"While we manage our CEFs to provide a steady income stream, return of capital may occur from time to time. However, in spite of volatile markets, I'm pleased to report that the Fund has not sourced return of capital on either an actual or estimated basis for its monthly distributions since inception in November 2019 through June 2021."
Additional information regarding the estimated amount of the sources of the Fund's monthly distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and the related rules adopted thereunder, will be provided in a separate release closer to the Fund's payable date.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's plan. If the Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099 DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
An innovator in dynamically allocated closed end funds since 2002, Calamos Investments currently manages approximately $9.7 billion as of 5/31/21 in seven closed end funds. Additional information about the fund can be found on www.calamos.com.
