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 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 semiannual report for the six months ending April 30, 2023. 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.

Market Review

For the period, stock markets around the world advanced. Market participants were encouraged by the prospect that the Federal Reserve would slow or pause its tightening cycle and by economic data that was often better than initially feared. Investors cheered economic reopening in China, and emerging market equities posted particularly robust performance.

One key theme during the start of 2023 was the outperformance of US growth stocks over value stocks. In a reversal of fortunes from 2022, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts by a wide margin. Technology and communication services companies, including many of the bellwether companies that struggled in 2022, dominated market leadership. Many areas of the fixed income market also posted healthy gains, with both investment grade and high yield benchmarks advancing.

Despite these advances, the period was also volatile. The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank created a burst of fear and raised the specter of widespread bank runs. However, coordinated action by the Federal Reserve, the US Treasury, and the FDIC quickly dampened anxiety. Similarly in Switzerland, the collapse of Credit Suisse was met with quick action from regulators, resulting in the beleaguered bank's acquisition by UBS.

Outlook

Despite economic and market uncertainties, we continue to see many opportunities across asset classes. Individual security selection and active management are essential, given the economic backdrop. In their individual portfolio commentaries, our investment teams will discuss where they see opportunities and how they are managing risk.

Broadly, however, fiscal policy casts a shadow and will continue to do so as both sides in Washington gear up for what will surely be another contentious election. The debt ceiling standoff could come to a tipping point even sooner. Additionally,

Letter to Shareholders

although financial conditions remain reasonable, we are vigilantly monitoring the possibility that banks, particularly smaller ones, may adopt more conservative lending standards in the wake of the previously mentioned bank failures, which could have a ripple effect on both households and businesses.

Inflation has been a key focal point of investor concern. We expect inflation to continue to moderate through the summer months in an on-again, off-again fashion, punctuated by bouts of volatility in oil prices.

Perspectives on Asset Allocation

I'm often asked what I believe are the "secrets" of investing. It's an easy question to answer—there are no secrets. However, there are some basic principles that I believe can best position investors for success.

One of the most fundamental principles is to stay focused on the long term. Trying to predict the short-term ups and downs in the market is a dangerous strategy. Far too often, I've seen people give into emotions, which can result in selling into down markets but missing the up markets.

It's also important to remember that volatility is always part of the investment landscape—in good markets as well as bad ones. Volatility may be uncomfortable in the moment, but it can provide opportunities for active managers like the Calamos Investment organization. For example, our teams can capitalize on short-term dislocations in security prices to build positions in investments with attractive long-term potential.

Another essential principle is diversification. Various investments tend to perform differently depending on interest rates, inflation, or the economic environment. The performance of investments can also be influenced by fiscal policy, political uncertainty, and the geopolitical landscape. Having a blend of assets can help smooth the performance of your portfolio because stronger performance in one area of your portfolio can offset weaker performance elsewhere.

In the current environment, we see opportunities for a variety of actively managed funds. In the equity markets, we believe there's compelling potential for growth-oriented companies across the capitalization spectrum and geographies, including emerging markets. The Calamos Family of Funds offers a variety of choices, including funds that focus on smaller growth companies (Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund) and multi-cap approaches (Calamos Growth Fund). For investors who seek equity exposure with lower potential volatility, we also offer funds like Calamos Global Opportunities Fund and Calamos Growth and Income Fund.

As we've observed in the past, fixed income securities are an important cornerstone for asset allocation and can provide income, diversification, and total return opportunities. In the current environment, we see tailwinds for short-term bonds (see Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund) and high yield securities (see Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund).

Letter to Shareholders

Alternative strategies may also continue to offer compelling opportunities for enhancing both equity and fixed income allocations. The Calamos Family of Funds includes Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund, a fixed income alternative, and Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund and Calamos Hedged Equity Fund, both equity alternatives. These funds can use a range of sophisticated strategies to pursue opportunities and manage risks.

As always, we thank you for your continued trust. To learn more about Calamos Investments' views of the economy, markets and asset allocation, I invite you to visit our website, www.calamos.com.

  As one of the first alternative mutual funds, capitalizes on more than four decades of experience in the convertible space.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund may provide potential diversification, particularly in a rising interest rate environment.

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—arbitrage and hedged equity—with the aim of monetizing volatility. 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.

  Consistently provide 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 six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund returned 5.30% (Class I Shares at net asset value), trailing the 7.01% return for the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Index while outperforming the 2.17% return of the Bloomberg Short Treasury 1-3 Month Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The semiannual period notably focused on the Federal Reserve's response to persistent inflation and the potential for a recession. Geopolitical concerns and regional bank deposit stress also dominated headlines. Despite these headwinds, the equity market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, advanced 8.63% during the reporting period while the bond market, reflected in the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Index, rose 7.01%. Realized volatility declined during the period as measured by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) decreasing from 20.58 to 15.78.

Interest rates were mixed during the period. On the one hand, short-term rates rose as the Federal Reserve raised its fed funds target from 3.00% – 3.25% to 4.75% – 5.00%. On the other hand, the overall bond market experienced declining interest rates as represented by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity decline of 65 basis points to 4.36%. Credit spreads were largely unchanged as the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index average spread narrowed 4 basis points to 479 basis points over Treasuries. The interest rate environment was supportive of the Fund's strategies. With convertible arbitrage, the higher overnight interest rate meant a higher short interest rebate (the interest earned on the cash received from shorting the convertible's underlying stock). A decline in the overall bond market interest rates also supported the bond component of the convertible. Higher interest rates also have flowed through to the hedged equity strategy in the form of higher call prices and lower put prices, making our collar strategy more attractive. Finally, the Fund's special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Arbitrage strategy also benefited because higher short-term interest rates meant that the Fund earned more interest on the SPAC's cash in trust.

The advancing equity market, as represented by the 8.63% gain of the S&P 500 Index, rewarded the Fund's hedged equity strategy because the equity basket rose

Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund (Unaudited)

toward the index's call option strike price. The option environment also provided an attractive opportunity to utilize call and put spreads, which allowed the portfolio to sell deep out-of-the-money puts and buy closer-to-the-money puts to cushion the portfolio against downside risk. This also meant that we did not need as heavy a call write, which in turn provided additional runway to the upside. The Fund's SPAC and Merger Arbitrage sleeves also participated in the equity market's advance.

How is the Fund positioned?

We actively manage allocations to the strategies based on our view of market conditions and relative opportunities. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had 45.6% in its hedged equity strategy and 54.4% in its arbitrage strategies. The arbitrage strategies included 44.7% in convertible arbitrage, 6.6% in SPAC arbitrage, and 3.1% in merger arbitrage. At the beginning of the reporting period, the Fund's allocation to the arbitrage strategy was 50.3%, with 49.7% allocated to the hedged equity strategy.

Within the arbitrage strategy, we can utilize different strategies, including convertible arbitrage, merger arbitrage and SPAC arbitrage. We continue to like the opportunity in convertible arbitrage the most, and the Fund's allocation to convertible arbitrage rose from 38.1% at the start of the reporting period to 44.7% at the period end. We expect to continue adding to convertible arbitrage, particularly if we see the attractive new convertible issuance that we anticipate.

A principal driver for growing convertible arbitrage is our heightened return expectations for the strategy following the rise in overnight interest rates. Convertible arbitrage returns have historically been correlated with overnight rates. This is partly because the rebate the Fund receives on its short stock positions is directly tied to the fed funds rate. Although returns don't necessarily go up tick-for-tick with rates, we expect a meaningful tailwind in 2023 and beyond.

The market environment for SPAC arbitrage has been waning because few SPAC IPOs have come to market and the number of merger announcements has declined. The yield to expiration in SPACs has been attractive, but the allocation in SPAC arbitrage has been reduced from 9.6% to 6.6% as SPACs reached expiration. Unless the environment changes, we expect the SPAC arbitrage allocation to continue to decline in favor of convertible arbitrage. It also bears mentioning that the allocation to merger arbitrage increased slightly from 2.6% to 3.1%.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

As an alternative investment, we believe that the Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund continues to provide an attractive role in asset allocation, especially when viewed within the fixed-income portion of an investment portfolio. As interest rates have increased compared to a year ago, bonds have looked increasingly attractive to investors, given their higher income. Equally important, the same factors that have been making bonds more attractive in the higher interest rate environment have also benefited the Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund. As mentioned previously, the convertible arbitrage strategy, hedged equity strategy, and SPAC arbitrage holdings are all reaping rewards from the higher-rate environment. The potential for continued elevated volatility in the markets creates more trade rebalancing opportunities, which we expect to add value to the Fund. Finally, the Fund has had a historically low correlation to traditional fixed income, and this provides attractive diversification benefits when the Fund is used within an investor's fixed income allocation.

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 HEDGED EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

Please discuss the Fund's strategic approach and role in a portfolio.

Calamos Hedged Equity Fund's investment approach, which blends a core long-equity portfolio with an actively managed options overlay, can be highly responsive to dynamic market conditions and can serve as a portfolio diversifier. The Fund is often considered alongside more systematic or defined outcome 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, a major one being capped upside that cannot cover successive losses to the downside.

Compared to our mechanistic peers, the Calamos tactical management approach creates 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?

A short-term challenge for the market is the lack of breadth. Calamos Hedged Equity Fund, with its semiannual return of 6.73% (Class I shares at net asset value) as of April 30, 2023, participated in the latest rally of the S&P 500 Index and realized about 60% of the index's 8.63% gain over the period. The S&P 500 Index has been in a stubborn trading range between 3800 on the low and 4180 on the high. With this range solidly in place, we continue to nimbly reposition hedges, buying inexpensive puts that are cheaper than the income we receive for trading off the upside. In our opinion, the Fund has been and will continue to be well positioned to capture the equity market's upside with significantly less risk than capped hedged equity funds and long-only equities. One measure of risk is a Fund's beta. The Fund maintained a beta of 0.52 in line with its historical beta of 0.52 versus the S&P 500 Index as of April 30, 2023.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

We expect the market to continue to be challenging, but the most recent oversold conditions in the equity markets have at least kept the sellers at bay. The current volatility continues to be even more settled than in the first quarter of the semiannual period. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), also known as the fear index, is trading around 15.78%, off its mean of 20.5% and well off the Covid-19 mean of 23.5%. Although volatility has been depressed recently, it still requires monitoring because we're still in the midst of a market that could be subject to additional volatility.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund's active strategy management approach generated equal or better results than bonds and participated in 60% of the upside of stocks.​ The options market's current landscape allowed us to structure our hedges to emphasize better performance on the tails. This positioning provided additional mitigation over and

†  For the semiannual period through 04/30/2023, total returns for the Calamos Hedged Equity Fund are 6.73% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus 8.63% for the S&P 500 Index and 6.91% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index over the same period.

above our average 40% to 50% put notional minimum while also adding upside participation potential. Lower volatility (with the VIX at 15.78) and flat option skew made our "North Star" baseline trade more appealing through the end of the period. We used rallies to replace some of our hedges with outright long puts and put spreads, which appear attractive. At the end of the period, the Fund's net put representation was 94%, with an average strike of 3820.

Our call positioning included a call write of 6%, gross short calls of -75%, and gross long calls of 81% as of April 30, 2023. In this case, gross long calls were high compared to past positioning because of flattening skew and the opportunistic harvesting of short option premium. At the end of the reporting period and relative to the S&P 500 Index, our sector positioning was slightly overweight in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, whereas we had slightly underweight positions in the materials, financials, consumer staples, real estate and materials 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 are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

After spending multiple years with Treasury yields close to zero, it's natural for investors to be excited about the prospects of a higher-rate environment. However, we believe they shouldn't focus solely on Treasuries and short-duration bonds because the impact and benefits of the higher rates can be realized across the investing landscape. The effect of rising rates on option prices has made participation rates for long-leaning option strategies like Calamos Hedged Equity Fund appealing. For risk-averse clients worried about economic and macro risks, hedged equity strategies like the Fund can be an excellent fit for investors looking to reduce risk but staying invested in the equity markets long term.

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 the Fund's 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 allows for all investment styles, market caps and geographic regions. The investment universe is global, liquid and scalable. Exposure levels and investment styles depend on market conditions and the economic cycle.

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund returned 4.49% (Class I shares at net asset value), underperforming the S&P 500 Index 8.63% return and the MSCI World Index 12.57% return over the same period.

