About Calamos Investments

For over 40 years, we have helped investors like you manage and build wealth to meet long-term objectives. Because investors have different time horizons, risk tolerances and goals, we offer funds to suit a variety of asset allocation needs. Our 20 mutual funds include equity, fixed income, convertible and alternative funds. We offer US funds as well as global and international choices.

We are dedicated to helping our clients build and protect wealth. We understand when you entrust us with your assets, you also entrust us with your achievements, goals and aspirations. We believe we best honor this trust by making investment decisions guided by integrity, discipline and our conscientious research.

We believe an active, risk-conscious approach is essential for wealth creation. In our early years, we pioneered the use of convertible securities as a means to control risk in volatile markets. We followed with strategies that combine convertibles and stocks, with the aim of participating in equity market upside with potentially less volatility than an all-stock portfolio. In 1990, we introduced our first stock fund, which invests in growth companies both large and small. Across our funds, our investment process seeks to manage risk at multiple levels and draws upon our experience investing through many market cycles. In a rapidly changing environment, we believe that this active management is essential.

We are global in our perspective. We believe globalization offers tremendous opportunities for countries and companies all over the world. In our US, global and international portfolios, we are seeking to capitalize on the potential growth of the global economy.

We believe there are opportunities in all markets. Our history traces back to the 1970s, a period of significant volatility and economic concerns. Since then, we have invested through the ebb and flow of multiple markets, each with its own set of challenges. Out of this experience comes our belief that the flipside of volatility is opportunity.

Letter to Shareholders

JOHN P. CALAMOS, SR.

Founder, Chairman, and Global Chief Investment Officer

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Welcome to your annual report for the 12 months ending October 31, 2022. In this report, you will find commentary from our portfolio management teams, a listing of portfolio holdings, financial statements and highlights, and detailed information about the performance and positioning of the Calamos Funds. Global markets have faced many challenges over the reporting period, and we understand investors have questions. Our teams have sought to address the key topics in the markets and how they have influenced the Funds, and it is our hope that you find this report informative.

When markets are volatile and economic conditions are uncertain, many investors find it difficult to stay invested. What I have learned during more than 50 years as an investor is that there are opportunities in all economic environments for active investors who follow disciplined processes. Especially during challenging markets, it's helpful to remember that market volatility and economic uncertainty are always part of the investment landscape—but short-term volatility sets the stage for long-term opportunities. For example, our teams seek to use short-term sell-offs to actively rebalance the Funds to gain exposure to investments with compelling long-term potential.

Market Review

During the 12-month reporting period, heightened investor anxiety buffeted global markets. Market participants worried about the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases, inflation, recessionary pressures, fiscal policy and geopolitical uncertainty. Although unemployment remained low in the US, well-publicized layoffs began to make their way into the headlines and corporate earnings expectations started to decline as companies confronted inflation and an array of unknowns related to regulations and taxes. Investors who were long accustomed to abnormally low interest rates faced a new reality: As the Fed dug into its tightening cycle and global central banks followed suit, the yield of the US 10-year Treasury crossed 4% for the first time since 2010. Although conditions began to stabilize as the reporting period closed—particularly for smaller-cap stocks—major equity, fixed-income and convertible market benchmarks closed the reporting period with losses.

Outlook

There are times when macro or geopolitical concerns—such as Fed policy, inflation or the war in Ukraine—drive most of the market's activity. This is the sort of the environment we find ourselves in today. We expect heightened volatility as markets seek clarity about whether a recession is indeed on the horizon or has perhaps

Letter to Shareholders

already begun. In the US, the fiscal policy backdrop remains uncertain, which is likely to contribute to volatility as market participants pay increasing attention to the 2024 election.

Investing through periods of rapid change is never easy, but it's important to maintain long-term perspective. For example, a 10-year Treasury yield above 4.0% feels ominous to many people today and is significantly higher on a percentage basis from its pandemic lows, but it's far less disconcerting relative to its long-term history. Similarly, the year-over-year inflation increases that are being reported are reflective of low starting points ("base effects"). We're also seeing indications that the worst may be behind us in terms of inflation.

That said, we remain highly attuned to potential risks—monetary policy errors and geopolitics are top of mind. Fiscal policy in the United States will be highly consequential for the markets and the economy. Business confidence is flagging, with real implications not only for corporate profits but also for individuals. Regulations that unduly disincentivize entrepreneurial activity create headwinds that may be felt by businesses first but eventually ripple over to households. Policies that encourage unchecked and excessive demand without a corresponding increase in supply ultimately come home to roost, including in the inflation we see today.

Here's another important point: Despite the big-picture challenges and uncertainties, over the long term, fundamentals win out. The Calamos Funds do not invest in the economy or the markets. Rather, our teams are focused on identifying individual securities that offer compelling risk-and-reward characteristics and on managing risk through a range of strategies. Our investment professionals are looking through the short-term noise to identify pockets of opportunity—including among innovative companies with quality fundamentals, those in thematic niches, and those that can demonstrate long-term resilience regardless of the macro backdrop. In a rising interest rate environment, price-to-earnings multiples can come down even if earnings are good, so our teams remain particularly mindful of valuations.

Thoughts on Asset Allocation

The "new normal" of the past decade was characterized by stable but low growth, low inflation and therefore, very low rates. In a zero-interest rate environment, the traditional 60% equity/40% fixed income asset allocation came up short, leading many investors to seek out the "bond surrogate trade" to create some yield. Now that interest rates have risen and are more likely to remain high, it makes sense to ask if we are returning to the "old normal"—built around owning stocks for capital appreciation and bonds for yield. Certainly, we see traditional fixed income as becoming more important in asset allocation. Because managing interest rate risk within fixed income allocations is paramount, we see especially attractive tailwinds for short-term bonds, the mainstay of Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund, as interest rates continue to adjust upward.

Asset allocation is always evolving, and today investors have new alternatives to consider for "old normal"-type problems. There are new approaches for investors to consider. For example, we believe the case for establishing or increasing allocations to liquid alternatives remains strong, to complement either traditional fixed income or equity allocations. (To learn more, see our fixed income alternative, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund, and our equity alternatives, Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund and Calamos Hedged Equity Fund).

Letter to Shareholders

Returning to traditional asset classes, we also see opportunities in the small- and mid-cap segment of the market. Many small-cap and mid-cap stocks provide a compelling blend of fundamental strength and valuations with healthy upside potential (for more, see our commentaries on Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund and Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund). Convertible securities, which are often issued by small cap and mid cap companies, offer another way to tap into this opportunity—with fixed-income characteristics providing the potential advantage of downside equity risk mitigation. Many of our funds utilize convertibles, including Calamos Growth and Income Fund (a multi-asset class fund) and Calamos Convertible Fund (a dedicated convertible offering).

Conclusion

As always, thank you for your trust. We are honored to serve you and help you achieve your asset allocation goals. I invite you to visit our website, www.calamos.com, for ongoing updates about the markets and thought leadership from our teams. We also provide information about asset allocation strategies for investors seeking income, capital appreciation, or both.

Sincerely,

John P. Calamos, Sr.
Founder, Chairman and Global Chief Investment Officer

CALAMOS MARKET NEUTRAL INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Please discuss the Fund's strategy and role within an asset allocation.

Launched more than 30 years ago, Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund represents one of the first liquid alternative mutual funds and blends two main strategies—convertible arbitrage and hedged equity—with the aim of monetizing volatility. The Fund also uses opportunistic strategies to augment the main strategies: Special Purpose Acquisition Company ("SPAC") arbitrage offers a source of cheap optionality, and merger arbitrage offers a high probability of positive returns over a longer time horizon. Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund is designed to do the following:

  Potentially enhance an investor's fixed-income allocation.

  Actively pursue equity market upside while hedging downside risk.

  Provide consistent absolute total return over varying market cycles.

In addition to seeking an attractive historical risk/reward profile, the Fund may enhance long-term portfolio diversification potential, a vital benefit given recent bouts of elevated equity volatility.

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund returned -5.01% (Class I Shares at net asset value), strongly outperforming the -16.04% loss for the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index while trailing the 0.85% return of the Bloomberg Short Treasury 1-3 Month Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, the equity and credit markets were challenged by global recession concerns, inflation, elevated oil prices, rising interest rates, and supply chain disruptions in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Against this volatile backdrop, both stocks and bonds saw significant declines as represented by the S&P 500 Index (-14.61%) and Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index (-16.04%).

During the period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its fed funds target rate from 0.00% – 0.25% to 3.00% – 3.25%. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity increased 334 basis points to 5.01%. In addition, according to Bloomberg, high yield corporate credit spreads widened 151 basis points to 483 basis points over US Treasuries. Rising interest rates and widening credit spreads impeded the bond component of convertibles during the annual period. At the same time, the rise in overnight interest rates improved the opportunity carry on cash received from short positions (our custodian rebates us overnight interest in excess of short borrowing costs).

During the annual period, the Fund's hedged equity strategy was held back by the S&P 500 Index market decline, given that the strategy's equity basket declined toward its put strike price. The elevated volatility provided attractive option-rebalancing opportunities, and the higher level of implied volatility in the options

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund   (Unaudited)

market also benefitted the Fund. However, it was not enough to overcome the magnitude of the decline during the annual period. It is important to note that the options market gave rise to highly unusual conditions during the past year. Typically, in a large market sell-off, the implied volatility of put options would increase, causing an increase in the value of the option. However, during the annual period, the implied volatility of puts actually declined. As a result, the performance of the put hedge in the strategy underperformed expectations. This was not unique to the Fund and was evident in other option trading strategies too. For example, if an investor had tried to hedge their position in the S&P 500 Index using one-month, 5% out-of-the money puts, their hedged portfolio would still be down 20% year-to-date (as represented by the Cboe S&P 500 5% Put Protection Index).

The convertible arbitrage portion of the portfolio held up well and benefited from periods of volatility, which provided opportunities to profit from convertible hedge rebalancing. New convertible issuance cooled during the period, as the extreme volatility inhibited IPO activity across all asset classes. As of the year-to-date at the end of October, new global convertible issuance totaled $27.5 billion, far from the near record pace of issuance seen in 2020 and 2021.

The Fund's SPAC Arbitrage and Merger Arbitrage sleeves also held up well relative to the market declines.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the annual period, the Fund had 49.7% in its hedged equity strategy and 50.3% in its arbitrage strategies. The arbitrage strategies included 38.1% in convertible arbitrage, 9.6% in SPAC arbitrage, and 2.6% in merger arbitrage.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund's hedged equity strategy declined slightly from 50.2% to 49.7% and finished the period with a delta hedge* on the higher side of our historical range. The strategy is positioned with a smaller call-write allocation along with a larger put purchase and the use of put spreads to enhance our hedge, which is above and beyond the outright long put allocation we always maintain in the Fund. However, the call-write allocation is smaller than our traditional trade. The current positioning provides for greater downside risk mitigation while also creating a favorable upside runway should the equity market rebound.

The allocation to convertible arbitrage was trimmed the most during the period (from 43.0% at the beginning of the period to 38.1%), and these assets were used to take advantage of attractive opportunities in the SPAC Arbitrage strategy, which provides a return and risk profile similar to convertible arbitrage.

The SPAC arbitrage sleeve increased from 5.6% to 9.6% during the annual period and reflected attractive opportunities to purchase SPACs below the value of the cash held in trust. These SPACs provided an attractive yield to expiration and a potential for upside should any of the SPAC sponsors announce an acquisition. We utilized SPAC arbitrage as a way to support the Fund's historically lower risk profile and steady returns; in essence, the strategy creates a cheap option with a risk-reward opportunity similar to convertible arbitrage. This said, the recent market environment has seen few SPACs issued and few merger announcements. Should the current SPAC environment persist, we expect the SPAC Arbitrage allocation may decline in favor of convertible arbitrage.

A note concerning Morningstar Ratings for Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund Morningstar recently sought to refine its categorization of alternative funds, splitting large heterogeneous categories into smaller, more-focused peer sets. Calamos applauds Morningstar's continuous commitment to improving investor understanding of mutual fund offerings. As of April 30, 2021, Morningstar assigned the Fund to a new category, Relative Value Arbitrage, a group of only eight funds. With such a small set of data points, Morningstar has determined that funds in this category will not be assigned a star rating. The Fund's move to the Relative Value Arbitrage category has no bearing on the management of the fund itself, nor was it made in response to a change in the management of the Fund.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund   (Unaudited)

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The annual period was challenging across asset classes but provided a proof point for the Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund's diversification benefit within an asset allocation. The period brought turbulent volatility and rising interest rates, and the Fund was able to hold up significantly better than both the stock and bond markets.

Investors continue to be anxious about a myriad of headlines highlighting geopolitical strife, persistent supply chain disruptions, high oil prices, rising interest rates, and the effects of the US midterm elections. The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund seeks to provide a stable positive return with a low standard deviation by monetizing the volatility of the markets.

If there is a silver lining behind the recent rise in interest rates, it is that higher rates have improved the performance outlook for the Fund. Those investors attracted to shorter-term bonds with their higher yields should also understand that the higher interest rates also support the Market Neutral Income Fund. In convertible arbitrage, the higher the overnight interest rate, the greater the carry on cash receives from the short sale of the convertibles' underlying stocks. In addition, new convertible issues are being brought to market with higher average coupons. The Fund's hedged equity sleeve may also benefit from an expected higher option premium capture. Finally, with SPAC Arbitrage, the SPACs cash in trust is also earning higher interest (after earning virtually no interest during the Fed's zero interest rate policy).

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund   (Unaudited)

CALAMOS HEDGED EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

The Fund's Strategic Approach and Role in a Portfolio

We believe the Calamos Hedged Equity Fund is an excellent portfolio diversifier. The Fund's investment approach seeks to be highly responsive to dynamic market conditions, blending a core long-equity portfolio with an actively managed options overlay. The Fund is often compared with more systematic or defined outcome product peers. Defined outcome products are designed to capture a certain amount of downside or upside each quarter, depending on where the market moves. However, there are disadvantages to not being nimble in these turbulent markets, such as having a capped upside that cannot offset successive losses on the downside.

Unlike our "mechanistic" peers, the Calamos tactical management approach seeks opportunities to generate alpha via option market dynamics and equity market volatility. The Fund seeks to take advantage of these opportunities by being favorably positioned for many outcomes.

How has the Fund performed?

The investment climate in 2022 is a far cry from what occurred during the 2008 collapse. While it is helpful to study the past, it is important to recognize that this investment climate is nothing like the Great Financial Crisis. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Markets will continue to deal with higher inflation, rising rates and volatility for some time to come, and it is our opinion that active risk management—seen as almost defunct from 2010 to 2020—is now imperative.

The Fund has been and will continue to seek to be well positioned to capture the equity market's upside with less risk than capped hedged equity funds and long-only equities. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Hedged Equity Fund was down -10.33% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the S&P 500 Index -14.61% return and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index decrease of -15.68%. Since its inception on December 31, 2014, the Fund has gained 4.90% (Class I shares at net asset value) on an annualized basis versus 10.46% for the S&P 500 Index and 0.46% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund maintained a beta of 0.52 for the annual period, which is in line with its historical beta of 0.50, versus the S&P 500 Index as of October 31, 2022. The Fund did a better job participating in the rally that occurred near the end of the annual period when the S&P 500 Index gained 8%. However, we still see this as a bear market rally similar to last summer's market action, and it is not unusual for these violent rallies to occur during bear markets. At the end of October, the S&P 500 Index was still deep in the red for the year-to-date period at -17.70%.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) continues to act aggressively to put a lid on inflation, which has pressured equity earnings and led to weaker economic performance. We expect that markets will continue to be challenged, though the recent oversold conditions in the equity markets have kept sellers at bay. The current volatility is far more settled than it was during the previous three quarters of 2022. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), known as the fear index, is trading around 22.5, still off the VIX mean of 19.5% but well under the Covid-19 mean of 23.5%. What would

be notable and needs monitoring is a challenge to a 35 VIX; if the market can break 35 and reach a 40 VIX, it may signal the end of the bear market. Until those levels are tested, we are still firmly in the grip of a bear market and subject to additional volatility.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's active strategy management approach has generated equal or better results compared to long-only stocks or bonds. The options market's current landscape has allowed us to structure our hedge to emphasize better potential performance on the tails. This positioning provided additional mitigation over and above our average of 40% to 50% put notional minimum while also adding upside participation potential. The tradeoff was a reduction in the net income the Fund received from selling calls above our put cost. We felt this tradeoff was warranted and opportunistic given the Fund's defensive mandate, moderate volatility, and flattening skew* in the options market. Higher volatility (with the VIX at 27) and a flat option skew made our "North Star" baseline trade more appealing toward the end of the annual period. We use rallies to replace some of our put hedges with outright long puts, which appear attractive. At the end of the period, the Fund's net put representation was 79% with an average strike of 3596.

