oriented sectors that would not be considered exceptionally growthy such as energy (+34.5%), consumer staples (+10.7%), utilities (+8.2%), materials (+0.8%), and real estate (-1.0%). Rounding out the index sectors were healthcare (-1.8%), industrials (-8.2%), information technology (-12.6%), financials (-13.5%), consumer discretionary (-18.9%), and communication services (-27.5%).

For the semiannual period, the Fund slightly lagged the all-equity index largely due to issue selection and an uncharacteristically difficult stretch for convertible bonds relative to the broad equity market. Sector allocations were modestly additive to relative performance partially due to the funds slight overweight to the energy sector, which led the equity markets overall. Conversely, an underweight to health care was a slight distraction from sector positioning. In terms of security selection, portfolio holdings within the financials sector lagged those of the S&P 500 Index as did holdings within the consumer discretionary sector. Within financials, relative performance lagged more because of what the Fund didn't own in multi-sector holdings, rather than struggles from companies the Fund held. As for health care, convertible securities in health care technology and health care services lagged the equity names within the S&P 500 Index. In our view, convertible securities traditionally offer more risk-managed access to higher growth businesses. But in this reporting period, the underlying equities of higher growth, small and mid cap businesses were significantly out of favor as investors contemplated growth potential in light of the Fed's goals to slow down economic activity and inflation. Security selection was additive within communication services and industrials where convertible securities in movies & entertainment and airlines were significantly additive.

How is the Fund positioned?

From an asset class perspective, our positioning continues to favor equities over fixed income, with convertible securities being the most favored fixed income security. Traditional fixed income continues to face pressure in a rising interest rate environment. Overall, we are emphasizing companies with higher quality characteristics, such as balance sheet strength, earnings quality, and stable cash flow generation, among other factors. Thematically, we are seeking companies positioned to benefit from a goods-to-services transition, where demand is improving not decelerating. Our positioning is likely to become more positive/constructive once the investment markets move beyond this period of rebasing expectations and stabilize.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Our base case is that the US economy has entered a slowing mid-cycle period. The Fed's mission to slow economic growth in order to stem the tide of rampant inflation has complicated the economic cycle. While the Fed wishes to curb inflation, the economy was already slowing down, in our view. The end of massive stimulus, the war in Ukraine and global sanctions, Covid lockdowns in China, and continuing supply chain issues have all served to slow economic activity.

Calamos Growth and Income Fund

While market pullbacks and corrections are a normal course of events, this most recent sell-off at the market level and in growth names particularly has been sharp and sudden. Clearly market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's ability to slow down the economy in an effort to contain inflation. It's also important to remember that interest rate hikes have a delayed effect on the overall economy, and we believe the Fed may be able to be more cautious than what the market is currently pricing in terms of the tightening of financial conditions. We have already seen indications of slowing inflation data that gives us reason for optimism.

Overall, corporate balance sheets and personal balance sheets are still quite healthy. Nominal levels of economic activity have been strong, validating the overall health of the economy ex inflation. Interest rate hikes increase the cost of capital, but in many cases corporations and individuals have locked in borrowing costs and should be less affected by these moves. Labor markets are strong, which is also a positive sign for the economy. That said, there are certainly parts of the economy that are more interest-rate sensitive such as housing, and there are corporations that will continue to need to access capital markets for funding that will be worth keeping an eye on. The list of market worries is still quite long and includes concerns about interest rates, inflation, the war in Ukraine, waves of Covid, supply chains, commodity prices as mentioned previously, but It's also important to keep a long-term perspective and investigate short term opportunities created by market dislocations. A risk-conscious approach to equity markets appears appropriate in light of these conditions.

CALAMOS DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Dividend Growth Fund returned -9.87% (Class I shares at net asset value), largely in line with the S&P 500 Index return of -9.65%.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes as well as a reduction of the Fed's balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 for Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022 as well. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices and the like. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to endemic, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the S&P 500 Value Index decreasing only -1.64%, while the S&P 500 Growth Index declined -16.86%. Investors were clearly more sensitive to valuation and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows of March 2020 through late 2021. For the semiannual period, the S&P 500 Index was led by commodity and defensive-oriented sectors that would not be considered exceptionally growthy such as energy (+34.5%), consumer staples (+10.7%), utilities (+8.2%), materials (+0.8%), and real estate (-1.0%). Rounding out the sectors within the index were healthcare (-1.8%), industrials (-8.2%), information technology (-12.6%), financials (-13.5%), consumer discretionary (-18.9%), and communication services (-27.5%).

The Fund's sector allocation was marginally additive to relative performance for the reporting period. An overweight to energy, which was the market's leading sector, added value as did our underweight to communication services where we had concerns about the sector's valuations. That said, an underweight to the real estate sector, although a small percentage of the S&P 500 Index, was a drag on relative performance.

While the Fund did reduce weightings in some of the more speculative growth businesses trading at loftier valuations and does own stocks within the value arena, the portfolio has an overall slight bias toward growth businesses—looking to that growth to assist in dividends and dividend growth. For the reporting period, security selection, notably in financials and consumer discretionary, was a slight drag on relative performance. In financials, an emphasis on investment banking & brokerage as well as diversified banks was detrimental as those industries underperformed. Within consumer discretionary, names within auto parts as well as hotels, resorts & cruise lines struggled. Strong stock selection in health care was noteworthy as well as information technology. Within health care,

44


Calamos Dividend Growth Fund

the portfolio's names in pharmaceuticals and health care equipment strongly outperformed those of the market. Within information technology, Fund holdings in environmental facilities & services as well as railroads boosted results.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is broadly diversified by sector, favoring individual stock selection to significant sector over and underweights. The Fund's largest underweight is in the real estate sector, which has more fulsome valuations relative to growth opportunities, in our view. The most significant changes in relative weightings were reductions to information technology and financials. The largest increases to relative sector weights occurred within health care names and consumer staples. While consumer staples can be considered more defensive, our additions to the space are tied to consumer strength. The Fund's mix of common stocks includes cyclical and secular growth opportunities, though the greater focus is on names that offer higher quality consistent earnings, strong cash flow and growth potential.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Our base case is that the US economy has entered a slowing mid-cycle period. The Fed's mission to slow economic growth in order to stem rampant inflation has complicated the economic cycle. While the Fed wishes to curb inflation, the economy was already slowing down, in our view. The end of massive stimulus, the war in Ukraine and global sanctions, Covid lockdowns in China, and continued supply chain issues have all served to slow economic activity.

