Description: CSQ Calamos Strategic Total November 12, 2025
Calamos Strategic Total Return Closed Fund (NASDAQ: CSQ) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that targets a flexible allocation mix, typically holding between 50 % and 70 % equities, with the remainder in fixed-income and cash equivalents to balance risk and return.
As of the most recent filing, CSQ reported an expense ratio of 0.85 % and total net assets of roughly $1.2 billion. The fund’s performance has been closely tied to the U.S. interest-rate environment; a flattening yield curve in 2024 supported its credit holdings, while its equity tilt benefited from the rebound in technology and consumer discretionary sectors, which together contributed about 45 % of the portfolio’s market-value exposure.
