Young, Tanchev and Gross are based from the firm's headquarters location in Naperville, Illinois. They work closely with Calamos Wealth Management advisors both there and at the firm's offices in Florida and New York to develop, execute and monitor investment allocation strategies on behalf of the firm's clientele.