But It's also important to keep a long-term perspective and investigate short-term opportunities created by market dislocations. Our focus on stable companies that generate ample free cash flow appears appropriate in light of these conditions.

CALAMOS SELECT FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Select Fund returned -11.96% (Class I shares at net asset value), while the S&P 500 Index returned -9.65%.

What factors influenced performance over the period?

The US equity market struggled over the semiannual period as soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to tighten financial conditions (through a combination of interest rate hikes and a reduction of its balance sheet) gave investors reasons to re-evaluate future economic growth and the prices paid for equities. That said, companies continued to report strong earnings and revenue growth during the period with 31% earnings growth for the S&P 500 for Q4 2021, and current indications point to strong, positive earnings growth for Q1 2022.

Growth stocks lagged relative to value and defensive stocks during the period, as evidenced by the S&P 500 Value Index declining only -1.64%, while the S&P 500 Growth Index delivered a return of -16.86%. Investors were clearly more sensitive to valuations and the prospect of reduced growth expectations associated with growth companies as well as names that had strongly outperformed the rest of the market from the lows in March 2020 through late 2021.

The Fund's sector allocation was broadly neutral to relative performance for the reporting period. An overweight to consumer staples, which performed quite well in the more defensive environment, added value as did our underweight to information technology where we had concerns about valuations. That said, a lack of exposure to the real estate sector, although a small percentage of the S&P 500 Index, was a drag on relative performance.

While the Fund did reduce weightings in several more speculative growth businesses trading at loftier valuations, and we do own stocks within the value arena, the portfolio overall has a slight bias toward growth businesses. Security selection within information technology, consumer discretionary and utilities were all drags on relative performance. In information technology, the Fund did reduce its overall allocation and sought to reduce higher valued names, but the Fund did still own higher prospective growth businesses that are geared toward enhancing productivity. Those stocks, which had been strong performers previously and continue to offer higher growth opportunities, fell out of favor with the nervous market.

parts struggled. In utilities, holdings within electric utilities lagged those of the overall sector. By way of contrast, strong stock selection was notable within health care and industrials. Within health care, the portfolio's selection in pharmaceuticals strongly outperformed those of the market and selection within managed care also added to relative performance. Within the industrials sector, Fund holdings in environmental facilities & services as well as railroads outperformed for the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

While a decidedly more defensive tone has permeated the market recently, US equity markets have been highly rotational with fits and starts of leadership from a variety of sectors and factors. As such, the Fund remains broadly diversified by sector. The real estate sector is the only space where the Fund has no allocation. During the reporting period, the Fund noticeably increased its allocations in health care as well as consumer staples. Health care names had struggled previously, offer attractive valuations and are not as dependent on rampant GDP growth. Consumer staples tend to offer more stability with the trade-off typically being less dynamic growth. The Fund's focus has been on more dynamic growth opportunities associated with those consumers who still indicate a propensity to spend. The most significant reductions from a sector allocation standpoint occurred within information technology and financials. As mentioned previously, information technology was reduced in an effort to manage risk around companies with the good and not-so-good characteristics of higher growth yet higher valuations. In hindsight a further reduction would have worked better during the reporting period, yet we still see opportunity for these dynamic, productivity enhancing businesses. In the financials space, changes were more geared at the company level, where the portfolio exited three positions while adding two new names, as opposed to strong top-down concerns.

The Fund continues to favor large cap names across the spectrum of secular growth opportunities that should be more enduring such as productivity enhancing services as well as consumer-related cyclical areas. Consumer balance sheets are still strong and services spending still shows opportunities for improvement. Nominal growth measures are still strong, validating the resilience of the US consumer, though we will keep a watchful eye on inflation and employment measures for indications of potential changes.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

While market pullbacks and corrections are a normal course of events, this most recent sell-off at the market level and of growth names in particular has been sharp and sudden. Clearly market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's ability to slow down the economy in an effort to contain inflation. It's also important to remember that interest rate hikes have a delayed effect on the overall economy, and we believe the Fed may be able to be more cautious than what the market is currently pricing in terms of the tightening of financial conditions. We have already seen indications of slowing inflation data that gives us reason for optimism.

Overall, corporate balance sheets and personal balance sheets are still quite healthy. Nominal levels of economic activity have been strong, indicating the good overall health of the economy ex inflation. Interest rate hikes increase the cost of

capital, but in many cases corporations and individuals have locked in borrowing costs and should be less affected by these moves. Labor markets are strong, which is also a positive sign for the economy. Nevertheless, there are certainly parts of the economy that are more interest-rate sensitive such as housing, and there are corporations that will need to access capital markets for funding, which we will keep an eye on. The list of market worries is still quite long and includes concerns about interest rates, inflation, the war in Ukraine, Covid variants, supply chains, and commodity prices as mentioned previously, but It's also important to keep a long-term perspective and investigate short-term opportunities created by market dislocations.

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos International Growth Fund returned -22.36% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the -18.20% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and -11.68% return for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. The Fund's return landed within the 63rd percentile of the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category during this time period.*

Since Class I shares inception on March 17, 2005, the Fund has returned 7.57% on an annualized basis compared with a 5.94% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and 5.40% increase for the MSCI ACWI ex USA 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 semiannual period?

International stocks struggled in the semiannual period as markets traversed a landscape characterized by higher inflation, rising interest rates, and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking ahead, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and high commodity prices. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, the recent lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

The Fund trailed the index over the semiannual period due to lagging individual security selection. Our Fund holdings in foreign stocks with more cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the narrow, defensive market sectors and industries that held up relatively better amid the broad sell-off in international equities.

Positive Influences on Performance

Energy. The Fund's average overweight position and favorable security selection in energy helped buoy relative returns. Specifically, oil & gas exploration & production and integrated oil & gas supported return.

Materials. Leading security selection and an average overweight position in materials, notably in copper and diversified metals & mining, added to the Fund's performance.

