Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for your investment in Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (CHY). Enclosed is the Fund’s annual report for the year ended October 31, 2007. We welcome this opportunity to communicate with you and recommend that you carefully review this report.

Recently, closed-end funds felt the impact of the credit storm as investors, wary of the ensuing market turmoil, participated in a significant sell off of closed-end fund shares. Although the Fund’s market price got caught up in the general downdraft, its net asset value (NAV) posted a gain of 11.31% for the year. Why does NAV matter? It matters because it reflects the fundamental quality of the portfolio and its ability to generate total return, which has a direct bearing on maintaining a level distribution. Despite the market challenges of recent months, the Fund has maintained a stable monthly distribution of at least $0.1219 per share since August 2003. As of October 31, 2007, this equated to an annualized distribution rate of 9.97% based on market price. We believe the Fund’s consistent NAV is a testament to the rigorous credit research and bottom-up analysis that has served the portfolio well in the recent, volatile environment—and throughout its history.

While we cannot predict how the credit crunch will continue to affect closed-end funds, we believe that the Fund continues to offer solid underlying fundamentals and a time-tested investment process. As we continue to do our job managing the net assets of the Fund, we believe more investors will take notice, and the market price will appropriately reflect the portfolio’s intrinsic value.

We encourage you to stay informed on a continual basis by visiting www.calamos.com for timely fund performance, portfolio details and market commentary. At our website, you can also sign up for e-delivery to receive important shareholder communications long before the printed copies get mailed.

Thank you for the continued confidence you have placed in our team, our investment process and Calamos Closed-End Funds. We will do our utmost to continue earning your trust and look forward to serving your long-term investment goals.

Sincerely,

John P. Calamos, Sr.
Chairman, CEO and Co-CIO

Convertible and High Income Fund	1
Letter to Shareholders     ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Review

For the latest market and economic outlook, please visit our website at www.calamos.com and select the “Individual Investors” link.

For the one-year reporting period, convertible securities and corporate bonds posted good gains. The Value Line Convertible Index¹ rose 11.05% and the CS High Yield Index² climbed 7.72% for the one-year period ended October 31, 2007. Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund earned 11.31% at net asset value.

Good global growth, corporate profitability and largely contained inflation provided ongoing support throughout the period. However, the economic landscape was also characterized by increasing uncertainty, a renewed appreciation for risk and a shift in investor sentiment. In February, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s comments about a potential for recession in the United States cast the global markets into turmoil. His remarks, paired with increased concern about the U.S. housing market, prompted investors to re-evaluate risk. Specifically, traditional growth companies were increasingly recognized for their stable earnings prospects and quality fundamentals.

Throughout the summer, concerns about risk mounted and uncertainty grew. Deteriorating conditions in the sub-prime mortgage market served as a catalyst for a global credit crisis. (Sub-prime mortgages are home loans made to borrowers with low credit scores or high amounts of debt; these loans represent a fraction of the total mortgage market.) A number of hedge funds, Wall Street players and their international counterparts were forced to reckon with their use of complex mortgage derivatives and off-balance sheet financing. Concerned by the lack of transparency in the credit markets, many participants became less willing to purchase debt instruments, particularly those linked to the sub-prime mortgage market. However, even higher-quality investments and those not directly affected by the mortgage market felt the sting of negative sentiment, although their fundamentals remained intact.

The Federal Reserve took decisive steps to maintain liquidity within the markets, including two reductions to the federal funds target rate. As the period progressed, the markets regained a degree of traction and resumed their advance and volatility declined somewhat.

Despite these challenges, the convertible market was quite healthy during the period. In fact, the varying conditions in the markets during the reporting period underscored the benefits of convertibles. Broadly speaking, convertible securities participated in the upward movement of the equity markets while demonstrating greater resiliency in downward markets. Convertibles tend to benefit from increased volatility, which we saw during the annual period. Speculative-grade convertibles outperformed investment-grade convertibles for the reporting period. However, investment-grade issues performed more strongly during the final months of the period as investors became more wary of credit-quality risk.

In contrast, the high-yield market was significantly challenged by risk-averse investors reacting to spreading troubles in the credit market. During the first portion of the reporting period, investor enthusiasm for high-yield bonds was robust. High-yield securities were supported by healthy earnings, a generally positive view by investors of the U.S. economy and a historically low default rate. New issuance remained strong as borrowers took advantage of low yields and high

demand from investors. Conditions changed abruptly in June as losses from sub-prime mortgage securities mounted. High-yield bonds came under considerable pressure as investors fled the sector in favor of government bonds and other high-quality securities.

For the one-year period overall, CCC rated bonds performed better than higher-rated, high-yield securities. However, the higher-rated tiers of the high-yield universe gained traction as the troubles in the sub-prime market rippled across the credit markets. Within the broad high-yield market, utilities and health care sectors led for the period and financials lagged.

At the close of the period, investors found themselves confronted by mixed data. In the United States, the housing market continues to languish, but this correction was not wholly unexpected. The Federal Reserve and other central banks responded proactively to the potential liquidity issues created by the credit crisis, but the magnitude and duration of the crisis is not yet fully known and will likely take many months to work its way fully through the economy. Energy prices continue to cast a shadow and have exacerbated uncertainty about future consumer spending. However, a rising equity market and robust exports should help offset declining home values and support ongoing spending.

Although the near-term view may be more uncertain, we continue to have a favorable long-term outlook on the U.S. economy. As we have discussed in our previous communications with shareholders, the strength of the U.S. economy is due in large measure to its diversification. Although the travails of the housing and automotive sectors have dominated the news, these sectors are a relatively small slice of the U.S. economy and it’s important to remember that the U.S. economy has weathered many industry-specific recessions without falling into a broader recession. Additionally, while gross domestic product (GDP) growth has declined from recovery levels, GDP growth has been respectable over recent quarters. Inflation remains contained, corporate balance sheets are still sound, and productivity and labor data are favorable. More over, the United States is a participant in a dynamic and growing global economy and that the strength of the global economy underpins our longer-term optimism.

Risk and uncertainty may be troubling concepts for many investors. However, three decades of experience in the markets underscores our belief that these conditions do not preclude long-term investment opportunity; rather, they provide a context for it. Our investment process seeks to understand and manage risk to create long-term wealth. Throughout the reporting period, this approach served the Fund shareholders in good stead and we believe the Fund is advantageously positioned for what lies ahead.

*	Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments, assuming reinvestment of income and capital gains distributions.
**	Annualized since inception.

Q. How did the Fund perform over the reporting period?

A. The underlying portfolio (as represented by net asset value, or NAV) of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (CHY) returned 11.31% for the one-year period. In contrast, the CS High Yield Index¹ gained 7.72%.

On a market price basis, the Fund returned -5.06% assuming reinvestment of distributions.

Q. Did the Fund provide steady income distributions throughout the period?

A. Throughout the period, the Fund provided shareholders with a steady income stream, with monthly distributions of $0.1219 per share. The Fund has provided monthly distributions of at least this level since August 2003. The Fund’s current annualized distribution rate was 9.97% based on closing market price as of October 31, 2007.

