Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Enclosed is your semiannual report for the six months ended April 30, 2007. As always, we value the opportunity to communicate with you and encourage you to review these materials with care. You’ll find share price and NAV performance information, commentary about the Fund and markets, portfolio allocations, as well as a complete listing of holdings and financial highlights.

As you’ll learn in this report, the Fund posted a solid gain for the period and continued to provide a stable monthly dividend to shareholders. We believe the Fund’s performance—both during the period and since its inception—speaks to the value of dynamically blending securities from different asset classes to pursue returns and manage risk.

This year marks an important milestone for us—30 years of helping investors achieve their long-term goals. When I look back to 1977, in many ways, it was a very different world. Personal computers were years away from being standard office equipment, and we still did calculations with pencils, paper and French curves. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading well below the 13,000 close it achieved in April. In fact, it was trading below 1,000! Without the benefit of today’s technologies, we were less connected to other countries and markets.

Although much has changed since 1977, the core values that guided Calamos Investments then continue to inform each decision we make today. We place you, our shareholders, first. We recognize the assets you entrust with us are the result of hard work and carefully thought-out choices. We regard the management of your assets as both a responsibility and an honor—one which we welcome with the utmost dedication.

We continue to believe strongly in the value of teamwork. Each Calamos fund is managed by a team of investment professionals. In our view, teams maximize individual talent and the best ideas emerge from an environment of collaboration. As we have grown, we have continued to strengthen our team by adding new and talented associates. I’m pleased to announce that during these past six months, this growth has continued with the addition of seasoned fixed-income and cash management investment professionals to our ranks.

Thirty years ago, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit served to set us apart. Then, we were using convertible securities—which were little understood—to maximize return potential while managing risk. Throughout our history, we have continually challenged ourselves to understand and maximize the potential of the evolving marketplace—indeed, the world. We believe that globalization has given rise to truly exciting opportunities for growth and progress, and believe that this fund is well positioned to participate in the dynamic global marketplace.


Convertible and High Income Fund Letter to Shareholders SEMIANNUAL REPORT			1

Letter to Shareholders

We view the long-term results we achieve for you as the most important measure of our success. Consistent with this, we seek to invest ahead of events rather than chase performance, and always keep a close eye on understanding and managing risk. As we have for 30 years, we view this focus on risk management—on protecting your principal over the long-term—as a key differentiator of our investment process.

If you have any questions about your portfolio, please contact your financial advisor, or, contact us at 800.582.6959, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Central Time.

We thank you for your trust and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals in the years to come.

Sincerely,

John P. Calamos, Sr.

Economic and Market Review

For the latest market and economic outlook, please visit our website at www.calamos.com and select the “Individual Investors” button.

We believe the U.S. economy has entered a period of mid-cycle slowdown, as evidenced by factors such as softness in first-quarter gross domestic product, the slide of sub-prime mortgage market and the slump in the housing market.

That said, periods of more subdued growth are normal and do not necessarily signal an imminent recession. In fact, we believe the economy is sound. While gas prices have increased again, core inflation is in an acceptable range. Under Chairman Bernanke, the Fed has done a good job of managing the economy and has sufficient room to move rates either up or down. On the whole, consumers have access to credit. Productivity and labor trends remain positive. Despite higher prices at the gas pump, consumer trends are strong, with good gains in wage growth supporting consumer spending. Earnings growth seems likely to drop from double-digit levels in 2006, but we believe this is simply a return to more normal levels. Merger-and-acquisition activity and stock buy-backs also further the case that corporate America appears to be on solid ground.

Although the housing market remains a source of apprehension for many, it is important to remember that many factors in the global economy suggest the potential for continued strength, including its diversification, productivity gains, inflation containment and global reach. As evidence of this, consider that since the 1980s, the U.S. economy has experienced rolling recessions in various sectors (including agriculture, commodities, banking, and information technology)—while avoiding a significant overall decline.

The high-yield market benefited from strong issuance, particularly in 2007; and defaults have remained near record lows. Unlike the equity markets, which experienced considerable volatility throughout the period, the high-yield market climbed at a fairly steady pace. Lower-quality credits outperformed the higher tiers of the high-yield universe for the period. Credit spreads remained narrow, particularly in the CCC segment of the market.

