Dear Shareholder:

The ongoing challenges to our markets and economy from steeply escalating energy prices, the ongoing war in Iraq and rising interest rates were exacerbated in the most recent quarter by the devastating effects of Katrina, Rita and Wilma. On a humanitarian level, Calvert joined the many corporations, and individual citizens, who responded quickly with financial assistance. Further, we crafted principles in support of a sustainable rebuilding philosophy in the Gulf region (see "Katrina Principles" on www.calvert.com.)

As investors, we worked to respond to these challenges and find opportunities to add value to the Funds we manage on your behalf. Despite the difficult environment, the economy and markets have shown strength over the past 12 months, with solid advances for small, mid-sized, and large US stocks.1 Overseas stocks showed even stronger returns, reflecting the growth potential of certain European and developing markets.2

This year we've pursued a number of important initiatives: adding to our family of funds; advancing our compliance and regulatory oversight; and expanding our public commitment in areas such as board diversity and the empowerment of women in business through our year-old Calvert Women's Principles. In addition, for the first time we underwrote a four-part series for public television, "The New Heroes," which highlights the work of leading social entrepreneurs--talented individuals who exemplify the "power of one" to drive positive social change in their communities. At Calvert, we remain committed to making a difference through our specialized investment management approach and our leadership on issues of importance to the communities we serve.

Additions to our Fund Family

Through market ups and downs, effective portfolio diversification3 has proven the most important factor in helping investors meet their long-term financial goals. That's why we at Calvert are committed to offering diverse investment products, and we encourage you to work with your financial advisor to develop an asset allocation strategy that's right for your situation.

Over the reporting period, we've added several new funds, in important asset class categories, to our family of funds. Calvert Small Cap Value Fund and Calvert Mid Cap Value Fund were introduced in October 2004. Channing Capital Management is sub-advisor for the funds, led by veteran value manager Eric McKissack, CFA, and his three-person investment team -- who together have more than 40 years of investment experience. Both funds pursue an intrinsic-value investment strategy that seeks temporarily out-of-favor companies with strong management teams and competitive products.

In April 2005 we launched Calvert Conservative and Moderate Allocation Funds, followed in June with Calvert Aggressive Allocation Fund. These "Funds of Funds" invest in up to 11 underlying Calvert funds, offering broad asset class diversification in one convenient investment. In developing the Funds, we teamed with Ibbotson Associates, an independent asset allocation consultant.

Our value and allocation funds feature Double Diligence,TM Calvert's two-tiered research process that evaluates companies for both financial strength and corporate responsibility.

Advancing Our Regulatory Oversight

As you may be aware, 2004 was a significant year for mutual fund industry reform, which continues in 2005. The SEC issued new regulations for mutual fund companies on many fronts, governing codes of ethics, compliance programs, and disclosure requirements.

To further strengthen our compliance operations, we've restructured our Compliance Department, adding several positions and promoting Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 19 years, to Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds. Formerly Senior Vice President of Client Services, Karen has overall compliance responsibility for the Funds and will develop and administer Fund policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of federal securities laws.

Calvert Issues Sustainability Report

We decided to examine our own corporate practices and policies this past year, and subsequently published our first Sustainability Report using Global Reporting Initiative or GRI guidelines. The 50-page report details Calvert's economic, social, and environmental performance and is available at www.calvert.com.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

We believe our disciplined investment process--which includes an emphasis on diversified portfolios--can lead to lower risk and competitive long-term performance relative to our peers. Calvert encourages you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, as well as the guidance to create and maintain a thoughtful investment strategy.

As Calvert enters its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.

Social Update
from the Calvert Social Research Department

Shareholder Activism

Calvert continues to encourage our portfolio companies to become even better corporate citizens, particularly in the area of governance, through shareholder resolutions. During this reporting period, we filed 28 shareholder resolutions, 18 of which resulted in successful discussions with the companies.