Q. What’s the difference between market return and NAV return?

A. Closed-end funds trade on exchanges, where the price of a share may be driven by factors other than the value of the underlying securities. The price of a share in the market is called the market value. The market price may be influenced by factors that are unrelated to the performance of the Fund’s holdings. For example, the market price may reflect investor sentiment or anxiety about certain parts of the market. During the reporting period, for example, problems in certain sectors of the bond markets (most notably, the mortgage market) created a cloud of negative sentiment that extended across much broader sections of the credit market.

We believe NAV returns are the more appropriate measure of a manager’s performance. The Fund’s NAV return measures the return of the individual securities within the portfolio less Fund expenses, but more importantly, it is a measure of how well the manager is able to avoid or capitalize on market disruptions or opportunities. The higher the return, the more value the Fund’s management team added through its security selection decisions.

Q. As of the close of the period, the Fund traded at a discount of 6.20%. In your opinion, how should investors view this discount?

A. A discount reflects market sentiment, which can be influenced by many factors unrelated to the performance of the Fund. During the past year, for example, the Fund’s NAV return beat the index by a wide margin, and the Fund maintained consistent distributions.

The widening of the discount during the reporting period is primarily attributable to a changing share price, and not a deterioration of NAV. In fact, the NAV of the Fund increased from $15.44 at the start of the period to $15.64 at the close. On top of this increase, the Fund continued to provide steady income, distributing $1.49 per share during the fiscal year.

Additionally, we would note that a discount affords investors the opportunity to buy shares at a price that is lower than the fair value of the portfolio (as measured by NAV).

Sector allocations are based on managed assets and may vary over time.

Q. In the Economic and Market Review, you explained that sub-prime mortgages and certain types of debt linked to the mortgage market fell steeply. Did the Fund invest in those types of securities?

A. The Fund did not invest in securities backed by sub-prime loans, including collateralized debt instruments and structured investment vehicles. These were the areas that came under the greatest pressure during the summer sell off.
Collateralized debt obligations are complex securities that represent an interest in pools of securities backed by mortgages, bonds, loans and other financial instruments. Structured investment vehicles are funded by debt; they profit by purchasing securities yielding more than the cost of capital.

We believed such areas of the market represented an undue level of risk and were concerned by their lack of transparency. This prudence served the Fund well during the period.

Q. Before you discuss the specific factors that influenced performance, how did you position the Fund during the period?

A. This Fund invests primarily in higher-yielding corporate bonds and convertible securities. We adjust the allocation based on our view of the economic landscape as

Convertible and High Income Fund

Investment Team Interview

well as the opportunity potential of individual securities. Across the portfolio, our individual security selection process focuses on issuers that offer respectable balance sheets, good prospects for sustainable growth, reliable debt servicing, and significant revenue exposure to non-U.S. economies, among other factors.

Throughout the period, we increased the Fund’s allocation to convertible securities; these represented approximately 52% of the portfolio at the close of the reporting period. Convertible securities offer the potential for upside appreciation in rising equity markets and potential downside protection in declining markets. They also typically benefit from increased equity market volatility. Meanwhile, we pared exposure to corporate bonds.

While we focus on delivering steady income to shareholders, we carefully evaluate each investment’s yield opportunity within the context of its potential risk. Reflecting this, the Fund’s corporate and convertible holdings are diversified across the credit spectrum. The majority of the Fund’s rated securities are clustered within the upper tiers of the below-investment-grade universe. We also hold positions in investment-grade securities (those rated BBB or higher.) We are particularly cautious in regards to the lowest tiers of the credit spectrum, reflecting our belief that the marginally higher yields are not enough to compensate for the additional risks in today’s credit markets.

QUALITY ALLOCATION

Weighted Average Credit Quality	BBB		-
AAA		0.0	%
AA		1.1
A		9.8
BBB		19.0

Data is based on a portion of portfolio holdings. Credit quality shown reflects the higher of the ratings of Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Ratings are relative, subjective and not absolute standards of quality. Excludes equity securities, options, cash and short- term investments.

Q. What factors enhanced performance?

A. Our comprehensive credit research led us to solid performers across sectors. The Fund’s industrial holdings provided a significant contribution. Within economically sensitive sectors (which are more vulnerable to cyclical changes), we often utilize convertible securities. In addition to their equity participation, we believe the convertibles offer better downside protection in areas of the market where we may see more risks. During the period, convertibles in the industrials sector, as well as in the energy and materials sectors, served the Fund in good stead.

Many of the Fund’s holdings in financials provided a notable boost. Strong performers included holdings in diversified insurers, re-insurers, and investment banking and brokerage industries. These areas were less vulnerable to the credit crunch and tight credit spreads.

Information technology companies posted good gains as well. Leaders included globally recognized companies with compelling prospects for earnings and revenues. We chose these companies because we believed they were well positioned to benefit from long-term secular trends. For example, in a competitive global economy, we expect corporations will continue to invest in products and services that will enhance their productivity. This should provide a tailwind for select information companies in a range of industries.

Q. What factors hindered performance?

A. Although the Fund’s financials stake made a positive contribution to performance through our individual security selection, the Fund’s overweight to the sector hindered performance relative to the CS High Yield Index.

As we noted, our pursuit of yield is informed by our risk-conscious discipline. We were therefore underweighted in the most speculative areas of the high-yield universe, relative to the CS High Yield Index. While the performance of lower-quality and higher-grade securities evened out a bit more as the reporting period progressed, lower-quality securities outperformed for the overall period; and our quality bias tempered performance.

Q. Please explain how the Fund employs leverage and how the Fund’s leverage strategy contributed to performance.

A. Leverage strategies continued to contribute favorably to the returns earned by the Fund’s common shareholders despite the turmoil in the credit markets. Leverage strategies typically entail borrowing at short-term interest rates and investing the proceeds at higher rates of return.

Because of the turmoil in the credit market, many investors have a heightened apprehension about strategies that employ leverage. During the reporting period, concerns about creditworthiness cut a wide swath in the credit market. For a time, even the short-term, high-quality market came under pressure. In this environment, the cost of the Fund’s leverage increased. However, as the period progressed, the cost of leverage returned to more normal levels, as investors were reassured by the Federal Reserve’s decisive moves to maintain liquidity through reductions to the discount and target rates.

To reduce the Fund’s borrowing-cost sensitivity to changes in interest rates, we have used interest rate swaps. Through interest rate swaps, we locked in a portion of the Fund’s current leverage earlier in the interest rate cycle, when rates were lower. (Please see the “Leverage” section of this report for more information on the Fund’s use of leverage and interest rate swaps.). As short-term rates have risen, the locks help the Fund keep borrowing costs low. As these swaps begin to roll off, we anticipate the Fund will see an uptick in the cost of leverage. That said, more recently, we have seen the Federal Open Market Committee begin to reduce short-term borrowing costs; this could help mitigate the cost of leverage moving forward.