Our call positioning included a call write of -44%, gross short calls of -77%, and gross long calls of 33% as of October 31, 2022. In this case, gross long calls were in line with past positioning. At the end of the annual period and relative to the S&P 500 Index, our sector positioning was slightly overweight in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The portfolio was slightly underweight in the materials, financials, and real estate sectors. Relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund's market-cap positioning maintained a heavier relative weight to larger capitalization (>$25 billion) holdings and a lighter weight to small- and mid-capitalization ($1 to $25 billion) holdings.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

If the VIX increases to 40 and the S&P 500 Index holds above the October low of 3491, we believe equities can achieve higher-than-average returns in the following months based on historical precedence. As in June when the S&P 500 Index was challenging market lows before rallying, the period-end market of 2022 presents a similar setup with the Index back up at 3860. The opportunity cost of exiting the market outweighs the cost of additional short-term pain. At this point in the S&P 500 Index, we are taking a more constructive long-term view. Strategically, one of the key near-term drivers moving forward will be liquidity. There is no Fed put holding up the market, and because we do not have that central bank backstop, it is doubtful that the equity market recovery will look like a "V." Subsequently, there will probably be much backing and filling short-term. Time will tell whether the shift in implied volatility represents investors' overshooting because of inflation and rising rates. Presently, growth momentum remains strong in the United States. We expect earnings, Fed tapering, rate hikes, inflation, and war to continue spurring a spike in volatility, which is not unexpected or unprecedented. Some of the volatility spikes seem to be synchronized with the

Fed tapering asset purchases and can be characterized as overreactions whereas other spikes usher in phases of above-average volatility. In our opinion the Fund is poised to participate in any upside while providing an enhanced income stream from well-positioned call spreads and our tracking portfolio's equity dividends. Should markets retreat, the dividend income stream, the put spreads, and outright long puts used in the Fund may mitigate any potential downside.

CALAMOS PHINEUS LONG/SHORT FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

What is the essence of the investment approach?

Through a global long/short structure, Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund invests in publicly listed equity securities. Components of that strategy include the following:

  A fundamental global approach that blends top-down and bottom-up considerations. Company analysis is integrated with industry, thematic and macro research.

  An inclusive framework for identifying potential returns and associated risks. The framework accounts for company, industry, style, country and market factors.

  Flexible capital allocation allowing for all investment styles, market caps and geographic regions. The investment universe is global, liquid and scalable. Exposure levels and investment styles depend upon market conditions and the economic cycle.

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund returned -5.25% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 500 Index -14.61% return and the MSCI World Index -18.09% return over the same period.

Since its inception on May 1, 2002, the Fund has returned 9.93% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value), which markedly outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and MSCI World Index returns of 8.56% and 7.42%, respectively, since the inception period.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

The Fund's outperformance relative to the global indices largely reflected the Fund's underweight exposure to the equity derivatives of long duration and positive returns on general market hedges. The Fund concluded the period with an average net equity delta-adjusted exposure of 59.89%, which compares to its average net equity exposure of approximately 28% (on a cash basis) since inception in 2002.

The annual period was extraordinary by most standards. It was marked by a European war, supply chain challenges, the lowest labor participation rate in decades, and over $5 trillion in federal fiscal stimulus spending, all of which contributed to an annual CPI in September of 8.25% that was highlighted by a year-over-year increase in gasoline prices of 18.2%. This situation prompted the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to increase short-term rates six times through early November 2022, bringing the target rate to 3.75% – 4.00%, while consequently fueling speculation that more rate hikes were likely in 2023. All of these events

have contributed to a broad and deep sell-off of financial assets during the period as market volatility, at times stoked by varied interpretations of Fed messaging, has been rampant.

Most investors agree that the path of inflation will dictate the direction of financial markets in 2023. Disinflation will almost certainly lead to higher equity and bond prices as well as improved prospects for the US economy.

Two arguments support this view. The first is history itself, which highlights that an inflection in the inflation cycle is commonly coincident with the direction of equity prices. The second is monetary policy under the Federal Reserve. Today, investors fear the Federal Reserve because they know the Fed fears inflation.

The gap between projected versus actual monetary policy in 2022 has created considerable dissonance. Through the post-2008 era, the Fed offered considerable transparency to markets. For the past three quarters, policy visibility has become obscure in the extreme. Market volatility reflects this uncertainty as much as the absolute level of interest rates.

Fund performance amid all of these developments was respectable in both absolute and relative terms. First, we have been wary of the equity derivatives of long duration for much of the past year. In December 2021 we further distanced the portfolio from long-duration growth and defensive areas.

We then added additional index hedges in early 2022 that cushioned the Fund from the initial stages of the market retreat with the result that both the long and short books have been additive to performance over the period. The reorientation of the Federal Reserve that effectively ended the "Fed put" became apparent with the release of the December FOMC minutes, which signaled that we should no longer lean aggressively into equity risk.

What helped and hurt performance over the annual period?

Early in the period we focused on cyclicals that we believed were poised to outperform, given the post-pandemic pent-up demand in airlines, hotels, gaming, transportation, and defensive stocks. Although many of these areas proved to be accretive, several long holdings in consumer discretionary did not meet expectations. Although we had little exposure at the end of the period, we did capture profits in energy earlier in the year. Given the market volatility and the overall equity market declines, our hedges on US equity markets have been helpful to us over the course of the year.

The Fund's long position in energy and materials, as well as both long and short positions on market indexes, were the largest contributors. Conversely, long positions in information technology, industrials, and communication service companies hindered performance. Notable contributors during the period included a short position on the S&P 500 ETF Trust -35.22% average of net exposure over the period (hedge), long positions on Snowflake 0.43% average over the period (information technology) and Itaú Unibanco 1.90% average over the period (financials). Notable detractors during the period included long positions on Caesars Entertainment Inc. 2.06% as of period end (consumer discretionary), Twilio Inc. 1.38% average over the period (information technology) and The Boeing Company 1.65% average over the period (industrials).

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund   (Unaudited)

How is the Fund positioned in the context of the global economic cycle?

Net equity exposure (delta-adjusted) concluded the annual period at 59.9% versus 57.2% at the start of the period. This compares with the average net equity exposure of approximately 28% (cash basis) since inception in 2002. The Fund leaned modestly into equity risk throughout the period as markets became unsettled by higher interest rates, rapid inflation, Fed policy mixed signals, the continuing war in Ukraine, energy concerns in Europe, and increasing economic challenges in China due to its "zero tolerance" Covid-19 policy.

Our continuing conviction has been our cautious view on duration and its equity derivatives. This translates into the continued bias toward shorter duration, more profitable businesses versus those with less support from earnings, cash flow and tangible assets or book value. We have been wary of stocks where the bulk of their value depends on assumptions about growth in the far future. This positioning sheltered the Fund from some of the most egregious stock disappointments of the period as markets struggled to price these assets in an increasingly inflationary environment. The Fund continued to favor names perceived as more cyclical with recovery potential during the year. The broadest exposures for the long book are industrials and transports, followed by financials. The Fund currently maintains, and had maintained throughout the period, a US bias.

Early in July the Fund selectively reengaged opportunities that we view as QGARP, or quality growth at a reasonable price. This appeared to be the right move as the market recovered in the first part of the third calendar quarter off June lows.

Many of our cyclical themes have anticipated the shift from goods to services as the world slowly emerges from the pandemic. This implies a sustained recovery in travel and entertainment along with a return to the office. In contrast, producers and retailers of goods will struggle with less volume and less pricing power into 2023 as the "stay at home" bubble pulled forward years of demand. Investors are in the process of recognizing this thematic shift, and we might worry it has become consensus positioning were it not overshadowed by recession fears.

Technology stocks have been materially derated. The list of companies that have announced workforce reductions or lowered outlooks grows daily, though material resets have been largely focused on semiconductors and PC-related names. With few exceptions, software and internet names have yet to revise outlooks, apart from currency impacts. Until forward estimates come down broadly and the stocks stabilize in response, we are reluctant to engage names that are not supported by quality earnings and cash flow.

After profit taking, energy was moved to an underweight in Q2 2022, though the Fund maintains a small position. Although oil fundamentals are underpinned by years of supply underinvestment, prices continued to decline from March and June peaks as Chinese economic disruption and lower seasonal demand reduced near-term fears of shortages. Despite the war in Ukraine conflict, it looks as though Europeans have a great deal more capacity to manage their situation than earlier feared.

Financials are a conflicted group. Revenue and earnings are benefiting from high growth rates of net interest income, yet this is generating macro fears of a harder economic landing. Consumer credit has been resilient, and we favor regional banks over their larger money center peers.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund   (Unaudited)

In industrials our focus is on aerospace, airlines and select defense names. An eventual reopening in China and travel recovery in the broader Asia Pacific region are other catalysts that will draw attention in late 2023.

We are optimistic that the demand and pricing outlook for airfares is constructive because of the changing capacity outlook. Higher oil prices, higher financing costs, pilot shortages and equipment delays are making it difficult for the lowest cost players in the market to add undisciplined flights. The recovery in corporate and international travel has gained steam, which bodes well for the higher quality carriers with lower leverage ratios.

The Fund is underweight in the non-US economies. Within its US holdings, the Fund maintains a bias toward those with a higher percentage of domestic revenue. Europe will be challenged by energy concerns heading into the winter. Finally, and after years of denial, investors are turning downbeat on Chinese growth prospects and equity market performance—and with good reason. The catalyst for improved China sentiment requires changes to the zero-Covid -19 policy, but China has painted itself into a corner. Beijing would need to go overboard with stimulative policy to shift the grave winds blowing over the Chinese economy, but such a policy shift is unlikely.

What is your macro perspective heading into 2023?

The monetary setting is troubling, yet fundamentals are resilient. The enemy of equities is not inflation but deflation in output and profits, which we believe is unlikely until late 2023 at the earliest.

Policy uncertainty argues for diversification across the long portfolio, which is balanced between select quality GARP1 opportunities and cyclicals that have become "too cheap" on recession fears.

Markets are dealing with multiple headwinds to economic growth rather than the momentous conditions for a severe financial recession. As inflation risks ebb, tail risks will diminish accordingly.

Today's negative sentiment is infectious, driving broad de-risking by investors. Yet we believe the medium-term outlook for equities is improving, and the Fed will "pause to assess the outlook" before year-end.

Turning points in inflation are veiled in uncertainty. This is especially true in a post-Covid -19 era that has bifurcated the winning and losing industries across an economy that is still absorbing the footprint of the pandemic. Some sectors of the economy have begun to disinflate rapidly, whereas others are still struggling to normalize supply.

We are firmly in the disinflation camp. It is our opinion that the inflation surge of the past five quarters will reverse symmetrically over the next four to five quarters. Pricing pressures are easing broadly—in some places modestly—but in others decisively.

If we do not see further incremental policy tightness by the Fed, the bad news on policy is almost certainly priced into markets. Traditional analysis implies we should not see the consequences of this tighter policy on the economy until much later in 2023. This creates a window of opportunity for investors that opened at some point in October 2022 and, possibly, extends into spring of 2023.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund   (Unaudited)

Today, investors are positioned for heightened volatility as everyone awaits more clarity on policy. At the same time, the medium-term outlook for equities appears more favorable. Corporate profitability remains resilient, and valuation excesses have been wrung out of most stocks. Investor sentiment is at negative extremes, underscoring that many of today's concerns are already "in the price."

Although the risks of recession have heightened, we believe an actual downturn is neither imminent nor likely to be severe. Whether one looks at the yield curve (3-month to 10-year yields), growth in money aggregates, the housing cycle, or corporate margins, the message is the same. Material demand risk may not appear until much later in 2023.

And when recession does appear, there is a good chance it will be mild. First, the balance sheets of households and the corporate sector remain strikingly healthy based on key metrics like debt-to-income ratios and liquidity levels. The seeds of the end of any expansion are normally behaviors that lead to excessive spending and borrowing, which has not happened in the current cycle.

Another reason for optimism is that many recessions have been exacerbated by a banking crisis, which is another way of saying that private sector balance sheets came under stress. Yet the current US banking industry is squeaky clean. Finally, the footprint of the pandemic implies that any downturn in demand could feel relatively mild because the supply side of the economy is still catching up with demand.

Although the economy faces headwinds in key sectors like housing, the nuanced query may be what kind of slowdown will it be, as opposed to the binary question of whether a recession will come or not. And here, the nature of risks to housing, consumers and corporate balance sheets as well as the role of inflation versus deflation become paramount.

Today's problem is inflation not deflation, which is a radically different setting for incomes and balance sheets across the private sector. This reality implies that it would be nearly impossible to have the kind of deleterious collapse in the economy that occurred in late 2008.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We expect equities to find key support in the coming weeks. Before the infamous "Fed put" became embedded in investor psychology, equity bottoms were a process that typically included double bottoms or a retest of important lows, just as the June low is now being tested. Today's pattern is consistent with a gradual stabilization of equity values into year-end.

This constructive setting at the margin assumes no incremental policy tightness by the Federal Reserve and, thus, the bad news on the policy side is priced into markets. This is consistent with a stabilization in equity values. The skew of risk will be more to the upside if the mix of inflation and employment data can highlight a gradual post-pandemic normalization in the structure of economic growth.

We are balancing heightened uncertainty in the short-term—reflected in investor pessimism and broad de-risking—with improving medium-term prospects for equities. For the portfolio, this has implied more tactical positioning shifts and the execution of option strategies that can mitigate further downside without limiting the upside opportunity.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund   (Unaudited)

What is not embedded in today's markets is the possibility that the Fed manages to thread this narrow needle of policy normalization, leading to moderating economic growth, stable interest rates, and sustained corporate profits as nominal measures of economic activity remain comfortably positive. This is the story for 2023 if a window of disinflation emerges.

Looking beyond this, the long bull market in financial prices ended in December 2021. We believe the major indices will move in a broad range-bound pattern between today's levels and the former highs for much of the current decade. This amounts to a reconstitution of the investment landscape as the long era of price stability is replaced by a new experience of quasi price instability.

We are committed to the view that equities will bottom through late autumn with the setting becoming more constructive as disinflation takes hold in 2023.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end by visiting www.calamos.com. Average annual total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments as an annualized average. All performance shown assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Performance is for the Fund's Class I shares at net asset value. The Fund also offers Class A and Class C shares, the performance of which may vary. Source: State Street Corporation and Morningstar Direct.

The performance shown for periods prior to April 6, 2016 is the performance of a predecessor investment vehicle (the "Predecessor Fund"). The Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund on April 6, 2016, the date upon which the Fund commenced operations. On October 1, 2015, the parent company of Calamos Advisors, purchased Phineus Partners LP, the prior investment adviser to the Predecessor Fund ("Phineus"), and Calamos Advisors served as the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser between October 1, 2015 until it was reorganized into the Fund. Phineus and Calamos Advisors managed the Predecessor Fund using investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions that were in all material respects equivalent to those of the Fund. Phineus and Calamos Advisors managed the Predecessor Fund in this manner either directly or indirectly by investing all of the Predecessor Fund's assets in a master fund structure. The Predecessor Fund performance information has been adjusted to reflect Class A, Class C and Class I shares, expenses. However, the Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and thus was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If it had been, the Predecessor Fund's performance may have been lower.

CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

The convertible and equity markets were challenged during the 12 months ("annual period") that ended October 31, 2022, by recession concerns, inflation, elevated oil prices, rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic. Against this volatile backdrop, the US convertible market, represented by the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0), declined -20.26% and lagged behind the S&P 500 Index return of -14.61%. Calamos Convertible Fund returned -22.09% (Class I shares at net asset value), moderately trailing the convertible index.

Since the Class I shares inception on June 25, 1997, the Fund has returned 7.80% on an annualized basis in line with an annualized gain of 7.96% for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0) and a 7.98% annualized return for the S&P 500 Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

The convertible market is well represented by small and mid-sized growth issuers. The annual period was especially challenging for these issuers as evidenced by the -27.38% decline of the Russell 2500 Growth Index. Given that the underlying stocks of the convertible market declined -34.50%, convertibles provided downside risk mitigation by participating in only 58% of the decline of their underlying stocks. The equity market decline also meant that convertibles moved closer to their bond floor.

From an economic sector perspective, the Calamos Convertible Fund benefited from its underweight allocation in the real estate sector and its favorable selection in the information technology and materials sectors. In information technology, the Fund benefited from its relatively overweight position within the strong-performing semiconductor equipment industry. In addition, selection in the semiconductor equipment, semiconductors, and data processing & outsourced services industries held up better than index peers. In materials, the Fund benefited from strong security selection in the steel industry. Conversely, selection in the health care sector, an underweight allocation and selection in utilities, and an overweight allocation in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from results. The Fund's holdings in biotechnology, life sciences tools and services, and healthcare technology lagged within health care. In the utilities sector, selection in the electric utilities industry was a drag on performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

During this environment of uncertainty and volatility, we remain focused on managing the risk/reward trade-offs within a portfolio. Convertibles are hybrid securities that can act like equities or bonds, depending on movements in the markets. Although the asset class is diversified across market caps and sectors, small and mid-cap companies are well represented, as we mentioned earlier. Equity valuations have declined markedly among small and mid caps, including many companies that issued convertibles to fund their growth initiatives. To take advantage of the reset in the equity markets, we have maintained our emphasis on balanced convertibles with favorable asymmetric risk/reward profiles. Because this segment offers a healthy blend of equity and fixed income characteristics,

balanced convertibles can provide upside equity participation while potentially dampening downside volatility.

