METRO CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments®* has announced monthly distributions and sources of distributions paid in October 2026 to shareholders of its seven closed-end funds (the Funds) pursuant to the Funds' respective distribution plans.

Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund is a $5.2B CEF focused on equities, convertibles, and high-yield credit, employing significant leverage. CSQ has delivered strong historical NAV returns and supports its sizable 7.8% dividend primarily through capital appreciation rather than income. Despite robust performance, I rate CSQ a Hold due to its current 7.8% discount not offering a sufficient margin of safety given 30% leverage and high fees.

Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund is rated Buy, leveraging diversified equities and fixed income with a strong tilt toward information technology and financials. CSQ's overweight in AI-driven mega-cap tech and financials positions the fund for outperformance amid a risk-on market and ongoing AI capital investment cycles. Convertible bonds and preferred stock holdings add income durability, while 30% leverage aims to amplify returns despite macroeconomic volatility.

METRO CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments®* has announced monthly distributions and sources of distributions paid in August 2026 to shareholders of its seven closed-end funds (the Funds) pursuant to the Funds' respective distribution plans.

Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund remains a buy, trading at a 9.13% discount to NAV and offering a 7.8% dividend yield. CSQ's portfolio blends large-cap tech equities and income securities, but relies heavily on net realized gains to support distributions. Leverage at 27.78% and interest rate sensitivity present risks, especially if rates rise or tech sentiment shifts negatively.
