Calamos CEF Income & Arbitrage ETF

CCEF is an actively managed fund-of-funds that invests in income-producing closed-end funds trading at attractive discounts. The fund seeks to deliver high current income and long-term capital appreciation.

When Calamos brought its ETF-of-CEFs to market in January, it drew on the expertise gained during its 20-year history in the closed-end fund space. The actively managed Calamos CEF Income & Arbitrage ETF (CCEF) has the dual goal of providing investors with high levels of monthly income as well as capital appreciation.