Q. In a more uncertain market environment, what is your outlook for the Fund?

A. We believe the Fund is well positioned. It’s important to remember that risk and uncertainty are part of the investment markets. As investment managers, we seek to add value by understanding risk and managing it for the long-term benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

Convertible and High Income Fund
Investment Team Interview     ANNUAL REPORT 7

Investment Team Interview

We have a high degree of conviction in the Fund’s positioning and emphasis on risk management. As the past year demonstrated, the Fund’s dynamic strategy allowed Fund shareholders to receive steady income and growth in NAV—despite the rising uncertainty in the credit markets and the U.S. economy.

Indeed, we believe the Fund’s dynamic allocation approach is particularly advantageous in the current market climate. The Fund’s ability to invest in higher-yielding convertible securities, as well as straight (or non-convertible) corporate bonds provides us with a broader universe of securities from which to construct the Fund’s portfolio.

Against the backdrop of a rising equity market, we maintain a positive outlook for the convertible markets. Valuations have appreciated since 2006 but remain fair, and issuance trends have been favorable. Currently, a good portion of convertibles offer what we consider optimal characteristics, that is, a good mix of upside participation and downside safety.

Our view on the broad corporate bond market is more cautious and we believe individual security selection will be particularly important. The credit crisis of the summer will take time to work out, and many of the most speculative credits may not offer suitably high compensation for the risk they entail. However, as we discussed in the Economic and Market Review, we believe U.S. companies are in good shape overall; this strength should provide support for the corporate bond market. We believe that opportunity remains and that our rigorous and proprietary credit research will be of considerable benefit in uncovering securities with attractive yields and reasonable risk.

20 Convertible and High Income Fund
ANNUAL REPORT     Statements of Changes in Net Assets

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization. CALAMOS Convertible and High Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 12, 2003 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on May 28, 2003.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of convertible and non-convertible income securities. “Managed assets” means the Fund’s total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage).

Portfolio Valuation. Calamos Advisors LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (“Calamos Advisors”), oversees the valuation of the Fund’s portfolio securities in accordance with policies and procedures on the valuation of securities adopted by and under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees.

Portfolio securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the last current reported sales price at the time as of which a Fund determines its net asset value (“NAV”). Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), as determined by NASDAQ, or lacking a NOCP, the last current reported sale price on NASDAQ at the time as of which a Fund determines its NAV.

When a most recent last sale or closing price is not available, portfolio securities, other than option securities, that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange and other securities traded in the OTC market are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Each option security traded on a U.S. securities exchange is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security, also in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Each OTC option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued based on a quotation provided by the counterparty to such option under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees.

Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and OTC markets is typically completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Each security trading on these exchanges or OTC markets is evaluated utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The valuation of each security that meets certain criteria in relation to the valuation model is systematically adjusted to reflect the impact of movement in the U.S. market after the foreign markets close. Securities that do not meet the criteria, or that are principally traded in other foreign markets, are valued as of the last current sale price at the time as of which the Fund determines its NAV, or when reliable market prices or quotations are not readily available, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time, in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Trading of foreign securities may not take place on every NYSE business day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the Fund’s NAV is not calculated.

If the pricing committee determines that the valuation of a security in accordance with the methods described above is not reflective of a fair value for such security, the security, including any thinly-traded security, below investment grade bond or synthetic convertible instrument, is valued at a fair value by the pricing committee, under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees, following the guidelines and/or procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

The Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees and under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees, if the value of a foreign security it holds is materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the primary markets or exchanges on which the security is traded. Those procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees, which may be based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities that are generally recognized by institutional traders, a computerized matrix system, or appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those securities.

Convertible and High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements     ANNUAL REPORT 21

Notes to Financial Statements

When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices. In light of the judgment involved in fair valuations there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate.

Investment Transactions. Short-term and long-term investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of October 31, 2007. Net realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized using the accrual method and includes accretion of original issue and market discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available.

Foreign Currency Translation. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using a rate quoted by a major bank or dealer in the particular currency market, as reported by a recognized quotation dissemination service.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Recorded net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from disposition of foreign currency, the difference in the foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the ex-date or accrual date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at period end.

Option Transactions. For hedging and investment purposes, the Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a written call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a written put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Allocation of Expenses Among Funds. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund; certain other expenses of Calamos Investment Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund and Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund are allocated proportionately among each fund in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

22 Convertible and High Income Fund
ANNUAL REPORT      Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Fund’s policy is to continue to qualify as regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting on fixed income securities. The financial statements are not adjusted for temporary differences.

Indemnifications. Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the Fund is obligated to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities incurred by them by reason of having been an officer or trustee of the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Fund’s management expects the risk of material loss in connection to a potential claim to be remote.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and their disclosures, and its impact has not yet been determined.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISER AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES OR CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC (“Calamos Advisors”), the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.80% based on the average weekly managed assets. Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average weekly managed assets of the Fund for the first five full years of the Fund’s operation (through May 31, 2008) and to waive a declining amount for an additional three years (0.07% of the average weekly managed assets in 2009, 0.05% in 2010, and 0.03% in 2011). For the year ended October 31, 2007, the total advisory fee waived pursuant to such agreement was $1,473,216, and is in the statement of operations under the caption “Less expense reduction”.

Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee charged to the Fund on the Fund’s investments in the Calamos Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF,” an affiliated fund and a series of Calamos Investments Trust), equal to the advisory fee attributable to the Fund’s investment in GMMF, based on daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the total advisory fee waived pursuant to such agreement was $35,389 and is included in the statement of operations under the caption “Less expense reduction”.

Pursuant to a financial accounting services agreement, the Fund also pays Calamos Advisors a fee for financial accounting services payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.0175% on the first $1 billion of combined assets; 0.0150% on the next $1 billion of combined assets and 0.0110% on combined assets above $2 billion (for purposes of this calculation “combined assets” means the sum of the total average daily net assets of Calamos Investment Trust and Calamos Advisors Trust, and the total average weekly managed

assets of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund and Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund). Financial accounting services include, but are not limited to, the following: managing expenses and expenses payment processing; monitoring the calculation of expense accrual amounts; calculating, tracking and reporting tax adjustments on all assets; and monitoring trustee deferred compensation plan accruals and valuations. The Fund pays its pro rata share of the financial accounting services fee to Calamos Advisors based on the Fund’s respective managed assets and/or net assets used in calculating the fee.

The Fund reimburses Calamos Advisors for a portion of compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of “Trustees’ fee and officer compensation” expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Included in the statement of operations under the caption “Less expense reduction” are expense offsets of $37,226, arising from credits on cash balances maintained on deposit with the Fund’s custodian.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Calamos Financial Services LLC (“CFS”) and Calamos Advisors. All such officers and affiliated trustees serve without direct compensation from the Fund, except for the Chief Compliance Officer as described above.

The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan). Under the Plan, a trustee who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund and has elected to participate in the Plan (a “participating trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation from the Fund. The deferred compensation payable to the participating trustee is credited to the trustee’s deferral account as of the business day such compensation would have been paid to the participating trustee. The value of amount deferred for a participating trustee is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more funds of Calamos Investment Trust designated by the participant. The value of the account increases with contributions to the account or with increases in the value of the measuring shares, and the value of the account decreases with withdrawals from the account or with declines in the value of the measuring shares. Deferred compensation investments of $54,573 is included in “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2007. The Fund’s obligation to make payments under the Plan is a general obligation of the Fund and is included in “Payable for deferred compensation to Trustees” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2007.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

The following information is presented on a Federal income tax basis as of October 31, 2007. Differences between the cost basis under U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences.