Corporate Board Diversity

For Calvert, board diversity is a major area of focus. Women -- who account for nearly half the US workforce, college graduates, and talent pool -- occupy just 14% of Fortune 1000 company board seats, while African Americans hold just 3% of those seats and Hispanics only 1%. Most of our shareholder resolutions for the reporting period were focused on corporate board diversity (of 12 resolutions, seven were withdrawn because the companies agreed to add a diverse member and/or adopt our charter language), and these efforts continue. We also sent letters to roughly 120 companies urging adoption of new charter language for their board-nominations committees requiring consideration of diverse candidates.

In addition, we filed resolutions on executive compensation, non-discrimination in sexual orientation, climate change, disclosure and reporting, and contributions to political organizations and campaigns. (For more information about these initiatives, see Shareholder Advocacy at www.calvert.com/sri_648.html.)

Community Investments

Several Calvert Funds participate in our community investing program, administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. The program allocates a very small portion (1-3%) of Fund assets, at below-market rates to investments that promote social justice. During this reporting period, the program made several investments, including one in the Kentucky-based Housing Assistance Council, which supports low-income borrowers who seek financing for a home.

ESIF Transparency Guidelines

Calvert became the first US-based asset management firm to sign on to the new Transparency Guidelines promulgated by the European Social Investment Forum. The guidelines were designed for use by retail SRI funds to provide more disclosure and increased accountability to investors.

Calvert Sustainability Report

As an organization that embraces and encourages other companies to embrace corporate transparency, Calvert has examined our own corporate practices and policies. You'll find our 50-page report detailing our economic, social, and environmental performance practices at www.calvert.com/pdf/gri_sustainability.pdf.

Calvert Principles

Calvert has developed what are being called the "Katrina Principles" -- ways to consider investment in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast that respect best practices in redevelopment. (See our special report, "Learning from Katrina," at www.calvert.com/katrina.html.)

We're also pleased that the Calvert Women's Principles -- our groundbreaking, one-year-old code of corporate conduct focusing on gender equality and women's empowerment -- were formally endorsed by both Starbucks and Dell. To learn more, see the special report Calvert Women's Principles at www.calvert.com.

 

 

Portfolio Management Discussion

Paul A. Radomski

Michael E. Schroer

of Renaissance Investment Management

Performance

For the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2005, Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund Class A shares at NAV, returned 0.64%, while the benchmark Russell 2000(R) Index returned 17.95%. The Fund's underperformance was due largely to individual stock selection (particularly in the Consumer Discretionary sector), rather than to sector allocation.

New Sub-advisor

On June 8, 2005, the Trustees of the Fund approved the appointment of Renaissance Investment Management as the new Fund sub-advisor. Renaissance was selected based on their expertise as a small-cap core manager, disciplined investment process, long-term track record, and commitment to socially responsible investing. The small-cap portfolio management team has depth of industry experience (18+ years) and long tenure with the firm. In terms of their investment process, Renaissance applies quantitative and qualitative analyses to a large universe of small-cap stocks that results in a large "buy list" for the Fund.

Using Calvert's Double DiligenceTM process, Renaissance seeks attractive potential investments in well-managed firms by examining companies both financially and in terms of corporate responsibility. Calvert believes that the firm's disciplined, model-driven approach and synergy with Calvert's process will reward investors over the long term.

Investment Climate

As evidenced by the 17.95% return posted by the Russell 2000(R) Index, small-cap stocks performed well over the reporting period. The lion's share of that strong performance was realized in the fourth quarter of 2004 -- the first quarter of the Fund's fiscal year -- when the Russell 2000 Index rose 14.09%. That quarter's strong performance was part of a broader market run up, spurred on by a seeming break in the price of crude oil and the resolution of the US presidential election. When oil prices renewed their upward climb in early 2005, non-energy-related stocks gave ground. The Russell 2000 Index had its worst quarterly performance for the 12-month reporting period during the first quarter of 2005, when it lost 5.34% of its value. In mid-spring 2005, oil prices seemed to back off again, and markets improved, with non-energy-related sectors generally performing well. Energy prices resumed their upward trend in the summer and spiked as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita shut down oil wells and blocked oil shipments. However, many of the sectors that had fared well during the earlier slump in energy prices continued to perform well in spite of the run up in oil and other energy prices.

