This is a market in which the winners not only keep winning, but they continue to lap the broader market over and over again. And though everyone has been calling for a broadening out of stocks, that's not happening. So until the narrative changes, stick with what's working. And in CEFs, what's working are the Calamos leveraged equity and fixed-income funds. And none have been better than the Calamos Global Total Return Fund.

Calamos Global Total Return Fund offers a high yield of 8.98%, comparable to other high-yielding equity funds in the market. The CGO closed-end fund invests primarily in equities as opposed to fixed-income, which should allow it to provide a bit of inflation protection. The fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index over the past two months, which might be partly due to the high level of leverage employed.

Total Return is the actual rate of return for an investment over a given evaluation period, typically one, three, five, or ten years. The Total NAV Return is the sum of all dividends/distributions, assuming they are reinvested, plus the change in the NAV of the fund, be it positive or negative. However, managing our portfolio is not only about applying financial rules, because it is not certain that dividends can and will always be reinvested.

The world seeks complexity, but simplicity often trumps complexity. For my investment goals, I have made the choice to focus mainly on CEFs and ETFs, carefully weighing their merits and drawbacks.

Despite the volatility we've seen in the market, CGO has continued to hang on to its narrow discount. The fund's distribution was trimmed last year but remains elevated as a solid rebound hasn't been able to take hold in the broader market.

As in Led Zeppelin's famous song, for me, investments in high-dividend securities represent a kind of stairway to heaven. Indeed, their steady flow of money relieves psychological pressure during times of market uncertainty and helps me experience them with greater peace of mind.