NOTE 6 – FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates by entering into foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include, among other things, movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. The net unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. The contracts are valued daily at forward foreign exchange rates and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when a position is closed or upon settlement of the contracts. There were no open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2007.

NOTE 7 – PREFERRED SHARES

There are unlimited shares of Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”) authorized. The Preferred Shares have rights as determined by the Board of Trustees. The 17,200 shares of Preferred Shares outstanding consist of six series, 3,000 shares of M, 3,000 shares of TU, 3,000 shares of W, 3,000 shares of TH, 3,000 shares of F, 2,200 shares of A. The Preferred Shares have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared.

Dividends on the Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate typically reset every seven or twenty-eight days based on the results of an auction. Dividend rates ranged from 4.70% to 5.30% for the year ended October 31, 2007. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not declare dividends or make other distributions on its common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares would be less than 200%.

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the Fund’s option, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of the Fund as set forth in the Statement of Preferences are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class except on matters affecting only the holders of Preferred Shares or only the holders of common shares, when the respective classes vote alone.

NOTE 8 – INTEREST RATE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund may engage in swaps primarily to manage duration and yield curve risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of the swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller.

Premiums paid to or by the Fund are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) when paid on swaps in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The contracts are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts.

If the Fund is required to terminate any swap or cap early due to the Fund failing to maintain a required 200% asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding Preferred Shares or the Fund loses its credit rating on its Preferred Shares, then the Fund could be required to make a termination payment, in additional to redeeming all or some of the Preferred Shares.

As of October 31, 2007, the Fund had outstanding swaps agreements as listed below.

							Unrealized

NOTE 9 – SECURITIES LENDING

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund loaned one or more of its securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned by the Fund. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the collateral. The Fund may pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Fund for services in arranging these loans. The Fund has the right to call the loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not less than five business days. The Fund does not have the right to vote the securities during the existence of the loan but could call the loan in an attempt to permit voting of the securities in certain circumstances. Upon return of the securities loaned, the cash or cash equivalent collateral will be returned to the borrower. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses, including (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period, and (c) the expenses of enforcing its rights. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business on the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Fund’s security lending agent monitors and reports to Calamos Advisors on the creditworthiness of the firms to which the Fund lends securities. At October 31, 2007, the Fund had securities valued at $130,750,267 on loan to broker-dealers and banks and $135,471,000 in cash or cash equivalent collateral.

NOTE 10- SYNTHETIC CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

The Fund may establish a “synthetic” convertible instrument by combining separate securities that possess the economic characteristics similar to a convertible security, i.e., fixed-income securities (“fixed-income component”, which may be a convertible or non-convertible security) and the right to acquire equity securities (“convertible component”). The fixed-income component is achieved by investing in fixed income securities such as bonds, preferred stocks and money market instruments. The convertible component is achieved by investing in warrants or options to buy common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. In establishing a synthetic instrument, the Fund may pool a basket of fixed-income securities and a basket of warrants or options that produce the economic characteristics similar to a convertible security. Within each basket of fixed-income securities and warrants or options, different companies may issue the fixed-income and convertible components, which may be purchased separately and at different times.

The Fund may also purchase synthetic securities created by other parties, typically investment banks, including convertible structured notes. Convertible structured notes are fixed-income debentures linked to equity. Convertible structured notes have the attributes of a convertible security; however, the investment bank that issued the convertible note assumes the credit risk associated with the investment, rather than the issuer of the underlying common stock into which the note is convertible. Purchasing synthetic convertible securities may offer more flexibility than purchasing a convertible security.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of CALAMOS Convertible and High Income Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years then ended and for the period from May 28, 2003 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2003. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years then ended and for the period from May 28, 2003 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of the Fund oversees the Fund’s management, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to continue the Fund’s management agreement with Calamos Advisors under which Calamos Advisors serves as the investment manager and administrator for the Fund. The “Independent Trustees,” who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with Calamos Advisors.

In connection with their most recent consideration regarding the continuation of the management agreement, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Calamos Advisors in response to detailed requests of the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel. In the course of their consideration of the agreement, the Independent Trustees were advised by their counsel and, in addition to meeting with management of Calamos Advisors, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting on June 22, 2007, based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and Calamos Advisors were fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Calamos Advisors and its affiliates, the fees charged for those services and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved continuation of the management agreement through July 31, 2008, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in the agreement.

In considering the continuation of the management agreement, the Trustees reviewed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered the sole factor in the Trustees’ determinations. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the continuation of the management agreement are discussed separately below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Trustees reviewed the nature, extent and quality of Calamos Advisors’ services to the Fund, taking into account the Fund’s investment objective and strategy and their knowledge gained from their regular meetings with management on at least a quarterly basis and their ongoing review of information related to the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed Calamos Advisors’ resources and key personnel, especially those who provide investment management services to the Fund. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Fund by Calamos Advisors, such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, serving as the Fund’s administrator, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Board and Board committees, communicating with shareholders, overseeing the activities of other service providers, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. In addition, the Trustees considered compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.

The Trustees concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided or to be provided to the Fund by Calamos Advisors were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the management agreement and that the Fund was likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services.

Performance of the Fund

The Trustees considered the Fund’s performance results over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing the performance of the Fund with the performance of a universe of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, and with the Fund’s benchmark. The Trustees discussed Fund performance with representatives of Calamos Advisors, who provided additional information with regard to certain aspects of the Lipper materials.

ANNUAL REPORT     Trustee Approval of Management Agreement

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited)

The Trustees noted that, although the Fund’s total return placed it in the fourth quintile of the corresponding performance universe for each of the one- and two-year periods, it placed in the first quintile for the three-year period. The Trustees concluded that, although past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, the favorable longer-term performance record of the Fund was an important factor in the Trustees’ evaluation of the quality of services provided by Calamos Advisors under the management agreement.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by Calamos Advisors

The Trustees examined information regarding the Fund’s fees and expenses in comparison to corresponding information for comparable funds as provided by Lipper. Also, the Trustees reviewed information on fees and expenses for additional funds identified by Calamos Advisors. The Trustees noted that, although the Fund’s contractual rate of management fees and actual management fees for common shares were higher than the peer group medians, the Fund’s overall expense ratio and actual management fees for common and preferred shares were lower than the peer group medians.

The Trustees also reviewed the rates of management fees charged by Calamos Advisors to its separate accounts and to its subadvised funds (for which Calamos Advisors provides portfolio management services only). Although in most instances its sub-advisory fees, and in many instances its separate account fees, for various comparable investment strategies are lower than the management fees charged to the Fund, the Trustees noted that Calamos Advisors performs significant additional services for the Fund that it does not provide to those other clients. Those services include administrative services, oversight of the Fund’s other service providers, trustee support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services. The Trustees also considered that, in serving the Fund, Calamos Advisors assumes many risks that it does not assume in servicing its other clients.

