CPZ: Discount Has Appeal, But Not Enough

Calamos L/S Equity & Dynamic Inc Trust offers exposure to a dynamic portfolio, but has a portfolio that works against itself. Overall, I believe there are limited reasons to own the CPZ closed-end fund, and even those reasons come with their own issues. I believe there are alternatives where investors could put their capital to work and be more effective, including new Calamos "buffer ETFs."

CPZ: Very Unique Strategy, But No Reason To Buy This Over An Index

Calamos L/S Equity & Dynamic Inc. Trust offers a high level of current income with an 11.07% yield, higher than most equity-focused closed-end funds. The CPZ closed-end fund's recent performance has been disappointing, with a decline of 23.72% over the past three years. The fund's long-short equity strategy focuses on the technology sector and has been betting against the S&P 500 Index, which has paid off in the past year. However, the fund's overall performance has been crushed by major indices.
