Calamos Dynamic Convertible & Income Fund - CCD STOCK NEWS

Calamos has announced the launch of CBOJ, the world's first 100% downside protected Bitcoin ETF, scheduled for listing on CBOE on January 22, 2025. The ETF will utilize Treasuries and options on the CBOE Bitcoin US ETF Index, offering complete protection against negative bitcoin returns over a 12-month period while maintaining upside potential subject to a cap rate.

Building on their Structured Protection ETF series launched in 2024, CBOJ aims to address investor concerns about bitcoin's volatility. The ETF resets annually, providing a new upside cap and renewed downside protection for each subsequent 12-month period. With an annual expense ratio of 0.69%, CBOJ will be actively managed by Co-CIO Eli Pars and the Alternatives Team.

Calamos Investments has launched two new ETFs: CPSY (S&P 500® Structured Alt Protection ETF) and CPRY (Russell 2000® Structured Alt Protection ETF), offering 100% downside protection over one-year periods starting January 2, 2025. CPSY features a 7.57% upside cap rate, while CPRY offers a 9.59% cap rate.

Both ETFs come with a 0.69% annual expense ratio and are managed by Co-CIO Eli Pars and the Alternatives Team. The funds provide protected exposure to their respective indexes (S&P 500 and Russell 2000) and reset annually, offering new upside caps with refreshed protection. Gains grow tax-deferred and qualify for long-term capital gains rates if held longer than one year.

Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund (CCD) and two other Calamos funds will transition from managed to level distribution plans starting January 1, 2025. Under the new policy, CCD will maintain monthly distributions at 19.5 cents per share, while CHI and CHY will distribute 9.5 and 10 cents per share respectively.

The level distribution policy aims to provide stable, consistent, and predictable distribution rates. However, success depends on market conditions, interest rates, and overall market performance. Distributions may include return of capital if insufficient investment income is available, which could increase the funds' expense ratios. The funds may sell portfolio securities to meet distribution requirements, potentially at less opportune times.