Additionally, as credit spreads have widened across fixed income markets, we have selectively invested in convertibles with more pronounced fixed income attributes ("busted convertibles") that we believe can benefit from spread improvement and provide a positive yield to maturity. However, consistent with our focus on risk management, we seek to avoid the most distressed portion of the busted convertible market.

Growth sectors such as technology, health care and consumer discretionary remain the largest allocations in the portfolio. We favor companies that are executing well despite macro uncertainties and can potentially benefit from increased demand for products and services that enhance productivity to offset rising corporate costs. We are also emphasizing companies positioned to benefit from longer-term secular themes such as energy efficiency and cybersecurity. Financials are the largest relative underweight in the Fund. Convertible structures in the sector tend to have unfavorable risk/reward characteristics, and many issuers are susceptible to the negative impact of higher interest rates.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Persistent inflationary pressures and monetary policy tightening are expected to contribute to high levels of uncertainty across the financial markets. This heightened volatility is likely to persist until there is greater clarity on the path of these risks, but we believe that short-term volatility can create longer-term opportunity and that the Calamos Convertible Fund is well positioned to participate in a market rebound while offering downside risk mitigation should the market look to retest recent lows.

To say that the equity and credit markets have experienced turbulence because of rising inflation and interest rates as well as intense geopolitical risks is stating the obvious. Convertibles have not been immune to this increase in volatility, which has also contributed to the subdued pace of new convertible issuance. While we anticipated a deceleration in the annual volume of new convertibles after back-to-back years of near-record amounts, issuance during the annual period was impacted by heightened global uncertainty fomented by multiple factors. Issuance accelerated toward the latter part of the annual period, and we expect the pace of new issuance to achieve a brisk clip once macro uncertainty subsides. Typically, after periods of volatility-induced slowdowns in new capital market issuance, the convertible market tends to be one of the first to reopen, and the initial deals tend to be attractively priced. We also anticipate—and would welcome—higher cash coupons given the overall rise in interest rates across markets. Despite the issuance slowdown, the strong issuance from 2020 and 2021 expanded the market and pushed back the maturity wall in the existing convertible market, which provides attractive opportunities in our view.

While this is a short window, we have been encouraged by the positive convexity convertibles have shown late in the annual period. Having participated in the July through mid-August rally, convertibles also held up better relative to other risk assets during the late August through September decline.

CALAMOS GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

The convertible and equity markets were challenged during the 12 months ("annual period") ended October 31, 2022, by recession concerns, inflation, elevated oil prices, rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic. Against this volatile backdrop, the global convertible market, represented by the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, declined -23.85% and lagged behind global equities in developed markets as represented by the MSCI World Index's -18.09% return. Calamos Global Convertible Fund returned -25.82% (Class I shares at net asset value), moderately underperforming the convertible benchmark index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Small- and mid-cap growth issuers are well represented in the global convertible market, and the annual period proved to be especially challenging for convertibles issued by these smaller companies. The underlying stocks of the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index were down -38.72% on average, significantly underperforming the broader equity market. Although convertibles underperformed the MSCI World Index, they demonstrated their resilience on the downside by participating in only 62% of their underlying stocks' decline. As the equity market moved lower, convertibles moved closer to their bond floor, further improving their downside resilience. At the end of the annual period, more than half of the global convertible market was priced below par.

During the period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its fed funds target rate from 0.00% – 0.25% to 3.00% – 3.25%. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity also increased 252 basis points to 3.82%. In addition, global high yield corporate credit spreads widened 180 basis points to 559 basis points, according to Bloomberg. Rising interest rates and widening credit spreads impeded the bond component of convertibles during the annual period.

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Calamos Global Convertible Fund benefited from security selection in the consumer discretionary sector, where holdings in the internet & direct marketing retail and hotels, resorts & cruise lines industries held up better than index names. Favorable security selection in the communication services sector also added value. Specifically, the portfolio benefited from a relatively heavy position in the strong-performing wireless telecommunication services sector in addition to a strong selection in the cable & satellite industry. The sectors that most detracted from performance were health care and information technology. Within health care, an underweight allocation and security selection in the biotechnology industry held back the relative return as did holdings within the health care equipment industry. In information technology, the relative return was hindered by security selection within the application software, semiconductor equipment, and systems software industries.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefitted from favorable selection in Emerging Latin America and Emerging Europe & South Africa. Security selection within Europe, the United States and Japan held back the relative result.

How is the Fund positioned?

We remain focused on maintaining an attractive risk/reward profile in the Fund. Convertible securities vary in their levels of equity and fixed income sensitivity, and

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in global convertible securities, striving to balance risk/reward while providing growth and income.

KEY FEATURES

  Provides broadly diversified exposure to the global convertible bond universe.

  Leverages more than 40 years of research in convertible security investing.

  Seeks to provide upside participation in equity markets with less exposure to downside than an equity-only portfolio over a full market cycle.

  Blends global investment themes and fundamental research via active management.

  Takes environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into account, evaluating whether they impact a company's cash flow, risk profile and long-term returns.

PORTFOLIO FIT

Consisting of convertible securities that can participate in upside equity movements with potentially limited downside exposure, the Fund can provide a means to manage risk in conjunction with an equity allocation. The Fund can also serve a role within a fixed-income allocation, as convertibles have performed well during periods of rising interest rates and inflation.

we adjust the Fund's overall exposures on an ongoing basis. During the annual period, the delta or equity sensitivity of convertibles declined as convertibles retreated closer to their bond floors when their underlying equities dropped in value. Although we added equity exposure through investments in new issues, this was offset by the decline in the delta. As a result, the Fund's overall level of equity sensitivity declined during the annual period and is currently in line with the global convertible market as measured by the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index.

Despite the slowdown in issuance and the challenging market environment, we have found opportunities to put cash to work and rebalance the portfolio in response to evolving market conditions. This includes investing in convertibles with balanced risk/reward attributes as well as select convertibles trading near their bond floor ("busted convertibles") that offer favorable yield-to-maturity characteristics.

From a sector standpoint, the Fund's largest sector weightings include information technology, consumer discretionary and health care. The lightest allocations reside in the consumer staples, energy and materials sectors. Relative to the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index benchmark, information technology, consumer discretionary and health care represent the largest overweights, whereas the industrials, communication services and materials sectors make up the most significant relative underweight allocations.

From a regional perspective, the United States and Europe constitute the largest allocations, and Emerging Europe & South Africa and Canada represent the lightest allocations. The Fund is underweight in Europe, reflecting both the paucity of bottom-up opportunities and the concerning macro environment.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

The global outlook is murky given rising interest rates in the United States. The Federal Reserve is determined to break the back of inflation; although this should be good news in the long run, we worry that the Fed may break something else in the process—perhaps the most over-leveraged parts of the UK pension industry that the Bank of England essentially bailed out recently. The US labor market has remained surprisingly resilient, but conditions point to a recession on the horizon. In Europe, the outlook is bleaker, given the continued war waged by Russia on Ukraine. The strength of the US dollar is also not making it any easier for Europe to get through its energy crisis.

After two years of near-record issuance, global convertible issuance, and IPO activity in other asset classes, has been slow in 2022. This slowdown in convertible issuance normally occurs during periods of equity market volatility. For example, after Lehman Brothers went under in 2008, we did not see a new convertible issued until March 2009. Although we do not expect that long a lull in issuance and we saw issuance begin to pick up late in the annual period, it may be a bit longer before the taps fully reopen. When they do, we expect to see a deluge of paper. Usually when equity capital markets are closed, convertibles are the first to reopen, and the early deals are often attractively priced.

We believe that convertibles provide an attractive way for investors to take some risk off the table while staying invested in the equity market. The recent pullback in the underlying stocks of convertible issuers has resulted in overall equity sensitivity toward the lower end of the post-Covid-era range. Convertibles have also moved closer to their bond values, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the convertible market traded below par at the end of the annual period.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund   (Unaudited)

Although we view convertibles to be strategic allocations that should be held over full market, economic and interest rate cycles, the pullback and volatility in the market fomented by rising rates may provide tactical opportunities in addition to strategic ones. For many investors, it's tough to buy equities when volatility is occurring, and convertibles are a way to have equity exposure with less equity market sensitivity.

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMALL CAP
GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund posted a return of -37.57% (Class I Shares at net asset value), underperforming the -26.02% loss of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Since Class I shares inception on March 23, 2011, the Fund has returned 10.67% on an annualized basis, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 8.53% over the same period. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance its benchmark over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take to tame inflation. Before the start of this annual period, the Fed increased its inflation forecasts, in turn raising the level of concern for market participants. As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer duration equities (businesses whose value significantly depends on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and, by the end of the annual period, had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points, while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, though the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope the worst economic fears may have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally, in advance of a significant and contentious midterm election in the United States. Adding to investors' woes over the annual period, the bond market delivered difficult performance as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index's -15.68% return.

Small-cap stocks started their decline in November, which was a bit earlier than the broad market as represented by the S&P 500 Index. Macro concerns dominated investor sentiment as many small company stocks, especially growth stocks, saw share prices decline despite favorable earnings reports and positive company guidance. Companies that had exhibited strong growth and stock performance previously were punished as investors took a doubtful view of earnings and stock valuations in light of potential increases to interest rates and the cost of capital going forward. Small caps lagged large caps, and within the small-cap space, growth stocks lagged value stocks. The Russell 2000 Growth Index -26.02% decline trailed the Russell 2000 Value Index's -10.73% return. That said, small-cap growth stocks outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the last

six months of the annual period—perhaps an indication that the sell-off in the space was overdone relative to the broad market.

For the full annual period within the Russell 2000 Growth Index, energy was the big winner with a 33% gain because of global supply concerns. The defensively oriented consumer staples (-7%) sector, materials (-8%), utilities (-13%) and industrials (-16%) each outperformed the benchmark, whereas financials (-27%), consumer discretionary (-30%), health care (-33%), information technology (-33%), real estate (-38%), and communication services (-41%) all lagged the index.

The Fund's performance received a boost from sector allocation decisions. The portfolio began the period with an overweight to the energy sector and maintained it over the course of the annual period, though we selectively added or reduced individual names throughout the course of the year. Because energy was the top-performing sector for the period, the overweight was strongly positive. Our view that long periods of underinvestment in energy business would create strong demand for equipment and services businesses as well as drillers came to fruition. The portfolio's underweight to the lackluster health care sector was also additive to relative performance, most notably an underweight to the biotechnology industry.

Security selection most negatively affected relative performance for the period. Market sentiment changed dramatically around high-growth businesses at the start of the annual period. Companies that had seen strong relative outperformance largely because of strong growth were punished most significantly during the annual period. Often, these businesses delivered strong earnings and revenues during their quarterly announcements, but the market grew skeptical about the prospects for higher growth businesses going forward. Security selection within health care, industrials, and information technology detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, though selection within financials was strongly additive. The market assigned a massive and negative rerating to growth businesses across equity markets but was most negative within the small-cap growth space. Broadly speaking, small-cap growth companies that delivered strong quarterly earnings announcements saw their stock prices tumble, and those that did not deliver or gave cautious outlooks were discounted even more significantly. As mentioned previously, the tide began to shift in the second half of the annual period as the Fund and small-cap growth stocks outperformed the broad market represented by the S&P 500 Index.

How is the Fund positioned?

For sector positioning, the most notable changes that occurred from the beginning of the annual period until its close involved increases to health care and consumer staples, with a decrease to consumer discretionary. In addition, energy went from a significant overweight at the start of the period to a modest overweight. Thanks to new additions within health care, the sector migrated from a significant underweight at the beginning of the period to a significant overweight. Health care additions included new, disruptive devices or treatments, which further spurred on already favorable growth in these spaces. Although consumer staples can be thought of as more defensive, we have selectively added to the sector in more dynamic growth areas rather than traditional, defensive, and low-growth consumer staples names.

We continue to hold investments in both long-term secular growth stocks and certain cyclical growth stocks that should benefit meaningfully from a continued economic uptick.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund   (Unaudited)

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

There are many signs the economy is slowing. The ongoing debate relates to the potential magnitude of future weakness. There are some bright spots for the broad market, especially relating to small-cap growth stocks. For one, we believe that inflation has likely peaked, and typically that has triggered a rally in stocks over the next 12 months, with or without a recession. Specifically, since 1942, there have been 17 spikes in inflation and the S&P 500 Index has rallied an average of 13.2% over the following 12 months after each spike, gaining 17.2% in the absence of a recession (nine of 17 occasions) and 8.8% with a recession (eight of 17 occasions).

In addition, seasonality has moved from negative to positive, although we expect volatility to continue. Since 1982, stocks have typically rallied beginning 26 business days prior to the November midterm elections (source: RBC). This year, we saw the market move upward starting in mid-October. Also, stocks historically have tended to rally over the six-month and 12-month periods after the midterm elections, with small caps and micro caps leading. This time, according to data from the Leuthold Group, small caps and microcaps also happen to be entering this period with extremely low relative valuations.

Another important point is we have invested through big drawdowns like this before and believe we are advantageously positioned for a snapback over the long term. Our portfolio is also smaller cap than our benchmark. Therefore, if conditions normalize and small caps assume a leadership role in line with the long-term historical trend, we believe our portfolio will be well positioned.

These are certainly intriguing statistics, but we would note that each cycle brings its own dynamics. This time, for the rally to begin and be sustained, we likely need bond yields to settle down and the Federal Reserve to become less hawkish at the margin.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/22, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.37%, Class C shares is 2.11%, Class I shares is 1.11% and Class R6 shares is 1.02%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023, to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A, Class C and Class I shares are limited to 1.30%, 2.05%, 1.05% of average net assets, respectively. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 1.05% less the Fund's annual sub-transfer agency ratio (the aggregate sub-transfer agency fees of the Fund's other share classes divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes). For purposes of these expense limitations, operating expenses do not include taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any. Calamos Advisors may recapture previously waived expense amounts within the same fiscal year for any day where the respective share class's expense ratio falls below the contractual expense limit up to the expense limit for that day. This undertaking is binding on Calamos Advisors and any of its successors and assigns. This agreement is not terminable by either party. The expense ratios shown above may differ from the more recent expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

NOTES:

Effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") through a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund, Class Y shareholders of the Predecessor Fund received Class A shares of the Fund, and Service Class and Institutional Class shareholders of the Predecessor Fund each received Class I shares of the Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund. Accordingly, the performance shown in the average annual total return table above for periods prior to the commencement of the Fund's operations on June 1, 2019 is the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund has the same investment objective, strategy and portfolio manager as the Predecessor Fund. As a result, the performance of the Fund would have been substantially similar to that of the Predecessor Fund.

The graphs do not reflect the income taxes that you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Fund performance includes reinvestment of dividends and adjustment for the maximum sales charge for Class A shares. The performance of other classes will vary from the performance of the class shown based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders investing in different share classes.

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund   (Unaudited)

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in the equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization (SMID) companies with high, sustainable growth potential, which may exceed market expectations.

KEY FEATURES

  Combines fundamental research with the analysis of market estimates to identify the underestimated growth differential between a company's business strength and market expectations of that strength.

  Pursues active management in a less-followed investment space.

  Analyzes secular trends to uncover exploitable investment opportunities specific to small- and mid-cap companies.

PORTFOLIO FIT

Investing in SMID companies is an important component of a diversified investment strategy. Small-to-midsize companies tend to experience greater growth and outperform larger companies, yet this greater potential also raises the potential for greater volatility—which is why we believe active management is crucial.

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMID GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund posted a return of -36.95% (Class I Shares at net asset value), trailing the -27.38% loss for the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take in an effort to tame inflation. Prior to the start of this annual period, the Fed had increased its inflation forecasts, raising the level of concern for market participants. As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer duration equities (businesses whose values significantly depend on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, although the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope that the worst of economic fears may have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally, in advance of a significant and contentious midterm election in the United States. Adding to investors' woes over the annual period, the bond market delivered difficult performance as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index's -15.68% return.

Small-cap stocks started their decline in November, a bit earlier than the broad market as represented by the S&P 500 Index. Macro concerns dominated investor sentiment as many small company stocks, especially growth stocks, saw share prices decline despite favorable earnings reports and positive company guidance. Companies that had exhibited strong growth and stock performance previously were punished as investors took a doubtful view of earnings and stock valuations in light of potential increases to interest rates and the cost of capital going forward. Small caps lagged large caps, and within the small-cap space, growth stocks lagged value stocks. The Russell 2500 Growth Index -27.38% decline trailed the Russell 2500 Value Index's -10.66% return. That said, small-cap growth stocks did outperform the S&P 500 Index over the last six months of the annual period—perhaps an indication that the sell-off in the space was overdone relative to the broad market.

For the full annual period within the Russell 2500 Growth Index, energy was the big winner with a 39% gain because of global supply concerns. The defensively

oriented utilities (-7%) and consumer staples (-15%) sectors also fared better than market, whereas materials (-16%), industrials (-20%), and financials (-22%) each outperformed the benchmark, and real estate (-28%), information technology (-31%), consumer discretionary (-32%), health care (-36%) and communication services (-42%) all lagged the index.