Negative Influences on Performance

Information Technology. Over the period, security selection and an average overweight stance within the information technology sector hampered relative performance, as holdings in the internet services & infrastructure and semiconductor equipment industries underperformed.

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

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

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

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

PORTFOLIO FIT

As an active, true growth offering with a differentiated return profile, the Fund can potentially help investors optimize capital appreciation within their international allocation.

Communication Services. Security selection in communication services lost ground as well, especially in the interactive home entertainment and advertising industries.

Geographic Performance

Favorable security selection in EMEA added value to Fund performance. The lack of any exposure in Poland helped relative performance.

By contrast, security selection in Emerging Asia negatively impacted the Fund's performance. The Fund's securities fell short of benchmark constituents, especially those in China and Taiwan. Security selection in Europe also trailed the index and hampered returns in the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

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

  The Fund is positioned with a combination of cyclical and secular growth opportunities, including commodities exposure, reopening/recovery stories, and select defensives.

  Industrials, consumer discretionary, technology, health care, financials and materials represent the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, banks, semiconductors, aerospace and defense, metals & mining, and travel.

  We own a range of energy and materials holdings in companies positioned to benefit from global supply-and-demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency.

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

  Through a geographic lens, we own diversified holdings in Europe across a range of end markets and business models. The Fund is positioned in a blend of cyclical and secular growth companies, commodity exposures, along with select reopening and defensive areas.

  We own positions in emerging markets within key demand areas such as semiconductors, branded apparel, interactive media, and higher-quality financials.

  We hold a moderate weight in Japan, which includes several higher-quality companies with attractive business models positioned to benefit as global supply chains normalize in the coming months.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

International equities continue to navigate a set of formidable crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside geopolitical events, key policy actions and corporate earnings. Global monetary conditions are in a period of transition as multiple central banks tapered asset purchases and raised interest rates in recent months. We see opportunities in foreign stocks that may benefit from normalizing supply chains and inflation in the months ahead,

earnings growth potential, and a range of exploitable valuation differences across regions. Despite these tailwinds, we are mindful that markets will experience volatility and we remain closely attuned to risks.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor investments in companies with near-term earnings growth potential, flexible balance sheets, supportive valuations, and advantaged business models. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, health care, energy, and materials with compelling fundamentals. 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.

CALAMOS EVOLVING WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund returned -17.66% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a -14.04% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Since its Class I shares inception on August 15, 2008, the Fund has returned 5.39% on an annualized basis compared with the 3.39% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to access emerging market opportunities and deliver leading returns while pursuing a risk-managed investment approach over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

Emerging markets struggled during the semiannual period against a backdrop of higher inflation, heightened geopolitical tension, and a stronger dollar. Looking ahead, investors and companies have lowered expectations given the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and high commodity prices. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Pursuant to our objectives, the Evolving World Growth Fund navigated the volatile markets while employing an active blend of economic cohorts and drawing on a wide investment universe. The Fund's return trailed the index over the semiannual due primarily to lagging security selection. Our holdings in emerging market companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the more narrow, defensive market sectors and industries that held up relatively better amid the correction in emerging markets.

Positive Influences on Performance

Energy. The Fund's leading security selection in energy outperformed. Names in integrated oil & gas and oil & gas equipment & services were leading contributors.

Materials. Favorable security selection in materials, notably in copper and aluminum, added to the Fund's performance.

Negative Influences on Performance

Communication Services. Over the period, security selection and an average overweight allocation within the communication services sector detracted from relative performance, as holdings in the interactive home entertainment and integrated telecommunication services industries lagged.

Financials. Selection in financials, specifically in the diversified banks and life & health insurance industries, lost ground on a relative basis.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
56


Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund

Geographic Performance

Favorable security selection and an underweight stance in EMEA drove relative performance. Also, the Fund benefitted from select multinationals in the United States with significant revenue exposure in emerging markets.

In contrast, security selection in Emerging Asia dragged on return. Holdings in Taiwan and India hindered relative returns. Moreover, selection in Emerging Latin America underperformed. Specifically, our holdings in Brazil and Argentina trailed.

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 maintain a constructive view on opportunities in emerging markets. Our Fund positioning favors a blend of cyclical and secular growth companies, commodity exposures, reopening stories and select defensives.

  From a sector perspective, the Fund's largest weights are in financials, technology, consumer discretionary, materials and energy. We own holdings within key demand areas including higher-quality financials, semiconductors, interactive media & services, internet retail, and metals & mining.

  We own a range of energy and materials holdings in companies positioned to benefit from global supply-and-demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency.

  We hold a low weight or underweight in defensive sectors including utilities, health care, and traditional telecoms, reflecting our more favorable view of opportunities in the sectors noted above.

  From a geographic perspective, we favor investments in India, China, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and an expanding set of opportunities in parts of Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Emerging markets continue to navigate a set of complex crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside the geopolitical backdrop, key policy actions and corporate earnings. Global monetary conditions are in a period of transition as multiple central banks have tapered asset purchases and raised policy rates. We see opportunities in emerging markets, reflecting prospects for a wider recovery in the quarters ahead, earnings growth potential and attractive valuations. Despite these potential catalysts, we are mindful that markets will experience volatility, and we remain closely attuned to risks.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor a blend of investments in cyclical and secular growth areas, in addition to those tied to demand in commodities, select reopening stories and defensives. We own companies with flexible balance sheets, supportive valuations, and the ability to deliver earnings growth in a challenging environment. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in consumer discretionary, financials, technology, materials, and energy with compelling fundamentals. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in emerging markets.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/22, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.60%, Class C shares is 2.34% and Class I shares is 1.35%. 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 1.30%, 2.05%, and 1.05% 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.

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 MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index considered broadly representative of emerging market equity performance. The index represents companies within the constituent emerging markets that are available to investors worldwide. The index is calculated on a total return basis, which includes reinvestment of gross dividends before deduction of withholding taxes.

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.

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 six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Global Equity Fund returned -20.94% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the -11.11% return for the MSCI World Index and the -11.45% return for the MSCI ACWI Index over the period. The Fund's return was ahead of its category peer average in the period, landing in the 44th percentile of the Morningstar Global Large-Stock Growth category.