Convertible securities continued to offer investors compelling opportunities. Issuance remained strong, particularly in 2007, and valuations continued to improve. For the six-month period overall, investors rewarded lower-quality convertible securities most; speculative-grade issues outperformed investment-grade issues. From a sector perspective, cyclical and value-oriented companies outperformed growth sectors. However, as in the equity markets, indications emerged that the tide may be turning away from cyclical and lower-quality issues. After the February market correction, investors began to return their attention to higher-quality, growth-oriented convertibles.

History has shown that even during periods of economic slowdown, the markets may offer considerable upside potential. This has held true during the semiannual period. Looking forward, we believe many opportunities exist for long-term investors, across asset classes. With its focus on higher-yielding securities with good fundamentals, we believe the Fund is well positioned for this environment.

Investment Team Interview

In the following interview, the Calamos Investment Team, led by Co-Chief Investment Officers John P. Calamos, Sr. and Nick P. Calamos, CFA, discuss the Fund’s performance, strategy and positioning during the six-month period ended April 30, 2007.

Q. How did the Fund perform over the reporting period?

A. Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (CHY) posted strong gains over the semiannual period. Its underlying portfolio (as represented by net asset value, or NAV) returned 8.46% for the six-month period, outpacing the CS High Yield Index,¹up 7.65%. On a market price basis, the Fund returned 5.16%.

The Fund continued to provide shareholders with a steady level of income. Throughout the period, the Fund delivered a stable monthly distribution of $0.1219 per share. Since August 2003, the Fund has maintained a distribution of at least this level.

As of April 30, 2007, the Fund traded at a premium of 6.63% to its NAV, reflecting continued strong investor demand for shares.

Q. What do you believe to be the most compelling merits of the Fund?

A. The Fund has demonstrated its ability to deliver a steady distribution and good total return through varying interest rate and market climates. Despite rising short-term rates, this continued through the period, thanks to the Fund’s focus on less-interest rate sensitive issues.

We believe that the Fund provides investors with an attractive complement to a traditional fixed income investment. We think of the Fund as an “enhanced fixed-income” strategy, in that it is focused on delivering an attractive income stream with the potential for capital gains. Our strategy involves opportunistically blending “straight” (non-convertible) corporate bonds with convertible securities to create a risk-managed portfolio of the most compelling high yield issues.


4		Convertible and High Income Fund SEMIANNUAL REPORT Investment Team Interview

Investment Team Interview

As we noted, the securities in the portfolio tend to have considerably less interest-rate sensitivity compared with traditional fixed-income securities. Moreover, high-yield and convertible bonds tend to have greater sensitivity to the equity markets. This was beneficial during the reporting period as the equity market advanced briskly, particularly after the brief correction that began in February.

Q. Tell us more about the potential benefits of blending non-convertible (“straight”) corporate bonds with a complementary allocation to convertible bonds.

A. Having the flexibility to invest in both straight corporate bonds and convertible bonds provides us with a larger universe of choices. Also, including convertible securities opportunistically helps us to manage risk and enhance return potential over full market cycles. During periods of volatility in advancing equity markets—such as we experienced in 2007—convertibles may be particularly advantageous, because higher volatility increases the value of the conversion feature of a convertible issue.


Sector Allocation
Consumer Discretionary	25.3	%
Financials	16.8
Industrials	10.6
Information Technology	10.3
Energy	8.5
Materials	7.7
Health Care	6.3
Consumer Staples	6.0
Utilities	4.3
Telecommunication Services	2.1

Sector allocations are based on net assets and may vary over time.

Q. What specific factors contributed to the Fund’s gains?

A. The Fund’s advance was broad based, fuelled by positive returns across all market sectors. On an absolute basis, the Fund’s consumer staples, financials and health care positions were among those posting the highest returns. Performance relative to the index benefited from security selection in financials (specifically, companies with capital market sensitivity) and in consumer staples.

Both the allocations to straight and convertible bonds delivered positive returns. Against the backdrop of a rising equity market, convertibles performed most strongly.