Since its inception on May 1, 2002, the Fund has returned 9.91% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value), markedly outperforming both the S&P 500 Index and MSCI World Index returns of 8.78% and 7.84%, respectively.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The Fund's underperformance relative to the global indices largely reflected the Fund's underweight exposure to the equity derivatives of long duration and negative returns on general market hedges. The Fund concluded the period with a delta-adjusted net equity exposure of 58.12%, which compares with its average net equity exposure of approximately 28% (on a cash basis)1​ since its inception in 2002.

This past calendar year 2022 was distinguished by the reordering of the monetary agenda worldwide. This was highly disruptive for financial asset prices, which led investors to de-risk excessively because of fears of economic calamity. The latter thinking is symptomatic of one law of investment life: sentiment follows price. Accordingly, markets were forced to reprice financial assets in an environment they were not accustomed to—one of rising interest rates. During the period, the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to increase rates, enacting three upward

adjustments between December and March totaling 100 basis points in the aggregate, and raising the range to 4.75% – 5.00% by the end of the period.

By comparison, 2023 is a year of sharply lower inflation as the pandemic excesses recede and central bankers plan for a return to pre-pandemic price stability norms. Investors can embrace this benign outlook because they believe (with good reason) that the Western world has not truly exited the deflationary era. In contrast to the trauma of 2022, today's narrative of disinflation is supportive of equities, as is usually the case.

The end of the period was distinguished by several bank failures that have reinforced the fear by many that a US recession is imminent as many recall the trauma of 2008. Some political fallout seems inevitable and the case for owning bank stocks is problematic, yet the US consumer is underpinned by some considerable momentum. This area of strength should not be ignored because it implies these financial shocks can be weathered, as evidenced by global equity markets offering double-digit returns for the period.

Given the crosswinds, it seems appropriate that our long book is balanced and diversified, emphasizing names where expectations have been lowered or where we believe demand will prove more sustainable post-pandemic than widely perceived (e.g., consumer services and travel).

For much of the period, the Fund benefited from mounting evidence that the service-related industries would remain stronger for longer as airline and hotel bookings remained robust and consumer spending more broadly kept apace. However, the banking crisis cast doubt on the sustainability of this strength, and investors rotated to quality and defensive names. This rotation was the primary vulnerability of our long portfolio during the period.

What helped and hurt performance over the reporting period?

During the period we focused on cyclicals we believed were poised to outperform, given the post-pandemic, pent-up demand in airlines, hotels, gaming, transportation and defensive stocks. Many of these areas proved to be accretive. Our hedge on the energy sector was also beneficial to returns because companies with ties to the sector experienced price declines during the period. Our long portfolio benefited from names positioned to benefit from exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) following the launch of ChatGPT. However, our general underweight of longer-duration technology stocks proved to be a drag on returns during the period because investors bought them during periods of market volatility. Our overall hedge on the general equity markets (SPY) was detrimental because of the generally solid stock performance.

We remain underweight in what we believe to be the poorest quality compartment of long-duration technology and high-multiple consumer staples but have maintained or increased exposure to mega-cap growth (quality GARP2​).

The Fund's long position in consumer discretionary, communication services and information technology stocks were the largest contributors over the period. Conversely, long positions in consumer staples stocks as well as the general stock market hedge in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST hindered performance.

2​  Growth at a reasonable price (GARP): firms with superior top-line growth that are not excessively valued on earnings.

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund (Unaudited)

Notable contributors during the period included a long position in Microsoft Corp. 4.99% net exposure as of period end (information technology), a long position in Alphabet Inc. 5.30% net exposure as of period end (communication services), and a long position in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. 1.65% average over the period (information technology). Notable detractors during the period included a short position (hedge) in SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST -17.66% net exposure as of period end, long positions in L3 Harris Technologies Inc. 3.97 net exposure as of period end (Industrials), and Huntington Bancshares Inc. 1.31% net exposure as of period end (financials).

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

Net equity exposure (delta-adjusted) decreased from 59.9% at the start of the period to 58.1% at its conclusion. This compares with the average net equity exposure of approximately 28% (cash basis) since its inception in 2002. The Fund leaned modestly into equity risk throughout the period as markets became unsettled by higher interest rates, stubborn inflation, Fed policy mixed signals, and the continuing war in Ukraine.

The start of 2023 witnessed a modest risk-on move through January as corporate earnings proved better than feared, the momentum of disinflation extended, and employment markets remained resilient. Fund performance has been predominantly driven by our larger positions in the consumer discretionary, technology and communication services sectors. The Fund maintained a modest equity risk through the period.

The Fund continued to favor names perceived as cyclicals with recovery potential during the year. The broadest exposures for the long book are industrials and transports, followed by financials and consumer discretionary.

The two major themes within technology have been slowing cloud services and excitement about the potential applications for AI following the launch of ChatGPT. The major cloud providers dominate both themes, and we are positioned accordingly. Investors began 2023 concerned about slowing demand for such companies, yet attention quickly shifted to which of them stand to benefit the most by incorporating AI into existing and new product offerings.

Other technology stocks have been materially derated. The list of companies that have announced workforce reductions or lowered outlooks grew longer during the period. Still, estimates for most companies have not reset materially. More customers may pause initiatives following the banking crisis, bringing another step down in forecasts. Until this happens, we are reluctant to engage in names that are not supported by quality earnings and cash flow.

We continued to largely avoid high-multiple, long-duration software during the period. Investors wrestle with whether to fear the high-multiple growers or chase a recovery higher. These names will remain controversial because of changing views on rates and how much growth will slow in a recession. In a less accommodative monetary setting, few will ever recapture their peak multiples, although a sharp, short recovery is likely when the Fed pauses.

Outside of technology, the Fund favors names that we believe will benefit from post-pandemic demand sustainability into 2024. The broadest exposures include diversified industrials, transports and select nonbank financials. The railroads are

Calamos Phineus Long/Short Fund (Unaudited)

US-centric beneficiaries of supply-chain normalization and onshoring with limited exposure to labor or energy costs. In addition, we are constructive on select defense names.

The demand and pricing outlook for airfares is constructive because of changes on the capacity front. Higher financing costs, pilot shortages and equipment delays are making it difficult for the lowest-cost players to add undisciplined capacity. The recovery in corporate and international travel is gaining steam.

Energy remains problematic. The key swing factor will be China, which has been the primary source of consumption growth in recent decades. The setup for higher crude prices was ideal in 2022, yet the inability of markets to benefit from the fear of a war-related shortage points to a new dynamic in global oil markets.

Financials were a conflicted group entering 2023, given higher rates (good for net interest income) and fears of recession (bad for credit quality). Of course, events in March reprioritized these issues because investors realized resilient economic growth (good for credit quality) was bringing new competitive pressures for deposits. We entered the crisis with the long book exposed to US banks. Although reduced from the previous year, this positioning was painful given the magnitude of the downdraft.

Regarding China, its future remains challenged by its loss of manufacturing and the excessive debt associated with its real estate bubble, not to mention its geopolitical isolation. Its relatively muted GDP recovery in Q1 highlights that this is not the post-Covid-19 recovery that America enjoyed. More generally, we remain wary of any global company that relies heavily upon a China footprint whatever its form. We believe corporates will have to choose sides in this global rivalry regardless of their hopes to the contrary.

What is your macro perspective heading into the rest of 2023?

This is a year of transition as investors grapple with the reordering of the monetary agenda and the uncertainty regarding the post-pandemic price regime. There is a wide dispersion of reasonable interpretations regarding both topics. More so than geopolitics, energy and China's reopening, the future of inflation and monetary policy are at center stage.

Positioning Summary

  Moderating economic activity and the mild banking crises are supportive of equities because they reinforce the narrative of disinflation. Price stability matters more than the earnings cycle.

  US economic momentum remains solid as 2022's negative supply shocks fade. Recession does not appear imminent, nor are we forecasting a decline in corporate profitability.

  US consumers are protected by healthy employment markets and their accumulated pandemic savings, while many segments of the corporate sector enjoy solid financial health.

  We believe equity returns will be muted because the era of "free money" is not returning anytime soon.

  The Fund's long positioning is balanced between select quality GARP opportunities and cyclicals that appear "too cheap" in the absence of a recession.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The inflation surge resulted from the pandemic, like so much else across today's economic landscape. As the shadow of the pandemic recedes, the inflation picture will appear to normalize. Fed hawkishness will appear anachronistic. Despite investor fears, this positive story is reinforced rather than undermined by slowing economic activity and the occasional bank crisis.

Financial markets have concluded that this "slow-motion" pause by the Federal Open Market Committee is an inflection in monetary policy. When central bankers place themselves deliberately "behind the curve," their policy moves are no longer leading indicators for financial assets. Markets will anticipate the belated shifts in policy.

To be clear, our interpretation is not one of persistently high inflation à la the 1970s. This is a forecast of price instability, in which inflation rates are much more variable than in the past quarter century. Amid price instability and cost-push pressures for labor, the setting is ripe for a comet tail of central banking errors of the kind witnessed over the past 15 months.

For now, this debate is ongoing. In any case, it is beyond the immediate horizon of markets. The momentum of disinflation is the visible narrative into summer. For this reason, our January message is largely intact:

"As decelerating inflation exacerbates the inversion of US yield curves, the debate around an outright easing of Fed policy will intensify. Markets will be sensitive to this debate because it drives perceptions around recession risk.

But there is no recession on the horizon. The risk is not that corporate profits collapse but that the profit cycle is mature, and the upside is modest. Valuations rather than earnings will drive markets in H1. We see a window of opportunity for equities, but the entry point was last September, and the risk/reward will be less favorable through the second half of 2023."

Our advice for clients is to enjoy the interregnum of 2023. Sometime in 2024, we believe it will become apparent that the demise of a low and stable inflation regime is the principal discontinuity that began this decade.

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.

CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Convertible Fund returned 0.93% (Class I shares at net asset value), moderately outpacing the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0) 0.65% increase.

Since the Class I shares inception on June 25, 1997, the Fund has returned 7.68% on an annualized basis in line with an annualized gain of 7.83% for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles Index (VXA0) and slightly trailing the 8.17% annualized return of the S&P 500 Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

During the semiannual period, investors focused on the Federal Reserve's response to persistent inflation and the potential for a recession. Geopolitical concerns and regional bank stress also dominated the headlines. Despite these headwinds, the equity and bond markets began to recover from 2022's lows with the S&P 500 Index returning 8.63% while the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index rose 6.91%.

The convertible market is well represented by small and midsize growth issuers, which lagged behind the broader equity market as evidenced by the Russell 2500 Growth Index 1.88% return finishing well behind the S&P 500 Index 8.63% return. Given 2022's equity and bond market double-digit declines, convertibles moved closer to their bond floor. With more than half of the convertible market priced below par on average during the reporting period, convertibles held up much better than their underlying stocks and delivered a positive six-month return, whereas the average underlying stocks of the convertible market declined -2.40%.

From an economic sector perspective, the Fund benefited from its overweight position and favorable selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. In consumer discretionary, the Fund's selection in the hotels, resorts & cruise lines, and casinos & gaming industries outperformed. In information technology, the Fund saw strong relative performance from its holdings in the semiconductors and data processing & outsourced services industries.

Areas that detracted from the Fund's results included selection in energy as well as the portfolio's relatively light position and security selection in the financials sector. In energy, the Fund's holdings in the oil & gas drilling industry notably lagged. In financials, the portfolio names within the transaction & payment processing services industry trailed while the portfolio lacked an allocation to the relatively strong-performing mortgage REITs industry.

How is the Fund positioned?

We focus on actively managing the risk/reward trade-offs within the portfolio. The characteristics of convertible securities vary. Some convertibles are more bond-like, some are more equity-like, and others offer balance. To take advantage of recent equity valuation resets, we have maintained a preference for the balanced portion of the convertible market. Balanced convertibles provide a favorable asymmetric payoff profile by offering an attractive level of upside equity participation with less exposure to downside moves. We also see opportunities within the bond-like segment of the convertible market in issues that can benefit

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Convertible Fund (Unaudited)

from spread compression while offering attractive yields and good structural risk mitigation during equity market weakness. Within this segment of the convertible market, most issuers retain strong cash balances along with minimal near-term refinancing risk. We avoided the group's most distressed names.

