Calamos Founder, Chairman, and Global CIO John P. Calamos, Sr. pioneered investing in the convertible asset class over four decades ago, and the firm is the largest US manager of convertible securities.1 CVRT marks the first time Calamos will offer a convertible strategy in an ETF structure.
"We see tremendous opportunity across the ETF landscape, and it is fitting that one of our earliest products in this space reflects our convertibles heritage," said John Koudounis, President and CEO of Calamos Investments. "Calamos remains in growth mode, and we are excited about our product development pipeline."
Calamos offers the largest and most complete spectrum of convertible strategies in the marketplace, through the firm's income-oriented closed-end funds, balanced total-return-oriented mutual funds, and UCITS. "With CVRT, we will fill a gap in the ETF marketplace, extend our convertibles fund lineup, and meet financial advisor demand for a high-growth-oriented convertibles strategy," said Mr. Calamos.
"Unlike most convertible-based ETFs that offer passive exposure to the asset class, CVRT identifies equity-sensitive opportunities," said Matt Kaufman, SVP and Head of ETFs at Calamos. "We utilize a rules-based approach and apply our longstanding credit, convertible, and equity analysis processes to identify potential areas of outperformance within that equity-sensitive universe."
