Calamos Investments Adds to Fixed Income/High Yield Expertise



NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 16, 2013 -- Calamos Investments®*, a global investment management firm, announced the addition of two co-portfolio managers to its investment team. Jeremy Hughes, CFA, and Chris Langs, CFA, have joined Calamos with more than 40 years of collective investment experience. Most recently, Messrs.

At Calamos, the pair will contribute their expertise to managing the firm's fixed income/high yield strategies, including the Calamos High Income Fund.

Throughout the firm's history, we have sought to expand our investment capabilities both through cultivating internal expertise as well as by hiring experienced professionals," stated John P. Calamos, Sr., CEO and Global Co-Chief Investment Officer. He continued, "A team approach benefits our clients by ensuring continuity of process and philosophy. Each team has specialized responsibilities—in this case, fixed income/high yield—but all teams draw upon each other's insights and research. This balance of specialization and collaboration gives us an edge in identifying opportunities in the fixed income/high yield market."

Gary Black, Global Co-Chief Investment Officer, added, "We see significant opportunities for U.S. and global fixed income/high yield strategies.
