Is Calamos Still On the Hunt?


John Calamos is about to make his second acquisition, and he may do more.

President, Head of Global Distribution
"We'd be open to it, sure," new Calamos Investments [profile] president Bob Behan tells MFWire. ""We'll just keep our options open."

Behan says that Calamos will be opportunistic about deals. He says that the shop has "about $350 million on the balance sheet," ample dry powder for more M&A.

"We're in a very, very unique position for a firm our size," Behan says. "Calamos is in a very strong financial position."

In the meantime, Calamos is about to buy San Francisco-based Phineus Partners, an active, global, long/short hedge fund. The deal is slated to close by the end of the month.
