INVESTMENT SERVICES
The firm offers and earns advisory fees on the following types of investment products: open-end
mutual funds, ETFs, and UCITS. CGAM serves as investment adviser for the series of the Calamos
Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust, an investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) and organized as a statutory trust
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “U.S. Fund”); for the Calamos Antetokounmpo Global
Sustainable Equities ETF, an exchange traded fund (and together with the series of the Calamos
Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust, the “U.S. Funds”); and for the Calamos
Antetokounmpo US Sustainable Equities Fund, a sub-fund of the Calamos Antetokounmpo Global
Funds SICAV which qualifies as a UCITS and is organized under the laws of Luxembourg. The
Calamos Antetokounmpo Global Funds SICAV is structured as an umbrella investment fund with
a view to providing investors with one or more sub-funds invested in specific assets (the “UCITS”)
(each of the U.S. Funds and
the UCITS, a “Client,” and collectively, the “Clients”).
CGAM is responsible for implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the U.S. Funds
and the UCITS. To assist in fulfilling these responsibilities, CGAM has entered into an agreement
with CAL to serve as sub-adviser to the U.S. Funds to provide day-to-day portfolio management
services as well as operational infrastructure and administrative support. In addition, CGAM has
entered into an agreement with CAL to serve as sub-investment manager to the UCITS to provide

OTHER
Given the multiple services that are provided to a Client by CGAM or its affiliates, or to others,
including clients of CAL that may also invest in a Client, conflicts of interest will arise. When
using services provided by CAL, or another CGAM affiliate, a Client should be aware of the
conflicts that may arise, consult its own adviser(s), and satisfy itself that the arrangement is
appropriate and in its continuing best interests.
CGAM and its affiliates are not required to devote their full-time or attention to managing your
assets. CGAM affiliates, including CAL, conduct other business and also provide investment
services to others that can be competitive with the activities provided to you. In advising other
accounts, CGAM affiliates, including CAL, give advice and make recommendations to such
accounts, which can be the same, similar to or different from those rendered to you. Differing
compensation arrangements with others create incentives for CGAM affiliates, including CAL, to
favor such other clients.
CGAM and CAL personnel may have more than one role. For example, certain CAL portfolio
managers also serve as traders or research analysts. Further, certain CAL research analysts offer
investment ideas for team-managed products. Personnel with multiple roles may have an incentive
to favor certain accounts or responsibilities over others.
CGAM has in place policies and procedures to address conflicts of interest or potential conflicts
of interest. These policies and procedures are described throughout this brochure and include
requirements that CGAM personnel act in the best interest of the Client.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2023, CGAM had approximately $16.3 million total assets under
management.
