  • Calamos offers auto-callable ETFs ($CAIE for income, $CAGE for growth) as alternatives to traditional bonds and leveraged ETFs.
  • $CAIE provides high, stable, tax-efficient income positively tied to inflation, while $CAGE aims for amplified growth with S&P-like risk by compounding coupons within the fund.
