Financial journalist opinion

CPZ: Discount Narrowing Drives Strong Results, But Now Takes Away Its Appeal

Calamos L/S Equity & Dynamic Income Trust blends equity and fixed-income investments with a unique long/short strategy, offering potential hedging. CPZ has outperformed the S&P 500 recently, but aided by a significant narrowing of its discount, now the fund trades at a less attractive mid-single-digit discount. The fund maintains a steady distribution rate, coming in at an attractive ~10%, but relies heavily on short-term capital gains, making it less tax-friendly for taxable accounts.

CPZ: 4 Reasons Why I Would Avoid This CEF

Calamos Long/ Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust is a complex and high fee fund which offers investors exposure to equities, preferred stock, and fixed income. CPZ has delivered weak risk-adjusted performance, underperforming both the S&P 500 and peer long/short funds while exhibiting higher volatility. The fund is tax-inefficient which makes it less attractive for taxable investors compared to other products.
