Convertible bonds offer built-in flexibility, combining bond income with equity upside and historically delivering asymmetric returns—participating in rallies while helping cushion drawdowns. Actively managed, levered convertible CEFs offer a high-income way to participate in this market, with Calamos demonstrating a strong track record of navigating convertibles and delivering competitive returns. Among the US-focused Calamos funds (CCD, CHY, & CHI), CCD provides the highest (~85%) convertible exposure and equity optionality, while CHY and CHI offer more credit-tilted.

Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund (CHI) maintains a hold rating due to reliance on net realized gains for distributions and NAV growth. CHI offers a 10.1% yield, attractive price-to-NAV valuation, and monthly payouts, appealing to income-focused investors seeking stability. The fund's aggressive leverage and dependence on positive market conditions heighten downside risk during market declines.