Technology and health care remain the largest sector allocations in the portfolio. Reflecting our strong focus on bottom-up company analysis, we favor companies that are executing well despite macro uncertainties; are considered best-in-class; and are long-term winners benefiting from lasting secular themes such as cybersecurity, automation and productivity enhancements. These long-term themes serve as a beacon in turbulent times, such as now, and help us identify innovative firms whose valuations we believe will most likely be rewarded over time. Many of these are growth firms that have shifted focus from growth-at-all-costs to improving margins, generating free cash flow, and increasing profitability. Holding these names should prove advantageous as higher-quality growth becomes scarce as the era of free money ends. Financials and real estate are the largest relative underweight positions in the portfolio. In our view, the risk/reward characteristics in this space are generally unfavorable, and many issuers are susceptible to the negative impact of higher rates. Also, we believe the portfolio's holdings in financials do not share the same deposit risk seen in other currently stressed financials.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We observed market volatility throughout the reporting period as the United States and Europe experienced notable banking stresses while continuing to raise interest rates to combat persistently high inflation. This has contributed to slowing economic growth, which we believe will likely linger given tighter lending standards and higher capital costs. Heightened uncertainty and the probability of a recession are expected. However, provided the hot US job market can be cooled but not derailed and further banking dislocations can be contained, we do not believe that a recession is imminent. With inflation peaking, supply chains normalizing, a resilient consumer and a Federal Reserve close to ending rate hikes, a bullish case remains for equities—and convertible securities.

Convertible new issuance was subdued in 2022 but has improved in 2023 with higher coupons and lower conversion premiums that are more favorable to investors. So far in 2023, global convertible issuance totaled $25.4 billion, and we are optimistic about issuance prospects going forward. We believe the pace will accelerate once macro uncertainty subsides and as companies increasingly recognize the benefits of issuing lower-coupon convertibles rather than traditional bonds in an environment of higher interest rates. We expect this increase in issuance will provide a broader opportunity set in terms of both economic sectors and credit quality.

Should the equity market continue to rebound from 2022's lows, we believe convertibles remain poised to participate in an attractive portion of their equity market's upside. Should the market prove challenging, we believe convertibles are situated near their bond floor and would be expected to provide defensive attributes. In this respect, we think the current environment is attractive for active managers within the convertible market because we can position the portfolio to capture the upside while mitigating the downside.

CALAMOS GLOBAL CONVERTIBLE FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

Despite persistent inflation, geopolitical concerns, deposit risk in the banking sector and interest rate uncertainty, the convertible and equity markets posted positive returns during the semiannual period. The global convertible market, represented by the Refinitv Global Convertible Bond Index, advanced 6.75% and participated in more than half of the broader equity market's upside as represented by the MSCI World Index's 12.57% gain. The Calamos Global Convertible Fund returned 6.04% (Class I shares at net asset value), slightly trailing the convertible benchmark index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Small and mid-cap growth issuers are well represented in the global convertible market, and the reporting period proved especially challenging for convertibles issued by these smaller companies. For some perspective, the underlying stocks of the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index were down -27.43% on average and correlated with the return of the Russell Midcap Growth Index (-25.96%). Despite underperforming the MSCI World Index, convertibles displayed their ability to mitigate the downside and participated in only 63% of their underlying stocks' decline. As the equity market moved lower, convertibles moved closer to their bond floor and their downside resistance kicked in further. By the end of April, more than half of the global convertible market was priced below par.

Despite short-term interest rates rising during the reporting period, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index yield to maturity declined 65 basis points to 4.36%, and global high-yield corporate credit spreads narrowed 42 basis points to 517 basis points, according to Bloomberg. Declining interest rates and narrowing credit spreads supported the bond component of convertibles during the reporting period.

From an economic sector perspective, the Fund benefited the most from security selection in the communication services sector where holdings in the cable & satellite and interactive home entertainment industries provided outsized results. Favorable security selection in the information technology sector also added value as the portfolio's holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor materials & equipment industries outperformed.

The areas that most detracted from performance included materials and consumer discretionary. Within materials, an underweight allocation and security selection, notably in the specialty chemicals and steel industries, held back relative results. In consumer discretionary, the relative return was hindered by security selection mainly within the automobile manufacturers and hotels, resorts & cruise lines industries.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefitted from its favorable selection in the United States and Emerging Asia. An underweight position and security selection in Europe, as well as disappointing names in Canada, held back the first-quarter result.

How is the Fund positioned?

So far in 2023, $25.4 billion in new global convertibles have come to market, including many attractively structured deals. This uptick in new issuance provided

Calamos Global Convertible Fund (Unaudited)

the opportunity to marginally increase the Fund's risk level closer to that of the global convertible market. However, we remain cautious and are prepared for continued volatility.

From a sector standpoint, the information technology, consumer discretionary and health care sectors represent the largest allocations on an absolute basis, whereas the lightest exposures reside in materials, real estate and consumer staples. Relative to the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index, the largest overweight positions are information technology, heath care and financials. Conversely, industrials, utilities and materials comprise the most significant relative underweights.

We have identified the most opportunities among US issuers, followed by companies in Europe. The US and Canada represent the largest regional overweights, whereas Europe is currently the most significant underweight. The underweight in Europe reflects a challenging bottom-up opportunity set and the concerning macro environment.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We observed market volatility throughout the reporting period as the United States and Europe dealt with notable banking stresses while central banks continued to raise interest rates to combat persistently high inflation. This all contributed to slowing global economic growth, which we believe will likely linger, given tighter lending standards and higher capital costs. We expect that these challenges will also lead to greater uncertainty and bouts of volatility.

There has been a lot of conversation about tightening cycles, ultimately triggering financial accidents. The collapse of Long-Term Capital Management and Lehman Brothers immediately come to mind. Do the events surrounding Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse signal the bottom of this cycle? It's hard to say, but these shocks may at least signal the start of a bottoming process. With signs of weakness in the real economy popping up, it's reasonable to think we are close to the end of the Fed's tightening cycle. Whether we are close to the start of the next Fed easing cycle may determine the path the market takes from here.

Convertible new issuance was subdued in 2022 but has improved in 2023 with higher coupons and lower conversion premiums that are more favorable to investors. We are optimistic about issuance prospects going forward, and we believe the pace will accelerate once macro uncertainty subsides and companies increasingly recognize the benefits of issuing lower-coupon convertibles rather than traditional bonds in an environment of higher interest rates. We expect this increase in issuance will bring about attractive opportunities in terms of a broad opportunity set that offers both economic sector and credit quality.

Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited)

CALAMOS TIMPANI SMALL CAP
GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund returned -6.57% (Class I shares at net asset value), lagging the Russell 2000 Growth Index return of -0.29%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The period was greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors as the Fed and central bankers around the world were in the midst of raising interest rates in an effort to tackle inflation. Prior to the beginning of the semiannual period, the US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, had made a near-term bottom in October 2022 after the market had absorbed 300 basis points of interest rate increases in the fed funds rate. Those increases were made in historically short order (approximately six months), and the broad market, not surprisingly, did not react favorably falling -24% from late December 2021 through early October 2022. During the six-month reporting period, the Fed continued its mission to tame inflation and raised rates another 175 basis points, but equity investors came to believe that the end of rate hikes might be at hand. In early March, however, concerns about bank failures unnerved the market, with the negative effects even more pronounced among small-cap stocks. Regional banks make up a larger percentage of small-cap indices, and investors also showed a preference for larger companies should bank credit creation slow. For the semiannual period, the S&P 500 Index recovered with a gain of 8.63%, but small-cap stocks struggled with the Russell 2000 Index delivering a -3.46% loss for the six-month period.

On the one hand, employment is quite strong, and wage gains have helped households as inflation drops from historically high levels. Corporate earnings have retreated, but earnings data have beaten market expectations over the past few quarters. Although the cost of capital has increased, data suggest that US homeowners and corporations are less interest rate sensitive today than in years past. On the other hand, although job openings are still relatively plentiful, select industries and businesses have announced job cuts, and the rapid increase in interest rates has found its way into the banking sector. Notable failures, such as Silicon Valley Bank in the US and Credit Suisse overseas, raised concerns that there could be more risks in the banking industry, which would likely lead to a slowdown in credit availability and overall economic growth. Supply chain concerns have improved, and energy prices have retreated, yet inflation is still higher than central bankers would prefer.

Within the small-cap market, growth stocks outpaced value stocks as investors turned to stocks that perhaps had been oversold and favored businesses that may be better able to provide growth in a slower-growth environment. In addition, the small-cap value market includes larger weights in regional banks, which have come under pressure from interest rate moves and lending margins. Within the Russell 2000 Growth Index, consumer staples (+11.4%), consumer discretionary (+5.2%), health care (+2.3%), industrials (+2.2%), communication services (+1.4%) and materials (+0.3%) led the market, whereas information technology

(-3.5%), real estate (+5.5%), utilities (+6.2%), financials (-7.4%) and energy (-15.1%) lagged behind the market.

The Fund's focus on businesses with strong and sustainable, yet underestimated growth was out of favor for the full semiannual period, though the approach came back into favor in the second half of the period ahead of the regional bank issues weighing on markets. For the reporting period, Fund performance was affected by security selection rather than sector allocations, which were marginally additive. Among sector allocations, an underweight in the beleaguered financials sector and an overweight in growth businesses within the consumer staples sectors supported relative performance. An underweight in industrials and an overweight in information technology were detractors to relative performance. At the individual selection level, Fund holdings in information technology and health care underperformed. Within information technology, holdings in application software and semiconductors lagged behind for the full period. In the health care sector, the Fund's holdings in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industrials detracted from performance, although names that were previously out of favor saw some interest from a valuation perspective. The Fund benefited from growth-oriented selection within the consumer staples sector, including holdings in personal care products and soft drinks. Fund holdings in the building products and aerospace & defense industries within the industrials sector also added value for the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund ended the period with notable overweights in health care, consumer staples and information technology. Over the semiannual period, the largest increase in relative weight occurred with consumer discretionary stocks, shifting the portfolio allocation from a notable underweight to a modest overweight. Conversely, the Fund held notable underweights in the energy, materials and the industrials sectors at the end of the period. Energy experienced the largest decrease in relative weight, beginning the period with a modest overweight and ending it with a notable underweight.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The portfolio is tilted toward stocks with above-average growth and visible fundamental strength. Oddly enough, those were bad places to be in 2022 and early 2023. However, we believe the markets are on the verge of appreciating companies with fundamental momentum once again, and we began to see evidence of this change for the better in early February. Although some are worried about slower growth at the macro level, during economic slowdowns when growth is scarce, our growth-rich portfolios have often performed well.

Although the banking crisis will likely result in tighter lending standards, the upshot is that the Federal Reserve likely won't need to hike interest rates as much to achieve its goals. Ending the hikes could have a sustained positive impact on equity valuation multiples.

There's a lot of twisting and turning—but quietly, in the background, something important is happening: Correlations among stocks are trending lower and are back to near-average levels. Why is this important? When correlations are high, it means stocks are all moving together and are being driven largely by macro developments. Falling correlations mean the macro impact is lessening and that company-specific developments are driving more of the stock-price action. This can often be a favorable backdrop for savvy stock pickers who focus on company-specific fundamentals.

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 subtransfer agency fees of the Fund's other share classes divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes).

  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 six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund returned -3.81% (Class I shares at net asset value), lagging the Russell 2500 Growth Index return of 1.88%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The period was greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors as the Federal Reserve (Fed) and central bankers around the world were in the midst of raising interest rates in an effort to tackle inflation. Prior to the beginning of the semiannual period, the US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, had made a near-term bottom in October 2022 after the market had absorbed 300 basis points of interest rate increases in the fed funds rate. Those increases were made in historically short order (approximately six months), and the broad market, not surprisingly, did not react favorably falling -24% from late December 2021 through early October 2022.

During the semiannual reporting period, the Fed continued its mission to tame inflation and raised rates another 175 basis points, but equity investors came to believe that the end of rate hikes may be at hand. In early March, however, concerns about bank failures unnerved the market with the negative effects even more pronounced among small-cap stocks. Regional banks make up a larger percentage of small-cap indices, and investors also showed a preference for larger companies should bank credit creation slow. For the semiannual period, the S&P 500 Index recovered with a gain of 8.63%, but small- to mid-cap stocks lagged with the Russell 2500 Index delivering a 1.88% gain for the six-month period.

