“We are pleased by the success of the Calamos Global Equity Fund, which we feel offers investors a way to participate in several important global investment themes, including the growth of middle class consumption around the world and the increasing demand for technology by both businesses and individuals,” said John P. Calamos, Sr., CEO and co-chief investment officer.
