design master/iStock via Getty Images The Calamos Global Total Return Fund ( CGO ) is a closed-end fund that aims to provide its investors with a high level of both capital appreciation and current income. The fund does reasonably well in terms of current income, as its 7.64% current yield is higher than most alternatives that investors might consider for income along with global equity exposure.