The Trustees considered the methodology used by Calamos Advisors in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers, the competitive environment for investment management talent, and the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.

The Trustees reviewed information on the profitability of Calamos Advisors in serving as the Fund’s investment manager and of Calamos Advisors and its affiliates in all of their relationships with the Fund, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the Fund and other business units. Data was provided to the Trustees with respect to profitability, both on a pre- and post-marketing cost basis. The Trustees also reviewed the annual report of Calamos Advisors’ parent company and discussed its corporate structure. The Trustees recognized that profitability comparisons among fund managers are difficult because very little comparative information is publicly available and profitability of any manager is affected by numerous factors, including the particular manager’s organizational structure, the types of funds and other accounts it manages, possible other lines of business, the methodology for allocating expenses and the manager’s capital structure and cost of capital. However, based on the information available and taking those factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the profitability of Calamos Advisors with respect to the Fund in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

The Trustees concluded that the management fees payable by the Fund to Calamos Advisors were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable funds with similar strategies and the fees Calamos Advisors charges to other clients. The Trustees also concluded that the Fund’s overall expense ratio was reasonable in light of the quality and extent of services provided by Calamos Advisors, the size of the Fund and the Fund’s investment performance.

Economies of Scale

In reviewing the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Trustees examined the potential benefits of economies of scale and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Fund’s fee structure. They noted that the Fund has had a relatively stable asset base since commencement of operation and that there do not appear to have been any significant economies of scale realized since that time.

Other Benefits to Calamos Advisors

The Trustees also considered benefits that accrue to Calamos Advisors and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by Calamos Advisors and its affiliates pursuant to their agreements with the Fund and the fees payable by the Fund therefor, the Fund and Calamos Advisors may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. The Trustees also considered Calamos Advisors’ use of commissions paid by the Fund on its portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain proprietary research products and services benefiting the Fund and/or other clients of Calamos Advisors. The Trustees concluded, based on reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, that Calamos Advisors’ use of “soft” commission dollars to obtain research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in considering the management arrangements, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the management agreement with Calamos Advisors was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

About Closed-End Funds

What is a Closed-End Fund?

A closed-end fund is a publicly traded investment company that raises its initial investment capital through the issuance of a fixed number of shares to investors in a public offering. Shares of a closed-end fund are listed on a stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market. Like all investment companies, a closed-end fund is professionally managed and offers investors a unique investment solution based on its investment objective approved by the fund’s Board of Directors.

Potential Advantages of Closed-End Fund Investing

• Defined Asset Pool Allows Efficient Portfolio Management—Although closed-end fund shares trade actively on a securities exchange, this doesn’t affect the closed-end fund manager because there are no new investors buying into or selling out of the fund’s portfolio.

• More Flexibility in the Timing and Price of Trades—Investors can purchase and sell shares of closed-end funds throughout the trading day, just like the shares of other publicly traded securities.

• Lower Expense Ratios—The expense ratios of closed-end funds are oftentimes less than those of mutual funds. Over time, a lower expense ratio could enhance investment performance.

• Closed-End Structure Makes Sense for Less-Liquid Asset Classes—A closed-end structure makes sense for investors considering less-liquid asset classes, such as high-yield bonds or micro-cap stocks.

• Ability to Put Leverage to Work—Closed-end funds may issue senior securities (such as preferred shares or debentures) or borrow money to “leverage” their investment positions.

• No Minimum Investment Requirements

OPEN-END MUTUAL FUNDS VERSUS CLOSED-END FUNDS

Leverage

Using Leverage to Enhance Total Return

Closed-end funds can use leverage which utilizes borrowed money in an attempt to increase the return on invested capital. The Fund invests the borrowed assets into securities, which we believe will provide a greater total return to investors than the cost of the borrowing.

Highlights on Leverage

• Leveraging the portfolio allows the investment team to potentially enhance the income and total returns of the Fund.

• In a rising-rate environment, the cost of leverage typically increases. To protect against increases, the investment team has locked in the cost of leverage for a longer term. In leveraged closed-end funds that invest in interest-rate sensitive securities (high-quality traditional fixed income), rising rates can negatively impact a fund in two ways: increasing the cost of leverage and decreasing the value of securities.

• This portfolio does not have notable sensitivity to rising interest rates. Much of the cost of leverage has been locked in, and the portfolio seeks to invest in securities that should be more economically sensitive and less interest rate-sensitive.

Managing the Interest Rate Risk of Leverage

In general, leverage can expose a closed-end fund to the risk of fluctuations in short-term interest rates. As we discussed in the Investment Team Interview, Calamos Advisors has taken steps to mitigate some of this risk to our shareholders. Specifically, we hedged the Fund’s preferred shares (used these shares as principal) to enter into interest rate swap agreements. In its simplest form, an interest rate swap involves two parties agreeing to exchange or “swap” one set of cash flows for another set. In essence, the agreement allows a party that desires to avoid a variable rate (the Fund) to pay a fixed rate to a party that desires variability.

Under these agreements, the Fund pays a potentially higher rate for borrowing initially, but that rate is fixed for a period of three to five years, thereby potentially reducing the interest costs that the Fund would otherwise pay over the period based on a floating or variable rate.

ANNUAL REPORT     Leverage

Level Rate Distribution Policy

Using a Level Rate Distribution Policy to Promote Dependable Income and Total Return

The goal of the level rate distribution policy is to provide investors a predictable, though not assured, level of cash flow, which can either serve as a stable income stream or, through reinvestment, contribute significantly to long-term total return.

We understand the importance that investors place on the stability of dividends and their ability to contribute to long-term total return, which is why we have instituted a level rate distribution policy for the Fund. Under the policy, monthly distributions paid may include net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and, if necessary, return of capital. In addition, a limited number of distributions per calendar year may include net realized long-term capital gains. There is no guarantee that the Fund will realize capital gains in any given year. Distributions are subject to re-characterization for tax purposes after the end of the fiscal year. All shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for distributions via Form 1099-DIV.

Distributions from the Fund are generally subject to Federal income taxes. For purposes of maintaining the level rate distribution policy, the Fund may realize short-term capital gains on securities that, if sold at a later date, would have resulted in long-term capital gains. Maintenance of a level rate distribution policy may increase transaction and tax costs associated with the Fund.

The registrant’s portfolio managers are responsible for managing the registrant and other accounts, including separate accounts and unregistered funds.

Other than potential conflicts between investment strategies, the side-by-side management of both the Fund and other accounts may raise potential conflicts of interest due to the interest held by Calamos Advisors in an account and certain trading practices used by the portfolio managers (e.g., cross trades between a Fund and another account and allocation of aggregated trades). Calamos Advisors has developed policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate those conflicts. For example, Calamos Advisors will only place cross-trades in securities held by the Fund in accordance with the rules promulgated under the 1940 Act and has adopted policies designed to ensure the fair allocation of securities purchased on an aggregated basis.

The portfolio managers advise certain accounts under a performance fee arrangement. A performance fee arrangement may create an incentive for a portfolio manager to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of performance fees. A performance fee arrangement may result in increased compensation to the portfolio managers from such accounts due to unrealized appreciation as well as realized gains in the client’s account.

