The concentrated buying by MetLife, a sophisticated institutional investor, at a uniform $25 price point suggests the fund's shares are attractively valued relative to NAV. Monitor the fund's next NAV disclosure and discount/premium data — if the discount narrows, this buying signal is validated. The cross-filing cluster of other large transactions by MetLife and Thrivent adds conviction to the bullish thesis.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
MetLife Investment Management, a 10% owner of Calamos Convertible & High Income Fund (CHY), purchased $6.16M of shares on the open market over two days at $25/share. This follows a broader cluster of insider buying totaling $7.3M over the past 30 days, including additional purchases and other transactions by MetLife and Thrivent Financial. The conviction buy by a major institutional holder signals strong confidence in the fund's value at current levels, particularly given the fund's closed-end structure where insider buying can indicate NAV discount narrowing potential.
