About CAISX

Calamos International Small Cap Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing in small capitalization companies located outside the United States. The fund targets international businesses demonstrating strong earnings growth potential, financial strength, and operational flexibility. Its investment approach encompasses a broad range of markets, including both developed and emerging economies, providing access to diverse growth opportunities that may be underrepresented in many U.S.-centric portfolios. Notably, the fund's rigorous research process, managed by an experienced team, seeks to identify dynamic small-cap companies at an early stage, emphasizing those poised to benefit from secular growth themes such as technological advancement, evolving consumer trends, and regional economic development. The portfolio is constructed to serve as an attractive diversification tool, aiming to reduce correlation with large-cap holdings and potentially lower overall portfolio volatility. With annual dividends and capital gains distributions and an expense structure designed to remain competitive through contractual fee waivers, this fund is positioned as a specialized asset for investors seeking exposure to the growth prospects of international small-cap equities.