Portfolio Strategy

While energy stocks were the story for the market in general, the Fund's exposure to energy-related securities had little impact on performance relative to our benchmark. The Integrated Oils sector is a very minor component of the small-cap market. Most small-cap energy stocks are in Other Energy, the best-performing sector in both the Fund and the benchmark during the reporting period. There, the Fund was modestly overweight to the sector relative to the benchmark, providing an overall positive contribution.

Stock selection in several sectors drove Fund underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the reporting period. Fully half of the underperformance came from selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector. This was also typically the Fund's largest sector exposure through the period. Within this sector, earnings problems associated with three stocks accounted for much of the weak performance. SIRVA, a provider of global relocation services, disappointed investors with weak earnings and was the individual stock that contributed most to Fund underperformance. Technical services provider Startek Technologies declined steeply when its president resigned in February and continued to decline with weaker-than-expected earnings reports. Movie Gallery, a firm that operates movie rental outlets and video game stores, suffered a drop in rentals which it blamed on the lack of good movies coming out of Hollywood. The firm announced the closing of several unprofitable video game stores.

Underperformance in Health Care was the next most significant drag on Fund performance during the reporting period. Several stocks in the sector suffered setbacks in the closing quarter of the period. Centene Corporation suffered as part of an industry-wide sell off, as investors became concerned that companies providing health care services to Medicaid patients were overvalued and vulnerable to higher-than-expected costs. Kindred Healthcare declined when it released disappointing quarterly earnings, well below analysts' expectations. Laserscope declined because of new competitive pressures in the medical laser field, and LCA-Vision appears to have suffered from the perception that consumers would cut back on discretionary spending, including medical procedures such as laser eye surgery that are not conventionally covered by insurers.

Outlook

Our long-term market outlook remains optimistic, though we are prepared to encounter some short-term volatility. The Federal Reserve appears remains committed to restraining inflation, a position that is clearly a long-term positive for stocks but will probably result in more short-term negatives for the economy and the markets. The effects of higher energy prices and the Gulf coast hurricanes are also likely to result in slower economic growth over the next several quarters. Even so, the valuation picture for most stocks remains attractive, and we are optimistic that corporate earnings growth will continue to be positive through the remainder of this year and next year.

Although small-cap stocks have experienced several strong years of outperformance relative to large- and mid-cap stocks,1 we believe this trend is likely eventually to reverse given economic conditions and the cyclical nature of the markets. In terms of the Fund's performance, we have sold the stocks that were the largest contributors to underperformance and feel confident that our disciplined, quantitative strategy can reward investors going forward.

Performance Comparison

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment. (Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.)

 

 

*Note Regarding Class I Shares Total Returns: There were times during the reporting period when there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of reporting Average Annual Total Return, Class A performance at NAV (i.e. does not reflect deduction of the Class A front-end sales charge) is used during these periods in which there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of this Average Annual Total Return, the Class A performance at NAV was used during the periods January 18, 2002 through January 30, 2003 and March 12, 2003 through July 31, 2003.

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics above and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's maximum front-end or deferred sales charge. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. However, the Lipper average does reflect the deduction of the category's average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in Class A & C shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another class of shares would be different. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

 

 

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees of The Calvert Fund and Shareholders of Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund, a series of The Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated November 16, 2001.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. As to securities purchased or sold but not yet received or delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund as of September 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A -- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The operation of each series is accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the Fund's net asset value is determined, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2005, securities valued at $1,015,807, or 0.5% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium. Risks from writing or purchasing option securities arise from possible illiquidity of the options market and the movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U. S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within five days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such a deposit arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .75% based on the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $137,302 was payable at year end. In addition, $69,464 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2005.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2006 for Class I. The contractual expense cap is .92%. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor's obligation under the contractual limitation is reduced and the Advisor benefits from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Administrative Services Company ("CASC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .25% for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares and .10% for Class I shares based on their average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $41,742 was payable at year end. For the year ended September 30, 2005, CASC waived $21,983 of its fee.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A, Class B and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .25%, 1.00% and 1.00% annually of average daily net assets of each Class A, Class B and Class C, respectively. Class I does not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $71,815 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $70,245 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received fees of $162,762 for the year ended September 30, 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, $10,989 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

