METRO CHICAGO, Ill., April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments LLC, a
global investment manager, today announced the hire of senior and
accomplished sales professional Thomas
Kiley, III. In this newly formed position, Kiley will lead
strategy and business development for the firm's registered
investment advisor distribution channel and will oversee a team of
dedicated RIA sales professionals. Kiley joins from BlackRock,
where he worked for nearly two decades and most recently led sales
for the firm's East Coast RIA segment.
"RIAs represent the fastest growing segment of today's wealth
market and a key strategic growth area for Calamos," said
John Koudounis, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Tom's in-depth knowledge of the RIA marketplace
will be invaluable to the firm—not only in presenting our
investment capabilities but also in helping reimagine our approach
to delivering value to this important advisor segment."
Calamos is a leading alternative investment manager and over the
last 18+ months has expanded its breadth of capabilities and
products to meet the sophisticated and complex needs of the RIA
community. This includes the Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit
& Income Fund and several ETFs solutions. Over
roughly that same period, Calamos recruited five new RIA and ETF
dedicated sales professionals in an effort to increase its delivery
across the country.
"With the addition of a respected, seasoned RIA distribution
leader like Tom aboard, we can advance and execute our strategic
growth plans and implement an enhanced service model that seeks to
best serve the growing and highly specialized advisor market," said
Robert Behan, CFA, EVP and Chief
Distribution Officer.

An investment in the Fund(s) is subject to risks, and you could
lose money on your investment in the Fund(s). There can be no
assurance that the Fund(s) will achieve its investment objective.
Your investment in the Fund(s) is not a deposit in a bank and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The risks
associated with an investment in the Fund(s) can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The Fund(s) also has
specific principal risks, which are described below. More detailed
information regarding these risks can be found in the Fund's

Interval Fund. The Fund is designed primarily for
long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. The Fund is an
"interval fund" pursuant to which it, subject to applicable law,
will conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of
the Fund's outstanding shares at net asset value (NAV). Under
normal market conditions, the Fund currently intends to offer to
repurchase 5% of its outstanding shares at NAV on a quarterly
basis. In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is
possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the
result that Fund shareholders ("Shareholders") may only be able to
have a portion of their shares repurchased. Even though the Fund
will make quarterly repurchase offers to repurchase a portion of
the shares to try to provide liquidity to Shareholders, you should
consider the shares to have limited liquidity.