The Fund's performance received a boost from sector allocation decisions. The portfolio began the period with an overweight to the energy sector and maintained it over the course of the annual period, although we selectively added or reduced individual names throughout the course of the year. Because energy was the top-performing sector for the period, the overweight was strongly positive. Our view that long periods of underinvestment in energy business would create strong demand for equipment & services businesses as well as drillers served the portfolio well, even before the Russia-Ukraine war and supply disruptions came to the fore. The portfolio's underweight to the lackluster health care sector was also additive to relative performance, most notably an underweight to the biotechnology industry.

Security selection was the overarching detractor to relative performance for the period. Market sentiment changed dramatically around high-growth businesses at the start of the annual period. Companies that had seen strong relative outperformance largely because of strong growth were punished most significantly during the annual period. Often these businesses were able to deliver strong earnings and revenues during their quarterly announcements, but the market grew skeptical about the prospects for higher growth businesses going forward. Security selection within information technology, health care and industrials detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2500 Growth Index, although selection within financials was strongly additive. The market assigned a massive and negative rerating to growth businesses across equity markets but was most negative within the small-cap growth space. Broadly speaking, small-cap growth companies that delivered strong quarterly earnings announcements saw their stock prices tumble, and those that did not deliver or gave cautious outlooks were discounted even more significantly. As mentioned previously, the tide began to shift in the second half of the annual period as the Fund and small-cap growth stocks outperformed the broad market represented by the S&P 500 Index.

How is the Fund positioned?

Regarding sector positioning, the most notable changes that occurred from the beginning of the annual period until its close involved increases to health care and consumer staples with a decrease to consumer discretionary and information technology. In addition, energy grew as an absolute weight but remained fairly stable as an overweight during the period. Within health care, the sector migrated from a significant underweight at the beginning of the period to a significant overweight. Health care additions included new and disruptive devices or treatments, and this follows on the heels of already favorable growth in these spaces. Although consumer staples can be thought of as more defensive, we have selectively added to the sector in more dynamic growth areas rather than traditional, defensive and low-growth consumer staples names.

We continue to hold investments in both long-term secular growth stocks and certain cyclical growth stocks that should benefit meaningfully from a continued economic uptick.

CALAMOS GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Growth Fund returned -30.43% (Class I shares at net asset value), lagging the S&P 1500 Growth Index return of -23.88%. Market conditions changed dramatically from the prior one-year period, during which the Fund returned 46.40%.

Since the inception of Class I shares on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 10.36% on an annualized basis. The S&P 1500 Growth Index, the primary benchmark, returned 8.21% over the same period, and the S&P 500 Index returned 7.75%. We believe these comparisons demonstrate the Fund's ability to outdistance the growth and broad indices over full market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take to tame inflation. Prior to the start of this annual period, the Fed had increased its inflation forecasts, raising the level of concern for market participants. As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer duration equities (those businesses whose values significantly depend on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but most notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period, it had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, though the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope that the worst economic fears might have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally, in advance of a significant and contentious midterm election in the United States. Adding to investors' woes over the annual period, the bond market delivered stomach-churning performance as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index's -15.68% return.

Within the S&P 1500 Growth Index, only three sectors were able to post positive returns for the period: energy (though little more than 1% of the index weight) gained 52% on supply concerns, whereas more defensively oriented utilities (+5%) and consumer staples (+2%) also gained as investors sought to reduce risk. Materials (-7%), health care (-12%), industrials (-15%), financials (-18%), real estate (-21%) and information technology (-22%) each outperformed the index, while consumer discretionary (-33%) and communication services (-48%) significantly lagged.

Security selection within the financials sector was additive to relative Fund performance for the period. Specifically, our holdings in regional banks and consumer finance represented major contributors. Security selection within the health care sector also boosted results, notably holdings in pharmaceuticals and managed health care. The Fund's average overweight to the health care sector was also supportive on a relative basis. The Fund started the period at an underweight relative to the benchmark index but saw its health care weight increase over the course of the year.

Individual position selection within information technology was the Fund's biggest detractor to relative performance. Holdings in the internet services & infrastructure and the technology hardware, storage & peripherals industries lagged on a relative basis. Additionally, an underweight to the sector over the course of the period slightly detracted because the sector was a marginal outperformer for the period, despite the market's general preference away from growthier and long-duration sectors. Communication services holdings slightly lagged those of the benchmark. Security selection within the movies & entertainment and the interactive media & services industries of the sector hurt relative returns. Selection in the industrials sector also hindered performance over the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

As we have noted previously, we continue to see many attractive opportunities in what we call "fortress growth" companies that have been unduly caught up in the broader sell-off. These are industry champions that offer well-established economic moats and should provide reliable cash flow generation for years to come. We are also maintaining our investments in a handful of smaller-cap, dynamic growth names that should generate outsized revenue and profit growth, despite a potentially weakening US economy. In many cases these smaller-cap names have been sold off to extremely low relative valuations yet still offer strong growth opportunities.

The Fund did raise its allocation to more defensive consumer staples during the period and also saw an increase to health care—a sector in which many companies' cash flows are less dependent on high or accelerating GDP growth. That said, it should be noted that the valuations of defensive areas of the market are trading at premiums relative to cyclical areas based on forward price-to-earnings ratios. As such, the Fund continues to own a mix of growth opportunities. As always, we continue to believe that prudent stock selection, constant risk management, and patience are the keys to success in markets such as these.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Volatile markets are never easy, and we expect many investors will be surprised that, despite the ups and downs and tremendous negative sentiment, the last third of the annual period saw a marginally positive yet volatile period for Fund and market performance. Looking ahead, we are confident the current wall of worry will be less severe than feared. Interest rates are expected to end the year around 4.00% to 4.25%, but we believe that future rate hikes should be more modest from there. Supply chains are healing rapidly, and inventory levels are now healthy. At the same time, consumers still have relatively strong balance sheets, and the job market remains healthy overall. All these conditions should lay the foundation for solid, even if more muted, earnings growth going forward.

At the time of this writing, we've just passed the midterm elections. Though the final outcomes are still to be determined, it appears that the US will have a divided or balanced Congress, which typically translates to more moderate government actions—traditionally a positive from the market's point of view. Historically, this is seasonally a stronger period for equity markets—the period just before and well after midterm elections. While these factors both speak well for markets, we believe volatility will remain elevated as the European energy crisis and broader economic impacts from a still-recovering, zero-Covid-19 China plays out. Inflation appears to have peaked, though it will likely take a few months or quarters to return to more normal levels. We believe that long-term investors will look back and realize that the earnings power of US growth companies were not permanently damaged. America remains one of the most dynamic financial markets in the world, and we don't believe that will change. As interest rates stabilize and earnings growth resumes, we believe the rally in growth stocks will as well.

CALAMOS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Growth and Income Fund posted a return of -15.55% (Class I Shares at net asset value). In comparison, the S&P 500 Index returned -14.61%, and the ICE BofA All US Convertibles ex Mandatory Index registered a loss of -21.86% for the annual period. We manage this Fund with the goal of achieving upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. For the annual period, Calamos Growth and Income Fund captured 86% of the all-equity index's returns. Since its Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 9.38% on an annualized basis versus a 7.75% gain for the S&P 500 Index and an 8.03% return for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles ex Mandatory Index.

Please discuss the Fund's lower-volatility characteristics.

We believe the Fund's historical lower volatility characteristics are a by-product of our investment style and focus on participating in equity market upside with less volatility than the market as a whole. Beta is one popular statistic for measuring volatility. Beta considers a fund's historic volatility versus the market, which is assigned a beta of 1.0. A fund with half the volatility of the market would have a beta of 0.5, whereas a fund with a beta of 2.0 would have been twice as volatile as the market. Since its inception, the Fund has had a beta of 0.76 (Class I shares) versus the S&P 500 Index. The Fund, therefore, outperformed the broader equity market as measured by the S&P 500 Index and with less volatility. Please note that past performance does not indicate future results and that beta is one of many measures of risk.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take in an effort to tame inflation. Prior to the start of this annual period, the Fed had increased its inflation forecasts, raising the level of concern for market participants. As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer duration equities (those businesses whose values significantly depend on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, although the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies that offered hope that the worst economic fears may have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally in advance of a significant and contentious US midterm election. Adding to investors' woes over the period, the bond market delivered a difficult performance as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index's -15.68% return.

Calamos Growth and Income Fund   (Unaudited)

Convertible securities also saw a precipitous decline of -17.07% for the period, as reported above. Although convertible securities historically haven't declined more than the broad equity market, investors were highly averse to small to mid-sized growth companies during the annual period, and the underlying equities of convertible issuers (which lean heavier toward small and mid caps) saw a drop of approximately -37% during the 12-month period—similar to the performance of small-cap or mid-cap growth equity indices. When measured against the underlying equities, convertible securities did offer more traditional downside resilience. More recently, convertible securities have participated to a higher degree in a more traditional pattern relative to the broad equity market as small and mid-sized growth businesses have been under less intense selling pressure than they were during the first few months of this annual period.

Within the equity market, value stocks were more in favor over the period, as noted earlier. The S&P 500 Value Index declined -3.66% for the past 12 months, whereas the S&P 500 Growth Index fell -24.43%, and the overall S&P 500 Index returned -14.61%. In the S&P 500 Index, energy was the big winner with a 65% return as a result of global supply concerns. More defensively oriented areas, such as consumer staples (+5%) and utilities (+3%) fared well, whereas health care (+1%) also finished in positive territory for the period. Industrials (-8%), materials (-11%) and financials (-14%) led the overall index, whereas information technology (-20%), real estate (-21%), consumer discretionary (-29%) and communication services (-41%) lagged.

For the 12-month annual period, the Fund slightly lagged the all-equity index because of issue selection with a slight bias toward quality growth stocks versus a market that rewarded more value-oriented stocks. As mentioned, the period was an uncharacteristically difficult period for convertible bonds relative to the broad equity market, although convertible preferred securities held in the portfolio did contribute to relative performance. From a sector allocation perspective, the portfolio's overweight to energy, the equity market's leading sector, was additive as was an underweight to information technology and a temporarily higher level of cash in light of difficult market conditions. Conversely, an underweight to health care and an overweight to communication services detracted from a sector perspective. At the individual position level, selection within health care and financials lagged those of the all-equity index. Health care holdings in pharmaceuticals gained handsomely but lagged those of the all-equity index, and financials sector investments in multi-sector holdings life & health insurance held back return.

How is the Fund positioned?

We believe the best positioning for this environment remains a defensive posture with a focus on lower-risk businesses that offer lower beta, high-quality balance sheets and higher return on capital. Areas such as health care, lower beta staples, defense, software (cyber defense and system software) and parts of telecom provide some of those attributes. We have been positive on the supply/demand environment for energy, but we are turning somewhat cautious as global growth slows. From an asset class perspective, cash and short-term Treasuries are now a useful tool to lower volatility in a multi-asset class portfolio, given their current positive yields. Despite elevated absolute volatility, we are selectively using options to gain some cyclical exposure in case our watch factors surprise to the upside.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

In challenging economic and market environments, we believe that balancing the long- and short-term outlooks provides the best insights for portfolio positioning.

Focusing on either one exclusively can lead to overly optimistic or pessimistic positioning that may not be warranted in the volatile markets.

We remain confident that the positive long-term growth trajectory of the US economy and the cash flow generation capabilities of US companies remain intact. The ability of management teams to seek to identify emerging short- and long-term trends and the adaptability of business models and cost structures are central to our long-term favorable view. We see attractive long-term upside in the US equity market from current market levels, which we view at fair value or below fair value for a majority of US companies.

In the short term, the extreme conditions (both positive and negative) that occurred during the past two years dominated by the pandemic have not yet reverted to a more normal environment or to the long-term mean. Since mid-2021 our expectation has been for a lower growth environment in 2022 and 2023. This slower growth outlook has been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and China's Covid-19 shutdowns. These two factors also have worsened the inflation environment, causing most central banks around the world to raise interest rates, which should further slow growth. As we have seen so far in 2022, slowing growth, high inflation and rising interest rates have led to significant declines in asset prices. We have yet to see significant reductions in earnings estimates, but we can expect that to occur in the near term for any number of reasons.

A mean reversion transition needs to occur for the challenging short-term environment to migrate to the more normalized long-term trend. We are watching several factors that would indicate this trend is occurring. Those factors include improved labor market participation; a normalization of consumer spending versus income, including lower real goods consumption; lower retail inventory levels; improved supply chains for certain areas of manufacturing; improved supply/demand for commodities (oil and food); central banks slowing their restrictive policies; resumption of activity in China; and a reduction in military activity in Ukraine. This list is long, and many of these factors may take a long time to sort out. However, the equity markets are forward looking, so improvement in any of these factors should be positive for asset markets.

CALAMOS DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Dividend Growth Fund returned -14.76% (Class I shares at net asset value), in line with the S&P 500 Index return of -14.61%.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take in an effort to tame inflation. Prior to the start of this annual period, the Fed had increased its inflation forecasts, raising the level of concern for market participants. As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer-duration equities (those businesses whose values significantly depend on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, notwithstanding the human tragedies associated with the armed conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but most notably, from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points while pointing toward additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, but the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope that the worst economic fears may have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally in advance of a significant and contentious US midterm election. Adding to investors' woes, the bond market delivered difficult performance as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, registering a -15.68% return for the period.

Within the equity market, value stocks were more in favor over the period, as noted earlier. The S&P 500 Value Index declined -3.66% for the past 12 months, whereas the S&P 500 Growth Index fell -24.43%, and the overall S&P 500 Index returned -14.61%. In the S&P 500 Index, energy was the big winner with a 65% return on account of global supply concerns. More defensively oriented areas such as consumer staples (+5%) and utilities (+3%) fared well, whereas health care (+1%) also finished in positive territory for the period. Industrials (-8%), materials (-11%) and financials (-14%) led the overall index, whereas information technology (-20%), real estate (-21%), consumer discretionary (-29%) and communication services (-41%) all lagged.

The Fund's focus on higher cash flows and higher dividend yielding securities was a positive contributor to performance over the period, but a slight bias toward stocks with higher growth attributes as a result of sector decisions hindered performance in light of the market's preference for value stocks. From a sector perspective, decisions were a net positive to relative performance. The Fund was smartly overweight in the energy sector, which was the top-performing sector, and underweight in communication services, the worst-performing sector, which was also a positive relative contributor. A slight overweight to consumer discretionary

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund   (Unaudited)

stocks detracted from a sector perspective. Individual security selections were a net drag on relative performance. Selections in consumer discretionary hindered relative performance as growthier names struggled relative to the market, and holdings in the auto parts & equipment and general merchandise stores industries hurt relative returns. Selection in financials lagged those of the market, and multi-sector holdings and our nonparticipation in life & health insurance held back return.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund remains broadly diversified by sector, favoring investments in dividend-paying equities. Allocations to health care and energy rose during the period, with increased weights in pharmaceuticals and integrated oil & gas. By contrast, allocations to consumer discretionary and communication services decreased over the period with reductions to internet & direct marketing retail and interactive media & services. We continue to seek higher-quality businesses with dividends or dividend growth potential, which in our view should continue to serve the portfolio well in an uncertain market environment.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

In challenging economic and market environments, we believe that balancing the long- and short-term outlooks provides the best insights for portfolio positioning. Focusing on either one exclusively can lead to overly optimistic or pessimistic positioning that may not be warranted in the volatile markets.

We remain confident that the positive long-term growth trajectory of the US economy and the cash flow generation capabilities of US companies remain intact. The ability of management teams to seek to identify emerging short- and long-term trends along with the adaptability of business models and cost structures are central to our long-term favorable view. We see attractive long-term upside in the US equity market from current market levels, which we view at fair value or below fair value for a majority of US companies.

As the Fed continued to raise inflation expectations while speaking more aggressively about interest rate hikes, longer duration equities (those businesses whose values significantly depend on high and growing cash flows over longer time frames) began to struggle in mid-to-late November 2021.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period, it had raised rates five times, totaling 300 basis points while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come.

The US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, peaked in early January, though the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope that the worst economic fears may have already been priced into the market. At the end of the annual period, equity markets were in the midst of another solid rally in advance of a significant and contentious midterm election in the United States. Adding to investors' woes over the annual period, the bond market delivered difficult performance, as evidenced by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index's -15.68% return.

Within the equity market, value stocks were more in favor over the period, seen in the S&P 500 Value Index's modest -3.66% decline over the past 12 months, whereas the S&P 500 Growth Index fell -24.43%, and the overall S&P 500 Index declined -14.61%. Energy was the big winner in the S&P 500 Index because of global supply concerns, with a 65% return. More defensively oriented areas such as consumer staples (+5%) and utilities (+3%) fared well, and health care (+1%) also finished in positive territory for the period. Industrials (-8%), materials (-11%) and financials (-14%) led the overall index, whereas information technology (-20%), real estate (-21%), consumer discretionary (-29%) and communication services (-41%) lagged.

Overall, sector allocations were additive to the Fund's relative performance over the annual period, highlighted by an overweight to consumer staples and underweight to information technology. Although sector positioning was helpful, security selection within sectors caused a relative drag on performance. The portfolio favored names with higher growth opportunities and was not

overweight toward the outright cheap names in the index, which the market favored during the period. Security selection within the information technology sector, notably holdings in the internet services & infrastructure and semiconductors industries, underperformed during the period, given that investors shied away from higher growth stocks. Additionally, selection within the footwear and auto parts & equipment industries of the consumer discretionary sector lagged.

