Nick Calamos, co-CIO and portfolio manager since the fund’s 1985 inception, was replaced by former Janus CEO Gary Black in August 2012. While this represented a significant loss, the firm has built a deep and experienced team that has been able to shoulder the change with minimal impact to shareholders. Firm founder John Calamos Sr. remains as a manager of the fund and continues to lead the firm’s investment committee, which provides guidance from the top down. The firm’s co-heads of research, Jeff Scudieri and Jon Vacko, remain on board, as do many of the portfolio managers who handle the daily nuts and bolts of running the fund. Over the last year, Calamos has also added more than a dozen members to its team. Many brought years of experience as analysts, traders, or portfolio managers. Black has made some modest adjustments to the fund’s process. For starters, he was instrumental formalizing the investment committee to provide

top-down guidance to managers and analysts. And while the team continues to take a generally cautious and research-intensive approach with a preference for investment-grade convertibles, it has added more lower-rated securities recently. As of Dec. 31, 2012, roughly a third of the fund’s bond allocation was below investment-grade, and as of June 30, 2013, 42% of the fund’s bonds were rated junk. The average fund in the convertible category holds roughly a third in junk bonds, but generally has a higher exposure to the lower-quality end of the junk-bond spectrum. While the fund has provided decent protection on the downside, its recent move to a more aggressive stance may put this strong selling point in jeopardy. Despite re-opening to investors in September after three years of closure, cheaper and better-performing options are available to investors. For this reason, the fund’s Morningstar Analyst Rating has been lowered to Neutral from Bronze.
