According to John Koudounis, President and CEO of the company, Calamos Investments is creating a new sustainable fund in collaboration with Greek NBA basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo. Specifically, he said that for the new bundle of ESG funds, which will be accessible to investors, there is
budgeted capital, as it is now being launched. 

THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE EQUITY FUNDS

It will be recalled that the two parties proceeded early last year to establish the Calamos Antetokounmpo Global Sustainable Equity Funds, seeking to offer a long-term return on capital by investing in quality growth companies using ESG principles in their business models. The first batch of funds was actively managed and implemented using a strategy that looked at both traditional and non-financial indicators, including: 

• governance
• climate risks, and
• company working conditions, which can play an important role in a company's ability to deliver financial returns over time.

THE INDUSTRIES

Mr. Koudounis stressed to BnB Daily that attractive sectors in the Greek market are considered to be tourism and technology, which is particularly growing, while he is not interested in investing in the food and beverage sector.
