NAPERVILLE, Ill. and LONDON, Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments^®*, a globally diversified investment management firm, released its quarterly Global Economic Review and Outlook. The outlook provides the firm's views on the current economic environment and discusses factors that may affect the global markets and investing opportunities and risks. Calamos invites you to read the entire October 2013 Global Economic Review and Outlook at www.calamos.com/outlook.

Topics include the following:

• Our global outlook remains one of cautious optimism.
• We expect continued market volatility on the back of debt-ceiling negotiations and other global political uncertainties.
• We believe it is highly unlikely that the U.S. government defaults on its debt, and expect continued moderate U.S. economic growth.
• We are increasingly constructive on Europe and believe signs coming out of Japan have been encouraging.
• The U.S. equity market looks to be in the mid-cycle of a secular bull market, with more room to expand. Valuations are especially attractive for growth-oriented U.S. equities.
