Reported by Fred Schneyer
A news release said the platform averages 600 to 700 plans a year at an average size of $5 million to $7 million.
The seven funds on the platform are:
- Calamos Convertible Fund

- Calamos Growth & Income Fund

“John Calamos started his firm in 1977,” said Bob Behan, senior vice president and head of National Accounts & Retirement Distribution at Calamos, in the news release. “The addition of the Calamos funds to the Fidelity platform gives advisers access to the experience and expertise of John and co-CIO Nick Calamos, as well as their entire investment team. Now more than ever, experience in both up and down market cycles is important.”
