Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund seeks to invest in responsible, engaged companies—in both developed and emerging markets—that have above-average growth potential and meet defined environmental, social and governance criteria. The Fund utilizes a proprietary ESG ranking system that looks at both quantitative and qualitative factors including a company’s position and practices on environmental stewardship, human rights and equality, societal impact, and corporate governance.
“Investing with an ESG focus helps us find companies that are financially strong and are also well-run businesses,” said Tony Tursich. “Jim and I have learned through decades of experience that great insights can be gained by understanding management’s ability to navigate ESG considerations and their material risks.”