On the one hand, employment is quite strong, and wage gains have helped households as inflation drops from historically high levels. Corporate earnings have retreated, but earnings data have beaten market expectations over the past few quarters. Although the cost of capital has increased, data suggest that US homeowners and corporations are less interest-rate sensitive today than in years past. On the other hand, although job openings are still relatively plentiful, select industries and businesses have announced job cuts, and the rapid increase in interest rates has created problems in the banking sector. Notable failures, such as Silicon Valley Bank in the US and Credit Suisse overseas, raised concerns that there could be more risks in the banking industry, which would likely lead to a slowdown in credit availability and overall economic growth. Supply-chain concerns have improved, and energy prices have retreated, yet inflation is still higher than central bankers would prefer.

Within the small- to mid-cap market, growth outpaced value as investors turned to stocks that perhaps had been oversold and favored businesses that may be better able to provide growth in a slower-growth environment. In addition, the small-to-mid-cap value market includes larger weights in regional banks, which have come under pressure from interest rate moves and lending margins. Within the Russell 2500 Growth Index, consumer staples (+11.8%), consumer discretionary (+10.7%), communication services (+5.2%), materials (+5.1%), health care (+3.6%), real estate (+3.4%) and industrials (+3.1%) led the market, whereas information technology (-0.2%), utilities (-4.0%), financials (-5.8%) and energy (-19.9%) lagged behind the overall index return.

Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund's focus on businesses with strong and sustainable, yet underestimated growth was out of favor for the full semiannual period, though the approach came back into favor in the second half of the period ahead of the regional bank issues weighing on markets. For the reporting period, Fund performance was negatively influenced by security selection rather than sector allocations. Among sector allocations, an underweight in the beleaguered financials sector and an overweight in growth businesses within the consumer staples sectors supported relative performance.

An overweight in energy (at the start of 2023) and an overweight in information technology each detracted from relative performance. At the individual selection level, Fund holdings in information technology and health care underperformed. Within information technology, holdings in application software and communications equipment underperformed for the full period. In the health care sector, the Fund's holdings in biotechnology lost ground. The Fund benefited from growth-oriented selection within the consumer staples sector, notably among holdings in personal care products. Fund holdings in the building products and aerospace & defense industries within the industrials sector also added value for the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund ended the period with notable overweights in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors. Over the semiannual period, the largest increase in relative weight occurred with consumer discretionary stocks, which shifted from an underweight to a significant overweight. Conversely, the Fund held notable underweights in the financials, materials and energy sectors at the end of the period. Energy experienced the largest decrease in relative weight, beginning the period with an overweight and ending it with a notable underweight.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

The portfolio is tilted toward stocks with above-average growth and visible fundamental strength. Oddly enough, those were bad places to be in 2022 and the early part of 2023. However, we believe the markets are on the verge of appreciating companies with fundamental momentum once again, and we began to see evidence of this change for the better in early February. Although some are worried about slower growth at the macro level, during economic slowdowns when growth is scarce, our growth-rich portfolios have often performed well.

Although the banking crisis will likely result in tighter lending standards, the upshot is that the Fed likely won't need to hike interest rates as much to achieve its goals. Ending the hikes could have a sustained positive impact on equity valuation multiples.

There's a lot of twisting and turning—but quietly, in the background, something important is happening: Correlations among stocks are trending lower and are back to near-average levels. Why is this important? When correlations are high, it means stocks are all moving together and are being driven largely by macro developments. Falling correlations mean the macro impact is lessening and that company-specific developments are driving more of the stock-price action. This can often be a favorable backdrop for savvy stock pickers who focus on company-specific fundamentals.

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.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/23, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.93%, Class I shares is 1.65% and Class R6 shares is 1.63%. 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 shares and Class I shares are limited to 1.35% and 1.10% 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 1.10% less the Fund's annual sub-transfer agency ratio (the aggregate subtransfer 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.

†  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.

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. 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 GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Growth Fund returned 9.69% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the S&P 1500 Growth Index return of 7.44%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The period was greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors as the Federal Reserve (Fed) and central bankers around the world were in the midst of raising interest rates in an effort to tackle inflation. Prior to the beginning of the semiannual period, the US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, had made a near-term bottom in October 2022 after the market had absorbed 300 basis points of interest rate increases in the fed funds rate.

During this six-month reporting period, the Fed continued its mission to tame inflation and raised rates another 175 basis points, but equity investors came to believe that the end of rate hikes might be at hand. The S&P 500 Index recovered with a gain of 8.63%, yet the broad market has been somewhat range bound as investors grapple with conflicting evidence.

On the one hand, employment is quite strong, and wage gains have helped households as inflation drops from historically high levels. Corporate earnings have retreated, but earnings data have beaten market expectations over the past few quarters. Although the cost of capital has increased, data suggest US homeowners and corporations are less interest rate sensitive today than in years past. On the other hand, although job openings are still relatively plentiful, select industries and businesses have announced job cuts, and the rapid increase in interest rates has found its way into the banking sector. Notable failures, such as Silicon Valley Bank in the US and Credit Suisse overseas, raised concerns that there could be more risks in the banking industry, which would likely lead to a slowdown in credit availability and overall economic growth. Supply-chain concerns have improved, and energy prices have retreated, yet inflation is still higher than central bankers would prefer.

Over the semiannual period, the market showed a strong preference for large-cap stocks over small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000 Index's 7.24% return, which handily outpaced the Russell 2000 Index's -3.46% decrease. Growth stocks lagged value stocks within the S&P 1500 Index for the semiannual period (S&P 1500 Growth Index 7.44% versus S&P 1500 Value Index 8.30%), although more recently growth stocks have returned to favor as investors turned toward stocks that perhaps had been oversold and favored businesses that may be better able to provide growth in a slower-growth environment. Within the S&P 1500 Growth Index, information technology (+19.9%) and communication services (+17.6%) led the market, while materials (+6.4%), industrials (+5.1%), consumer staples (+4.1%), real estate (+2.3%), health care (-0.8%), financials (-1.0%), consumer discretionary (-2.5%), energy (-8.7%) and utilities (-8.9%) lagged the index.

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.

The Fund's focus on companies with solid balance sheets and strong cash flows contributed to performance over the period as investors sought companies with better balance sheets and potentially less dependence on the banking industry. In addition to individual stock selection, the Fund benefitted from sector positioning, where the Fund's allocations added value in 9 of the 11 sectors. From a sector perspective, the Fund's strong selection among consumer discretionary names added significant value as did overall sector weight. Holdings in footwear and internet & direct marketing retail were among the greatest contributors to performance. The Fund also realized significant benefits from an underweight and superior selection within the health care sector. The Fund reduced its health care holdings over the period and saw the most benefit by navigating the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. Conversely, investments within the financials sector were a drag on relative performance for the semiannual period. While the regional banking industry added value, holdings among investment banking & brokerage firms as well as diversified banks detracted from relative performance. Holdings in industrials, notably airlines, were also modestly detrimental to performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund continues to focus on higher-quality businesses with better balance sheets during these uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Over the semiannual period, the biggest change in positioning was a reduction in health care relative to the S&P 1500 Growth Index with the Fund moving from a slight overweight at the beginning of the semiannual period to a relatively significant underweight by the end of the period. The energy sector is another significant underweight for the Fund after holdings were reduced over the period. The Fund's more significant overweights reside in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors where we believe secular growth opportunities are attractive.

What closing thoughts do you have for Fund shareholders?

While the macro picture is far from clear, as investors turn their attention back to corporate fundamentals, we believe companies with solid balance sheets and strong cash flows can benefit from the tighter financial conditions that pressure their weaker peers. Attractive growth opportunities can be found in many places, and we believe the trend toward services will continue and the travel and leisure industries will benefit as a result. We believe the current rate environment, coupled with moderating inflation and reasonable global growth, provides a solid backdrop for secular growth companies.

Looking ahead, a major focal point will be whether the recent developments in the banking sector will precipitate a further tightening in lending standards as banks take a more conservative approach with their balance sheets. We believe any such action would weigh negatively on business and consumer spending and raise the prospects for an economic slowdown in the second half of the year.

In any event, it is clear the Fed is largely done with its rate-hiking cycle, and we believe it has the necessary tools to fight any future bank runs should they arise. In our opinion, inflation should fall through the summer months, and a debt ceiling impasse, while headline grabbing, should not prove to be a long-term negative for the markets.

CALAMOS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Growth and Income Fund posted a 6.62% return (Class I Shares at net asset value) versus a return of 8.63% for the S&P 500 Index and 0.44% return for the ICE BofA All US Convertibles ex Mandatory Index. We manage this Fund with the goal of achieving the Fund's objective through upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. Since its Class I shares inception on September 18, 1997, the Fund has returned 9.46% on an annualized basis versus a 7.95% gain for the S&P 500 Index and 7.89% 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 byproduct 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 compared to 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 be twice as volatile as the market. Since its inception, the Fund has had a beta of 0.76 (Class I shares) compared to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund, therefore, outperformed the broader equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, with less volatility than the equity market. 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 reporting period?

The period was greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors as the Fed and central bankers around the world were in the midst of raising interest rates in an effort to tackle inflation. Prior to the beginning of the semiannual period, the US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, had made a near-term bottom in October 2022 after the market had absorbed 300 basis points of interest rate increases in the fed funds rate.

Supply-chain headaches have subsided,

and energy prices have retreated, yet inflation is still higher than central bankers would like to see.

The market showed a strong preference for large-cap stocks over small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000 Index's 7.24% return for the period, which handily outpaced the Russell 2000 Index's -3.46% return. Across the market-cap spectrum, growth stocks outpaced value stocks as investors turned to stocks that perhaps had been oversold and favored businesses that might be better able to provide growth in an overall slower-growth environment. Within the S&P 500 Index, communication services (+23.2%), information technology (+18.7%) and materials (+9.9%) led the market, whereas consumer staples (+8.1%), industrials (+6.9%), utilities (+4.9%), real estate (+4.8%), consumer discretionary (+3.0%), health care (+1.4%), financials (-1.0%) and energy (-3.4%) lagged behind the market.

For the six-month period, the Fund lagged behind the all-equity index largely because of issue selection during an uncharacteristically difficult period for convertible bonds relative to the broad equity market. The S&P 500 Index was dominated by the largest of large-cap names for the period, with the top-six names accounting for approximately half of the return. Convertible securities, which the Fund has historically utilized to help reduce outright equity risk, struggled because the underlying equities of convertible issuers were out of favor for the period. Investors simply showed a strong preference for large-cap stocks.

We consider our investments in convertibles along with our selection in common stocks as our means for adjusting the risk-reward potential for the portfolio as a whole. Our stocks outperformed those of the index because we favorably held a bias toward the large-cap and growth-oriented names. Nevertheless, the Fund's holdings en masse lagged behind the all-equity benchmark. Sector allocations had a broadly neutral impact on relative performance for the period. The Fund's beneficial underweight in the struggling financials sector was essentially offset by an underweight in the recovering information technology sector. Security selection trailed that of the all-equity benchmark. Specifically, Fund holdings in communication services trailed those of the index because that sector was the top performer in the index for the period, and convertible holdings fell behind. Selection in the industrials sector also detracted from performance because the Fund's names in industrial machinery & supplies & components as well as conglomerates trailed the index names. Conversely, selection in consumer discretionary, namely in automobile manufacturers as well as casinos & gaming, was additive to relative performance for the period.

How is the Fund positioned?

From an asset class perspective, our positioning continues to favor equities over fixed income, with convertible securities being the most favored fixed-income security. Traditional fixed income continues to face pressure in a rising interest rate environment. Overall, we are emphasizing companies with higher-quality characteristics, such as balance sheet strength, earnings quality and stable cash flow generation, among other factors. Thematically, we are seeking companies positioned to benefit from a goods-to-services transition, where demand is improving not decelerating. Our positioning will likely become more positive and constructive once the investment markets stabilize out of this period of rebasing expectations.