Q. What factors hindered performance?

A. Relative to the CS High Yield index, the Fund’s performance was tempered by security selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Also, our bias toward higher quality credits slowed the Fund’s pace versus the index, as the most speculative issues outperformed. That said, we believe that our more prudent approach makes sense, particularly in a slowing economic environment. Simply put, in our view, a higher coupon or income stream can’t make up for a default.

Q. How did your leverage strategy mitigate the negative influence of interest rate increases?

A. Leverage strategies typically involve borrowing at very short-term rates and investing the proceeds at long-term rates. As short-term rates rise, the profitability of leverage activities may decrease if there is not a commensurate increase in long-term rates. During the period, short-term and long-term rates generally held steady.


Convertible and High Income Fund Investment Team Interview SEMIANNUAL REPORT			5

Investment Team Interview

However, we have been able to mitigate the influence of rate increases through our use of interest rate swaps. We had locked in a majority of the cost of leverage earlier in the interest rate cycle, when rates were lower. (For more on the Fund’s use of leverage and interest rate swaps, see the section “Leverage.”)

AAA		1.5	%
AA		3.7
A		10.7
BBB		16.4
BB		29.9

Data is based on portfolio holdings. Credit quality shown reflects the higher of the ratings of Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Ratings are relative, subjective and not absolute standards of quality. Excludes equity securities and cash.

Q. What is your outlook for the Fund?

A. We’re optimistic about the prospects of the Fund. Through rigorous individual security research, we have built a portfolio of companies with respectable balance sheets and good prospects for sustainable growth.

The health of corporate America should continue to provide support for financially sound high-yield issuers. However, given that the economy is slowing, we believe that the most speculative high-yield securities merit particular caution. Consistent with our view that the U.S. economy has entered a period of mid-cycle slowdown, we’re continuing to emphasize investment grade issues and issues from the higher tiers of the high yield universe, while avoiding truly distressed issues. A great deal of credit has been extended during the past few years, and investors seem to be complacent in owning virtually any corporate debt; this is underscored by historically tight spreads in the CCC rated segment of the debt market. We believe a more prudent approach is the better course.

We believe that the inclusion of convertible securities in the Fund will continue to benefit shareholders. As we noted, convertible securities tend to benefit from rising equity markets and volatility. Higher volatility tends to increase the value of the bond’s conversion feature. Although valuations have improved, our research shows that the convertible market still offers attractively valued securities.

18		Convertible and High Income Fund SEMIANNUAL REPORT Statements of Changes in Net Assets

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization. CALAMOS Convertible and High Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 12, 2003 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on May 28, 2003.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of convertible and non-convertible income securities. “Managed assets” means the Fund’s total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage).

Portfolio Valuation. The valuation of the Fund’s portfolio securities is in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees.

Portfolio securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the last current reported sales price at the time as of which the Fund determines its net asset value (“NAV”). Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), as determined by Nasdaq, or lacking a NOCP, at the last current reported sale price on Nasdaq at the time as of which the Fund determines its NAV.

When a most recent last sale or closing price is not available, portfolio securities, other than option securities, that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange and other securities traded in the OTC market are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Each option security traded on a U.S. securities exchange is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security, also in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Each OTC option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued by the counterparty to such option.

Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and OTC markets is typically completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Each security trading on these exchanges or OTC markets is evaluated utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The valuation of each security that meets certain criteria in relation to the valuation model is systematically adjusted to reflect the impact of movement in the U.S. market after the foreign markets close. Securities that do not meet the criteria, or that are principally traded in other foreign markets, are valued as of the last current sale price at the time as of which the Fund determines its NAV, or when reliable market prices or quotations are not readily available, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time, in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Trading of foreign securities may not take place on every NYSE business day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the Fund’s NAV is not calculated.

If the pricing committee determines that the valuation of a security in accordance with the methods described above is not reflective of a fair value for such security, the security, including any thinly-traded security, junk bond or synthetic convertible instrument, is valued at a fair value by the pricing committee, under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees, following the guidelines and/or procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

The Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to Board of Trustees guidelines and under the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees if the value of a foreign security it holds is materially affected by events occurring before their valuation time but after the close of the primary market or exchange on which the security is traded. Those procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees, which may be based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities that are generally recognized by institutional traders, a computerized matrix system, or appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those securities.

