1 Calamos Growth Fund (CVGRX) Active Growth Investing for Over 20 Years 2Q 2015 The opinions referenced are as of the date of publication and are subject to change due to changes in the market or economic conditions and may not necessarily come to pass. Information contained herein is for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice.

2 Important Risk Information The principal risks of investing in the Growth Fund include: equity securities risk consisting of market prices declining in general, growth stock risk consisting of potential increased volatility due to securities trading at higher multiples, mid-sized company risk, foreign securities risk and portfolio selection risk. As a result of political or economic instability in foreign countries, there can be special risks associated with investing in foreign securities, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, increased price volatility and difficulty obtaining information. In addition, emerging markets may present additional risk due to potential for greater economic and political instability in less developed countries. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and reflects the deduction of any sales charges, where applicable. Performance may reflect the waiver of a portion of the Fund's advisory or administrative fees for certain periods since the inception date. If fees had not been waived, performance would have been less favorable. Before investing carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Please see the prospectus and summary prospectus containing this and other information or call Read it carefully before investing.

5 Growth Has Typically Outperformed Mid-to-Late Cycle In our view, the current economic cycle may extend for several more years, and growth has historically outperformed in mid-to-late-cycle periods. Source: Empirical Research Partners Analysis. Equally weighted data used for the lowest two quintiles of price-to-book ratios compared to growth stocks. The Price-To-Book Ratio is used to compare a stock's market value to its book value.

13 Appendix

14 Definitions The Russell Mid Cap Growth Index measures the performance of the midcap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe and includes companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The S&P 500 Index is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. The Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of the broad growth segment of the U.S. equity universe and includes those Russell 3000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Value Index measures the performance of the broad value segment of U.S. equity value universe and includes those Russell 3000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher priceto-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The S&P Month Forward Return is the total return of the index from the end of the quarter looking out 12 months. The return plotted therefore is lagging by 12 months. The Morningstar Large Growth Category consists of largegrowth portfolios that invest in big U.S. companies projected to grow faster than other large-cap stocks. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large-cap. Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields). Most of these portfolios focus on companies in rapidly expanding industries. Alpha is the measurement of performance on a risk adjusted basis. A positive alpha shows that performance of a portfolio was higher than expected given the risk. A negative alpha shows that the performance was less than expected given the risk. Information ratio is the measurement of the performance returns of a portfolio against the performance volatility of an index or benchmark. The information ratio is generally used as a gauge to measure the ability of a portfolio to generate excess returns of the index or benchmark. Sharpe ratio is a calculation that reflects the reward per each unit of risk in a portfolio. The higher the ratio, the better the portfolio s risk-adjusted return is. Upside capture ratio measures a manager s performance in up markets relative to the named index itself. It is calculated by taking the security s upside capture return and dividing it by the benchmark s upside capture return. Downside capture ratio measures manager s performance in down markets as defined by the named index. A down-market is defined as those periods (months or quarters) in which named index return is less than 0. In essence, it tells you what percentage of the down-market was captures by the manager. For example, if the ratio is 110%, the manager has captured 110% of the down-market and therefore underperformed the market on the downside. Unmanaged index returns assume reinvestment of any and all distributions and, unlike fund returns, do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Securities and sectors mentioned are presented to illustrate securities and sectors in which the Fund may invest. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. The Fund is actively managed. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 14