Previously, we had outlined the case for modestly increasing the risk posture in the Fund by focusing on select areas of the economy that we believe should show improving economic growth in 2023 and 2024 and on companies that can improve capital returns during that time. Our premise to selectively add risk was

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Growth and Income Fund (Unaudited)

based on several factors, including our conviction in the long-term US economic growth trajectory, positive policy changes, and improvement in certain parts of the economy. The events of Q1 2023 (i.e., banking issues, a slowing of central bank rate increases, continued moderate slowing of inflation and economic growth, and corporate cost-cutting measures) have in the aggregate supported our current risk profile but have also honed our risk-taking focus on select growth and return improvement areas. Finally, we combine our risk profile with a focus on security valuation to target an appropriate return for the risk in this volatile environment.

We believe the best positioning for this environment begins with a higher-quality portfolio to provide a defensive posture while assuming additional risk in specific areas that we believe have real growth tailwinds, in companies with improving returns on capital in 2023 and 2024, and in equities and convertible structures with valuations at favorable expected risk-adjusted returns. We see compelling prospects for companies that offer exposure to new products and geographic growth opportunities, specific infrastructure spending areas and policy change areas (including companies with exposure to China), and the normalization of supply chains and parts of the service economy. We are still favoring higher-credit-quality companies with improving free cash flow. We are selectively using options to gain differentiated exposure to higher-risk areas. From an asset class perspective, cash and short-term Treasuries remain useful tools to lower volatility in a multi-asset-class portfolio, given their yields.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We remain confident that the positive long-term growth trajectory of the US economy and the cash flow generation capabilities of US companies are intact. The ability of management teams 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 believe are at fair value or below fair value for a majority of US companies.

Policy changes are often a catalyst for economic improvement, although that improvement may require time to appear. Positive policy changes that occur toward the end of an economic slowdown have historically caused equity markets to rally even when the economy continues to deteriorate. We believe several recent policy changes will be catalysts for future growth in certain parts of the economy. These policies include recently passed US legislation, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act; increased US fiscal discipline from a divided government should also help. In addition, there is the potential for additional bank regulation and FDIC insurance limit changes, which could improve the stability of the banking industry while increasing compliance costs. Global policy shifts also are having an impact, most notably, China's decision to lift Covid-19 restrictions and reopen its economy as well as the slowing of global central bank interest rate increases. Although these policies will take time to have a direct and positive impact, we believe equities will reflect these positives in the short term.

Finally, we continue to identify a divergence in growth in different parts of the economy and corporate returns on capital. Some parts of the economy have been slowing for quarters and may be nearing their individual cyclic bottoms, whereas other parts of the economy are still showing improvement from pre-Covid-19 levels. Many companies are focused on improving their returns on capital through

improved efficiencies, normalized supply chains, clarity on the interest rate environment, and an improved currency environment in the case of multinationals. The pace of corporate cost-cutting and restructuring has increased over the past several months across several areas, providing more opportunities to identify companies with improving returns on capital. The dispersion of cost-cutting measures over time should also provide some cushion to overall economic growth. Over the short- and intermediate-terms, we believe improved real returns on capital should drive higher equity prices.

CALAMOS DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Dividend Growth Fund returned 8.35% (Class I shares at net asset value), largely in line with the S&P 500 Index return of 8.63%.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

The period was greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors as the Fed and central bankers around the world were in the midst of raising interest rates in an effort to tackle inflation. Prior to the beginning of the semiannual period, the US equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, had made a near-term bottom in October 2022 after the market had absorbed 300 basis points of interest rate increases in the fed funds rate. Those increases were made in historically short order (approximately six months), and the market, not surprisingly, did not react favorably falling -24% from late December 2021 through early October 2022. During this six-month reporting period, the Fed continued its mission to tame inflation and raised rates another 175 basis points, but equity investors came to believe that the end of rate hikes may be at hand. The S&P 500 Index recovered with a gain of 8.63%, yet the broad market has been somewhat range bound for the past five months as investors grappled with conflicting evidence.

On the one hand, employment is quite strong, and wage gains have helped households as inflation drops from historically high levels. Corporate earnings have retreated, but earnings data have beaten market expectations over the past few quarters. Although the cost of capital has increased, data suggest US homeowners and corporations are less interest rate sensitive today than in years past. On the other hand, although job openings are still relatively plentiful, select industries and businesses have announced job cuts, and the rapid increase in interest rates has found its way into the banking sector. Notable failures, such as Silicon Valley Bank in the US and Credit Suisse overseas, raised concerns that there could be more risks in the banking industry, which would likely lead to a slowdown in credit availability and overall economic growth. Supply chain concerns have improved, and energy prices have retreated, yet inflation is still higher than central bankers would prefer.

Over the semiannual period, the market showed a strong preference for large-cap stocks over small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000 Index's 7.24% return, which handily outpaced the Russell 2000 Index's -3.46% return. Across the Russell Investments' market-cap spectrum, growth stocks outpaced value stocks as investors turned to stocks that perhaps had been oversold and favored businesses that may be better able to provide growth in a slower-growth environment. Within the S&P 500 Index, communication services (+23.2%), information technology (+18.7%) and materials (+9.9%), led the market, while consumer staples (+8.1%), industrials (+6.9%), utilities (+4.9%), real estate (+4.8%), consumer discretionary (+3.0%), health care (+1.4%), financials (-1.0%) and energy (-3.4%) lagged the market.

The Fund's focus on higher-quality businesses with higher cash flows contributed to performance over the period as investors sought companies with stronger balance sheets and potentially less dependence on the banking industry. From a sector perspective, the Fund's modest overweight in the energy sector was a slight drag on relative performance given that energy prices retreated during the period.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Calamos Dividend Growth Fund (Unaudited)

Fortunately, issue selection within the sector was beneficial as the Fund's holdings in oil & gas refining were notably strong. Fund holdings among consumer discretionary stocks also boosted relative performance for the period thanks to gains in automobile manufacturers and the casinos & gaming industry. Individual security selection within industrials was a net drag on relative performance with industrial conglomerates and passenger airlines underperforming. Additionally, as the benchmark's top-six holdings provided half of the benchmark's returns for the period, the Fund's return benefited from these big-cap names.

How is the Fund positioned?

The events of early 2023 (banking issues, a slowing of central bank rate increases, a moderate slowing of inflation and economic growth, and corporate cost-cutting measures) have in aggregate supported our current positioning.

The Fund remains broadly diversified by sectors, favoring investments in dividend-paying equities and strong cash-flow-generating businesses. Allocations to financials rose slightly during the period through a combination of stronger relative performance and the addition of holdings in payment processing while reducing names in banking. By contrast, allocations to health care decreased over the period with reductions to names within pharmaceuticals and managed care.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We remain confident that the positive long-term growth trajectory of the US economy and the cash flow generation capabilities of US companies are intact. The ability of management teams 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 believe are at fair value or below fair value for a majority of US companies.

Policy changes are often a catalyst for economic improvement, although that improvement may require time to appear. Positive policy changes that occur toward the end of an economic slowdown have historically caused equity markets to rally even when the economy continues to deteriorate during that time. We believe several recent policy changes will be catalysts for future growth in certain parts of the economy. These policies include recently passed US legislation, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act; and increased US fiscal discipline from a divided government should also help. In addition, there is the potential for additional bank regulation and FDIC insurance limit changes that could improve the stability of the banking industry while increasing compliance costs. Global policy shifts also are having an impact, most notably, China's decision to lift Covid-19 restrictions and reopen its economy, and the slowing of global central bank interest rate increases. Although these policies will take time to have a direct and positive impact, we believe equities will reflect these positives in the short term.

Finally, we continue to identify a divergence in growth in different parts of the economy and in corporate returns on capital. Some parts of the economy have been slowing for quarters and may be nearing their individual cyclic bottoms, whereas other parts of the economy are still showing improvement from pre-Covid-19 levels. Many companies are focused on improving their returns on capital through improved efficiencies, normalized supply chains, clarity on the interest rate environment, and in the case of multinationals, an improved currency environment. The pace of corporate cost-cutting and restructuring has increased over the past several months across several areas, providing more opportunities

better balance sheets and potentially less dependence on the banking industry, but an underweight in information technology and not owing Meta Platforms caused the Fund to lag the S&P 500 Index for the period. The Fund began the semiannual period with a significant underweight in information technology given that the market had shown little interest in owning higher-multiple, high-future growth businesses in a rising-interest-rate environment. As the semiannual period evolved, the Fund did reduce that underweight position, but the relative effect of that weight detracted from relative performance. As mentioned, the most significant detractor during the period was the absence of Meta Platforms within the communication services sector. Meta Platforms saw a 157% gain during the period and accounted for approximately 12% of the index's gain. The Fund held Alphabet, the largest name within the communication services sector. Alphabet had a 14% return for the period, outperforming the broad market. Although the Fund's underweight in information technology detracted from relative performance, individual security selection outperformed and was a strong contributor to relative performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund continues to focus on higher-quality businesses with better balance sheets during these uncertain macro conditions. Over the semiannual period, the biggest change in positioning was to increase the information technology sector allocation to a slight underweight relative to the S&P 500 Index. At period end, the largest overweight was in the consumer staples sector where we believe opportunities exist among steady growth businesses with strong balance sheets.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

While the macro picture is far from clear, as investors turn their attention back to corporate fundamentals, we believe companies with solid balance sheets and strong cash flows can benefit from the tighter financial conditions that pressure their weaker peers. Attractive growth opportunities can be found in many places, and we believe the trend toward services will continue and that the travel and leisure industries will benefit as a result. We believe the current rate environment, coupled with moderating inflation and reasonable global growth, provides a solid backdrop for secular growth companies.

Looking ahead, a major focal point will be whether the recent developments in the banking sector precipitate a further tightening in lending standards as banks take a more conservative approach with their balance sheets. Any such action would weigh negatively on business and consumer spending and raise the prospect of an economic slowdown in the second half of the year.

In any event, it is clear the Fed is largely done with its rate hiking cycle, and we believe it has the necessary tools to fight any future bank runs should they arise. Inflation should fall through the summer months, and a debt ceiling impasse, while headline grabbing, should not prove to be a long-term negative for the markets.

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos International Growth Fund returned 16.46% (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 25.76% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and a 20.96% return for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index over the period.

We believe the Fund's compelling medium- and long-term performance demonstrates its ability to generate excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments. Since its inception on March 17, 2005, the Fund has returned 6.84% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.08% return for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and a 5.30% return for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

International stocks experienced significant volatility and rotation but ultimately generated strong returns over the semiannual period. Investors navigated multiple environments characterized by tighter monetary policy and volatility in the global banking sector, but also encouraging signs of moderating inflation and resilient corporate earnings.

The Fund trailed the index over the semiannual period because of relative security selection. The Fund's holdings in foreign stocks with secular and cyclical growth characteristics trailed the defensive and income-oriented securities that were rewarded by international markets over the period.

Positive Influences on Performance

Health Care. The Fund benefitted from security selection and an average underweight position in health care where holdings in the pharmaceuticals and the life sciences tools & services industries added to relative returns.

Real Estate. A lack of exposure to real estate elevated performance.

Negative Influences on Performance

Industrials. Over the period, security selection and an average underweight position within the industrials sector weakened return. In particular, positions in the aerospace & defense industry and the industrial machinery & supplies & components industry lost ground relative to their index peers.

Information Technology. Security selection and an average overweight allocation within the systems software and application software industries of the information technology sector lagged behind their industry groups in the index.

Geographic Performance

A lack of exposure to EMEA, notably our absence from Israel, added value to the portfolio's return.

Conversely, security selection and an average underweight stance in Europe proved to be detrimental to the Fund's return. In particular, underweight positions in the United Kingdom and France detracted from performance.

OVERVIEW

The Fund offers a dynamic approach to accessing international growth opportunities. We apply our active investment approach to build a portfolio of companies with superior growth and quality attributes across developed and emerging market.

KEY FEATURES

  Identifies companies with compelling growth, competitive advantages and financial strength.

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

  Investment universe spans geographies and market caps, providing a wide breadth of opportunities.

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

PORTFOLIO FIT

As an active, true growth offering with a differentiated return profile, the Fund can potentially help investors optimize capital appreciation within their international allocation.

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 growth, cyclicals, higher-quality defensives, select reopening opportunities and commodities exposure.

  Consumer discretionary, industrials, technology and health care are the largest sector weights. Key industry positions include apparel & luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and equipment, internet retail, aerospace & defense, and construction.

  We believe the Fund's holdings within energy and materials are 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, consumer staples and traditional telecoms.