When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Short-term investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Long-term investment transactions are recorded on a trade date plus one basis, except for fiscal quarter ends, which are recorded on trade date. Net


Convertible and High Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements SEMIANNUAL REPORT			19

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized using the accrual method and includes accretion of original issue and market discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available.

Foreign Currency Translation. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using a rate quoted by a major bank or dealer in the particular currency market, as reported by a recognized quotation dissemination service.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from disposition of foreign currency, the difference in the foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the ex-date or accrual date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at period end.

Option Transactions. For hedging and investment purposes, the Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of purchased call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of purchased put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a written call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a written put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Fund’s policy is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for contingent payment debt instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting fixed income securities. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

Indemnifications. Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities incurred by them by reason of having been an officer or trustee of the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and their disclosures, and its impact has not yet been determined.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISER AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES OR CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC (“Calamos Advisors”), the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to .80% based on the average weekly managed assets. Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average weekly managed assets of the Fund for the first five full years of the Fund’s operation (through May 31, 2008) and to waive a declining amount for an additional three years (0.07% of the average weekly managed assets in 2009, 0.05% in 2010, and 0.03% in 2011).

Pursuant to a financial accounting services agreement, Calamos Advisors receives a fee payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.0175% on the first $1 billion of combined assets; 0.0150% on the next $1 billion of combined assets; and 0.0110% on combined assets above $2 billion for financial accounting services (for purposes of this calculation “combined assets” means the total of the average daily managed net assets of Calamos Investment Trust, and Calamos Advisors Trust and the average weekly managed net assets of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund and Calamos Global Total Return Fund). Financial accounting services include, but are not limited to, the following: managing expenses and expense payment processing; monitoring the calculation of expense accrual amounts; calculating, tracking, and reporting tax adjustments on all assets and monitoring trustee deferred compensation plan accruals and valuations. The Fund pays its pro rata share of the financial accounting services fee payable to Calamos Advisors based on the Fund’s relative portion of combined assets.

The Fund reimburses the Calamos Advisors for a portion of compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of “Trustees’ fees and officer compensation” expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Included in the statement of operations under the caption “Earnings Credits” is an expense offset of $31,366, arising from credits on cash balances maintained on deposit.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Calamos Financial Services LLC (“CFS”) and Calamos Advisors. All officers and affiliated trustees serve without direct compensation from the Fund, except for the Chief Compliance Officer as described above.

The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, a trustee who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund and has elected to participate in the Plan (a “participating trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation from the Fund. The deferred compensation payable to the participating trustee is credited to the trustee’s deferral account as of the business day such compensation would have been paid to the participating trustee. The value of amounts deferred for a participating trustee is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more funds of Calamos Investment Trust

designated by the participant. The value of the account increases with contributions to the account or with increases in the value of the measuring shares, and the value of the account decreases with withdrawals from the account or with declines in the value of the measuring shares. Deferred compensation of $41,224 is included in “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at April 30, 2007. The Fund’s obligation to make payments under the Plan is a general obligation of the Fund and is included in “Payable for deferred compensation to Trustees” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at April 30, 2007.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments for the six months ended April 30, 2007 were as follows:


Purchases	$	348,160,370
Proceeds from sales		334,110,330

The following information is presented on a Federal income tax basis as of April 30, 2007. Differences between the cost basis under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences.

The cost basis of investments for Federal income tax purposes at April 30, 2007 was as follows:


Cost basis of investments	$	1,590,641,364

Gross unrealized appreciation		90,968,586
Gross unrealized depreciation		(9,962,895	)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	81,005,691

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The tax character of distributions for the period ended April 30, 2007 will be determined at the end of the Fund’s current fiscal year.

