Calamos CEF Income & Arbitrage ETF pays a monthly distribution. Its most recent payment was $0.19 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of October 1, 2026 and a pay date of October 8, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $2.56 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 8.97% at a share price of $28.57.

Ex-dates usually fall on the first business day of the month, with payment about a week later. The history shown starts in March 2025. The regular monthly amounts have been very steady, between $0.19 and $0.21. December 2025 had two ex-dates: a regular $0.19 distribution on December 1 and a second one of $0.41 on December 23. That second payment was unusually large, about twice the regular amount. No January 2026 ex-date is listed.

Leaving out the December 23 payment, the ten regular distributions listed for 2025 added up to $1.91. In 2026, nine payments so far have ranged from $0.19 to $0.21 and added up to $1.78, an average of about $0.20. The source does not show a growth streak. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in early November 2026 and be paid about a week later.