  In Europe, we own a blend of secular growth, defensives and select commodities. We continue to evaluate the outlook across Europe given the ongoing war in Ukraine and tighter monetary conditions, although we believe the region's economic links to China stand to benefit from its sustained reopening.

  We hold a range of holdings across emerging markets. Our positioning reflects our sanguine views on China's reopening, the US dollar and relative equity valuations. Specifically, we own positions within semiconductors, interactive media and higher-quality financials.

  In Japan, we favor a balance of exposures across secular growth, cyclicals and reopening beneficiaries that offer earnings growth catalysts and attractive business models.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

International stocks continue to reflect a set of complex crosscurrents. Therefore, we are analyzing many of these forces, including economic activity, evolving policy actions and the resilience of corporate earnings. Considering tighter global monetary policy and mixed inflation dynamics, the financial markets remain uncertain, and we expect volatility to continue until these risks resolve. Within this complicated backdrop, we continue to seek ways to capitalize on volatility, including opportunities at the thematic, regional and market-cap levels.

In terms of Fund positioning, we are emphasizing companies with relative earnings momentum, pricing power, free cash flow and attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in consumer discretionary, technology, industrials and health care 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 international 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 1.20%, 1.95%, and 0.95% 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 0.95% less the annual sub-transfer agency ratio for the Fund. The annual sub-transfer agency ratio is equal to the aggregate sub-transfer agency expenses common to the other share classes of the Fund divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes.

CALAMOS EVOLVING WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund returned 10.25% (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 16.53% return for the MSCI Emerging Market Index.

Since its inception on August 15, 2008, the Fund has returned 4.10% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 2.32% gain for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We believe this long-term outperformance demonstrates the Fund's ability to access emerging market opportunities and deliver leading returns by pursuing our risk-managed investment approach over complete market cycles.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Emerging market equities experienced seesaw-type returns over the semiannual period, reflecting multiple crosscurrents including China's reopening, a weaker dollar and considerable swings in investor risk appetite. Pursuant to our risk-managed objective, the Fund navigated markets by employing an active blend of economic cohorts and wide-ranging investments. The Fund's return trailed the index over the semiannual period because of top-down positioning and security selection. The Fund's holdings in emerging market companies with higher-quality growth characteristics were not rewarded in the short, near-term time frame but have been an essential aspect of the Fund's outperformance over longer-term periods.

Positive Influences on Performance

Utilities. The Fund's average underweight position in utilities helped buoy relative performance. In particular, a lack of representation in electric utilities and renewable electricity added value.

Materials. An average underweight allocation in materials, specifically in the construction materials and copper industries, contributed to performance.

Negative Influences on Performance

Industrials. Over the period, security selection and an average overweight stance within the industrials sector negatively affected performance. Holdings in electrical components & equipment lagged their index peers as did the Fund's names in aerospace & defense.

Energy. Security selection and an average overweight allocation in energy, specifically in the coal & consumable fuels and oil & gas equipment & services industries, lost ground relative to the index's energy representation.

Geographic Performance

The fund's average overweight allocation in Mexico and leading selection in the Philippines added value in the period. Select positions in developed markets with significant exposure to emerging markets relatively outperformed and added value to returns in the period.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
54


Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund (Unaudited)

Conversely, the portfolio's security selection and average underweight stance in Emerging Asia, specifically in China and South Korea, curbed relative returns. Moreover, security selection and an average overweight position in Emerging Latin America dampened relative results; specifically, the average overweight in Brazil hampered returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

We have a positive view of opportunities in emerging markets. Our positioning favors a blend of secular growth and cyclical companies in addition to reopening opportunities, select defensives and commodities exposure.

  From a sector perspective, the largest weights reside in consumer discretionary, technology, industrials, communication services and financials. We own holdings within key areas including semiconductors, internet retail, interactive media & services, apparel & luxury goods, and higher-quality banks.

  We have an underweight stance in utilities, real estate and traditional telecoms, reflecting our view of lesser opportunities in these areas.

  From a geographic perspective, we favor investments in China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

We see increased opportunities ahead for investors in emerging markets. We are analyzing multiple forces at play including evolving central bank policy, the path of the US dollar, corporate earnings and geopolitical factors. Considering tighter global monetary policy and mixed inflation dynamics, financial markets remain uncertain, and we expect volatility to persist until these risks resolve. Despite the complex backdrop, we continue to seek ways to capitalize on volatility, including a range of opportunities at the sector, thematic and market-cap levels.

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

CALAMOS GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Global Equity Fund returned 11.18% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 12.57% return for the MSCI World Index and a 12.97% return for the MSCI ACWI Index.

We believe the Fund's compelling medium and long-term performance record demonstrates the Fund's ability to generate excess returns over complete market cycles and varied investment environments. Since its inception on March 2, 2007, the Fund has returned 8.12% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.71% return for the MSCI World Index and a 6.28% return for the MSCI ACWI Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Global stocks experienced significant volatility and rotation but generated positive returns over the semiannual period. Investors navigated multiple environments characterized by tighter monetary policy and volatility in the banking sector, but also signs of moderating inflation and resilient corporate earnings.

The Fund's return lagged the index return over the semiannual period primarily because of sector positioning. Fund holdings in global companies with cyclical and secular growth characteristics trailed amid the narrow market leadership and defensive names that realized higher total returns.

Positive Influences on Performance

Health Care. The Fund benefitted from security selection and an average underweight allocation in health care, where the holdings in pharmaceuticals and the life sciences tools & services industries added to relative returns.

Financials. Favorable security selection and an average underweight allocation in financials added to the portfolio's return. Holdings in life & health insurance helped relative performance, and our lack of representation in regional banks supported relative returns.

Negative Influences on Performance

Industrials. Over the semiannual period, security selection within the industrials sector dampened relative results. Specifically, holdings in the industrial machinery & supplies & components and trading companies & distributors industries lost ground on a relative basis.

Energy. Security selection and an average overweight stance in energy, specifically in the oil & gas exploration & production and integrated oil & gas industries, lost ground on a relative basis.

Geographic Performance

The portfolio's favorable security selection and average overweight stance in Europe boosted relative returns. Specifically, our holdings in Denmark and Switzerland were sources of strength. Similarly, the portfolio benefitted from security selection and an average overweight stance in Emerging Latin America where holdings in Brazil and Mexico were key contributors.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
58


Calamos Global Equity Fund (Unaudited)

Conversely, security selection in the United States was a drag on performance. Similarly, security selection and an average underweight allocation in Japan held back results.

How is the Fund positioned?

We positioned the Fund with a combination of secular growth, cyclicals, reopening opportunities, select defensives and commodities exposure.

  Technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and health care represent the largest sector weights. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and equipment, software, construction & engineering, and apparel & luxury goods.

  We own a range of holdings in the energy sector where we hold companies we believe are positioned to benefit from supply-and-demand dynamics and attractive capital efficiency.

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

  From a geographic perspective, we own a diversified yet underweight position in the US. We see a range of attractive bottom-up opportunities across secular growth, cyclicals and select defensives that we believe offer earnings growth and advantaged business models.

  We have an overweight position in Europe where we maintain a blend of secular growth, defensives and select commodities exposure. We continue to evaluate the outlook across Europe given the ongoing war in Ukraine and tightening monetary conditions, although we believe the region's economic links to China stand to benefit from the reopening.

  We own a range of holdings in emerging markets. Our positioning reflects our sanguine view of China's sustained reopening, the US dollar and global monetary policy, and relative valuations. We own positions within key industries including semiconductors, interactive media and higher-quality financials.

  We have modest weight in Japan where we own companies that we believe offer attractive business models with exposure to secular growth, cyclicals and reopening dynamics in the broader region.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

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

In terms of Fund positioning, we are emphasizing companies with relative earnings momentum, pricing power, free cash flow and attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, health care and energy with leading 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.

As of the prospectus dated 3/1/23, the Fund's gross expense ratio for Class A shares is 1.61%, Class C shares is 2.37%, Class I shares is 1.36% and Class R6 shares 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 1.40%, 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. The annual sub-transfer agency ratio is equal to the aggregate sub-transfer agency expenses common to the other share classes of the Fund divided by the aggregate average annual net assets of the Fund's other share classes. For purposes of this expense limitation, 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 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 graphs do not reflect the income taxes that you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

CALAMOS GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Global Opportunities Fund returned 8.71% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 12.97% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 12.57% return for the MSCI World Index. The Fund's total return landed in the 54th percentile of the Morningstar Global Allocation category for the period.*

Since its inception on September 10, 1996, the Fund has returned 7.20% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.48% return for the MSCI ACWI Index and 6.70% return for the MSCI World Index. We manage the Fund with the goal of achieving the Fund's objective through upside equity participation and potential downside risk mitigation over full market cycles. We believe these results demonstrate the Fund's ability to generate attractive long-term returns while pursuing its risk-managed investment approach.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Global stocks experienced significant volatility and rotation but generated positive returns over the semiannual period. Investors navigated multiple environments characterized by tighter monetary policy and turmoil in the global banking sector, but also signs of moderating inflation and resilient corporate earnings.

In pursuit of our risk-managed equity objective, the Calamos Global Opportunities Fund navigated choppy markets by actively employing a blend of common stocks, convertibles and options. Although the Fund generated a high single-digit return over the semiannual period, it trailed the gain of the all-equity index. Our holdings in convertible securities provided diversification but lagged the gains of a select group of large caps (or relatively defensive companies that led the index). Over the extended multi-year market cycle that began in 2020, our wider universe of stocks and convertible securities have been instrumental in managing the risk-reward profile and delivering compelling total returns.

Positive Influences on Performance

Health Care. The Fund's return benefited from the health care sector where holdings in the pharmaceuticals and the life sciences tools & services industries helped drive relative results.

Financials. Security selection and an average underweight stance in financials added to the portfolio's performance. Our life & health insurance position was a leading contributor, and our lack of exposure to regional banks assisted relative returns.

OVERVIEW

The Fund invests primarily in global equity and convertible securities with an aim to balance risk/reward while providing growth and income.

KEY FEATURES

  Favors companies that source varied revenue streams and strive to generate high-quality growth fundamentals.

  Seeks to participate in the upside movements of the global equity market while lessening the impact of down periods.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can provide a long-term core allocation to global equities with the potential for lower volatility over full market cycles.

Negative Influences on Performance

Consumer Discretionary. Over the period, security selection within the consumer discretionary, specifically in the internet & direct marketing retail and automotive retail industries, lagged on a relative basis.

Industrials. Security selection in industrials, specifically in the aerospace & defense and trading companies & distributors industries, lagged on a relative basis.

Geographic Performance

The portfolio benefitted from an average overweight allocation in Europe. Holdings in Denmark and the Netherlands added significant value. Similarly, the portfolio benefitted from security selection and an average underweight stance in Emerging Latin America. Specifically, our lack of representation in Brazil contributed positively.

In contrast, security selection in the United States and Emerging Asia trailed the benchmark and negatively affected the portfolio's performance in the period. Similarly, security selection and an average overweight position in Emerging Asia underperformed. In particular, China and Australia were detrimental.

How is the Fund positioned?

We positioned the Fund with a combination of secular growth, cyclicals, higher-quality defensives, select reopening opportunities and commodities exposure.

  Technology, industrials, consumer discretionary and health care are the largest sector weights. Key industry positions include pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and equipment, software, construction & engineering, and apparel & luxury goods.

  We have an underweight position in the financials sector with diversified holdings across insurance and higher-quality banks.

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

  From a geographic perspective, we own a diversified and underweight position in the US. We see a range of attractive bottom-up opportunities across secular growth, cyclicals and select defensives that we believe should provide earnings growth and advantaged business models.

  We have an overweight position in Europe where we maintain a blend of secular growth, defensives and select commodities exposure. We continue to evaluate the outlook across Europe given the ongoing war in Ukraine and tightening monetary conditions, although we believe that the region's links to global demand benefit from the broader reopening.

  We own a range of holdings in emerging markets. Our positioning reflects our sanguine view of China's sustained reopening, the US dollar and global monetary policy, and relative valuations. We own positions within key industries including semiconductors, interactive media and higher-quality financials.

  We own multiple positions in Japan that we believe offer attractive business models with exposure to secular growth, cyclical and reopening dynamics in the broader region.

Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund   (Unaudited)

CALAMOS INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund returned 6.35% (Class I shares at net asset value) versus the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (Net) return of 16.59%.