We believe the Fund's compelling medium and long-term performance record demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments. Since its inception on March 2, 2007, the Fund has returned 8.71% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.91% return for the MSCI World Index and 6.53% return for the MSCI ACWI Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

Global stocks struggled in the semiannual period as investors traversed a global landscape characterized by higher inflation, rising interest rates, and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking ahead, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and high commodity prices. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

The Fund trailed the index over the semiannual period due to lagging individual security selection. Many of our Fund holdings in global companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the more narrow, defensive market sectors and industries that held up relatively better amid the broad sell-off.

Positive Influences on Performance

Energy. The Fund's average overweight stance and leading security selection in energy drove relative performance. Specifically, oil & gas exploration & production and integrated oil & gas represented major contributors.

Negative Influences on Performance

Information Technology. Over the period, security selection and an average overweight stance within information technology weakened relative results, as holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries curbed relative returns.

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

*  Data is as of 4/30/22. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.

investment team evaluates macroeconomic factors and growth opportunities, and actively integrates them into the investment decision-making process.

  The Fund is positioned with a combination of cyclical and secular growth opportunities, including commodities exposure, reopening/recovery stories and select defensives.

  Technology, consumer discretionary, health care, financials, industrials, and energy represent the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, diversified banks, aerospace and defense, interactive media, and oil & gas.

  We own a range of energy and materials holdings in companies positioned to benefit from global supply-and-demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency.

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

  We own a set of cyclical and secular growth opportunities in the US, favoring businesses with the ability to grow near-term earnings and relatively supportive valuations.

  In Europe, we own diversified holdings that reflect a blend of end markets and business types positioned in cyclicals in addition to commodity exposures, select reopening stories, and defensive areas.

  We own select positions in emerging markets within key demand areas such as semiconductors, branded apparel, interactive media, and higher quality financials.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Global stocks continue to navigate a set of formidable crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside the geopolitical backdrop, key policy actions and corporate earnings. Global monetary conditions are in a period of transition as multiple central banks have tapered asset purchases and raised interest rates in recent months. We see opportunities in global stocks that may benefit from normalizing supply chains and inflation in the months ahead, continued earnings growth potential, and a range of exploitable valuation differences across regions. Despite these tailwinds, we are mindful that markets will experience volatility and we remain closely attuned to risks.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor investments in companies with advantaged business models, flexible balance sheets, supportive valuations, and the ability to deliver earnings growth. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, health care, energy, and materials with compelling fundamentals. Our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in global markets.

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.

CALAMOS GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Global Opportunities Fund returned -15.65% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a -11.45% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and -11.11% return for the MSCI World Index.

Since Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 7.57% on an annualized basis versus a 6.64% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 6.83% return for the MSCI World Index. We manage the Fund with the goal of achieving upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. We believe this performance demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate attractive long-term returns while pursuing a risk-managed investment approach.

What factors influenced performance?

Global stocks and convertible securities struggled in the semiannual period as markets traversed a global landscape characterized by higher inflation, rising interest rates, and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking ahead, investors and companies have lowered expectations considering the risks presented by interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and high commodity prices. While Covid has largely transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, lockdowns in China still threaten the course of more normal economic activity globally.

Pursuant to our risk-managed equity objective, the Fund navigated volatile markets while employing an active blend of common stocks, convertibles, and options. The Fund's return trailed the index over the semiannual period due to lagging individual security selection. Our holdings in global companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the more narrow, defensive market sectors and industries that held up relatively better amid the broad sell-off across markets.

Positive Influences on Performance

Energy. The Fund's favorable security selection and average overweight stance in energy promoted relative returns. In particular, our holdings in oil & gas exploration & production and integrated oil & gas were sources of strength.

Consumer Discretionary. In consumer discretionary, security selection in the automobile manufacturers and general merchandise stores industries added to the Fund's performance

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

  Favors companies that source varied revenue streams and strive to generate high-quality growth fundamentals.

  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 along with the potential for lower volatility over market cycles.

Negative Influences on Performance

Information Technology. Over the period, selection within the information technology sector held back relative performance, as holdings in the data processing & outsourced services and semiconductor equipment industries lagged.

Financials. Security selection and an average underweight position in financials also held back relative results. Specifically, diversified banks and our lack of participation in multi-sector holdings hindered return.

Geographic Performance

From a regional standpoint, the Fund benefitted from security selection and an underweight allocation in EMEA. Specifically, our lack of exposure in Russia and Poland represented significant contributors. Moreover, favorable security selection and an overweight allocation in Canada added value to Fund performance.

Conversely, selection in Europe, particularly holdings in the Netherlands and Switzerland, detracted from the Fund's performance. In addition, the Fund's relative security selection in the United States weakened relative returns.

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.

Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Please discuss the new Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund's strategy and role within an asset allocation.

Recently launched on March 30, 2022, we are pleased to introduce the Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund, which in simple terms seeks out securities that offer the best opportunities for growth. It does so by providing investors exposure to an asset class often under-represented in portfolios with the potential for diversification and alpha opportunities. Among its benefits, the Fund offers:

  Meaningful diversification. International small cap stocks are less correlated to the US large and small cap markets, which makes them an excellent means to diversify a portfolio. Non-US small caps are tied more closely to their local economies, serve different customers, operate in different macroeconomic environments, and thereby provide different sources of earnings. The Fund seeks investments in companies with superior earnings growth potential coupled with financial strength and flexibility.

  The potential to add alpha. The international small cap universe has the greatest number of stocks and fewest analysts per stock. This relative lack of coverage creates an opportunity for the Calamos team to uncover misunderstood or less followed companies, recognizing potential catalysts in advance of the broader market.

  A long-tenured investment team with a history of success identifying high-potential companies within key secular themes. These include promising businesses in mobility and connectivity, mass digitization, artificial intelligence and automation, global demographic shifts as well as advances in nanotech, biotech and genetics.

What is your outlook for international small cap growth stocks?

International stocks continue to navigate a set of formidable crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside geopolitical events, key policy actions and corporate earnings. Global monetary conditions are in a period of transition as multiple central banks have tapered asset purchases and raised interest rates in recent months. We see opportunities in foreign small cap stocks that should benefit from normalizing supply chain and inflation dynamics, earnings growth potential, and relatively weak sentiment and positioning. Despite these potential tailwinds, we are mindful that markets will experience volatility and we remain closely attuned to risks.

