Calamos is the Latest to Banish B Shares


Effective Friday, July 31, Calamos Asset Management, Inc. will join the list of fund firms that have jettisoned their B shares. Current shareholders may continue to hold Class B shares as of the closing date until they convert them to Class A shares or redeem those shares.

In a notice posted on its Web site, Calamos noted that the use of B shares has "fallen off significantly in recent years."

Among those that have recently scrapped B shares are Praxis Funds, First American Funds and American Funds.