The Fund may invest in Community Investment Notes issued by the Calvert Social Investment Foundation (the "CSI Foundation"). The CSI Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives in-kind support from the Calvert Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Fund has received from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order permitting the Fund to make investments in these notes under certain conditions.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $25,000 plus $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Trustees fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $424,487,058 and $471,244,996, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2005 for federal income tax purposes was $220,693,352. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $948,553, of which $13,444,944 related to appreciated securities and $12,496,391 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $571,370 (from Calvert Social Investment Fund Technology Portfolio) at September 30, 2005 may be available, subject to certain tax limitations, to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2010.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2005, and September 30, 2004 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

As of September 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$0

Undistributed long term capital gain

22,124,588

Capital loss Carryforward

(571,370)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

948,553

 

$22,501,771

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to the disallowance of net operating losses and the tax treatment of foreign currency gains (losses) and real estate investment trusts.

Undistributed net investment income

$1,128,596

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

56,930

Paid in capital

(1,185,526)

The difference between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets is primarily due to the capital loss limitations from the merger with the Calvert Social Investment Fund Technology Portfolio.

The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Securities Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2005, such purchases and sales transactions were $0 and $5,008,462, respectively.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC"). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had $13,460 of outstanding borrowing at an interest rate of 4.4375% at September 30, 2005. For the year ended September 30, 2005, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fee, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Proxy Voting

The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund's website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. 

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

The Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Renaissance Investment Management, Inc. ("Subadvisor" or "Renaissance") with respect to the Fund on June 8, 2005.

The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Trustees reviewed information provided by CAMCO and the Subadvisor relating to the Subadvisor's operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other things, CAMCO and the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for the Subadvisor, and descriptions of the Subadvisor's investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board of Trustees approved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor's ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be rendered by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor's personnel; the Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor's compliance systems including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. In addition, the Trustees considered certain information received in connection with, and their deliberations with respect to their December 2004 renewal of the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Awad Asset Management and the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund under the proposed Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Renaissance.

In considering the Subadvisor's comparable performance with similarly managed funds and non-mutual fund accounts, the Board noted the Subadvisor's strong long-term performance record. Among other performance information presented to the Trustees, the Board noted that the small cap growth funds and accounts managed by the Subadvisor have outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the one-year, three-year and five year-periods ended March 31, 2005 and had consistently strong rankings among Lipper Small Cap Core peers over this same period.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted that the fees under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that the Advisor receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and also noted that the advisory fees paid by the Fund would not change. The Trustees also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the fees thereunder at arm's length. The Trustees also took into account the Subadvisor's initial undertaking to waive a portion of its subadvisory fee, as well as the level of fees that the Subadvisor charges its other clients for providing comparable advisory services. Based upon their review, the Board of Trustees determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. For each of the above reasons, the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in the Trustees' deliberations. For similar reasons, the Trustees did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor's management of the Fund to be a material factor in their consideration at this time.

In approving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee attributed different weight to various factors.

Conclusions

The Board of Trustees reached the following conclusions regarding the Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; (b) the Subadvisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the Subadvisor's investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of the Fund; and (d) the subadvisory fees to be paid to the Subadvisor are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Subadvisor. Based on their conclusions, the Board of Trustees determined that approval of the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

The ongoing challenges to our markets and economy from steeply escalating energy prices, the ongoing war in Iraq and rising interest rates were exacerbated in the most recent quarter by the devastating effects of Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Calvert responded to these events both with humanitarian and financial assistance and by crafting the "Katrina Principles" (learn more at www.calvert.com) that serve as guidelines to support sustainable rebuilding in the Gulf region.

Despite the difficult environment, the economy and fixed-income markets have shown strength over the past 12 months. Money market funds provided higher yields, in step with Federal Reserve short-term rate increases. The Fed has continued its policy of quarter-point rate increases since June 2004, steadily raising rates to offset potential inflation. Despite higher short-term rates, however, yields on intermediate- and long-term bond funds generally remained flat, generating positive returns from income and price appreciation. Of course, typically, as interest rates rise, bond prices--and the value of bond funds--decline. As a result, many bond fund investors wonder whether this trend can continue and where the market is headed over the next year.