(a)(3) Calamos Advisors has developed and implemented a number of incentives that reward the professional staff to ensure that key employees are retained. Calamos Advisors’ senior management has established salary, short and long term incentive programs and benefit programs that we believe are competitive. Calamos Advisors’ incentive programs are based on investment performance, professional performance and an individual’s overall contribution. These goals and measures are established and reviewed on an annual basis during performance reviews. As of October 31, 2007, each portfolio manager receives compensation in the form of an annual base salary and a discretionary target bonus, each payable in cash. Their discretionary target bonus is set at a percentage of the respective base salary. The amounts paid to the portfolio managers and the criteria utilized to determine the amounts are benchmarked against industry specific data provided by a third party analytical agency. The compensation structure does not differentiate between the Funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and is determined on an overall basis, taking into consideration the performance of the various strategies managed by the portfolio managers. Portfolio performance, as measured by risk-adjusted portfolio performance, is utilized to determine the discretionary target bonus, as well as overall performance of Calamos Advisors. Portfolio managers are eligible to receive annual non-equity awards under a long term incentive compensation program, set at a percentage of the respective base salary.

(a)(4) As of October 31, 2007, the end of the registrant’s most recently completed fiscal year, the dollar range of securities beneficially owned by each portfolio manager in the registrant is shown below:

PORTFOLIO MANAGER	REGISTRANT
John P. Calamos, Sr.	over $1,000,000

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND
SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

I. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

     This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) for the investment companies within the Calamos Investment Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund (collectively the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”) applies to the Funds’ Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (the “Covered Officers”), or those performing similar functions, for the purpose of promoting:

• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

• full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and in other public communications made by a Fund;

• compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

• prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

• accountability for adherence to the Code.

     Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. Administration of the Code

     The Code shall be administered by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds’ adviser (the “Code Officer”). In the absence of the Code Officer, his or her designee shall serve as the Code Officer, but only on a temporary basis.

     Each Fund has designated its chief legal officer (the “Chief Legal Officer”) for purposes of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The Chief Legal Officer shall assist the Code Officer in administration of this Code. The Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it (in consultation with Fund counsel, where appropriate)

and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any waiver sought by a Covered Officer with respect to any Fund must be approved by the Audit Committee of the Fund (the “Audit Committee”).

III. Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

     Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his/her service to, a Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a family member, receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Officer’s position with a Fund.

     Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and a Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers generally may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with a Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Fund. A Fund’s and its investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

     Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Fund and its investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Fund or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and a Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of a Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Company Act and the Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds’ Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

     Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions of the Company Act and the Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

     Each Covered Officer must:

• not use personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer or a family member would benefit personally to the detriment of a Fund;

2

• not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer or a family member rather than the benefit of the Fund;

• not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

• not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for a Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.¹

     There are some potential conflict of interest situations that must be approved by the Code Officer, after consultation with the Chief Legal Officer. Those situations include, but are not limited to:

• service as director on the board of any public for-profit company;

• any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service provider, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and

• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

     There are some potential conflict of interest situations that should be discussed with the Code Officer, if material. Those situations include, but are not limited to:

• receipt of any gift of substantial value (more than $100), a cash payment in any amount, a preferred personal investment opportunity, or other thing of more than de minimis value from any person or entity that does business, or is seeking to do business with a Fund or its investment adviser; and

• receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings, unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety.

     It is not the intent of this Code to prohibit the ordinary courtesies of business life, such as token gifts or modest entertainment incidental to a business relationship.

¹ For purposes of this Code, personal trading activity of the Covered Officers shall be monitored in accordance with the Funds’ code. Each Covered Officer shall be considered an “Access Person” under such Code.

3

IV. Disclosure and Compliance

     Each Covered Officer should:

• be familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

• not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about any Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

• to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

• promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

V. Reporting and Accountability

     Each Covered Officer must:

• upon adoption of the Code (or after becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he/she has received, read and understands the Code;

• annually thereafter affirm to the Board compliance with the requirements of the Code;

• notify the Code Officer promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code; and

• respond to the trustee and officer questionnaires circulated periodically in connection with the preparation of disclosure documents for the Funds.

     The Code Officer shall maintain records of all activities related to this Code.

     The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

• The Code Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him/her;

• If, after such investigation, the Code Officer believes that no violation has occurred, no further action is required;

• Any matter that the Code Officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Audit Committee;

4

• If the Audit Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to the Chief Executive Officer of the Funds; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

• The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers in its sole discretion; and

• Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

VI. Other Policies and Procedures

     This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for the purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other polices or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ advisers, principal underwriter or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy of Funds and their investment advisers and principal underwriter under Rule 17j-1 under the Company Act and the advisers’ more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.

VII. Amendments

     Any amendment to this Code must be approved or ratified by the Board, including a majority of independent Board members.

VIII. Confidentiality

     All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, the Covered Officers, the Code, outside audit firms and legal counsel to the Funds and the adviser, and senior management of the adviser.

IX. Internal Use

     The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Adoption: March 2, 2004

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

September 20, 2007

Calamos Advisors LLC, Calamos Partners LLC and Calamos Wealth Management LLC (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Calamos”), as an investment adviser to clients who have granted them proxy voting discretion (including, in the case of Calamos Advisors LLC the Calamos mutual funds and closed-end funds (the “Funds”)), have adopted these proxy voting policies and procedures to help satisfy its fiduciary duties relating to proxy voting. Calamos recognizes the importance of maximizing and protecting the interests of its clients through its voting practices and of helping build stronger corporate governance within the companies in which its clients invest. To that end, these policies and procedures seek to further the voting of proxies in the best interests of our clients as investors.

I. Responsibility of Calamos to Vote Proxies

A.

Delegation of Duties Calamos has delegated its administrative duties with respect to analysis and voting proxies to its Proxy Group of its Risk Management Group within Portfolio Management Department (the “Proxy Group”) and to its Corporate Actions Group within the Portfolio Management Department (“Corporate Actions”).

B.

Responsibilities of the Proxy Group The Proxy Group’s duties consist of analyzing proxy statements of issuers whose stock is owned by any client (including the Calamos Funds and any separate accounts managed by Calamos) that has delegated proxy voting administrative responsibility to Calamos and recommending how proxy votes should be cast. Unless otherwise directed by the client, the Proxy Group seeks to vote all proxies in the best interests of the client in terms of the perceived effect of the vote on the value of the client’s investment. The Proxy Group shall have responsibility for:

(i) reviewing proxy statements for issuers in which Advisory Clients and/or the Calamos Funds invest;

(ii) reviewing any and all relevant other information provided by the issuer or third parties regarding any proposals; and

(iii) making a recommendation as to how shares should be voted.

C. Responsibilities of Corporate Actions Based on the guidance provided by the Proxy Group, Corporate Actions will process proxy votes on behalf of, and vote proxies solely in the interests of, the Calamos Funds, separate account clients, or, where employee benefit plan assets are involved, in the interests of the plan participants and beneficiaries (collectively, “Advisory Clients”) that have properly delegated such responsibility to Calamos. Corporate Actions shall have responsibility for:

(i)	identifying potential conflicts of interest and referring them to the Proxy Review Committee for resolution (as described in Section III, below);
(ii)	maintaining appropriate records pursuant to these procedures and SEC rules;
(iii)	voting proxies as directed by the Proxy Group or Proxy Review Committee; and

(iv) overseeing the voting process.

