"Calamos CCD capitalizes on the Fed's monetary easing cycle and robust convertible bond issuance, delivering double-digit NAV returns in Q3 and maintaining a competitive 11.12% annualized distribution rate supported by leverage and active tech-sector positioning."
Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund (CCD) delivered strong performance in Q3 2025, rising 11.64% on NAV and outperforming its blended benchmark. The quarter was highlighted by the Federal Reserve's first rate cut, which supports risk assets and particularly small- to mid-cap convertible issuers. The fund benefited from strong performance in equity-sensitive convertibles and an overweight position in Information Technology (specifically software). The fund maintains an 86% allocation to convertibles, mostly in the unrated tier (77%), and employs approximately 33% leverage. The current annualized distribution rate remains highly competitive at 11.12%. Looking ahead, the manager is constructive on risk assets and intends to maintain a defensive credit stance on corporate bonds until spreads widen.