OVERVIEW

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in compelling international small capitalization companies with superior earnings growth potential coupled with financial strength and flexibility.

CALAMOS GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE EQUITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Please discuss Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund's strategy and role within an asset allocation.

Led by a team of ESG pioneers with over 20 years of experience, Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund employs an integrated, fundamental and proprietary ESG screening process—benchmarked to the MSCI ACWI Index—to evaluate and select what we deem are the highest-quality, ESG-adherent growth opportunities throughout the world in developed and developing economies as well as across market capitalizations.

The Fund can serve as a core equity strategy that seeks to achieve competitive returns with lower volatility by focusing on companies that generate higher returns on capital and possess better growth prospects than their global peers. Companies must have demonstrated a consistent history of additive shareholder value by producing returns above and beyond the cost of capital. And companies must exhibit a high degree of business ethics and responsible conduct to qualify for inclusion in the portfolio.

How has the Fund performed?

For the period from Fund inception on December 17, 2021, through April 30, 2022, Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund returned -15.30% (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Net return of -12.94%.

What factors influenced performance over the since inception period?

Global equity markets sold off throughout the reporting period as market sentiment declined with concerns of stagflation—a combination of inflation and stagnant or negative economic growth. Central banks around the globe have moved to tighten financial conditions, notably with a hawkish pivot from the US Federal Reserve in late 2021. Adding to concerns, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical and economic sanctions, as well as China's Covid lockdowns all weighed on the economic outlook. These shocks served to thicken an already complicated plot of inflation, supply chain disruptions, commodity shortages/pricing pressures, and tightening interest rates.

Some of the worst performing stocks for the quarter included former pandemic superstars, reminding investors that indiscriminately loading up on what's in favor under certain market conditions can result in painful losses down the road. While the trend was broadly downward for the reporting period, markets were punctuated with bouts of volatility. Nothing illustrated the volatility of the period like Chinese stocks. A year-long downturn was punctuated by a precipitous fall in

mid-March 2022 followed by a massive upturn as the Chinese government signaled support for its markets. Rally notwithstanding, serious questions remain regarding the soundness of numerous Chinese stocks.

Global markets were led by commodity and defensive-oriented sectors with energy the stand-out winner for performance, gaining 23.6% for the period in the MSCI ACWI Index. Utilities (+0.9%), materials (-0.7%), consumer staples (-0.9%) each held their own fairly well during the period. Rounding out the sectors within the MSCI ACWI Index were real estate (-5.9%), healthcare (-6.0%), financials (-6.6%), industrials (-10.8%), information technology (-17.9%), consumer discretionary (-18.1%), and communication services (-19.8%).

The Fund's relative performance was most impacted by stock selection rather than sector allocations as lower beta and defensive names were more in favor during the reporting period. Despite the fact that the Fund has no holdings in the energy sector that meet our criteria for financially sound and sustainable investments, our sector allocations were only a slight detractor to relative performance. An underweight to communication services along with an overweight to utilities were additive on a relative basis. Stock selection within industrials and health care weighed on relative performance for the period. Within industrials, selection in electrical components & equipment as well as human resource & employment services lagged on a relative basis. Within health care, holdings in pharmaceuticals and health care equipment lagged. However, we continue to believe the businesses held by the Fund are high quality opportunities despite recent market sentiment. Fund holdings in communication services and real estate each outperformed and added relative value during the reporting period.

How is the Fund positioned?

The portfolio remains broadly diversified and anticipates a low turnover focus on higher quality businesses. Our philosophy is that companies with strong ESG characteristics are better equipped to adapt to change, to evolve, and to avoid unnecessary liabilities, thereby contributing to investor return potential and risk reduction—integrating ESG analysis with traditional financial analysis produces better financial and societal results. The Fund seeks to achieve above-average returns with lower volatility by focusing on companies that generate higher returns on capital, possess better growth prospects, and hold sustainable competitive advantages over their peers. We believe a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks can produce above-average market returns with lower volatility over the long term.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund holds overweights to industrials and materials, while it is underweight the energy, communication services and financials sectors. The portfolio is positioned near market weight relative to emerging markets (approximately 15% of the MSCI ACWI Index) and has overweights to western European markets, which served the portfolio well during the period.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Looking forward, central banks have a delicate balance to maintain. Inflation continues at high levels, while growth has shown signs of slowing. How much

and how fast they should raise rates becomes the key questions given that monetary policy cannot support growth and fight inflation at the same time. US Fed Chairman Powell hinted at a more hawkish attitude in late March; and this time, markets seemed to take him seriously, spiking yields up and bond prices down as investors started adjusting to a new era.

Higher rates mean higher mortgage costs, which will be a bucket of water on the red-hot housing market. Higher rates also mean it is more expensive for companies to repay or refinance their debt. Rapid increases in the price of money have many known economic effects, but perhaps more concerning is what unintended consequences will result as the world moves away from easy money.

A recent study from McKinsey & Co. estimates that the investment needed to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas pollution to zero by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Agreement, could be $9 trillion annually. Scientists agree that the cost of not meaningfully advancing toward the global climate goal will be much greater. Cooperation by everyone from national leaders to individual citizens is essential. Corporations will need to adjust business models, develop new products, retool supply chains, and make prudent long-term capital decisions to gain efficiencies and remain competitive. Investors who can navigate this transition successfully will be rewarded. The Calamos Sustainable Equities Fund team is focused on doing just that.

Times of volatility can be unnerving for investors but are also times when shares of quality companies can be bought at discounted prices. We view volatility as opportunity and a time to build long-term value.

CALAMOS TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), the Fund returned -8.62% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the -9.47% return of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

Since its Class I shares inception on June 27, 2007, the Fund gained 3.47% on an annualized basis versus a 3.37% return for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

Economic data during the semiannual period decelerated from the elevated readings the market recorded through the pandemic recovery period, though nominal levels continue to indicate the underlying strength of consumers and businesses. Labor markets, in particular, have maintained strength with millions of unfilled jobs that far outnumber unemployed Americans. These are typically measures that accompany bullish retail survey data and an upbeat market tone for risk assets. Despite these tailwinds, the market is contending with persistent inflation well above Fed target levels in addition to a long list of unpredictable macro factors. In addition to Covid variants and the supply chain quagmire, the market now has a European war, midterm elections and an expanding set of surging commodity prices to work through. These unknowns, along with increasingly hawkish actions and rhetoric from the Fed, drove volatility higher across asset classes.