We launched the Fund in March 2022. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in international small equities, utilizing the combined resources of our long-tenured investment team, global perspective and rigorous investment approach.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

International small caps experienced periods of significant volatility and rotation but ultimately generated strong returns over the semiannual period. Investors navigated multiple environments, characterized by tighter monetary policy and turmoil in the global banking sector, but also encouraging signs of moderating inflation and resilient corporate earnings.

The Fund advanced but underperformed versus the index over the semiannual period because of relative security selection. Our Fund holdings in foreign stocks with higher growth and timeliness characteristics were not rewarded by markets over the period.

Positive Influences on Performance

Real Estate. The Fund's average underweight stance in real estate helped buoy relative performance. Holdings in real estate operating companies helped relative performance, and our lack of exposure to diversified REITs assisted return.

Utilities. A lack of exposure to utilities also bolstered performance.

Negative Influences on Performance

Information Technology. Over the period, security selection within the information technology sector, notably holdings in the systems software and application software industries, lost ground on a relative basis.

Materials. Security selection and an average underweight allocation within the diversified metals & mining and commodity chemicals industries of the materials sector held back results.

Geographic Performance

Security selection and an average underweight stance in EMEA added value to the portfolio's performance. Our positioning in Greece contributed to returns, and our lack of representation in Israel assisted relative results.

Conversely, the portfolio's security selection in Emerging Asia curbed relative returns. Our holdings in China and South Korea trailed the index, whereas positions in Indonesia and the Philippines outperformed.

OVERVIEW

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in compelling international small-capitalization companies with superior earnings growth potential coupled with financial strength and flexibility.

KEY FEATURES

  Provides access to an expansive opportunity set of small cap investments outside the United States, including businesses in emerging and frontier markets.

  Our long-tenured Investment team has experience managing portfolios across multiple market cycles.

PORTFOLIO FIT

The Fund can provide an attractive asset-allocation building block often under-represented in US investors' portfolios. By diversifying into this less correlated asset class, investors may be able to offset declines in the overall market and reduce their portfolio's volatility with the potential for significant equity upside.

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?

From a sector standpoint, industrials and information technology represent the largest weights on an absolute basis, whereas communication services and real estate comprise the smallest sector weights with holdings. The portfolio had no exposure to the utilities sector. The Fund has overweight allocations in the application software and industrial machinery & supplies & components industries. Significant industry underweight positions fall within semiconductor materials & equipment and diversified banks.

Allocations to information technology and consumer discretionary rose during the period with increased weights in application software and casinos & gaming. By contrast, allocations to financials and health care decreased over the period with reductions to diversified banks and pharmaceuticals.

From a regional standpoint, the portfolio's largest weights are found within Europe and Emerging Asia, whereas the smallest absolute weights reside in EMEA and Latin America. Compared with the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (Net), the portfolio is overweight in Europe. On the flipside, the portfolio holds underweight allocations in Emerging Asia and Japan. Positions in Europe increased for the period, notably in Italy and Switzerland. In contrast, the allocation to Canada decreased.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

International stocks continue to reflect a set of complex crosscurrents. We are analyzing many of these forces including economic activity, evolving policy actions and the resilience of corporate earnings. In the context of tighter global monetary policy and a mixed economic backdrop, the financial markets remain uncertain, and we expect volatility to continue until these risks resolve. Within this complicated backdrop, we continue to seek ways to capitalize on volatility, including a range of opportunities at the sector, thematic and regional levels.

In terms of Fund positioning, we are emphasizing companies with compelling earnings momentum and relatively attractive valuations. From a sector perspective, we see opportunities in technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and health care with compelling fundamentals. We believe that our active investment approach and global perspective position us to take advantage of the volatility and opportunities in international small-cap equities.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund (Unaudited)

OVERVIEW

Through its multi-sector fixed-income strategy, the Fund invests predominantly in US issuers with the goal of generating a high level of both current income and total return in excess of the benchmark 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.

CALAMOS TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Total Return Bond Fund returned 6.58% (Class I shares at net asset value) in line with the 6.91% return of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

Since its inception on June 27, 2007, the Fund gained 3.19% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 3.12% return for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Macroeconomic data and central bank policy responses dominated headlines and the market's attention during 2022. Looking to the first quarter of 2023 and beyond, the focus has shifted. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the take-under of Credit Suisse in March left the markets fixated on systemic risks to the banking sector and the implications for the broader economy. Despite First Republic's failure in late April, which happened in relatively slow motion, the market appears satisfied that no systemic issue exists. This is in large part because of the active steps regulators took to shore up liquidity facilities and alleviate immediate stress.

Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." All three bank failures this year have occurred over weekends, reminiscent of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. But central bank responses left little doubt that they view these recent events through a different lens. Both the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve (Fed) followed up March's failures with rate hikes, a sequence that would have been impossible to imagine in 2008. Both LaGarde and Powell indicated that they would continue to use policy rates to address inflation concerns and apply supplementary tools to address stresses in the banking system. The Fed's opening of the Bank-Term Funding Program exemplifies such a tool. By lending on security par value as opposed to market value, the Fed is using its program to provide banks with unrealized losses on their balance sheets, providing some wiggle room in an effort to avoid the fate of Silicon Valley Bank.

Inflation remains stubbornly high. Although some are correct to highlight that headline measures are down 30% – 35% across geographies, domestic core measures are only 10% – 15% off peak levels and remain double the targeted rate of inflation. We believe that the encouraging downward trend in inflation data from the painfully high 2022 base levels will roll off in September, at which point further reductions in the year-over-year data will become more challenged and less pronounced. The persistent labor shortage is another issue the Fed will continue to wrestle with. Job openings are well off the all-time highs recorded last year, but with 1.6 job openings for each active job seeker, the labor equation is still imbalanced. Despite recent events, we expect overnight rates to remain higher for longer.

Risk markets held up quite well despite challenging developments. The S&P 500 Index was up 7.5% during the semiannual period, and the high-yield market returned 6.2%, based on the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, driven by robust income and lower Treasury rates across intermediate maturities. Early earnings reports for the first calendar quarter of 2023 have generally been better than feared, supporting risk markets. Although banks as well as several office and retail REIT bonds experienced losses for the quarter, all sectors except for communications delivered positive returns during the reporting period. Below-investment-grade credit spreads have seen greater volatility but ended the semiannual period within 10 basis points of their starting point. The Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index closed the semiannual period with option-adjusted spreads at 452 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries and a yield of 8.48%. The investment-grade universe was somewhat more stable, trading in a roughly 40 basis points range and closing the period tighter by 22 basis points at 136 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries.

The Treasury yield curve twisted in dramatic fashion, representing the conflict between the Fed's raising rates and tightening monetary policy versus the market anticipating a recession and the need for rate cuts before year-end 2023. Short-maturity three- and six-month bills rose by 114 and 42 basis points, respectively, tracking policy moves in the short term. All Treasury notes with maturities of two years and longer moved to lower yields as market pricing reflects the continuing normalization of inflation and the possibility of a recession. The Treasury rally, healthy starting income levels and stable spreads combined to deliver strong positive returns during the reporting period, with the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returning 6.9%. The corporate sector component of the index led sector with a 9.2% return, the government-related and securitized products sectors each returned 6.7%, whereas Treasuries trailed the other sectors returning 5.8%.

The Fund held an overweight allocation in corporate debt over the annual review period. Although the overweight positions in the financial and industrial sectors' corporate debt added to performance, security selection among those same issuers more than offset the allocation lift and detracted from performance. The bookmark asset-backed-securities overweight also weighed on returns, whereas the Fund's Treasury underweight was supportive. The team materially decreased the corporate bond allocation during the reporting period while adding to both

mortgage-backed securities and Treasury positions. Over a full market cycle, we continue to favor an overweight in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities in the portfolio because the additional yield has shown historically to generate superior long-term returns.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund has a duration of 6.2 years, short of the 6.3 years 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. This overweight gave the Fund a lower overall credit quality of A- when compared to the AA- quality of the benchmark. The move lower in Treasury rates coupled with modest spread moves in risk assets led to positive returns during the reporting period, although the Fund modestly trailed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund continues to hold overweight positions in corporate and asset-backed securities and underweight positions in Treasuries and mortgages activity. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations are found in the transportation and consumer non-cyclical sectors.

Positioning Implications

In this environment, we believe the market's pricing of multiple cuts in 2023 is too aggressive. However, we believe the market is looking through short-term developments in interest rates to eventual cuts that are more likely to occur in 2024, in our opinion. As such, we are shifting portfolio durations longer because the market has settled into lower-rate ranges, which are out of sync with our higher-for-longer policy rate view.

Although we do not view a 2023 recession as inevitable, our view of macroeconomic activity should not be confused with complacency. We agree with the market that the next move for fundamentals is in a weaker direction and that the time to prepare for that environment is underway. We are actively reducing exposure to credits we view as exposed to a downturn in cyclical activity, those with weak contingent liquidity, or those vulnerable to a rapid deterioration of asset value. We are maintaining allocations to select high-yield issuers that we believe are compensating us well for the risks taken as we follow our disciplined research process to identify value.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

It feels as though a year's worth of events is getting packed into each quarter. With pandemic-era protocols being rolled back, coordinated tightening of global monetary policy, stress in the banking system, and continued inflation, there are many issues at play. We expect elevated uncertainty and high volatility to persist as the market digests the impact of tighter policy and financial conditions. Market liquidity remains adequate, but execution costs have increased across asset classes because of significantly higher volatility.

Bank turmoil has the market on high alert, but we expect that the steps regulators have taken to calm the market (reassurance from the US Treasury Department, the Bank Term Funding Program, the possibility of further deposit guarantees) will allow for a continuation of tight monetary policy for the balance of the calendar year.

Calamos Total Return Bond Fund (Unaudited)

One area of growing concern is the potential for lending activity to slow, given the newly uncovered stressors on bank balance sheets. Lending standards were tightening even before this year's bank headlines. A further tightening of lending standards will result in lower access to credit, reducing the availability and increasing the cost of capital for expansion and incubation of new businesses, which in turn could affect labor demand. Additional regulations out of Washington could further exacerbate the issue.

Market expectations change quickly, but change itself can take longer to filter through. Investors should remember that in February the market was questioning whether the Fed would need to accelerate its rate-hiking campaign (because employment conditions were tight and inflation reaccelerated in January). It takes time for changes in lending standards to affect the economy, and the economic momentum we have seen so far underscores this reality. We do not see a 2023 recession as inevitable.

We believe the Fed is nearing completion of its policy-tightening campaign. The possible risks to growth associated with further shocks to the financial system are now balanced with inflation pressure and concerns about labor market tightness. An additional quarter-point hike is possible this year, but we expect the Fed has completed the bulk of its work and will now pause to see how data develop from here.

Although the credit market remains fundamentally strong with modest leverage and solid interest coverage, measures of revenue and earnings from high-yield companies are beginning to roll over. Through the Covid-19 era, management teams wisely locked in fixed-rate funding at historically cheap levels, and refinancing needs are modest until 2025. Although default rates remain below long-term averages, they are increasing from the unsustainable pandemic-era lows, and we expect them to migrate to above 3% by year-end.

CALAMOS HIGH INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos High Income Opportunities Fund returned 5.07% (Class I shares at net asset value) compared with a 6.21% return for the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

Since its inception on August 2, 1999, the Fund gained 5.64% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 7.10% annualized return for the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

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.

Risk markets held up quite well despite challenging developments. The S&P 500 Index was up 7.5% during the semiannual period, and the high-yield market returned 6.2%, based on the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, driven by robust income and lower Treasury rates across intermediate maturities. Early earnings reports for the first calendar quarter of 2023 have generally been better than feared, supporting risk markets. Although banks as well as several office and retail REIT bonds experienced losses for the quarter, all sectors except for communications delivered positive returns during the reporting period. Corporate credit spreads have seen greater volatility but ended the semiannual period within 10 basis points of where they began. The Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index closed the semiannual period with option-adjusted spreads at 452 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries, and with a yield of 8.48%.

Performance across credit quality during the reporting period was remarkably consistent. CCC-rated issuers led the way returning 6.4%, followed by BB-rated credits returning 6.3%, and B-rated paper returning 6.2%. At the beginning of the semiannual period, the trailing 12-month default rate was 1.6%, having increased from the all-time lows experienced during the pandemic. At the end of the reporting period, default rates had increased to 2.2%, still well below the long-term average of 3%. Regarding our credit-quality positioning, an overweight position to out-of-benchmark BBB-rated bonds boosted performance, whereas security selection among our B-rated holdings was a detractor.

