CGO: International Exposure A Plus, But Tech Exposure Weighs On Performance
The Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a 9.23% yield, higher than major equity and bond indices, making it attractive for income investors. Despite its high yield, the fund underperforms its peers and major indices, partly due to its significant U.S. tech exposure and leverage. The fund's allocation to global assets and convertible securities aims to balance income and volatility, but recent performance has been disappointing.

CGO: U.S. Dollar And Economic Strength Could Drag On Foreign Stocks
The Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a high yield of 8.47% but has not managed to deliver the strong performance as its domestic-only version. Despite its lower yield compared to peers, the fund's recent performance shows potential, though its international diversification may be a near-term headwind due to a strong U.S. dollar. The fund employs significant leverage (35.27%) to boost returns, but this also increases risk and volatility, making it less appealing for risk-averse investors.

CGO: Revisiting This Fund Following The Election
The Calamos Global Total Return Fund yields 8.23% but has underperformed the MSCI World Index, making it less appealing for core portfolio positions. The fund's recent performance has been disappointing, with a 1.17% share price increase, underperforming both the S&P 500 and MSCI World Index. The United States may be poised to outperform foreign markets over the next year or two, yet this fund appears to be decreasing its U.S. exposure.