NOTE 5 – COMMON SHARES

There are unlimited common shares of beneficial interest authorized and 67,209,578 shares outstanding at April 30, 2007. Calamos Advisors owned 19,271 of the outstanding shares at April 30, 2007. Transactions in common shares were as follows:


	For the Six Months Ended		For the Year Ended
	April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)		October 31, 2006

Beginning shares		66,769,999		61,867,557

Shares issued through reinvestment of distributions		439,579		902,442

Ending shares		67,209,578		66,769,999

NOTE 6 – FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates by entering into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include, among other things, movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. The net unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates, and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when a position is closed or upon settlement of the contracts. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2007.

NOTE 7 – SYNTHETIC CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

The Fund may establish a “synthetic” convertible instrument by combining separate securities that possess the economic characteristics similar to a convertible security, i.e., fixed-income securities (“fixed-income component”, which may be a convertible or non-convertible security) and the right to acquire equity securities (“convertible component”). The fixed-income component is achieved by investing in fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred stocks or money market instruments. The convertible component is achieved by investing in warrants or options to buy common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. In establishing a synthetic instrument, the Fund may pool a basket of fixed-income securities and a basket of warrants or options that produce the economic characteristics similar to a convertible security. Within each basket of fixed-income securities and warrants or options, different companies may issue the fixed-income and convertible components, which may be purchased separately and at different times.

The Fund may also purchase synthetic convertible instruments created by other parties, typically investment banks, including convertible structured notes. Convertible structured notes are fixed-income debentures linked to equity. Convertible structured notes have the attributes of a convertible security; however, the investment bank that issued the convertible note assumes the credit risk associated with the investment, rather than the issuer of the underlying common stock into which the note is convertible. Purchasing synthetic convertible securities may offer more flexibility than purchasing a convertible security.

NOTE 8 – PREFERRED SHARES

There are unlimited shares of Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”) authorized. The Preferred Shares have rights as determined by the Board of Trustees. The 17,200 Preferred Shares outstanding consist of six series, 3,000 shares of M, 3,000 shares of TU, 3,000 shares of W, 3,000 shares of TH, 3,000 shares of F, and 2,200 shares of A. The Preferred Shares have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared.

Dividends on the Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate typically reset every seven or twenty-eight days based on the results of an auction. Dividend rates ranged from 4.70% to 5.30% for the six months ended April 30, 2007. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares would be less than 200%.


Convertible and High Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements SEMIANNUAL REPORT			23

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the Fund’s option, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of the Fund as set forth in the Statement of Preferences are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class, except on matters affecting only the holders of Preferred Shares or only the holders of common shares, when the respective classes vote separately or alone.

NOTE 9 – INTEREST RATE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund may engage in swaps primarily to manage duration and yield curve risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of the swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller.

Amounts paid to or by the Fund are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) when paid on swaps in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The contracts are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts.

If the Fund is required to terminate any swap or cap early due to the Fund’s failure to maintain a required 200% asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding Preferred Shares or the Fund loses its credit rating on its Preferred Shares, then the Fund could be required to make a termination payment, in addition to redeeming all or some of the Preferred Shares.

NOTE 10 – SECURITIES LENDING

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund loaned certain of its securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned by the Fund. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the income earned on the collateral. The Fund may pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Fund for services in arranging these loans. The Fund has the right to call the loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. The Fund does not have the right to vote the securities during the existence of the loan but could call the loan in an attempt to permit voting of the securities in certain circumstances. Upon return of the securities loaned, the cash or cash equivalent collateral will be returned to the borrower. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses, including (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period, and (c) the expenses of enforcing its rights. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Fund’s securities lending agent monitors, and reports to Calamos Advisors on, the creditworthiness of the firms to which the Fund lends securities. At April 30, 2007, the Fund had securities valued at $189,363,428 that were on loan to broker-dealers and banks and $196,272,049 in cash or cash equivalent collateral.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (the “Fund”) as of April 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the semi-annual period then ended. These interim financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such interim financial statements and financial highlights for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for each of the three years then ended and for the period from May 28, 2003 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2003; and in our report dated December 19, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.

About Closed-End Funds

What is a Closed-End Fund?