Inflation measures reported price increases across a wide range of goods and services. The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of the price change in goods as they leave their place of production, grew to 10% annualized in February. PPI sometimes serves as a leading indicator for consumer prices as producers pass along the higher cost of raw materials to consumers in future months. With several food and energy inputs surging higher during the period, it is possible that headline PPI could increase further.

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

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

  Draws on a broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include high yield bonds, bank loans and preferreds provides additional opportunities.

  Utilizes robust, independent credit research that unites quantitative and qualitative analyses into historical and forward-looking models. The result is a credit rating that reflects where a company is heading.

PORTFOLIO FIT

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

After pivoting to a hawkish tone late last year, each FOMC meeting and speaking opportunity seemed to serve as an occasion to reinforce the market's expectations for tightening monetary policy. With 75 basis points of tightening already baked into the federal funds rate, the market was pricing in an additional eight Fed hikes during calendar 2022. Balance sheet reduction will commence on June 1, with a short acceleration period followed by a $95 billion monthly run-off cap going forward.

If circumstances in China are any indication, Covid is far from over, but its level of influence on markets seems to be waning as governments attempt to strike the appropriate balance between public health and economic normalcy. No additional fiscal stimulus was announced during the period, the absence of which we are expecting to act as a drag on economic activity in the coming year.

Domestic equity markets delivered negative returns across market capitalizations and styles. Historically defensive sectors such as utilities and health care outperformed while consumer discretionary and technology sectors fared worse. High yield credit spreads were substantially wider, but off the wides of mid-March, while investment grade spreads followed a similar arc through the period.

The option-adjusted spread on the Bloomberg US Corporate Index expanded from 87 basis points to 135 basis points. In the high yield market, option-adjusted spreads widened materially to 379 basis points from 287 basis points during the semiannual period.

Fed activity and rhetoric drove Treasury rates significantly higher over the semiannual period, with nearly all investment grade fixed income strategies delivering negative returns. While two-year yields were higher by 222 basis points, five-year yields increased by 177 basis points, and ten-year maturities increased 138 basis points. The yield differential between two-year and ten-year Treasury rates (often referred to generically as the yield curve) moved flatter from 105 basis points to 23 basis points. The Treasury component of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index led with a -8.3% return, securitized products returned -8.4%, with the government-related sector returning -8.5%, and the corporate sector trailing at -12.8%.

The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the semiannual period. Despite the poor performance of corporate bonds at the index level, the overweight allocation to corporate bonds across financial, industrial, and utility-related sectors was a positive contributor to performance due to the Fund's shorter duration within the sector and the inclusion of floating-rate bank loans. The overweight allocation to the asset-backed security sector also supported performance, while the team's security selection and underweight in Treasuries weighed on results. Over the long term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the Fund, as the additional yield has historically generated superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 5.9 years, short to the 6.4 years option adjusted duration of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment grade and out-of-benchmark high yield ratings categories. These 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 widening of spreads in risk assets led to sharply negative returns during the

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund

reporting period. The Fund remains overweight corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, though the weighting of corporate bonds was lowered sharply during the semiannual period in favor of additional exposure to bank loans and mortgage-backed securities. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations are found in the consumer non-cyclical and transportation sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

To paraphrase former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, there are knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. According to history, it's the unknown unknowns that can really get you, but we are living in a time with an extraordinary number of known unknowns, and they currently dominate the headlines and markets. Whether its Covid, war, supply chain disruptions, midterm elections or energy, the world teems with uncertainty.

Inflation: Multiple forces are at play driving prices higher, including lingering supply chain challenges, commodity pressures, and exorbitant housing costs. It's difficult to determine how much is structural and how much is temporary. We are hopeful that the price spikes in items sourced from conflict-areas (neon gas, titanium, wheat and fertilizer to name a few) will prove more temporary. At a minimum, we have experienced a large one-time upward revision to prices, but the likelihood of a long-term wage-price reaction has increased. If higher inflation expectations become entrenched in consumer behavior decisions (buying now because items will cost more in the future), it will only exacerbate the problem.

Fed Policy: What can the Fed do about this situation? Having set out on its tightening course, the goal is to slow aggregate demand without overdoing it and negatively impacting labor conditions. It's worth pointing out that only once since WWII (in the mid-1990s) has the Fed navigated a soft landing by threading that needle. Three months ago, it was clear that the Fed was still attempting to strike a balance with its dual mandate, but recently the focus has shifted forcefully to halting price pressure. We expect the Fed to be aggressive early in this tightening cycle. This aggressiveness is likely to fade by the second half of this year because the Fed will need to evaluate the impact of reducing its balance sheet in real-time as it navigates these uncharted waters.

Fiscal Policy: Political gridlock gripped Washington much quicker than anticipated, starting with last year's failure to pass "Build Back Better." Stimulus is on track to decline dramatically over the course of 2022, which will be a de facto economic decelerator. In a midterm election year, we expect there will be plenty of support to pass legislation that puts money in the hands of consumers, but given the inflationary backdrop, the opposition will be staunch. The likelihood of a Republican majority in the Senate or both houses of Congress remains high. That would stall most, if not all, progress on the Biden administration's domestic agenda. That said, if Biden finds an administrative action to forgive $1.6 trillion in outstanding Federal student loan debt, this will equal the economic value of the reduced Build Back Better proposal that failed in December.

Economic and Credit Conditions: Despite the current challenges and clearly decelerating data, most economic measures indicate underlying strength. Measures of labor market health, aggregate demand and consumption, and management surveys are robust. One area of weakness is in measures of consumer confidence, which are falling because of reduced expectations for the

future, primarily attributable to current levels of inflation. Put it all together, and the picture remains relatively sanguine in comparison to the past decade—if inflation can be kept in check.

In the meantime, borrowing costs for companies and households have increased, but credit is still readily available. Our assessment of corporate fundamentals suggests steady improvement of leverage and interest coverage on the back of record revenue and EBITDA growth even in non-energy related sectors.

