Calamos Launches CTAG ETF Featuring Award-Winning Manager Brandon Nelson
Calamos has launched the Calamos Timpani Active SMID Growth ETF (CTAG) on the Texas Stock Exchange, marking its first active mutual fund-to-ETF conversion. The ETF is managed by Brandon Nelson, a recognized top-performing small-cap portfolio manager who was featured in the Wall Street Journal's 2024 Winners Circle. CTAG utilizes a time-tested strategy focused on identifying small- and mid-cap companies with fundamental momentum. The Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund has consistently outperformed its peers and benchmark index since inception, particularly over recent years. The ETF aims to extend this active management approach into the ETF market, offering investors access to a liquid, transparent investment vehicle in an area of growing demand for small-cap growth strategies. Calamos President John Koudounis emphasized that CTAG represents both innovation within their product lineup and a strategic move on TXSE. The firm highlights strong investor interest in active ETFs as large-cap dominance wanes.