How is the Fund positioned?

At the end of the period, in terms of economic sectors, the largest portfolio weight resides in information technology. Yet this sector also represents our largest underweight to the S&P 500 Index because we remain selective within this commonly long-duration equity sector. At the period's end, we hold no names within the real estate sector. The Fund maintains its overweight allocations to consumer staples and industrials relative to the index. Food distributors and railroads represent the largest industry overweights within the respective sectors. Allocations to health care and energy rose during the period, with increased weights in pharmaceuticals and integrated oil & gas. By contrast, allocations to information technology and communication services decreased over the period, with reductions to application software and interactive media & services.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Volatile markets are never easy, and we expect many investors will be surprised that, despite the ups and downs and tremendous negative sentiment, the last third of the annual period was marginally positive yet volatile for Fund and market performance. Looking ahead, we are confident the current wall of worry will be less severe than feared. Interest rates are expected to end the year around 4.00% to 4.25%, but future rate hikes should be more modest from there. Supply chains are healing rapidly, and inventory levels are now healthy. At the same time, consumers still have relatively strong balance sheets, and the job market remains healthy overall. All of these conditions should lay the foundation for solid, if more muted, earnings growth going forward.

At the time of this writing, we've just passed the midterm elections. Though the final outcomes are still to be determined, it appears that the United States will have a divided or balanced Congress, which typically translates to more moderate government actions—traditionally a positive from the market's point of view. Historically, this is a seasonally stronger period for equity markets—the period just before and well after midterm elections. Despite these potentially helpful developments, volatility will likely remain elevated as the European energy crisis and broader economic impact from a still-recovering zero-Covid China play out. Inflation appears to have peaked, though it will likely take a few months or quarters to return to more normal levels. We believe that long-term investors will look back and realize that the earnings power of US growth companies was not permanently damaged. America remains one of the most dynamic financial markets in the world. As interest rates stabilize and earnings growth resumes, we believe the rally in growth stocks will as well.

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos International Growth Fund returned -36.54% (Class I shares at net asset value), versus a -29.35% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and 24.35% return for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index for the period. The Fund's return landed within the 78th percentile of the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category during the annual period.*

Since its inception on March 17, 2005, the Fund has returned 6.12% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) ahead of the 4.89% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and the 4.32% return for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate long-term excess returns over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

International stocks faced a challenging environment over the annual period amid a backdrop of persistently higher inflation, rising interest rates, and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations, reflecting risks around interest rates, high commodity costs, and slowing demand fundamentals. The Calamos International Growth Fund lagged the MSCI EAFE Growth Index over the period due to trailing relative security selection. Our holdings in foreign companies with secular and cyclical growth characteristics trailed the more defensive and dividend-oriented areas that held up relatively better amid the broad global equity sell-off.

The Fund's average overweight stance and favorable security selection in energy helped relative performance. In particular, positions in the integrated oil & gas industry and names in the oil & gas exploration & production industry delivered gains. Security selection in materials added to the Fund's performance, especially in the diversified metals & mining and copper industries.

Over the period, security selection and an average overweight allocation within the information technology sector hampered relative results. Holdings in the semiconductors and application software industries notably underperformed. Selection and an average overweight stance within the internet & direct marketing retail and auto parts & equipment industries of the consumer discretionary sector also curbed return.

From a geographic standpoint, the Fund's relative underweight in emerging markets contributed to performance over the period. Specifically, the Fund's underweight position in Emerging Asia and EMEA added value. On the flipside, the Fund's relative security selection in Emerging Asia and Japan detracted from relative results, as growth-oriented businesses in those markets trailed the benchmark.

*  Data as of 10/31/22. Morningstar category percentile ranking is based on annualized total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. Calamos International Growth Fund Class I Shares were in the 78th, 11th, 36th and 57th percentiles of 444, 387, 346 and 223 funds for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, for the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's regional and country positioning reflects the combined inputs from our top-down global framework and our bottom-up security analysis. Our investment team evaluates macroeconomic factors and growth opportunities, actively integrating them into the investment decision-making process.

  We positioned the Fund with a combination of secular and cyclical growth companies, commodity exposures, select defensives, and reopening opportunities. We are emphasizing companies with pricing power, positive earnings momentum, quality balance sheets, and attractive valuations.

  Information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials are the largest sector weights. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, apparel & luxury goods, semiconductor equipment, diversified banks, aerospace & defense, internet retail, and integrated oil & gas.

  We own holdings in energy and materials, with companies positioned to benefit from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics, attractive capital efficiency, and cash flow characteristics.

  We have an underweight stance in more defensive areas, including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms.

From a geographic perspective, we own diversified holdings in Europe with a blend of end markets and business types. Our positioning largely consists of higher-quality global businesses that sustain strong balance sheets and demonstrate less reliance on demand in Europe. We own companies in Japan with durable business models, positioned to benefit from improving exports and relative earnings momentum. We own positions in emerging markets across a diverse set of economies and within key demand areas, including semiconductor equipment, interactive media, and higher-quality financials.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

International stocks continue to confront a set of complex crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, alongside evolving policy actions, corporate earnings, and geopolitical factors. With persistent global inflation and tighter monetary policy, the financial markets remain uncertain, and we expect global volatility will continue until these risks resolve. Within this complicated environment, we seek to identify ways to capitalize on volatility, including a range of opportunities at the thematic, regional and market-cap level.

In terms of Fund positioning, we emphasize companies with favorable pricing power, stronger earnings momentum, quality balance sheets and attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, industrials, health care, financials, consumer discretionary, and energy with compelling fundamentals. We believe our active investment approach and long-term perspective positions us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in international markets.

CALAMOS EVOLVING WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund returned -34.39% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a -30.73% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Since its Class I shares inception on August 15, 2008, the Fund has returned 3.53% on an annualized basis compared with the 1.31% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We believe this demonstrates the Fund's ability to access emerging market opportunities and deliver leading returns while pursuing a risk-managed investment approach over complete market cycles

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Emerging markets struggled during the annual period against a backdrop of persistently higher inflation, tighter monetary policy, a strong dollar and geopolitical tension. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations in response to risks concerning interest rates, high commodity costs, and slowing demand fundamentals.

Pursuant to our strategies, the Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund navigated the volatile global markets by employing an active blend of economic cohorts across a wide investment universe. The Fund's return trailed the index over the 12-month period due primarily to relative security selection. Our holdings in emerging market companies with secular and cyclical growth characteristics trailed the more defensive and value-oriented market areas that held up relatively better amid the significant sell-off in emerging markets.

The Fund's favorable security selection in energy helped buoy relative returns. In particular, our holdings in the integrated oil & gas and oil & gas exploration & production industries represented major contributors. Leading security selection in consumer staples added to the Fund's performance. Holdings in soft drinks and hypermarkets & super centers were the main contributors.

Over the period, security selection and an average underweight stance within the information technology sector detracted from relative performance. Holdings in semiconductors and IT consulting & other services lost ground on a relative basis. Selection in communication services held back return. Specifically, holdings in interactive home entertainment and our lack of representation in integrated telecommunication services hindered results.

From a geographic standpoint, the Fund benefitted from leading security selection and an underweight allocation in EMEA. In contrast, the Fund's security selection in Emerging Asia hampered returns. Specifically, our holdings in Taiwan and China trailed their peers in the benchmark, as growth-oriented names underperformed in the period. In addition, security selection in Emerging Latin America dampened relative results, while our average overweight position was supportive.

OVERVIEW

The Fund offers an active, risk-managed strategy to access growth opportunities in emerging markets. The Fund invests in emerging market-domiciled and developed market-domiciled companies with significant revenue exposures attributable to emerging markets.

KEY FEATURES

  Focuses on higher-quality companies with compelling growth attributes.

  Conducts research across the capital structure and utilizes Calamos' experience in convertible securities to dynamically manage the risk profile.

  Emphasizes countries enacting structural reforms and improving economic freedoms, which we believe enhances growth prospects and mitigates risk.

  Identifies durable secular themes that provide a tailwind for sustainable growth and a franchise premium.

PORTFOLIO FIT

Because of its focus on risk management, the fund can serve as a long-term emerging-market allocation.

How is the Fund positioned?

We maintain a vigilant but constructive view on medium-term opportunities in emerging markets. Our Fund positioning favors a blend of secular and cyclical growth companies, in addition to commodity exposures, reopening opportunities and select defensives. From a sector perspective, the largest weights reside in financials, consumer discretionary and information technology. We own holdings within key demand areas, including high-quality financials, internet retail, semiconductors, interactive media & services, apparel & luxury goods, and aerospace.

From a geographic perspective, we favor investments in India, Brazil, select names in China and increased opportunities in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Emerging markets continue to navigate a set of complex crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity, evolving central bank policy, corporate earnings, and geopolitical factors. With inflationary pressures persisting and monetary policy tightening, markets remain uncertain, and we expect equity volatility to continue until these risks resolve. Despite this complicated backdrop, we seek to identify ways to capitalize on volatility, including a range of opportunities at the sector and thematic levels.

In terms of Fund positioning, we favor companies with pricing power, strong earnings momentum and high-quality balance sheets. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in consumer discretionary, financials, information technology, industrials, and energy with attractive bottom-up fundamentals. We believe that our active investment approach and long-term perspective position us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in emerging markets.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/22, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.60%, Class C shares is 2.34% and Class I shares is 1.35%. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023 to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A, Class C, and Class I are limited to 1.30%, 2.05%, and 1.05% of average net assets, respectively. Calamos Advisors may recapture previously waived expense amounts within the same fiscal year for any day where the respective Fund's expense ratio falls below the contractual expense limit up to the expense limit for that day. This undertaking is binding on Calamos Advisors and any of its successors and assigns. This agreement is not terminable by either party. The expense ratios shown above may differ from the more recent expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

†  Average annual total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments as an annualized average assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Performance shown reflects the effects of an expense reimbursement that improved results. Load-adjusted returns are adjusted for the maximum front-end sales load of 4.75% for Class A shares and returns for Class C shares have been adjusted for the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

NOTES:

The graph does not reflect the income taxes that you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Fund performance includes reinvestment of dividends and adjustment for the maximum sales charge for Class A shares. The performance of other classes will vary from the performance of the class shown based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders investing in different share classes.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index considered broadly representative of emerging market equity performance. The index represents companies within the constituent emerging markets that are available to investors worldwide. The index is calculated on a total return basis, which includes reinvestment of gross dividends before deduction of withholding taxes.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect deduction of fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these instruments and, accordingly, may result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

CALAMOS GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Global Equity Fund returned -29.20% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus an -18.09% return for the MSCI World Index and -19.58% return for the MSCI ACWI Index. The Fund's return finished ahead of its category peer average in the period, landing in the 49th percentile of the Morningstar Global Large Stock Growth category.*

We believe the Fund's compelling medium and long-term performance record demonstrates its ability to generate excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments. Since its inception on March 2, 2007, the Fund has returned 7.66% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.12% return for the MSCI World Index and 5.66% return for the MSCI ACWI Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Global stocks struggled over the annual period amid a backdrop of higher inflation, rising interest rates and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations in light of risks concerning interest rates, high commodity costs, and slowing demand fundamentals. The Fund trailed the index over the period due to trailing relative security selection. Many of our Fund holdings in global companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the more defensive and dividend-oriented market areas that held up relatively better amid the broad sell-off.

The Fund's average overweight stance and favorable security selection in energy promoted relative results. Our holdings in the oil & gas exploration & production and integrated oil & gas industries added to return. An average underweight allocation in industrials also helped performance. The main contributors within this sector were construction & engineering and industrial machinery positions.

Over the period, security selection and an average overweight allocation within the information technology sector held back relative returns. Holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries lagged on a relative basis. Selection and an average overweight position in consumer discretionary, specifically in the apparel, accessories & luxury goods and the casinos & gaming industries, lost ground on a relative basis.

From a geographic standpoint, favorable security selection in Emerging Latin America aided results. Specifically, our holdings in Brazil promoted returns. In contrast, security selection in Emerging Asia hindered relative performance.

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests in equities of companies around the globe. We seek firms demonstrating what we believe to be key growth characteristics, including increasing profit margins and high returns on invested capital.

KEY FEATURES

  Flexibly seeks growth globally, searching for the best risk/reward opportunities across countries, market capitalizations and sectors.

  Seeks global growth companies that may benefit from long-term secular themes, including a burgeoning global middle class and increasing demand for information and entertainment.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can serve as a growth-oriented addition to a strategic global equity allocation and may complement or provide an alternative to value or blended styles.

Sector weightings are subject to change daily and are calculated as a percentage of net assets. The table excludes cash or cash equivalents, any government/sovereign bonds or broad based index hedging securities the Fund may hold.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is positioned with a combination of secular growth, cyclicals, commodities exposure, reopening opportunities and select defensives. Information technology, health care, industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary constitute the largest sector weights in the Fund. We hold key industry positions in pharmaceuticals, diversified banks, construction & engineering, aerospace & defense, software, and oil & gas. In addition, we own a range of holdings in energy and materials spanning companies we believe are positioned to benefit from supply-and-demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency. We maintain an underweight stance in more defensive areas, including utilities, real estate, consumer staples and traditional telecoms.

From a geographic perspective, we own names within secular growth, cyclicals, and commodity businesses in the United States that prioritize earnings growth and advantaged business models. We own diversified holdings in Europe with a blend of end markets and business types. Our positioning largely consists of higher-quality global businesses that sustain strong balance sheets and demonstrate little reliance on demand in Europe. We have a modest weight in Japan, and we own multiple companies with attractive business models and relative earnings momentum. We own positions in emerging markets within key demand areas such as interactive media, apparel, and high-quality financials.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Global stocks continue to confront a set of complex crosscurrents. We are analyzing many aspects of economic activity alongside evolving policy actions, corporate earnings, and geopolitical factors. With persistent global inflation and tighter monetary policy, financial markets remain uncertain, and we expect global volatility will continue until these risks resolve. Within this complicated environment, we seek to identify ways to capitalize on volatility, including various opportunities at the thematic, regional and market-cap levels.

In terms of Fund positioning, we emphasize companies with favorable pricing power, strong earnings momentum, quality balance sheets and attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, industrials, health care, financials, energy and consumer discretionary with compelling fundamentals. We believe that our active investment approach and long-term perspective position us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in global markets.

The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse Fund expenses through March 1, 2023 to the extent necessary so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, short interest, short dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A, Class C, and Class I are limited to 1.40%, 2.15%, and 1.15% of average net assets, respectively. The Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares (as a percentage of average net assets) to 1.15% less the annual sub-transfer agency ratio for the Fund.

CALAMOS GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12-months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Global Opportunities Fund returned -23.66% (Class I shares at net asset value), versus the MSCI ACWI Index's -19.58% return and MSCI World Index's -18.09% decline.

We believe the Fund's compelling medium and long-term performance record demonstrates its ability to generate excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments. Since its inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 6.99% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value), compared to the 6.09% return of the MSCI ACWI Index and 6.34% return of the MSCI World Index. We manage the Fund with the goal of achieving upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. We believe these figures demonstrate the Fund's ability to generate attractive long-term returns while pursuing a risk-managed investment approach.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Global stocks struggled over the 12-month period amid a backdrop of persistently high inflation, rising interest rates, and heightened geopolitical tension. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered their expectations in response to potential risks related to interest rates, high commodity costs and slowing demand fundamentals.

Pursuant to our risk-managed equity strategy, the Global Opportunities Fund navigated volatile markets while employing an active blend of common stocks, convertibles, and options. The Fund's performance over the period reflected the widespread declines across each of these asset classes. The Fund's relative return also trailed due to individual security selection. Our holdings in global companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed the more defensive and value-oriented market areas that held up relatively better amid the broad sell-off across markets.

The Fund's average overweight stance and favorable security selection in energy helped buoy relative returns. In particular, our holdings in the integrated oil & gas and oil & gas exploration & production industries supported relative results. Leading security selection in consumer discretionary added to the Fund's performance. The main contributors within this sector were automobile manufacturers and internet & direct marketing retail.

Over the annual period, selection within the information technology sector, primarily holdings in the semiconductors and data processing & outsourced services industries, dampened return. Security selection and an average underweight stance within the diversified banks and property & casualty insurance industries of the financials sector lagged on a relative basis.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
62


Calamos Global Opportunities Fund   (Unaudited)

From a regional standpoint, our leading security selection in Canada contributed to performance. Our security selection and an underweight stance in EMEA also bolstered return. In particular, our lack of exposure to Russia contributed to relative performance. In contrast, selection in Emerging Asia hampered relative results, given that growth-oriented names underperformed the benchmark. In addition, security selection and an overweight allocation in Europe detracted from results in the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

In terms of Fund positioning, we emphasize companies with favorable pricing power, stronger earnings momentum, quality balance sheets, and attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, industrials, health care, financials, energy, and consumer discretionary companies with compelling fundamentals.

  We have positioned the Fund with a combination of secular growth, cyclicals and commodities exposures, recovery opportunities, and select defensives.