C.	Voting of Proxies All proxies received by the Proxy Group will be voted by Corporate Actions based upon Calamos’ instructions and/or policies. To assist it in analyzing proxies, Calamos subscribes to Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), an unaffiliated third party corporate governance research service that provides in-depth analyses of shareholder meeting agendas, vote recommendations, record keeping and vote disclosure services. Although ISS’ analyses are thoroughly reviewed and considered in making a final voting decision, Calamos does not consider recommendations from ISS, or any other third party, to be determinative of Calamos’ ultimate decision. As a matter of policy, the officers, directors and employees of Calamos and the Proxy Group will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict may with the interests of Advisory Clients.
E.	Voting of Proxies on Securities Not Held The Proxy Group will also decide whether to vote proxies for securities that are sold following a record date, but before a shareholder meeting date. In most cases, Calamos will not vote securities not held on the shareholder meeting date. The Proxy Group may, however, consider various factors in deciding whether to vote such proxies, including Calamos’ long-term view of the issuer’s securities for investment.
F.	Securities Lending Certain Calamos Funds and Advisory Client accounts may participate in securities lending programs with various counterparties. If a fund or account participates in a securities lending program, the Proxy Group may attempt to recall the portfolio securities and vote proxies relating to such securities under certain circumstances. For example, if the Proxy Group determines that the votes involve matters that could have a material effect on the fund’s or account’s investment in such loaned securities. There can be no guarantee that any such securities can be retrieved for such purpose. With respect to securities lending transactions, the Proxy Group seeks to balance the economic benefits of continuing to participate in an open securities lending transaction against the inability to vote proxies. As a result, Calamos generally will not attempt to recall portfolio securities to vote proxies relating to routine matters.
G.	Fund of Funds Calamos Multi-Fund Blend is structured as a fund of funds and invests its assets in shares of other Calamos Funds. The Proxy Group will vote Calamos Multi-Fund Blend shares in the underlying Calamos Funds in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders in the underlying Calamos Fund.
H.	Securities of Foreign Issuers In certain foreign jurisdictions the voting of proxies on portfolio securities may result in additional restrictions that may have an economic impact or cost to the security holder. We believe that in some instances the best interest of our clients is served by abstaining or not voting such proxies. Examples of issues unique to foreign securities include, but are not limited to, the following

(i)

Share Blocking In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, a security holder that votes a proxy is prohibited from selling the security until the meeting for which the proxy has been voted is completed. This period of time may range from days to weeks. Since this blocking of sales prevents the sale of a security regardless of market conditions and developments, we believe it increases risk. Therefore, it often may be in the best interests of our investors not to vote such proxies. Whether we vote such proxies will be determined on a case by case basis.

(ii)

Lack of Notice or Information Foreign regulations do not standardize the notification period for a proxy vote. In some instances, the notice period is so short that we cannot research the issues presented. In instances where we have insufficient notice to permit us to cast a reasoned vote, we will abstain from voting on particular issues or not vote at all.

II. Conflicts of Interest

A. Identification of Conflicts of Interest All conflicts of interest will be resolved in the interests of the Advisory Clients. Calamos makes its best efforts to avoid conflicts of interest. However, conflicts of interest can arise in situations where:

(i)	The issuer is a client of Calamos or its affiliates;
(ii)	The issuer is a vendor whose products or services are material or significant to the business of Calamos or its affiliates;
(iii)	The issuer is an entity participating, or which may participate, in the distribution of investment products advised, administered or sponsored by Calamos or its affiliates (e.g., a broker, dealer or bank);
(iv)	An employee of Calamos or its affiliates, or an immediate family member of such employee, also serves as a director or officer of the issuer;
(v)	A director of Calamos Asset Management, Inc. or a Trustee of a Calamos Fund, or an immediate family member of such director or trustee, also serves as an officer or director of the issuer; or
(vi)	The issuer is Calamos Asset Management, Inc. or any of its proprietary investment products.
Material conflicts of interest are identified by Corporate Actions based upon analyses of client, broker and vendor lists, information periodically gathered from directors and officers, and information derived from other sources, including public filings.

B.	Establishment and Operation of Proxy Review Committee In situations where a material conflict of interest is identified, the Proxy Group will refer the matter, along with the recommended course of action by Calamos, if any, to a Proxy Review Committee comprised of representatives from Portfolio Management (which may include portfolio managers and/or research analysts employed by Calamos), Operations, Legal and Compliance Departments within Calamos for evaluation and voting instructions. The Proxy Review Committee may defer to the voting recommendation of ISS, or those of another independent third party provider of proxy services or send the proxy directly to the relevant Advisory Clients with a recommendation regarding the vote for approval.
	The Proxy Review Committee will independently review proxies that are identified as presenting material conflicts of interest; determine the appropriate action to be taken in such situations; report the results of such votes to Calamos’ clients as may be requested; and recommend changes to the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures as appropriate.
	The Proxy Review Committee will also decide whether to vote proxies for securities deemed to present conflicts of interest that are sold following a record date, but before a shareholder meeting date. The Proxy Review Committee may consider various factors in deciding whether to vote such proxies, including Calamos’ long-term view of the issuer’s securities for investment, or it may defer the decision to vote to the applicable Advisory Client.
C.	Records of Proxy Review Committee Actions The Proxy Review Committee will prepare a Conflicts Report for each situation where a material conflict of interest is identified that (1) describes any conflict of interest; (2) discusses the procedures used to address such conflict of interest; and (3) discloses any contacts from parties outside Calamos (other than routine communications from proxy solicitors) with respect to the proposal not otherwise reported. The Conflicts Report will also include written confirmation that any recommendation provided under

-3-

circumstances where a conflict of interest is found to exist was made solely on the investment merits and without regard to any other consideration.

II. Voting Guidelines

A.	General Proxy Voting Guidelines Calamos has adopted general guidelines for voting proxies as summarized below. In keeping with its fiduciary obligations to its Advisory Clients, Calamos reviews all proposals, even those that may be considered to be routine matters. Although these guidelines are to be followed as a general policy, in all cases each proxy and proposal will be considered based on the relevant facts and circumstances. Calamos may deviate from the general policies and procedures when it determines that the particular facts and circumstances warrant such deviation to protect the interests of the Advisory Clients. These guidelines cannot provide an exhaustive list of all the issues that may arise nor can Calamos anticipate all future situations. Corporate governance issues are diverse and continually evolving and Calamos devotes significant time and resources to monitor these changes. Calamos generally will not vote proxies for securities over which we do not have trading authority that may be held in Advisory Client accounts. In such instances, we will forward the proxy to the Advisory Client to vote.
B.	Specific Matters Submitted to Shareholders Calamos’ proxy voting positions have been developed based on years of experience with proxy voting and corporate governance issues. These principles have been reviewed by various members of Calamos’ organization, including Portfolio Management, Legal, Compliance, and Calamos’ officers. The Board of Trustees of the Calamos Funds is asked to approve the proxy voting policies and procedures annually.
	One of the primary factors Calamos considers when determining the desirability of investing in a particular company is the quality and depth of that company’s management. Accordingly, the recommendation of management on any issue is a factor that Calamos considers in determining how proxies should be voted. However, Calamos does not consider recommendations from management to be determinative of Calamos’ ultimate decision. As a matter of practice, the votes with respect to most issues are cast in accordance with the position of the company’s management. Each issue, however, is considered on its own merits, and Calamos will not support the position of a company’s management in any situation where it determines that the support of management’s position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning that company’s shares.
	The following guidelines reflect what Calamos believes to be good corporate governance and behavior:

1. Corporate Governance and Structure

a. Board of Directors/Trustees The election of directors and an independent board are vital to good corporate governance. Directors are expected to be competent individuals and they should be accountable and responsive to shareholders. Calamos seeks to ensure that the board of directors of a company is sufficiently aligned with security holders’ interests and provides proper oversight of the company’s management. In many cases this may be best accomplished by having a majority of independent board members. Although we will examine board member elections on a case-by-case basis, Calamos generally supports an independent board of directors, and prefers that key committees such as audit, nominating, and compensation committees be comprised of independent directors. For all other votes regarding boards of directors, we will vote on a case-by-case basis.

-4-

b.	Ratification of Auditors In light of several high profile accounting scandals, Calamos will closely scrutinize the role and performance of auditors. On a case-by-case basis, Calamos will examine proposals relating to non-audit relationships and non-audit fees. Calamos will also consider, on a case-by-case basis, proposals to rotate auditors, and will vote against the ratification of auditors when there is clear and compelling evidence of accounting irregularities or negligence attributable to the auditors.
c.	Merger, Acquisitions, Reincorporation and Other Transactions Companies ask their shareholders to vote on an enormous variety of different types of transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, reincorporations and reorganizations involving business combinations, liquidations and the sale of all or substantially all of a company’s assets. Voting on such proposals involves considerations unique to each transaction. Therefore, we will vote on proposals to effect these types of transactions on a case-by-case basis.
d.	Anti-Take Over Measures and Shareholder Voting Rights Calamos generally opposes anti-takeover measures since they tend to reduce shareholder rights. However, as with all proxy issues, Calamos conducts an independent review of each anti-takeover proposal. On occasion, Calamos may vote with management when the research analyst has concluded that the proposal is not onerous and would not harm Advisory Clients’ interests as stockholders. Calamos generally supports proposals that require shareholder rights plans (“poison pills”) to be subject to a shareholder vote. Calamos will closely evaluate shareholder rights’ plans on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not they warrant support. Calamos will generally vote against any proposal to issue stock that has unequal or subordinate voting rights.
e.	Capital Structure Calamos realizes that a company’s financing decisions have a significant impact on its shareholders, particularly when they involve the issuance of additional             shares of common or preferred stock or the assumption of additional debt. Calamos will carefully review, on a case-by-case basis, proposals by companies to increase authorized shares and the purpose for the increase. Calamos will generally not vote in favor of dual-class capital structures to increase the number of authorized shares where that class of stock would have superior voting rights. Calamos will generally vote in favor of the issuance of preferred stock in cases where the company specifies the voting, dividend, conversion and other rights of such stock and the terms of the preferred stock issuance are deemed reasonable. Calamos will review proposals seeking preemptive rights on a case-by-case basis.
f.	Social and Corporate Policy Issues As a fiduciary, Calamos is primarily concerned about the financial interests of its Advisory Clients. Calamos will generally give management discretion with regard to social, environmental and ethical issues although Calamos may vote in favor of proposals regarding those issues that are believed to have significant economic benefits or implications.
g.	Global Corporate Governance Calamos manages investments in countries worldwide. Many of the tenets discussed above are applied to Calamos’ proxy voting decisions for international investments. However, Calamos must be flexible in these worldwide markets and must be mindful of the varied market practices of each region.

2. Executive Compensation and Option Plans A company’s equity-based compensation plan should be in alignment with the shareholders’ long-term interests. Accordingly, proxy votes should be used to encourage the use of reasonably designed compensation

-5-

plans that promote such alignment by providing officers and employees with an incentive to increase shareholder value. Calamos evaluates plans on a case-by-case basis by considering several factors to determine whether the plan is fair and reasonable. Calamos may review the ISS quantitative model utilized to assess such plans. Severance compensation arrangements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, although Calamos will oppose “golden parachutes” that are considered excessive. Calamos will normally support proposals that require that a percentage of directors’ compensation be in the form of common stock, as it aligns their interests with those of the shareholders.

3. Other Business Matters Many proxy statements include the approval of routine business matters, such as changing the company’s name, and procedural matters relating to the shareholder meetings. Generally these routine matters do not materially affect shareholder interests adversely and are best left to the board of directors and senior management of the company. Thus, we will generally vote for board-approved proposals seeking to approve such matters.

IV. Record Retention and Disclosure

A.

Record Retention Corporate Actions shall be responsible for collecting and maintaining proxy related information on each vote cast as required by applicable law unless such function is outsourced. Such information shall include (i) the name of the shareholder whose proxy is being voted; (ii) the name of the company; (iii) the exchange ticker symbols of the company; (iv) CUSIP number; (v) proxy statements; (vi) shareholder meeting date; (vii) brief identification of the matter voted on; (viii) whether the matter was proposed by the company or by a security holder; (ix) whether a vote was cast on the matter; (x) how the vote was cast (e.g., for or against proposal, or abstained, for or withheld regarding election of directors); (xi) whether the vote was cast for or against management; (xii) Conflicts Reports; and (xiii) any information created by Calamos or a third party needed by the Committee to make a voting determination. The above information shall be maintained in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than six years from the end of the fiscal year in which the information was created, with the first two years in an appropriate office of Calamos unless record retention is outsourced.

B.

Disclosure Corporate Actions shall be responsible for appropriately disclosing proxy voting information, including these policies and procedures, the voting guidelines and the voting records of the Funds or clients as may be required by applicable law. Corporate Actions, in conjunction with legal staff responsible for coordinating Calamos Fund disclosure, will file all required Forms N-PX, on a timely basis with respect to investment company clients, disclose that its proxy voting record is available on the web site, and will make available the information disclosed in its Form N-PX as soon as is reasonable practicable after filing Form N-PX with the SEC. Corporate Actions, in conjunction with legal staff responsible for coordinating Fund disclosure, will ensure that all required disclosure about proxy voting of the investment company clients is made in such clients’ financial statements and disclosure documents.

V.	Reports to the Funds’ Boards and Non-Investment Company Clients of Calamos
	Corporate Actions shall provide proxy information to each Board of Trustee of the Funds as such Board may request from time to time.
	For non-investment company clients of Calamos, Corporate Actions shall appropriately respond in writing to all written client requests for information on how it voted on behalf of the client. Such written request along with any written response to such written request or oral client request shall be maintained in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year, with the first two years in an appropriate office of Calamos.
