Performance Insights
The firm reaffirmed that past performance does not guarantee future results. The net asset value (NAV) of these funds is dynamic and fluctuates because of market conditions. This fluctuation can affect the overall investment value that shareholders will realize upon the sale of shares.
Moreover, Calamos highlighted the importance of the automatic dividend reinvestment plan offered to shareholders. This plan allows individuals to reinvest their dividends to purchase more shares without incurring any additional costs, particularly benefiting those staring at market premiums or discounts.