  Information technology, health care and industrials constitute the largest sector weights in the Fund. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, diversified banks, software, semiconductors, aerospace & defense, and oil & gas.

  We own a range of holdings in energy and materials, spanning companies positioned to benefit from favorable supply and demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency.

  We maintain an underweight stance in certain defensive areas, including utilities, real estate, and more traditional telecoms.

  Through a geographic lens, we own secular growth, cyclical and commodity businesses in the United States, which reflects our earnings growth, pricing power, and relative valuation.

  We own diverse holdings in Europe with a blend of end markets and business types. Positioning largely consists of high-quality global businesses that sustain strong balance sheets and demonstrate less reliance on demand in Europe.

  We have modest weight in Japan. We own multiple companies with better earnings momentum and more attractive business models.

  We own positions in emerging markets within key demand areas such as interactive media, retail, semiconductors, and higher-quality financials.

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

The recently launched Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund (CSGIX) provides investors exposure to an asset class often underrepresented in portfolios with the potential for diversification and alpha opportunities. Since its inception on March 31, 2022, the Fund has returned -23.40% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the -21.99% return of the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (Net).

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

International stocks faced a challenging environment over the period amid a backdrop of persistent higher inflation, rising interest rates, a strong dollar, and geopolitical tension. Looking forward, investors and companies have lowered expectations in response to potential risks related to interest rates, high commodity costs, and slowing demand fundamentals.

The Fund trailed the index over the period due to trailing relative security selection. Our holdings in small- to mid-capitalization companies with secular and cyclical growth characteristics trailed the more defensive and value-oriented market areas that held up relatively better amid the broad international equity selloff.

Introduction to the Fund

The recently launched Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund (CSGIX) provides investors the following potential benefits:

  Meaningful diversification. International small-cap stocks are less correlated to the US large- and small-cap markets, which we believe makes them excellent candidates for diversifying a portfolio. Non-US small caps are tied more closely to their local economy, serve different customers, and operate in different macroeconomic environments, thereby providing a different source of earnings. The Fund seeks investments in companies with superior earnings growth potential coupled with financial strength and flexibility.

  The potential to add alpha. The international small-cap universe has the greatest number of stocks and fewest analysts per stock. This relative lack of coverage creates an opportunity for the Calamos team to uncover misunderstood or less followed companies, recognizing potential catalysts in advance of the broader market.

  Access to an experienced investment team. The Fund builds on the team's historical success in identifying high-potential companies within key secular themes such as mobility and connectivity; mass digitization; artificial intelligence and automation; global demographic shifts; and advances in nanotech, biotech, and genetics, to name a few.

From a sector perspective, we see opportunities for compelling fundamentals in industrials, consumer discretionary, technology, health care, and energy. We believe that our active investment approach positions us to take advantage of volatility and opportunities in international small caps.

CALAMOS GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE EQUITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the period from Fund inception on December 17, 2021, through October 31, 2022, Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund returned -24.40% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Net return of -21.14%.

What factors influenced performance over the annual period?

During the annual period, equity markets were overwhelmed with a steady diet of concerning news. Perhaps the biggest source of worry was the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the path it might take to tame inflation. Prior to the start of this annual period, the Fed had increased its inflation forecasts, raising the level of concern for market participants.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, further adding to macroeconomic distress, in addition to the human tragedies associated with the conflict. The war disrupted many facets of life, but most notably from an economic perspective, it led to reductions in energy and food supplies, further adding to global inflation woes. The Fed began interest rate hikes on March 17, 2022, and by the end of the annual period, it had raised rates five times for a total of 300 basis points while pointing to additional aggressive hikes still to come. Globally, interest rates have likewise climbed, tightening financial conditions.

Global equity markets sold off throughout the annual period as market sentiment declined with concerns of stagflation—a combination of inflation and stagnant or negative economic growth, but the decline has been interrupted by several strong rallies, which offered hope the worst economic fears may have already been priced into the market. Adding to investors' woes, the bond market delivered difficult performance as evidenced by the higher-quality bond index, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, registering a -15.68% return for the period.

Within the global equity market, the energy sector was the big winner with gains over 35% on global supply concerns. More defensively oriented areas such as health care, utilities and consumer staples fared well, though saw negative returns for the period. Growthier areas of the market, such as information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services, all lagged the market significantly.

The Fund's performance was most negatively affected by the absence of energy investments over the period. It's quite rare for the energy sector to display such outperformance over the entire market, besides the fact that the energy sector and its accompanying volatility is not suitable for our investment approach and mandate. In total, sector allocations were a net drag on relative performance, but sector allocations excluding energy were positive to relative performance,

highlighted by our underweight to the underperforming communication services sector. At the individual issue selection level, the Fund was hurt by the market's strong bias to value-oriented and cheaper stocks, as opposed to our bias toward quality growth. Selection within health care lagged, notably in the health care equipment and pharmaceuticals industries. Fund holdings in industrials also trailed, largely within the electrical components & equipment industry.

How is the Fund positioned?

The portfolio remains broadly diversified and anticipates a low turnover in higher-quality businesses. It's our philosophy that companies with strong ESG characteristics are better equipped to adapt to change and to avoid unnecessary liabilities, thereby contributing to investor return potential and risk reduction—integrating ESG analysis with traditional financial analysis produces better financial and societal results. The Fund seeks to achieve above-average returns with lower volatility by focusing on companies that generate higher returns on capital, possess better growth prospects, and maintain sustainable competitive advantages over their peers. We believe a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks can produce above-average market returns with lower volatility over the long term.

The fund maintained its overweight to western European markets, while holding an underweight to US holdings. As of the end of the period, the Fund's largest sector overweights reside in industrials and materials with energy and consumer staples comprising the largest underweights.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

Inflation data continues to dominate the investing ecosystem. The stock market reflects the cost of inflation, and central banks are increasingly willing to pay for it at the expense of the economy. We believe we are closer to the end than the start of this tightening cycle, but the drainage of liquidity hasn't fully taken hold yet. As such, inflation and volatility are likely to stick around for a while longer.

We all know that the stock market isn't the economy, but it's a decent proxy for the growth outlook. Economists are slashing their growth forecasts while boosting inflation outlooks. Wall Street analysts are cutting earnings estimates as higher costs and rate pressures weigh on corporate margins. How should investors respond? How about concentrating on high-quality global leaders with strong balance sheets and environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics that can withstand tougher times. These global leaders will emerge from the downturn in a position of competitive strength with increased market share and shareholder returns.

We are fiduciaries seeking superior financial returns with less risk. ESG investing clearly aligns with this goal. ESG is not an asset class or an investment style. It is an enhancement to the investment process that provides a more holistic and complete view of risk and opportunity. ESG integration is the consideration of material nonfinancial factors, which are often unpriced externalities with long term risk-and-reward implications. We use this material nonfinancial information as we seek to make better investment decisions and build stronger portfolios.

It is our opinion that companies with strong ESG management and oversight are less likely to experience disruptions to their growth trajectory, cash flows, and earnings visibility. These are the primary drivers of stocks prices and valuation multiples. If companies don't manage their ESG risks and opportunities well, they won't keep up with their competitors. Firms that don't adapt to rising environmental constraints, changing consumer preferences, and societal shifts will face significant challenges. In addition, raising capital, attracting talent, and maintaining a positive brand image will be more difficult.

On October 31, 2022, the Board of Trustees approved a proposal to liquidate the Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund (the "Fund"). It is expected that the Fund will be liquidated in the first quarter of 2023. Additional information will be provided to shareholders regarding the timing of the liquidation, including the date on which the Fund will close to new investors and the date on which it will close to investments from current investors.

CALAMOS TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Total Return Bond Fund returned -14.92% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the -15.68% return of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and the -16.12% return of peers in the Morningstar Intermediate Core-Plus Bond Category.

Since its Class I shares inception on June 27, 2007, the Fund gained 2.87% on an annualized basis versus the 2.78% return for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Economic and market conditions deteriorated rapidly during the second half of the annual period. Equity markets traded to all-time highs near the end of the 2021 calendar year as inexpensive capital and a pandemic-weary populace joined forces in lifting investment and spending across a variety of industries. By June, however, the S&P 500 Index entered bear market territory as rotating inflation and revised corporate earnings outlooks began taking hold.

From a nominal perspective, some areas such as retail sales and personal spending indicate that consumer activity is growing even as inflation related to food and energy has driven up the cost of essentials to uncomfortable highs. Meanwhile, purchasing manager indices related to services, calibrated to indicate growth when above 50, have not fallen below that critical level. In stark contrast, consumer confidence levels hover near all-time lows, primarily driven by gloomy expectations for the future. Further, the housing sector has slowed to a crawl. All this points to a significant deceleration in economic activity—and although time will tell whether this leads to a domestic or global recession, the risk of one is clearly increasing.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund   (Unaudited)

Inflation measures have continued to reflect price increases across a wide range of goods and services. The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of the price change in goods as they leave their place of production, grew at greater than 8% annualized in September. PPI sometimes serves as a leading indicator for consumer prices because producers will pass along the higher cost of raw materials to consumers in future months. This only raises the level of concern as consumer prices continue to register near multi-decade highs.

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) has turned its focus entirely to fighting persistent inflation and anchoring its decision-making to long-term inflation expectations. A severe decoupling of inflation expectations from the Fed's stated target of 2% over time may lead to changes in consumer behavior and a greater likelihood of a price-wage spiral. Having already hiked its overnight interest rate from the zero-lower bound to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%, markets are anticipating five more 25-basis-point Fed hikes to take effect before midyear 2023. The actual amount of policy tightening from here will be largely driven by how the inflation environment unfolds in the coming months. In addition, quantitative tightening has officially begun, with the Fed allowing balance sheet holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities to roll off as opposed to reinvesting proceeds.

Covid-19 is far from gone, but its influence on markets has waned as governments attempt to strike a balance between public health and economic normalcy. A lack of future fiscal stimulus will also translate to a deceleration in spending because Covid-era transfer payments are unlikely to reemerge.

Domestic equity markets delivered deeply negative returns across market capitalizations and styles. Historically, defensive sectors such as consumer nondiscretionary, utilities and health care have outperformed, whereas the consumer discretionary and technology sectors fared worse. The strongest performing sector across asset classes has been energy, which is unusual given the sector's unclear growth outlook. Energy's recent leadership likely reflects the strength of both the commodity complex and structural issues in the sector.

Corporate credit markets have exhibited less volatility than stocks indicate. After beginning the annual period near historic all-time tights, investment-grade spreads closed the period close to cycle wides of 158 basis points. The velocity of the move wider was strongest during the first calendar quarter of 2022 and has settled into a slower migration since, but the prevailing direction is consistent. Given the Fed's policy tightening and spread widening, there are now frequent opportunities to buy investment-grade bonds with 6% coupons, territory that would have been reserved for B-rated credits only a year ago. Issuance volumes dropped precipitously for several months, leading to a contraction in the size of the corporate debt market for the first time in over a decade during the third calendar quarter because borrowers are less eager to lock in funding at higher rates.

Entering the annual period, the Treasury curve did not have a single point on it above 2%, reflecting the effective lower-bound policy rate from the Federal Reserve and sanguine inflation expectations based on a general interpretation that price increases were transitory and limited to select areas of the economy affected by supply chain issues. In short order, however, Treasury yields moved substantially higher with short maturities inside of five years climbing by more than 3%, while long-dated maturities of 10 and 30 years rose by more than 2%. All this, coupled with the aforementioned spread widening across risk sectors, drove negative investor returns in core bond strategies. The government-related components of

the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index led sectors with a -13.5% return, Treasuries returned -14.1%, securitized products returned -14.8%, and corporate bonds returned -19.6%.

The Fund held an overweight allocation in corporate debt over the annual review period. Although the overweight position in industrial sector corporate debt detracted from performance, security selection among those same issuers significantly offset the allocation drag and contributed to performance. Security selection among the Fund's positions in the Treasury sector hindered returns, whereas selection among mortgage-backed securities was additive. The team materially decreased the corporate bond allocation during the year. Over the full market cycle, we continued to favor an overweight to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the Fund, given that the additional yield has historically generated superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 5.9 years, short of the 6.1 year duration of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment-grade and out-of-benchmark high yield ratings categories. These overweights led to a lower overall credit quality of A- when compared with the AA- quality of the benchmark. The rapid move higher in Treasury rates coupled with the widening of spreads in risk assets led to negative returns during the annual period—though the Fund finished ahead of both the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and the Morningstar Intermediate Core-Plus Bond Category peer group average. The Fund continues to hold overweight positions in corporate and asset-backed securities and underweight positions in Treasuries and mortgages following the year's activity. Within corporate bonds, our largest overweight allocations are in the transportation and consumer non-cyclical sectors.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

Risk premia are back, and investors are demanding a higher level of compensation for any level of assumed risk across asset classes and securities. This includes higher requirements for equity investments in the form of lower multiples, higher spread compensation for credit risk, and higher term premia for duration risks. Some of these shifts were bound to happen with the Fed unwinding years of extraordinarily easy monetary policy as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. These shifts are related to an outlook for weaker growth and employment data to follow on the heels of persistent, generationally high inflation. We expect the uncertainty and the associated higher levels of compensation to endure.

The probability of left-tail risk (for example, a recession, supply chain issues, return to Covid-19 lockdowns) is also increasing along with the median expectation for growth moving materially lower. This has led to a risk-off environment with lower asset prices. We believe that some of the Fed's activity has transmitted to the real economy as monetary policy moves through financial markets near the short end of its historical 6- to 18-month range. In addition, market reactions ahead of the widely anticipated Fed policy "catch-up" are tightening financial conditions, particularly via higher mortgage rates.

Inflation is rotating away from goods and toward services as more consumer dollars are spent on experiences outside the home post-pandemic, including travel. From our perspective, this is a negative development because goods are largely produced outside the United States, whereas services are almost entirely produced

and consumed domestically, leading to a greater likelihood of a price-wage spiral. In addition, the massive moves higher in shelter components of the consumer price index will continue to play out over the coming quarters as those measurements are gradually included in the calculation. The Fed's inflation fight will likely be longer and more difficult than most market participants are acknowledging. Elevated volatility, which is being stirred up by a wide range of potential outcomes, is likely here to stay.

Given that economic growth at the aggregate level is all about marginal activity, we also expect real economic growth to roll over much more quickly and prominently than broad market expectations. Many individuals in the bottom income quartile have exhausted pandemic savings and are faced with costs of essentials that are hundreds of dollars a month higher than they were a year ago. Although a technical recession may be avoided, this level of deterioration in economic activity will feel like a recession to many Americans.

The broad market outlook appears to be migrating closer to the reality depicted in economic data. We expect additional data deterioration as the Fed accepts weaker employment conditions to defeat inflation before it becomes further entrenched in consumer expectations. Even so, yields have increased significantly, and fixed income securities now offer investors a return for taking risks. In addition, quality assets should provide more of their traditional safe haven status if our bear case does occur.

The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is considered generally representative of the investment-grade bond market.

Morningstar Intermediate-term Core-Plus Bond Category funds invest primarily in investment-grade US fixed-income issues including government, corporate, and securitized debt, but generally have greater flexibility than core offerings to hold noncore sectors such as corporate high yield, bank loan, emergingmarkets debt, and non-US currency exposures. Their durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) typically range between 75% and 125% of the three-year average of the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect deduction of fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund returned -10.45% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the -11.76% return of the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Capped Index.

Since its Class I shares inception on June 27, 2007, the Fund gained 5.53% on an annualized basis versus the 6.96% return of the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Capped Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Economic and market conditions deteriorated rapidly during the second half of the annual period. Equity markets traded to all-time highs near the end of the 2021 calendar year as inexpensive capital and a pandemic-weary populace joined forces to lift investments and spending across a variety of industries. By June, however, the S&P 500 Index entered bear market territory as rotating inflation and revised corporate earnings outlooks began to take hold.

From a nominal perspective, some areas such as retail sales and personal spending indicate that consumer activity is growing, even as inflation related to food and energy has driven up the cost of essentials to uncomfortable highs. Meanwhile, purchasing manager indices related to services, calibrated to indicate growth when above 50, have not fallen below that critical level. In stark contrast, consumer confidence levels hover near all-time lows, primarily driven by gloomy expectations for the future. Further, the housing sector has slowed to a crawl. All this points to a significant deceleration in economic activity—and although time will tell whether this leads to a domestic or global recession, the risk of one is clearly increasing.

OVERVIEW

Through its multi-sector fixed-income strategy, the Fund invests mainly in high-yield securities from US issuers with the goal of generating a high level of current income and total return in excess of the benchmark index over full market cycles.

KEY FEATURES

  Employs bond-by-bond portfolio construction with a focus on being well compensated for risks taken. We believe a disciplined process, grounded in fundamental research, enables us to achieve higher total returns with less volatility.

  Draws on broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include bank loans and preferred securities provides additional opportunities.

  Utilizes robust, independent credit research. Our fixed-income investment process unites quantitative and qualitative analyses into historical and forward-looking models. The result is a credit rating that reflects where a company is heading.

  Applies a macro overlay to capitalize on opportunities in misunderstood industries and sectors. The overlay acts as a risk control that also considers the business cycle, geopolitics, inflation and real rate expectations.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can complement investment-grade credit exposure, providing attractive income and total return potential for more risk-tolerant investors.

