CHY: Discounted Valuation On This Steady Convertible Fund (Rating Upgrade)

Calamos Convertible & High Income Fund is upgraded to a Buy, now trading at a 3.18% discount to NAV versus its historical premium.

CHY: Not The Ideal Time For This Convertible Fund

CHY offers an attractive 11% yield and monthly distributions, but recent performance has suffered due to high interest rates and inconsistent earnings. The fund's heavy use of leverage and significant exposure to below-investment-grade and unrated debt heighten risk, especially if rates remain elevated. CHY trades at a small premium to NAV, but its price has declined and capital appreciation potential is limited; total returns rely mainly on distributions.

CHY: Expensive And Riskier Than Would Be Expected From A Bond Fund

The Calamos Convertible & High Income Fund offers a high yield of 11.73%, higher than domestic convertible and junk bond indices, appealing to income-oriented investors. Convertible bonds, less volatile than stocks, provide downside protection and upside potential, making them suitable for risk-averse investors, including retirees. The fund's recent underperformance is due to its high leverage and significant exposure to the underperforming technology sector, despite its overall potential for reduced volatility.

5 Best CEFs This Month: Average Yield Of 10% (February 2025)

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns.

Calamos Convertible & High Income Fund offers high-income and equity market exposure, making it attractive for yield-seeking investors. The CHY closed-end fund's 10.69% yield is competitive, though not the highest in its category, and its performance has been strong, especially over the past five years.