Positioning Implications: Our base case anticipates a more volatile spread environment with moderately higher interest rates over the balance of 2022. Rapid changes in communication from the Fed have led to market rates already pricing in an aggressive path of tightening. In our view, the Treasury curve flattening we have seen to this point simply reflects that aggressiveness. While we continue to doubt that the above-trend inflation environment will lead to drastically higher interest rates in long-dated maturities, we are maintaining cautious duration implementation across fixed income strategies.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund returned -6.10% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the -7.40% return of the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

Since its Class I shares inception on August 2, 1999, the Fund gained 5.92% on an annualized basis versus a 7.40% return for the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

Economic data during the semiannual period decelerated from the elevated readings of the pandemic recovery period, though nominal levels continue to validate the underlying strength of consumers and businesses. Labor markets, in particular, have maintained strength with millions of unfilled jobs that far outnumber unemployed Americans. These are typically measures that accompany bullish retail survey data and an upbeat market tone for risk assets. Despite these tailwinds, the market is contending with persistent inflation well above Fed target levels in addition to a long list of unpredictable macro factors. Along with Covid variants and the supply chain quagmire, the market now has a European war, midterm elections and an expanding set of surging commodity prices to work through. These unknowns, along with increasingly hawkish actions and rhetoric from the Fed, drove volatility higher across asset classes.

Inflation measures reported price increases across a wide range of goods and services. The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of the price change in goods as they leave their place of production, increased to 10% annualized in February. PPI sometimes serves as a leading indicator for consumer prices as producers pass along the higher cost of raw materials to consumers in future months. With several food and energy inputs surging higher during the period, it is possible that headline PPI could increase further.

After pivoting to a hawkish tone late last year, each FOMC meeting and speaking opportunity seemed to serve as an occasion to reinforce the market's expectations for tightening monetary policy. With 75 basis points of tightening already baked into the federal funds rate, the market was only pricing in an additional eight Fed hikes during calendar 2022. Balance sheet reduction will commence on June 1 with a short acceleration period followed by a $95 billion monthly run-off cap going forward.

If circumstances in China are any indication, Covid is far from over, but its level of influence on markets seems to be waning as governments attempt to strike the appropriate balance between public health and economic normalcy. No additional fiscal stimulus was announced during the period, the absence of which we are expecting to act as a drag on economic activity in the coming year.

Domestic equity markets delivered negative returns across market capitalizations and styles. Historically defensive sectors such as utilities and health care outperformed, while consumer discretionary and technology sectors fared worse. High yield credit spreads were substantially wider but off the wides of mid-March, while investment grade spreads followed a similar arc through the period. Performance by rating category within the high yield market was mixed, with the move to higher underlying Treasury yields driving negative returns across the credit spectrum. BB-rated bonds returned -8.6%, whereas B-rated issuers delivered a loss of -5.8%, and CCC-rated paper returned -6.7%. At the beginning of the period, the trailing 12-month default rate was at an all-time low of 0.3%, as record increases in revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization used to ascertain operating profitability) improved the credit health of the broad market. By the end of the reporting period, default rates had increased to 0.5%, still well below the long-term average of 3.6%. After closing the previous reporting period with option adjusted spreads on high yield bonds at 271 basis points, the market sold off this past quarter, closing at 379 basis points. For investment grade spreads, the market closed at 135 basis points, wider than the 87 basis points in the prior period, but below the peak level of 145 basis points from mid-March. The best-performing sectors in the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index were energy (-4.4%), transportation (-5.2%) and other financial (-5.2%) while banks (-10.3%), technology (-9.9%) and brokers/asset managers/exchanges (-9.0%) represented the largest laggards.

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

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is currently overweight the property and casualty insurance, pharmaceuticals, and airlines industries. The pharmaceuticals overweight is a result of idiosyncratic opportunities in one company. The property and casualty insurance overweight is related to the strong pricing power of industry participants. Our largest underweights are in the consumer cyclical services, wireless, and electric utility industries. These underweights have been consistent from the beginning of the period.

From a credit-quality perspective, the Fund is positioned with a relative underweight in the BB and CCC categories, with a corresponding overweight in B-rated and out-of-benchmark BBB-rated issuers. The Fund is positioned short (3.7 years) in comparison to the option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (4.1 years).

Over the semiannual period, the team has added to positions in the capital goods, other financials, and media/entertainment sectors. Also, the team reduced the portfolio exposures to REITs and communications-related credits.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

To paraphrase former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, there are knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. According to history, it's the unknown unknowns that can really get you, but we are living in a time with an extraordinary number of known unknowns, and they currently dominate the headlines and markets. Whether its Covid, war, supply chain disruptions, midterm elections or energy, the world teems with uncertainty.

Inflation: Multiple forces are at play driving prices higher, including lingering supply chain challenges, commodity pressures, and exorbitant housing costs. It's difficult to determine how much is structural and how much is temporary. We are hopeful that the price spikes in items sourced from conflict-areas (neon gas, titanium, wheat and fertilizer to name a few) will prove more temporary. At a minimum, we have experienced a large one-time upward revision to prices, but the likelihood of a long-term wage-price reaction has increased. If higher inflation expectations become entrenched in consumer behavior decisions (buying now because items will cost more in the future), it will only exacerbate the problem.

Fed Policy: What can the Fed do about this situation? Having set out on its tightening course, the goal is to slow aggregate demand without overdoing it and negatively impacting labor conditions. It's worth pointing out that only once since WWII (in the mid-1990s) has the Fed navigated a soft landing by threading that needle. Three months ago, it was clear that the Fed was still attempting to strike a balance with its dual mandate, but recently the focus has shifted forcefully to halting price pressure. We expect the Fed to be very aggressive early in this tightening cycle. This aggressiveness is likely to fade by the second half of this year because the Fed will need to evaluate the impact of reducing its balance sheet in real-time as it navigates these uncharted waters.

