Calamos Investments, a global investment management firm, announced the launch of the Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (CTSIX) and the related completion of the firm’s acquisition of Timpani Capital Management, a boutique small- and smid-cap investment manager based in Milwaukee.
The previously announced transaction has closed following the fulfilment of applicable regulatory and customary closing conditions, including mutual fund shareholder approvals. The newly named Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund will maintain its investment team and track record of more than eight years, alongside the Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Strategy, a separately managed account offering with a track record of more than 11 years.
Timpani co-founder Brandon M. Nelson and his investment team joined Calamos Investments upon the transaction’s close. Nelson, with more than 22 years of investment experience, will along with his team employ the same investment approach, combining fundamental analysis with a value-added sell discipline based on behavioral finance concepts, an approach deployed by Timpani since its founding. The team will remain based in Milwaukee.
