Calamos Investments Sets September Distributions for Closed-End Funds

The distributions cover a diverse portfolio of funds, including the Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund (CCD) at $0.195 per share and the Strategic Total Return Fund (CSQ) at $0.135. Other funds, such as the Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund (CHI) and the Long/Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust (CPZ), are set for payouts of $0.095 and $0.140, respectively. These disbursements align with the firm's established distribution plans, with ex-dividend dates also falling on September 14.

Management emphasized that these figures represent estimates of distribution sources based on year-to-date performance and are not intended for final tax reporting. Shareholders will receive formal 1099-DIV forms at year-end detailing the specific tax treatment of these payments. The firm further noted that distribution sources—whether derived from net investment income, realized capital gains, or return of capital—do not serve as direct indicators of a fund's overall investment performance. Investors are encouraged to review the dividend reinvestment plan, which allows for the accumulation of additional shares at either market price or net asset value, depending on current trading premiums or discounts.