Fiscal Policy: Political gridlock gripped Washington much quicker than anticipated, starting with last year's failure to pass "Build Back Better." Stimulus is on track to decline dramatically over the course of 2022, which will be a de facto economic decelerator. In a midterm election year, we expect there will be plenty of support to pass legislation that puts money in the hands of consumers, but given the inflationary backdrop, the opposition will be staunch. The likelihood of a Republican majority in the Senate or both houses of Congress remains high. That would stall most, if not all, progress on the Biden administration's domestic agenda. That said, if Biden finds an administrative action to forgive $1.6 trillion in outstanding Federal student loan debt, this will equal the economic value of the reduced Build Back Better proposal that failed in December.

Economic and Credit Conditions: Despite the current challenges and clearly decelerating data, most economic measures indicate underlying strength. Measures of labor market health, aggregate demand and consumption, and management surveys are robust. One area of weakness is in measures of consumer confidence, which are falling because of reduced expectations for the future, primarily attributable to current levels of inflation. Put it all together, and the picture remains relatively sanguine in comparison to the past decade—if inflation can be kept in check.

In the meantime, borrowing costs for companies and households have increased, but credit is still readily available. Our assessment of corporate fundamentals suggests steady improvement of leverage and interest coverage on the back of record revenue and EBITDA growth even in non-energy related sectors.

Positioning Implications: Our base case anticipates a more volatile spread environment with moderately higher interest rates over the balance of 2022. Rapid changes in communication from the Fed have led to market rates already pricing in an aggressive path of tightening. In our view, the Treasury curve flattening we have seen to this point simply reflects that aggressiveness. While we continue to doubt that the above-trend inflation environment will lead to drastically higher interest rates in long-dated maturities, we are maintaining cautious duration implementation across fixed income strategies.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2022 ("semiannual period"), the Fund returned -3.32% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the -3.24% return of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

Since its Class I shares inception on September 19, 2018, the Fund gained 1.76% on an annualized basis versus a 1.37% return for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

What factors influenced performance during the semiannual period?

Economic data during the semiannual period decelerated from the elevated readings the market recorded through the pandemic recovery period, though nominal levels continue to indicate the underlying strength of consumers and businesses.

No additional fiscal stimulus was announced during the period, the absence of which we are expecting to act as a drag on economic activity in the coming year.

Both investment grade and high yield credit spreads moved appreciably wider during the reporting period. At the period's open, the option-adjusted spread on the Bloomberg US Corporate 1-3 Year Index was 39 basis points before widening as much as 50 basis points before ending the period at 74 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries.

OVERVIEW

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

KEY FEATURES

Asset Allocation weightings are subject to change daily and are calculated as a percentage of net assets. The table excludes cash or cash equivalents, any government/sovereign bonds or broad based index hedging securities the Fund may hold.

Short duration Treasury yields steepened sharply with three-month bills higher by 78 basis points, two-year maturities yields up 222 basis points, and three-year maturities up 213 basis points. This largely represents changes in market expectations related to the magnitude of the Fed's tightening cycle after years of zero interest rate policy. Given the Treasury sell-off and spread widening during the period, major sectors of the short-duration market experienced losses, which is rare in the asset class. The government-related component of the Bloomberg US Corporate 1-3 Year Index led with a -3.1% return, with the Treasury sector trailing at -3.2% and the corporate sector delivering -3.4% 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-related sectors detracted from performance, though it was more than offset by the out-of-benchmark allocation to bank loans which delivered a positive nominal return during the period. Over the long term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the 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 1.8 years equal to the 1.8 years duration of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment grade and out-of-benchmark high yield ratings categories. These overweights led to a lower overall credit quality of A when compared to the AA quality of the benchmark. The negative returns in Treasuries coupled with wider spreads in risk assets led to negative returns for the Fund during the reporting period, in line with benchmark returns but ahead of peers. The Fund remains overweight in its corporate exposure and asset-backed securities, though the corporate exposure migrated toward a slightly higher allocation to loans versus bonds. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations are found in the consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors.

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, 2021 to April 30, 2022. 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, 2021 to April 30, 2022, 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, 2021 to April 30, 2022, 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 twenty 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, International Small Cap Growth Fund (commenced operations on March 31, 2022), Global Sustainable Equities Fund (commenced operations on December 17, 2021), 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 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, Global Equity Fund, International Small Cap Growth Fund, and Global Sustainable Equities 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

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
208


Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the respective Fund's NAV is not calculated.

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

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

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

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of April 30, 2022. 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, 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 2018 – 2021 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.

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,

www.calamos.com
211


Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

SMID or STBF, respectively, based on daily net assets. For the period ended April 30, 2022, the total advisory fees waived pursuant to such agreement were $499,198 for the Market Neutral Income Fund and are included in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Expense reductions".

As of April 30, 2022, the Market Neutral Income Fund had holdings of $334.0 million in STBF. During the period from November 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022, the Market Neutral Income Fund had net subscriptions of $75.0 million and earned $2.5 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.

Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to limit the annual ordinary operating expenses of each Fund as a percentage of the average daily net assets as follows:

As of April 30, 2022, the Market Neutral Income Fund held 88.1% of the outstanding shares 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, 2022.

Interfund Lending Program

The SEC has granted an exemptive order to the Funds permitting the Funds to participate in an interfund lending facility whereby participating Funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other (an "Interfund Loan") for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities "fails," resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the "InterFund Program"). The InterFund Program is subject to a number of conditions, which are discussed in detail in the Funds' statement of additional information. Any loan made through the InterFund Program is expected to be more beneficial to a borrowing Fund (i.e., at a lower interest rate) than borrowing from a bank and more beneficial to a lending Fund (i.e., at a higher rate of return) than an alternative short-term investment. The duration of an InterFund Loan will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days. In addition, each InterFund Loan may be called on one business day's notice by a lending Fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing Fund. No Interfund Loans were made during the period.

Joint Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2021, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds other than Global Sustainable Fund and International Small Cap Fund, entered into a $50,000,000 Demand Discretionary Credit Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Credit Agreement"). Effective May 10, 2022, Global Sustainable Fund and International Small Cap Fund were added to 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, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Please see the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for more information about the Credit Agreement.

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,

219


Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

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.

As of April 30, 2022, 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, 2022, the Fund had outstanding purchased options and/or written options as listed on the Schedules of Investments.

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 Interest 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.

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.

June 17, 2022

Chicago, Illinois

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 14, 2021, 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.
