Earlier this year, Calamos made its crypto debut with the launch of not one but three funds designed to protect investors from the volatility in bitcoin’s (BTC) price.

The S&P 500 has long been used as a benchmark for investment performance, but Pompliano highlighted one of its key limitations: it doesn’t trade 24/7.
