CGO: Revisiting This Fund Following The Election
The Calamos Global Total Return Fund yields 8.23% but has underperformed the MSCI World Index, making it less appealing for core portfolio positions. The fund's recent performance has been disappointing, with a 1.17% share price increase, underperforming both the S&P 500 and MSCI World Index. The United States may be poised to outperform foreign markets over the next year or two, yet this fund appears to be decreasing its U.S. exposure.

My 9.5% Income Portfolio CEFs And Classic Cars
Closed-end funds are special income vehicles, with many positive aspects and just as many weaknesses that take time to be properly understood and evaluated. I discovered their existence about ten years ago, and over time, I became convinced of their worth by developing a personal method of selection based mainly on NAV performance. This is an analytical, data-driven approach which I then extended to other types of securities in my portfolio, namely ETFs and BDCs.

An overview of the path each one has taken from launch to current market quotation with a personal assessment of the possible room for maneuver from those values.

CGO: Stretched Valuations Make This Fund A Hold (Rating Downgrade)
The Calamos Global Total Return CEF has rallied +33% since our 'Buy' rating, driven by a risk-on environment and lower yield curve. The fund's discount to NAV has narrowed significantly, now trading at fair value, making it less attractive for new entries. High allocations to semiconductor equities, which have seen stellar performance, now face stretched valuations, increasing risk for new investors.

CGO: This Excellent CEF Is Taking Advantage Of Foreign Opportunities
The Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a high level of income and inflation protection through a diversified portfolio of equities and convertible bonds. The fund's 8.34% yield and potential for share price appreciation make it attractive, despite a lower yield compared to peers. The fund appears to have been able to take advantage of recent strength in TSM, which it would not have been able to do without the foreign exposure.
