CGO: Stretched Valuations Make This Fund A Hold (Rating Downgrade)

The Calamos Global Total Return CEF has rallied +33% since our 'Buy' rating, driven by a risk-on environment and lower yield curve. The fund's discount to NAV has narrowed significantly, now trading at fair value, making it less attractive for new entries. High allocations to semiconductor equities, which have seen stellar performance, now face stretched valuations, increasing risk for new investors.

CGO: This Excellent CEF Is Taking Advantage Of Foreign Opportunities

The Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a high level of income and inflation protection through a diversified portfolio of equities and convertible bonds. The fund's 8.34% yield and potential for share price appreciation make it attractive, despite a lower yield compared to peers. The fund appears to have been able to take advantage of recent strength in TSM, which it would not have been able to do without the foreign exposure.

Good To Go On CGO

This is a market in which the winners not only keep winning, but they continue to lap the broader market over and over again. And though everyone has been calling for a broadening out of stocks, that's not happening. So until the narrative changes, stick with what's working. And in CEFs, what's working are the Calamos leveraged equity and fixed-income funds. And none have been better than the Calamos Global Total Return Fund.

CGO: Good International Exposure And Very Strong Excess Returns

Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a high yield of 8.98%, comparable to other high-yielding equity funds in the market. The CGO closed-end fund invests primarily in equities as opposed to fixed-income, which should allow it to provide a bit of inflation protection. The fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index over the past two months, which might be partly due to the high level of leverage employed.

Building A 10% Income Portfolio Today

Six years ago, I wrote my first article on investing, in which I outlined the criteria that had guided me when constructing my first income portfolio. I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.