Inflation measures have continued to reflect price increases across a wide range of goods and services. The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of the price change in goods as they leave their place of production, grew at greater than 8% annualized in September. The PPI sometimes serves as a leading indicator for consumer prices, considering that producers will pass along the cost of higher raw materials to consumers in future months. This only raises the level of concern as consumer prices continue to register near multi-decade highs.

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) has largely turned its focus toward fighting persistent inflation and anchoring its decision-making to long-term inflation expectations. A severe decoupling of inflation expectations from the Fed's stated target of 2% over time may lead to changes in consumer behavior and a greater likelihood of a price-wage spiral. Having already hiked its overnight interest rate from the zero lower bound to a range of 3.75 – 4.00%, markets are anticipating five additional 25 basis-points hikes to take effect before midyear 2023. The implemented policy tightening will be largely driven by how the inflation environment unfolds in the coming months. In addition, quantitative tightening has officially begun, with the Fed allowing balance sheet holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities to roll off as opposed to reinvesting proceeds.

The effects of Covid-19 are far from gone, but their influence on markets has waned as governments attempt to strike a balance between public health and economic normalcy. A lack of future fiscal stimulus may also translate to deceleration in spending, considering that Covid-19-era transfer payments are unlikely to reemerge.

Domestic equity markets have delivered significantly negative returns across market capitalizations and styles. Historically, defensive sectors such as consumer nondiscretionary, utilities and health care have outperformed, whereas the consumer discretionary and technology sectors fared worse. The strongest performing sector across asset classes has been energy, which is unusual given the sector's uncertain growth outlook. Energy's recent leadership likely reflects the strength of both the commodity complex and structural issues in the sector.

Corporate credit markets have exhibited less volatility than indicated by stocks. After beginning the annual period near historic all-time tights, high yield spreads reached a local wide near 600 basis points greater than similar maturity Treasuries in June. Since then, the market has settled into a trading range of 400 – 550 basis points over the last few months. Although spreads do not indicate particularly high stress or default expectations, issuance volumes have dropped precipitously in recent months because borrowers are less eager to lock in higher funding rates. The Bloomberg Barclays US High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index closed the annual period with option-adjusted spreads at 466 basis points over like maturity Treasuries and a yield of 9.13%.

Performance across credit quality during the annual period was mixed, with B-rated issuers returning -10.8%, BB-rated paper returning -11.7%, and CCC-rated issuers returning -15.5%. At the beginning of the annual period, the trailing 12-month default rate was 0.4%, near all-time lows. At the end of the annual period, default rates had increased to 1.6%, still well below the long-term average of 3%. Regarding our credit quality positioning, security selection among BB-rated bonds contributed to performance, whereas security selection among our CCC-rated holdings hindered performance.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund   (Unaudited)

From a sector perspective, security selection within the energy and insurance sectors contributed to return. Conversely, the Fund's underweight to the energy sector and overweight to the consumer non-cyclical sector weighed negatively on performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund currently has an overweight position in the property and casualty insurance, pharmaceuticals, and airlines; the property and casualty insurance overweight is related to favorable consolidation trends in the industry, and the pharmaceuticals overweight is a result of the team's idiosyncratic positioning among a small number of companies with improving fundamental results. Our largest underweights are those in the consumer cyclical services, electric utilities, and leisure industries. The underweight in the consumer cyclical services industry resulted largely from our decision to favor higher income opportunities in other industries that offered better values.

From a credit-quality perspective, the Fund holds a relative underweight in all below investment grade categories in addition to a corresponding out-of-benchmark allocation to BBB-rated debt. The Fund is positioned short (3.5 years) in comparison with the option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg Barclays US High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (4.0 years).

Over the annual period, the team added to positions in the midstream, airlines and automotive industries and reduced the portfolio's exposure to pharmaceuticals, cable satellite, and other REITs. The increases in the midstream and airlines industries resulted from adding to existing positions and investing in new issues, and the reduction in pharmaceuticals was primarily due to a reduction in positions wherein fundamental deterioration altered our investment theses.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

Risk premia have returned, and investors are demanding a higher level of compensation for any level of assumed risk across asset classes and securities. This includes higher requirements for equity investments in the form of lower multiples, higher spread compensation for credit risk, and higher term premia for duration risks. Some of these shifts were expected considering the unwinding of years of extraordinarily easy monetary policy necessary as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. These shifts are related to an outlook of weaker growth and employment data to follow on the heels of persistent, generationally high inflation. We expect the uncertainty and the associated higher levels of compensation to endure.

The probability of left-tail risk (for example, a recession, supply chain issues, and return to pandemic lockdowns) is increasing while the median expectation for growth materially decreases, which has led to a risk-off environment with lower asset prices. We believe that some of the Fed's activity has transmitted to the real economy as monetary policy moves through financial markets near the short end of its historical 6- to 18-month range. In addition, market reactions ahead of the widely anticipated Fed policy "catch-up" have tightened financial conditions, particularly via higher mortgage rates.

Inflation is rotating away from goods and toward services as more consumer dollars are spent on experiences outside the home post-pandemic, including travel. From our perspective, this is a negative development because goods are largely produced outside the United States, whereas services are almost entirely produced

and consumed domestically, therefore leading to a greater likelihood of a price-wage spiral. In addition, significant increases in shelter components of the Consumer Price Index will continue to play out over coming quarters, and those measurements will be gradually included in our calculation. The Fed's inflation fight will likely be longer and more difficult than most market participants acknowledge. Elevated volatility—stirred up by a wide range of potential outcomes—is likely here to stay.

Given that economic growth at the aggregate level is all about marginal activity, we also expect real economic growth to roll over much more quickly and prominently than broad market expectations indicate. Many individuals in the bottom income quartile have exhausted pandemic savings and are faced with costs of essentials that are hundreds of dollars a month higher than they were a year ago. Although a technical recession may be avoided, this level of deterioration in economic activity will feel like a recession to many Americans.

The broad market outlook appears to migrate closer to the reality depicted in economic data. We expect additional data deterioration as the Fed accepts weaker employment conditions to address inflation before it becomes further entrenched in consumer expectations. Even so, yields have increased significantly, and fixed income securities now offer investors a return for taking risks. In addition, quality assets should provide more of their traditional safe haven status if our bear case does occur.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 ("annual period"), Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund returned -4.77% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the -4.88% return of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index and outperforming the -6.75% return of the Morningstar Short-Term Bond Category peer group.

Since its Class I shares inception on September 19, 2018, the Fund gained 1.17% on an annualized basis, modestly outperforming the 0.78% return for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

What factors influenced performance during the annual period?

Economic and market conditions deteriorated rapidly during the second half of the annual period. Equity markets had traded to all-time highs near the end of the calendar year 2021 as inexpensive capital and a pandemic-weary populace joined forces in lifting investment and spending across a variety of industries. By June, however, the S&P 500 Index had entered bear market territory as rotating inflation and revised corporate earnings outlooks began taking hold.

From a nominal perspective, some areas like retail sales and personal spending indicate that consumer activity is growing even as inflation related to food and energy has driven the cost of essentials to uncomfortably high levels. Meanwhile, purchasing manager indices related to services, which are calibrated to indicate growth when above 50, have not fallen below that critical level. In stark contrast, consumer confidence levels hover near all-time lows, primarily driven by gloomy expectations for the future. Further, the housing sector has slowed to a crawl. All this points to a serious deceleration in economic activity. Although time will tell if all this equates to a domestic or global recession, the risk of one is clearly increasing.

Inflation measures continued to reflect increases in prices across a wide range of goods and services. The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of the price change in goods as they leave their place of production, grew at greater than 8% annualized in September. PPI sometimes serves as a leading indicator for consumer prices because producers will pass along the higher cost of raw materials to consumers in future months.

Having already hiked its overnight interest rate from the zero-lower bound to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%, markets are anticipating five more 25-basis-points Fed hikes to take effect before midyear 2023. The actual amount of policy tightening from here will be largely driven by how the inflation

environment unfolds in the coming months. In addition, quantitative tightening has also officially begun, with the Fed allowing balance sheet holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities to roll off as opposed to reinvesting proceeds.

Covid-19 is far from gone, but its influence on markets has waned as governments attempt to strike the appropriate balance between public health and economic normalcy. A lack of future fiscal stimulus will also translate to a deceleration in spending because Covid-19-era transfer payments are unlikely to reemerge.

Domestic equity markets delivered deeply negative returns across market capitalizations and styles. Historically defensive sectors such as consumer non-discretionary, utilities and healthcare outperformed, whereas consumer discretionary and technology sectors fared worse. The strongest performing sector across asset classes has been energy, which is unusual given the sector's unclear growth outlook. Energy's recent leadership likely reflects the strength of both the commodity complex and structural issues in the sector.

With the Fed engaged in active tightening, short-duration Treasury yields were more volatile than at any time in the past decade, with one-year T-bill yields increasing nearly 450 basis points and three-year note yields increasing over 350 basis points. The Fed had to rapidly adjust its policy path in recognition of stickier forms of inflation threatening to take hold, and Treasury markets logically followed. Short-duration, investment-grade corporate bonds held up better than their intermediate and long-duration counterparts but still more than doubled to close the annual period at 101 basis points above like-maturity Treasuries.

Performance among security types of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index was fairly consistent, with the government-related and Treasury sectors returning -4.8%, while short corporate debt returned -5.0%. The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the 12-month period. As a result of the slightly lower returns among corporate bonds, this overweight allocation detracted from performance. The out-of-benchmark allocation to term loans supported returns. Over the long-term, we continue to favor an overweight to corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and taxable municipal bonds in the Fund, given that the additional yield in short-duration securities has historically generated superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 1.9 years versus the 1.8 years duration of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

The Fund continues to hold an overweight in corporate bonds in both the investment grade and out-of-benchmark high yield categories. These overweights led to a lower overall credit quality of A- compared with the AA quality of the benchmark. The sell-off of short-dated Treasury rates coupled with the widening of credit spreads in risk assets during the annual period led to negative Fund returns, though slightly ahead of the benchmark and measurably ahead of the Morningstar peer group average return. The Fund remains overweight in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. However, the weighting of corporate bonds decreased over the annual period in favor of increasing the Fund's allocation to asset-backed securities. The term loan positions are floating rates in nature, which has helped mitigate exposure to increases in short-term interest rates. The

Fund continues to hold underweight positions in both Treasuries and agencies. Our largest overweight allocations within the corporate bond allocation reside in the consumer noncyclical and consumer cyclical sectors.

Expense Overview

EXPENSE OVERVIEW

As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs. You incur:

1) Transaction costs, including sales charges, or loads, on purchase payment and redemption fees.

2) Ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses.

The examples in this report are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. It is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs associated with investing in each mutual fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

There are two parts of each Fund's chart:

Actual

In this part of the chart, you'll see the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period in each fund from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, the period covered by this report. This chart also shows the actual returns, after expenses, you would have earned during that time. This chart can help you estimate your own expenses. For example, if you invested $8,600 in Class A shares of the fund, simply divide $8,600 by $1,000, then multiply that result by the figure in the Actual Expenses per $1,000 row. In this example, you would multiply 8.6 times the figure.

Hypothetical

In this part of the chart, you'll see the hypothetical expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, and the hypothetical returns, after expenses, you would have earned during that time. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established the guidelines for this chart, including the assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which is what you'll see in the chart. Note that this chart will not help you determine your own expenses, but will help you compare expenses of the fund you own to the expenses of another fund since the information for that fund should be calculated using the same assumptions.

Please note that the expenses shown in the chart are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the chart is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization. CALAMOS INVESTMENT TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust organized December 21, 1987 (the "Trust"), consists of twenty series, Market Neutral Income Fund, Hedged Equity Fund, Phineus Long/Short Fund, Convertible Fund, Global Convertible Fund, Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund, Timpani SMID Growth Fund, Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Dividend Growth Fund, Select Fund, International Growth Fund , Evolving World Growth Fund, Global Equity Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Small Cap Growth Fund (commenced operations on March 31, 2022), Global Sustainable Equities Fund (commenced operations on December 17, 2021), Total Return Bond Fund, High Income Opportunities Fund, and Short-Term Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The Trust currently offers Class A, Class C (except Timpani SMID Growth Fund and Short-Term Bond Fund), and Class I shares of each of the Funds. Class R6 shares are offered in Market Neutral Income Fund, Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund, Timpani SMID Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, International Growth Fund, Global Equity Fund, International Small Cap Growth Fund, and Global Sustainable Equities Fund only.

Significant Accounting Policies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and the Funds are each considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The Funds adhere to the accounting and reporting requirements set forth in ASU 2013-08 and ASC 946. Under U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements and actual results may differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Fund Valuation. The Trust's Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, have designated Calamos Advisors LLC ("Calamos Advisors") to perform fair valuation determinations related to all Fund investments under the oversight of the Board. As "valuation designee" the Calamos Advisors has adopted procedures to guide the determination of the NAV on any day on which the Funds' NAVs are determined. The valuation of the Funds' investments is in accordance with these procedures.

Fund securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the official closing price, which is the last current reported sales price on its principal exchange at the time each Fund determines its net asset value ("NAV"). Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, as determined by NASDAQ, or lacking a NASDAQ Official Closing Price, the last current reported sale price on NASDAQ at the time a Fund determines its NAV. When a last sale or closing price is not available, equity securities, other than option securities, that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange and other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on its principal exchange 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 over-the-counter option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued either by an independent pricing agent approved by the board of trustees or based on a quotation provided by the counterparty to such option under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees.

Fixed income securities, bank loans, certain convertible preferred securities, and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued by independent pricing services or by dealers or brokers who make markets in such securities. Valuations of such fixed income securities, bank loans, certain convertible preferred securities, and non-exchange traded derivatives consider yield or price of equivalent securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data and do not rely exclusively upon exchange or over-the-counter prices.

Trading on European and Far Eastern exchanges and over-the-counter 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 in over-the-counter markets may be valued 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 reported sale price at the time the respective 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. Trading of foreign securities may not take place on every NYSE business

207


Notes to Financial Statements

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 respective 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 is valued at a fair value by the pricing committee.

Each Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to guidelines adopted by Calamos Advisors, if trading in the security is halted or if the value of a security it holds is materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's pricing time but after the close of the primary market or exchange on which the security is listed. Those procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by Calamos Advisors, 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.

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. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund's net asset value ("NAV").

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of October 31, 2022. 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 after the ex-dividend date.

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 Funds do 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.

Reported 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.

Allocation of Expenses Among Funds and Classes. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; certain other common expenses of the 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, Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund, and Calamos Long/Short Equity and Dynamic Income Trust are allocated proportionately among each Fund to which the expenses relate in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses directly attributable to a particular class of a fund in the Trust are charged directly to such class. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day plus current day fund share activity.

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Trust's policy is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distribute to shareholders substantially all of the Funds' 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

Notes to Financial Statements

instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting for fixed income securities. The financial statements are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The Funds recognized no liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation is not provided as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized benefits are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax years 2018 – 2021 remain subject to examination by the U.S. and the State of Illinois tax jurisdictions for those Funds that have been in existence during that time, and for all years since inception for those Funds created subsequent to October 31, 2016.

Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents, the Trust 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 Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. Each 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 Funds' management expects the risk of material loss in connection to a potential claim to be remote.

Note 2 – Investment Adviser and Transactions With Affiliates Or Certain Other Parties

Each of the International Growth and Global Equity Funds pays a fee based on average daily net assets of the Fund that is accrued daily and paid on a monthly basis, subject to possible adjustment based on the Fund's investment performance (since March 2006 for International Growth Fund and since February 2008 for Global Equity Fund). The performance adjustment increases or decreases the management fee, on a monthly basis, by 1/12 of 0.03% of a Fund's average daily net assets over the performance period for each full 1% increment amount by which a Fund outperforms or underperforms the benchmark index ("Index"), on an annualized basis, over the performance measurement period. The benchmark indexes are the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and the MSCI World Index for the International Growth Fund and Global Equity Fund, respectively.

The base fee is shown in the table above. The performance adjustment rate is calculated by comparing over the performance measurement period the Fund's Class A share performance to that of the respective Index. The performance measurement period commenced at the beginning of each Fund's first full month of operation (April 2005 and March 2007 for the International Growth Fund and Global Equity Fund, respectively). The first performance adjustment was applied to the advisory fee at the end of the twelfth month. Each month subsequent to the twelfth month, a new month is added to the performance measurement period until the performance measurement period includes 36 months. Thereafter, the performance measurement period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

The performance comparison is made at the end of each month. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is +/- 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets over the performance measurement period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average daily net assets over the performance measurement period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the base fee. Calamos Advisors may receive a positive performance adjustment even if the Fund has a negative return over a performance measurement period if it otherwise outperforms the Index during that period.

Each Fund may invest in shares of the Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund ("SCG"), Timpani SMID Growth Fund ("SMID") or Short Term Bond Fund ("STBF"). Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee charged to the Fund equal to the advisory fee paid by SCG, SMID or STBF, respectively, attributable to the Fund's investment in SCG, SMID or STBF, respectively, based on daily net assets. For the period ended October 31, 2022, the total advisory fees waived pursuant to such agreement were $999,822 for the Market Neutral Income Fund and are included in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Expense reductions".

