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

Calamos Long/Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust offers a complex, actively managed blend of long/short equity and fixed-income strategies, targeting risk-averse investors. CPZ trades at an 11.7% discount to NAV, but persistent NAV erosion, inconsistent dividend coverage, and underperformance versus SPY undermine its appeal. The fund's aggressive leverage (51.3% of assets) and high-yield focus (12.5% yield) elevate risk, especially amid elevated interest rates and below-investment-grade credit exposure.

METRO CHICAGO, Ill., March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments®* has announced monthly distributions and sources of distributions paid in 2026 to shareholders of its seven closed-end funds (the Funds) pursuant to the Funds' respective distribution plans.

The Calamos Long/Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust offers an 11.49% yield, utilizing both long and short positions to generate high income. CPZ's distribution is fully covered by investment profits, but its long-term total return underperforms broad equity indices and select peer funds. The fund's short positions, especially in semiconductors and Tesla, may cushion downside in market corrections but can drag on performance in bullish markets.

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.
