My 9% Income Portfolio-In Search For Happiness

Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund aims to deliver a combination of capital appreciation and income by investing in convertible and high-yield fixed income securities. CCD carries a high management fee and has underperformed passive low-fee products historically. The fund is currently trading at a premium to NAV, which I do not believe is warranted.

Total Return is the actual rate of return for an investment over a given evaluation period, typically one, three, five, or ten years. The Total NAV Return is the sum of all dividends/distributions, assuming they are reinvested, plus the change in the NAV of the fund, be it positive or negative. However, managing our portfolio is not only about applying financial rules, because it is not certain that dividends can and will always be reinvested.

CCD, a high beta equity Closed-End Fund, has experienced a significant decline since our last rating. CCD primarily focuses on convertible debt, with equity prices being the main driver of its performance. The high premium to NAV that was previously a concern has significantly decreased, making the fund now trade near its NAV. This is seen as appropriate.

CCD: The Premium Has Finally Deflated (Rating Upgrade)

The Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund offers a 12.92% current yield, making it attractive for income-focused investors.