A closed-end fund is a publicly traded investment company that raises its initial investment capital through the issuance of a fixed number of shares to investors in a public offering. Shares of a closed-end fund are listed on a stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market. Like all investment companies, a closed-end fund is professionally managed and offers investors a unique investment solution based on its investment objective approved by the fund’s Board of Directors.

Potential Advantages of Closed-End Fund Investing

	•		Defined Asset Pool Allows Efficient Portfolio Management—Although closed-end fund shares trade actively on a securities exchange, this doesn’t affect the closed-end fund manager because there are no new investors buying into or selling out of the fund’s portfolio.

	•		More Flexibility in the Timing and Price of Trades—Investors can purchase and sell shares of closed-end funds throughout the trading day, just like the shares of other publicly traded securities.

	•		Lower Expense Ratios—The expense ratios of closed-end funds are oftentimes less than those of mutual funds. Over time, a lower expense ratio could enhance investment performance.

	•		Closed-End Structure Makes Sense for Less-Liquid Asset Classes—A closed-end structure makes sense for investors considering less-liquid asset classes, such as high-yield bonds or micro-cap stocks.

	•		Ability to Put Leverage to Work—Closed-end funds may issue senior securities (such as preferred stock or debentures) or borrow money to “leverage” their investment positions.

	•		No Minimum Investment Requirements

OPEN-END MUTUAL FUNDS VERSUS CLOSED-END FUNDS

Leverage

Using Leverage to Enhance Total Return

Closed-end funds can use leverage which utilizes borrowed money in an attempt to increase the return on invested capital. The Fund invests the borrowed assets into securities, which we believe will provide a greater total return to investors than the cost of the borrowing.

Highlights on Leverage

	•		Leveraging the portfolio allows the investment team to potentially enhance the income and total returns of the Fund.

	•		In a rising-rate environment, the cost of leverage typically increases. To protect against increases, the investment team has locked in the cost of leverage for a longer term. In leveraged closed-end funds that invest in interest-rate sensitive securities (high-quality traditional fixed income), rising rates can negatively impact a fund in two ways: increasing the cost of leverage and decreasing the value of securities.

	•		This portfolio does not have notable sensitivity to rising interest rates. Much of the cost of leverage has been locked in, and the portfolio seeks to invest in securities that should be more economically sensitive and less interest rate-sensitive.

Managing the Interest Rate Risk of Leverage

In general, leverage can expose a closed-end fund to the risk of fluctuations in short-term interest rates. As we discussed in the Investment Team Interview, Calamos Advisors has taken steps to mitigate some of this risk to our shareholders. Specifically, we hedged the Fund’s preferred shares (used these shares as principal) to enter into interest rate swap agreements. In its simplest form, an interest rate swap involves two parties agreeing to exchange or “swap” one set of cash flows for another set. In essence, the agreement allows a party that desires to avoid a variable rate (the Fund) to pay a fixed rate to a party that desires variability.

Under these agreements, the Fund pays a potentially higher rate for borrowing initially, but that rate is fixed for a period of three to five years, thereby potentially reducing the interest costs that the Fund would otherwise pay over the period based on a floating or variable rate.


30		Convertible and High Income Fund SEMIANNUAL REPORT Leverage

Level Rate Distribution Policy

Using a Level Rate Distribution Policy to Promote Dependable Income and Total Return

The goal of the level rate distribution policy is to provide investors a predictable, though not assured, level of cash flow, which can either serve as a stable income stream or, through reinvestment, contribute significantly to long-term total return.

We understand the importance that investors place on the stability of dividends and their ability to contribute to long-term total return, which is why we have instituted a level rate distribution policy for the Fund. Under the policy, monthly distributions paid may include net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and, if necessary, return of capital. In addition, a limited number of distributions per calendar year may include net realized long-term capital gains. There is no guarantee that the Fund will realize capital gains in any given year. Distributions are subject to re-characterization for tax purposes after the end of the fiscal year. All shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for distributions via Form 1099-DIV.

Distributions from the Fund are generally subject to Federal income taxes. For purposes of maintaining the level rate distribution policy, the Fund may realize short-term capital gains on securities that, if sold at a later date, would have resulted in long-term capital gains. Maintenance of a level rate distribution policy may increase transaction and tax costs associated with the Fund.