As of October 31, 2022, the Market Neutral Income Fund held 90.7% of the outstanding shares of Short Term Bond Fund.

The Trust 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) and has elected to participate in the Plan (a "participating trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation from the Trust. 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 amounts deferred for a participating trustee is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more funds of the 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.

Each 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2022.

Interfund Lending Program and Joint Credit Agreement

The SEC has granted an exemptive order to the Funds permitting the Funds to participate in an interfund lending facility whereby participating Funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other (an "Interfund Loan") for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities "fails," resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the "InterFund Program"). The InterFund Program is subject to a number of conditions, which are discussed in detail in the Funds' statement of additional information. Any loan made through the InterFund Program is expected to be more beneficial to a borrowing Fund (i.e., at a lower interest rate) than borrowing from a bank and more beneficial to a lending Fund (i.e., at a higher rate of return) than an alternative short-term investment. The duration of an InterFund Loan will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days. In addition, each InterFund Loan may be called on one business day's notice by a lending Fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing Fund. No Interfund Loans were made during the period.

On April 30, 2021, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a $50,000,000 Demand Discretionary Credit Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Credit Agreement"). Effective May 10, 2022, Global Sustainable Fund and International Small Cap Fund were added to the Credit Agreement. On November 30, 2022, the Credit Agreement was increased to $100,000,000. Each Fund may borrow under the Credit Agreement to meet shareholder redemptions and for other lawful temporary purposes. Borrowing results in interest expense and other fees and expenses, which may increase a Fund's net expenses and reduce a Fund's return. In addition, borrowing by a Fund may create leverage by increasing a Fund's investment exposure. This will result in changes in a Fund's net asset value, either positive or negative, being greater than it would have been if the Fund had not borrowed. Administration, legal, and arrangement fees, if applicable, under the Credit Agreement are allocated among Funds based upon factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Fund, while fees on any amounts drawn by a Fund under the Credit Agreement are borne by that Fund. At October 31, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Please see the supplement to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for more information about the Credit Agreement.

Note 3 – Investments

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishing requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund's investment adviser to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. The compliance date for Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 was September 8, 2022. Effective June 29, 2022 and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust's Board of Trustees designated the Advisor as its valuation designee to perform fair value determinations and approved new Advisor Valuation Procedures for the Trust.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 5 – Short Sales

Securities sold short represent obligations to deliver the securities at a future date. A Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security before the delivery date. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. Dividends paid on securities sold short are disclosed as an expense on the Statements of Operations. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be realized upon the termination of a short sale.

To secure its obligation to deliver to the broker-dealer the securities sold short, the Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities with its custodian equal to any excess of the current market value of the securities sold short over any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (not including the proceeds of the short sale). As a result of that requirement, the Fund will not gain any leverage merely by selling short, except to the extent that it earns interest or other income or gains on the segregated cash or liquid securities while also being subject to the possibility of gain or loss from the securities sold short.

Note 6 – Derivative Investments

Foreign Currency Risk. Each Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates by entering into forward 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 the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.

To mitigate the counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Generally, collateral is exchanged between the Fund and the counterparty and the amount of collateral due from the Fund or to a counterparty has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. When a Fund is required to post collateral under the terms of a derivatives transaction and master netting agreement, the Fund's custodian holds the collateral in a segregated account, subject to the terms of a tri-party agreement among the Fund, the custodian and the counterparty. The master netting agreement and tri-party agreement provide, in relevant part, that the counterparty may have rights to the amounts in the segregated account in the event that the Fund defaults in its obligation with respect to the derivative instrument that is subject to the collateral requirement. When a counterparty is required to post collateral under the terms of a derivatives transaction and master netting agreement, the counterparty delivers such amount to the Fund's custodian. The master netting agreement provides, in relevant part, that the Fund may have rights to such collateral in the event that the counterparty defaults in its obligation with respect to the derivative instrument that is subject to the collateral requirement. Generally before a default, neither a Fund nor the counterparty may resell, rehypothecate, or repledge any collateral that it receives.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund's net counterparty exposure is reflected in the counterparty table below. The net unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the respective Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. The contracts are valued daily at forward foreign exchange rates. The Funds realize a gain or loss when a position is closed or upon settlement of the contracts. Please see the disclosure regarding ISDA Master Agreements under Foreign Currency Risk within this note.

As of October 31, 2022, the Funds had outstanding forward foreign currency contracts listed on the Schedules of Investments.

Equity Risk. Each Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieves similar objectives to what it would achieve through the sale or purchase of individual securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security, index or other

Notes to Financial Statements

instrument at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the seller the obligation to buy, the underlying security, index, or other instrument at the exercise price.

To seek to offset some of the risk of a potential decline in value of certain long positions, each Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). Each Fund may also seek to generate income from option premiums by writing (selling) options on a portion of the equity securities (including securities that are convertible into equity securities) in the Fund's portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.

When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. 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. Gain or loss on written options and purchased options is presented separately on the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.

Options written by each Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk since options written obligate each Fund and not the counterparty to perform. Exchange traded purchased options have minimal counterparty credit risk to each Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default.

As of October 31, 2022, the Fund had outstanding purchased options and/or written options as listed on the Schedules of Investments.

As of October 31, 2022, the Funds had outstanding derivative contracts which are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows:

Note 7 – Securities Lending

The Funds may loan one or more of their securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned by the Funds. The Funds continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the collateral. The additional return is disclosed on a net basis as Securities lending income in the Statement of Operations. Upon receipt of cash or cash equivalent collateral, the Funds' securities lending agent invests the collateral into short term investments

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to Financial Statements

following investment guidelines approved by Calamos Advisors. The Funds record the investment of collateral as an asset and the value of the collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. If the value of the invested collateral declines below the value of the collateral deposited by the borrower, the Funds will record unrealized depreciation equal to the decline in value of the invested collateral. The Funds will pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Funds for services in arranging these loans. The Funds have the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time. The Funds do 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 Funds 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 Funds seek 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 their rights. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Funds' security lending agent monitors and reports to Calamos Advisors on the creditworthiness of the firms to which a Fund lends securities.

The following table indicates the total amount of securities loaned by asset class, reconciled to the gross liability payable upon return of the securities loaned by the Funds as of October 31, 2022.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels as follows:

•  Level 1 – Prices are determined using inputs from unadjusted quoted prices from active markets (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) for identical assets.

•  Level 2 – Prices are determined using significant observable market inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices, including quoted prices of similar securities, fair value adjustments to quoted foreign securities, interest rates, credit risk, prepayment speeds, and other relevant data.

•  Level 3 – Prices reflect unobservable market inputs (including the Funds' own judgments about assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value) when observable inputs are unavailable.

Notes to Financial Statements

Debt securities are valued based upon evaluated prices received from an independent pricing service or from a dealer or broker who makes markets in such securities. Pricing services utilize various observable market data and as such, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. The levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity of the Fund's investments.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds' holdings at fair value:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees ("Board" or the "Trustees") of the Trust oversees the management of each of the Funds, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to continue the Trust's management agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC ("Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment manager and administrator for each of the Funds. The "Independent Trustees," who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with the Adviser.

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 the Adviser 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 the Adviser, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting held on June 29, 2022, based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser on behalf of the Funds were fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser 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 the continuation of the management agreement with respect to all of the Funds through July 31, 2023, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in the agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund as well as performance information for comparable funds and other, comparable clients of the Adviser, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund as well as expense information for comparable funds and for other, comparable clients of the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether potential economies may be shared, in some measure, with Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. In the Board's deliberations, no single factor was responsible for the Board's decision to approve continuation of the management agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board's consideration of the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge gained from the Board's meetings with the Adviser throughout the years. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of managing the Funds; the consistency of investment approach; the background and experience of the Adviser's investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds; and the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds, including, among other things, in the areas of brokerage selection, trade execution, compliance and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds. The Board noted the personal investments that the Adviser's key investment personnel have made in the Funds, which further aligns the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders. In addition, the Board considered compliance reports about the Adviser from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer.

The Board also considered the information provided by the Adviser regarding the Funds' performance and the steps the Adviser is taking to improve performance. In particular, the Board noted the additional personnel added to the Adviser's investment team, which includes portfolio managers, research analysts, research associates and risk management personnel. The Board also noted the Adviser's significant investment into its infrastructure and investment processes.

Investment Performance of the Funds. The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, including how the Fund performed compared to the average performance of a group of comparable funds (the Fund's "Category") selected by an independent third-party service provider. In certain instances noted below, the Category represents a custom group of comparable funds, also selected by the independent third-party service provider. The performance periods considered by the Board ended on March 31, 2022, except where otherwise noted. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance. To the extent the Board considered data for periods other than those ending on March 31, 2022 or considered comparative data in addition to that of the Category, such as comparative data for an alternate group of comparable funds (a "category"), the data was still produced by an independent third-party service provider.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:

Calamos Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for the one- and three-year periods, though it underperformed for the longer periods.

Calamos Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for the one- and three-year periods, thought it underperformed its custom Category average for the remaining periods.

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for all periods.

Calamos International Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and underperformed its Category average for the one-year period.

Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for all periods.

Calamos Global Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for all periods.

Calamos Growth and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for all periods.

Calamos Global Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for all periods.

Calamos Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the three- and five-year periods and underperformed its Category average for the one- and ten-year periods.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its Category average for all periods. The Board further noted the Adviser's representation that the Fund is the only U.S.-based convertible fund with a global mandate in its Category, and therefore considered the Adviser's assertion that the Global Convertible UCITS fund managed by the Adviser and its performance universe are a better comparative source than the Category. As a result, the Board considered the Fund's similarity to the UCITS fund managed by the Adviser, noting that the UCITS fund outperformed peers for the three- and five-year periods and only underperformed peers for the more recent one-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the one-year period and underperformed for the remaining periods. The Board also considered that as of April 30, 2022, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period and ranked in the second quartile of its Category for the one-year period.

Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the one-, three- and five-year periods, though it underperformed the Category average for the ten-year period.

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its custom Category average for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, though it underperformed the Category median for the one-year period.

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the one-, three- and five-year periods.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and underperformed its Category average for the one-year period. The Board also considered that for the year-to-date period ended April 20, 2022, the Fund ranked in the 1st quartile when compared to its Category and outperformed its benchmarks.

Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the one- and three-year periods.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its Category average for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and underperformed its Category average for the one-year period.

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its custom Category average for the one-year period. The Board also considered, however, that the portfolio management team should be afforded more time to develop a performance record in light of the relatively recent launch of the Fund.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. Using information provided by an independent third-party service provider, the Board evaluated each Fund's actual management fee rate compared to the median management fee rate for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy (the Fund's "Expense Group"), and the Fund's total expense ratio compared to the median total expense ratio of the Fund's Expense Group.

The Board also reviewed the Adviser's management fee rates for its institutional separate accounts and sub-advisory accounts with comparable investment strategies. The Board took into account that although, generally, the rates of fees paid by institutional clients or for sub-advisory services were lower than the rates of fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's greater level of responsibilities and significantly broader scope of services regarding the Funds, the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds, and other financial considerations with respect to creation and sponsorship of the Funds. The Board considered factors that lead to more expenses for registered funds including but not limited to: (i) capital expenditures to establish a Fund, (ii) length of time to reach critical mass, and the related expenses, (iii) higher servicing costs of intermediaries and shareholders, (iv) higher redemption rates of assets under management, (v) entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser and (vi) greater exposure to "make whole" errors.

The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Funds' investment adviser and manager, including but not limited to costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees, and the relationship of such compensation to the attraction and retention of quality personnel. Finally, the Board reviewed information on the profitability of the Adviser in serving as each Fund's investment manager and of the Adviser and its affiliates in all of their relationships with each Fund, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the Funds and the Adviser's other business units. Data was provided to the Board with respect to profitability, both on a pre- and post-marketing cost basis. The Board reviewed the financial statements of the Adviser's parent company and discussed its corporate structure.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and total expense ratio of each Fund is set forth below:

Calamos Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its more recent performance record.

The Board also reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record.

Calamos Global Convertible Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also considered, however, that the Fund offers a unique mandate and the Adviser's assertion that, as a result, there are no appropriate peer funds against which to meaningfully compare the Fund's fees. The Board reviewed the Fund's expenses in light of its performance record against its benchmark.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

The Board also considered that the Adviser had contractually agreed to limit Fund expenses through March 1, 2023 and was currently subsidizing the Fund under this arrangement.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee shares with shareholders potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser. The Board recognized that breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund could result in the sharing of economies of scale as Fund assets increase. The Board also considered the Adviser's agreement to reimburse each Fund for a portion of its expenses if the Fund's expense ratio otherwise would exceed a certain level. The Board also considered the benefits accruing to shareholders from the Adviser's investments into its infrastructure and investment processes. The Board concluded that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board also considered other benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that while the Adviser may potentially

Trustee Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

benefit from its relationship with the Funds in ways other than the fees payable by the Funds, the Funds also may benefit from their relationship with the Adviser in ways other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to their agreement with the Funds and the fees payable by the Funds.

The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser and concluded, based on reports from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, that the Adviser's 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 their consideration, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the management agreement for each Fund with the Adviser was in the best interest of each respective Fund and its shareholders.

Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund. The Board of Trustees ("Board" or the "Trustees") of Calamos Investment Trust ("Trust"), on behalf of its new series, Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund (the "New Fund"), oversees the management of the New Fund, and, as required by law, determines whether to approve or (annually thereafter) continue the New Fund's management agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC ("Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment manager and provides certain administrative services for the New Fund. The "Independent Trustees," who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with the Adviser.

In connection with their consideration regarding the initial approval of the management agreement for the New Fund, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser in response to detailed requests from 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 the Adviser, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting held on December 14, 2021,1 based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the New Fund and the Adviser were fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, the proposed fees to be 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 the management agreement with respect to the New Fund through July 31, 2023, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in the management agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided, (ii) the fees and other expenses to be paid by the New Fund as well as expense information for comparable funds, (iii) the expected profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund, (iv) whether economies of scale may be realized as the New Fund grows and whether potential economies may be shared, in some measure, with the New Fund's investors; and (v) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the New Fund. In the Board's deliberations, no single factor was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the management agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board's consideration of the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided to the New Fund took into account the knowledge that may be gained from the Board's meetings with the Adviser throughout the years. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of managing the other Funds in the Calamos fund complex; the consistency of the Adviser's investment approach; the Adviser's recent acquisition of Pearl Impact Capital LLC ("Pearl Impact"); and the background and experience of Messrs. Madden and Tursich (who are now employees of the Adviser) who will be responsible for managing the New Fund; and the Adviser's provision of administrative services for the other Funds in the Calamos fund complex, including, among other things, in the areas of brokerage selection, trade execution, compliance and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel expected to be involved in providing investment management services to the New Fund. The Board also considered compliance reports about the Adviser from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund were appropriate and consistent with the

management agreement and that the New Fund was likely to benefit from services to be provided under the management agreement with the Adviser.

Investment Performance of the New Fund. Because the New Fund has not yet commenced operations, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the New Fund.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. Using information provided by an independent third-party service provider, the Board evaluated the New Fund's proposed management fee rate compared to the median management fee rate for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group") and estimated total expense ratio compared to the median total expense ratio of the Expense Group. The Board considered that the Fund's estimated total net expense ratio and proposed management fee rate are both higher than the respective medians of the Expense Group. The Board also took into account, however, the Adviser's agreement to cap expenses of the Fund. The Board noted that under the contractual expense cap, the total annual expenses for the Fund's Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares are capped at 1.20%, 1.95% and 0.95% of average net assets, respectively, through March 1, 2025 and that the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares are limited (as a percentage of average net assets) to 0.95% less the Fund's annual sub-transfer agency ratio. Lastly, the Board considered the Adviser's confidence in the Fund's investment team to deliver favorable performance and scale given its track record with other funds that it manages. In light of all the information presented, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the management agreement.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that while the proposed management fee does not contain breakpoints, the Adviser had agreed to contractually cap total annual expenses for the Fund's Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares at 1.20%, 1.95% and 0.95% of average net assets, respectively, through March 1, 2025 and noted that the Fund's annual ordinary operating expenses for Class R6 shares are limited (as a percentage of average net assets) to 0.95% less the Fund's annual sub-transfer agency ratio.

Profitability. The Board considered information on the anticipated profitability of the Adviser in serving as the New Fund's investment manager and of the Adviser and its affiliates in their relationships with the New Fund, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the Funds in the Calamos fund complex and the Adviser's other business units.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the New Fund. The Board considered other benefits that could accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund. The Board concluded that while the Adviser may potentially benefit from its relationship with the New Fund in ways other than the proposed fees payable by the New Fund, the New Fund also may benefit from its relationship with the Adviser in ways other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to its agreement with the New Fund and the proposed fees payable by the New Fund.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the proposed amendment to the Trust's management agreement with the Adviser to add the New Fund was in the best interest of the New Fund and its shareholders.

Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund.

At a meeting held on March 23-24, 2022, based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the New Fund and the Adviser were fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, the proposed fees to be charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.