From a sector perspective, security selection within the energy and technology sectors contributed to returns. Conversely, the team's selection within both consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors weighed on performance.

How is the Fund positioned?

The Fund is currently overweight the airlines, property and casualty insurance, and retail industries. The airlines overweight is related to favorable consumer spending trends that continue despite weakening macroeconomic conditions. The property and casualty insurance overweight is based on strong cash flow metrics and consolidation in the industry. Our largest underweights are in the consumer cyclical services, electric utilities and automotive industries. The consumer cyclical services industry underweight is largely the result of relative value decisions in favor of higher-income opportunities in other industries.

From a credit-quality perspective, the Fund is positioned with a relative underweight in all below-investment-grade rating categories with a corresponding out-of-benchmark allocation to BBB-rated debt. The Fund is positioned short (3.1 years) in comparison with the option-adjusted duration of the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (3.6 years).

Over the semiannual period, the team has added to positions in the capital goods sector. Also, we reduced the portfolio exposure to the consumer non-cyclical sector. The increase in capital goods represents newly established positions in packaging and building materials. A reduction in pharmaceuticals was the primary driver of the decline in the consumer non-cyclical exposure.

Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund (Unaudited)

OVERVIEW

Through its multi-sector fixed-income strategy, the fund invests predominantly in US issuers with the goal of generating a high level of current income and total return in excess of the benchmark 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 a broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include high-yield bonds, bank loans and preferreds 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 reflective of where a company is heading.

  Applies a macro overlay to capitalize on 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 may be suitable for investors seeking current income accompanied by lower volatility over a one-year to two-year time horizon.

INVESTMENT TEAM DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed?

For the six months ended April 30, 2023 ("semiannual period"), Calamos Short-Term Bond Fund returned 3.58% (Class I shares at net asset value), outperforming the 2.89% return of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

Since its inception on September 19, 2018, the Fund gained 1.81% on an annualized basis (Class I shares at net asset value) versus a 1.32% return for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.

What factors influenced performance during the reporting period?

Macroeconomic data and central bank policy responses dominated headlines and the market's attention during 2022. Looking to the first quarter of 2023 and beyond, the focus has shifted. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the take-under of Credit Suisse in March left the markets fixated on systemic risks to the banking sector and the implications for the broader economy. Despite First Republic's failure in late April, which happened in relatively slow motion, the market appears satisfied that no systemic issue exists. This is in large part because of the active steps regulators took to shore up liquidity facilities and alleviate immediate stress.

Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." All three bank failures this year have occurred over weekends, reminiscent of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. But central bank responses left little doubt that they view these recent events through a different lens. Both the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve (Fed) followed up March's failures with rate hikes, a sequence that would have been impossible to imagine in 2008. Both LaGarde and Powell indicated that they would continue to use policy rates to address inflation concerns and apply supplementary tools to address stresses in the banking system. The opening of the Bank-Term Funding Program by the Fed exemplifies such a tool. By lending on security par value as opposed to market value, the Fed is using its program to provide banks with unrealized losses on their balance sheets, providing some wiggle room in an effort to avoid the fate of Silicon Valley Bank.

Inflation remains stubbornly high. Although some are correct to highlight that headline measures are down 30% – 35% across geographies, domestic core measures are only 10% – 15% off peak levels and remain double the targeted rate of inflation. We believe that the encouraging downward trend in inflation data from the painfully high 2022 base levels will roll off in September, at which point further reductions in the year-over-year data will become more challenged and less pronounced. The persistent labor shortage is another issue the Fed will continue to wrestle with. Job openings are well off the all-time highs recorded last year, but with 1.6 job openings for each active job seeker, the labor equation is still imbalanced. Despite recent events, we expect overnight rates to remain higher for longer.

Risk markets held up quite well despite challenging developments. The S&P 500 Index was up 7.5% during the semiannual period, and the high-yield market returned 6.2%, based on the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, driven by robust income and lower Treasury rates across intermediate maturities. Early earnings reports for the first calendar quarter of 2023 have generally been better than feared, supporting risk markets. Although banks as well as several office and retail REIT bonds experienced losses for the quarter, all sectors with the exception of communications delivered positive returns during the reporting period. Below-investment-grade credit spreads have seen greater volatility but ended the semiannual period within 10 basis points of their starting point. The Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index closed the semiannual period with option-adjusted spreads at 452 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries and a yield of 8.48%. The short-duration, investment-grade universe was also volatile, trading in a roughly 70 basis points range and closing the period tighter by 9 basis points at 92 basis points over like-maturity Treasuries.

The Treasury yield curve twisted in dramatic fashion, representing the conflict between the Fed's raising rates and tightening monetary policy versus the market anticipating a recession and the need for rate cuts to materialize before year-end 2023. Short-maturity three- and six-month bills rose by 114 and 42 basis points respectively, tracking policy moves in the short term. All Treasury notes with maturities of two years and longer moved to lower yields as market pricing reflects the continuing normalization of inflation and the possibility of a recession.

The corporate component of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index led with a 3.4% return. Government-related securities returned 2.9%, while Treasuries trailed at 2.7%. The Fund held an overweight in corporate debt over the semiannual period. As a result of the higher returns among corporate bonds that allocation supported performance as did security selection among non-financial issuers. In contrast, security selection among financial companies detracted from performance. Over the long term, we continue to favor an overweight in corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and taxable municipal bonds in the Fund because 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 1.9 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 ratings categories. This overweight gave the Fund a lower overall credit quality of A when compared with the AA quality of the benchmark. The rotation of Treasury yields in short-dated maturities coupled with the tightening of credit spreads in risk assets led to a positive Fund return during the reporting period, slightly ahead of its benchmark. The Fund remains overweight corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, although the weighting of corporate bonds was decreased over the reporting period in favor of increasing the Fund's allocation to asset-backed securities. The term loan positions are floating rate 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. Within the corporate bond allocation, our largest overweight allocations are found in the consumer non-cyclical and consumer cyclical sectors.

Positioning Implications

In this environment, we believe the market's pricing of multiple cuts in 2023 is too aggressive. However, we believe the market is looking through short-term developments in interest rates to eventual cuts that are more likely to occur in 2024, in our opinion. As such, we are shifting portfolio durations longer because the market has settled into lower rate ranges despite our higher for longer policy rate view.

Although we do not view a 2023 recession as inevitable, our view of macroeconomic activity should not be confused with complacency. We agree with the market that the next move for fundamentals is in a weaker direction and that the time to prepare for that environment is underway. We are actively reducing exposure to credits we evaluate to be exposed to a downturn in cyclical activity, and those with weak contingent liquidity or exposure to rapid deterioration of asset value. We are maintaining allocations to select high-yield issuers when we believe we are being well compensated for the risks taken as we follow our disciplined research process to identify value.

What are your closing thoughts for Fund shareholders?

It feels as though a year's worth of events is getting packed into each quarter. With pandemic-era protocols being rolled back, coordinated tightening of global monetary policy, stress in the banking system, and continued inflation, there are many issues at play. We expect elevated uncertainty and high volatility to persist as the market digests the impact of tighter policy and financial conditions. Market liquidity remains adequate, but execution costs have increased across asset classes because of significantly higher volatility.

Bank turmoil has the market on high alert, but we expect that the steps regulators have taken to calm the market (e.g., reassurance from the US Treasury Department, the Bank Term Funding Program, and the possibility of further deposit guarantees) will allow for a continuation of tight monetary policy for the balance of the calendar year.

One area of growing concern is the potential for lending activity to slow, given the newly uncovered stressors on bank balance sheets. Lending standards were tightening even before this year's bank headlines. A further tightening of lending standards will result in lower access to credit, reducing the availability and increasing the cost of capital for expansion and incubation of new businesses, which in turn could affect labor demand. Additional regulations out of Washington could further exacerbate the issue.

Market expectations change quickly, but change itself can take longer to filter through. Investors should remember that in February the market was questioning whether the Fed would need to accelerate its rate-hiking campaign (because employment conditions were tight, and inflation reaccelerated in January). It takes time for changes in lending standards to affect the economy, and the economic momentum we have seen so far underscores this reality. We do not see a 2023 recession as inevitable.

We believe the Fed is nearing completion of its policy-tightening campaign. The possible risks to growth associated with further shocks to the financial system are now balanced with inflation pressure and concerns about labor market tightness. An additional quarter-point hike is possible this year, but we expect the Fed has completed the bulk of its work and will now pause to see how data develops from here.

Although the credit market remains fundamentally strong with modest leverage and solid interest coverage, measures of revenue and earnings from high-yield companies are beginning to roll over. Through the Covid-19 era, management teams wisely locked in fixed-rate funding at historically cheap levels, and refinancing needs are modest until 2025. Although default rates remain below long-term averages, they are increasing from the unsustainable pandemic-era lows, and we expect them to migrate to above 3% by year-end.

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 November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023. 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 November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023, 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 November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023, 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.

CALAMOS OPEN-END FAMILY OF FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
194


Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization. CALAMOS INVESTMENT TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust organized December 21, 1987 (the "Trust"), consists of nineteen 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, 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. Each 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, and International Small Cap Growth 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 Accounting Standards Update 2013-08—Financial Services-Investment Companies (Topic 946): Disclosures about Investments in Other Investment Companies ("ASU 2013-08"). 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 Funds:

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 Advisor", or the "Advisor") 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

www.calamos.com

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

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 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 Advisor's 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 a 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 the 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 a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate a Fund's net asset value ("NAV").

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of April 30, 2023. 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, Calamos Long/Short Equity and Dynamic Income Trust, Calamos Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust, and Calamos ETF 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

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting 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 2019 – 2022 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, 2019.

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

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Calamos Advisors, each Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, as shown below:

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 April 30, 2023, the total advisory fees waived pursuant to such agreement were $489,246 for the Market Neutral Income Fund and are included in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Expense reductions".

As of April 30, 2023, the Market Neutral Income Fund held 88.4% 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.

At April 30, 2023, the Funds had deferred compensation balances, which are included in "Other assets" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as follows:

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, International Small Cap Fund was 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 Calamos Advisors 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 April 30, 2023, 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 Calamos Advisors as its valuation designee to perform fair value determinations and approved new Advisor Valuation Procedures for the Trust.

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 a 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 a 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, a 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, a 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, a 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 a 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, a 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 a Fund and the counterparty and the amount of collateral due from a 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, a Fund's custodian holds the collateral in a segregated account, subject to the terms of a tri-party agreement among a 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 a 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 a 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. A 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

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

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.

As of April 30, 2023, 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 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 a Fund's portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.

When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a 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, a 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 April 30, 2023, the Funds had outstanding purchased options and/or written options as listed on the Schedules of Investments.

As of April 30, 2023, the Funds had outstanding derivative contracts which are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements   (Unaudited)

Note 7 – Securities Lending

The Funds may loan one or more of their securities to broker-dealers and banks through the Securities Loan Agreements. In Securities Loan Agreements, the "collateral" are the loaned securities themselves. Additionally, the set-off and netting provisions of a Securities Loan Agreement may not extend to the obligations of the counterparty's affiliates or across varying types of transactions.. 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 any cash collateral into short term investments 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 April 30, 2023.

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.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 of Frontier Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 27, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Funds' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

June 20, 2023

Chicago, Illinois

We have served as the auditor of one or more Calamos investment companies since 2003.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Calamos Investment Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of each series (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), has established a liquidity risk management program to govern each Fund's approach to managing liquidity risk (the "Program"). The Program is overseen by the Liquidity Committee, a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust's investment adviser, Calamos Advisors LLC. The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved the designation of the Liquidity Committee to oversee the Program.

The Program's principal objectives include supporting the Funds' compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that each Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence each Fund's liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of each Fund's investments into groupings that reflect the Liquidity Committee's assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.

At a meeting of the Board held on December 16, 2022, the Trustees received an annual report from the Liquidity Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program. The Liquidity Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund's liquidity risk. The Liquidity Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. Among other things, the Board noted that the Funds are not required to have a highly liquid investment minimum based on their liquidity classifications. The Board further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for more information regarding the Funds' exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.
