About CTRIX

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund Class I is a multi-sector mutual fund focused on the fixed income market. Designed primarily for institutional investors and certain tax-exempt retirement plans, its chief objective is to achieve a high level of current income and total return, alongside capital preservation. The fund employs a disciplined, bond-by-bond portfolio construction strategy, supported by robust credit research that integrates both quantitative and qualitative analyses for a forward-looking credit assessment. The portfolio primarily invests in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities, including government and corporate bonds, as well as mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. However, it also has the flexibility to allocate assets to non-core sectors such as high yield bonds, bank loans, emerging market debt, and preferred securities, which can help enhance diversification and manage risk. With an effective duration of just under six years and monthly income distributions, the fund aims to serve as a cornerstone allocation within diversified fixed income portfolios. Calamos Total Return Bond Fund Class I is benchmarked against the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and is intended to generate returns across varying market cycles while maintaining a moderate risk profile.