Confidence in our Fixed-Income Strategy

While no one can answer this question definitively, we believe that during challenging times such as these it's wise to stay the course with a long-term, diversified asset allocation strategy. We believe, and we think your advisor would agree, that bond funds are an essential element of any diversified portfolio, providing a stabilizing anchor to historically more volatile stock funds.

Calvert's expertise in the fixed-income markets spans nearly 30 years, covering virtually every type of interest-rate environment. Over this period, our management team has refined its investment process that includes four key strategic components, which we refer to collectively as FourSight.™ This flexible process for seeking solid investments in any type of market includes: managing duration, monitoring the yield curve, optimizing sector allocation, and analyzing credit quality.

From short to long, Calvert's fixed income funds follow this disciplined FourSight approach. Indeed, the combination of solid performance and fixed-income management expertise has attracted media attention for Calvert's investment strategies in Barron's, the Los Angeles Times, Dow Jones Newswires and Standard & Poor's.1

Calvert Initiatives

This year we've pursued a number of important initiatives: adding to our family of funds; advancing our compliance and regulatory oversight; and expanding our public commitment in areas such as board diversity and the empowerment of women in business through our year-old Calvert Women's Principles. In addition, for the first time we underwrote a four-part series for public television, "The New Heroes," which highlights the work of leading social entrepreneurs--talented individuals who exemplify the "power of one" to drive positive social change in their communities. At Calvert, we remain committed to making a difference through our specialized investment management approach and our leadership on issues of importance to the communities we serve.

Advancing Our Regulatory Oversight

As you may be aware, 2004 was a significant year for mutual fund industry reform, which continues in 2005. The SEC issued new regulations for mutual fund companies on many fronts, governing codes of ethics, compliance programs, and disclosure requirements.

To further strengthen our compliance operations, we've restructured our Compliance Department, adding several positions and promoting Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 19 years, to Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds. Formerly Senior Vice President of Client Services, Karen has overall compliance responsibility for the Funds and will develop and administer Fund policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of federal securities laws.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

We believe our disciplined investment process -- which includes an emphasis on diversified portfolios -- can lead to lower risk and competitive long-term performance relative to our peers. Of course, we recommend the same long-term, diversified and disciplined approach to our shareholders.

Calvert encourages you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, as well as the guidance to create and maintain a thoughtful investment strategy.

As Calvert enters its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.

Portfolio Management Discussion

of Calvert Asset Management Company

 

Performance

Calvert Income Fund Class A shares at NAV produced a total return of 3.95% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2005. The benchmark Lehman US Credit Index returned 2.74% for the same period.

Investment Climate

Over the reporting period, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the target Fed funds rate at each of its eight scheduled meetings. By the end of the period, the rate stood at 3.75%. Money-market interest rates, including that on the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Confounding our expectations and those of most of the market, though, was the fact that there was virtually no increase in long-term interest rates over the reporting period. The 10-year Treasury yield moved slightly higher, to 4.34%. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate rose from 5.19% to 5.91%.

The U.S. economy continued its pace of steady growth at 3.5% annualized, as measured by GDP (gross domestic product), over the first three quarters of the reporting period.2 Payroll growth was solid, averaging 193,000 new jobs monthly. Inflation rose with the headline CPI (consumer price index), up 3.6%. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 2.1%.3 Rising inflation led the FOMC to consistently address the topic of inflation in its regular monetary policy statements.

Portfolio Strategy

Our strategy reflects Calvert's FourSightTM management process, which seeks to deliver competitive results even during difficult markets. With this four-step process, we manage duration, monitor the yield curve, optimize sector allocation, and analyze credit quality. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest-rate movements.)

The Portfolio has been positioned to benefit from rising rates across the maturity spectrum (short, intermediate, and long). Our-short duration strategy detracted from performance over the reporting period. While we correctly anticipated higher short-term rates, we did not expect the rally we saw in longer-term rates.

As the FOMC continued to raise short-term rates, and as longer-term bond yields declined, the difference between yields on two-year Treasury notes and 10-year Treasury notes compressed, in what is known as a yield-curve flattening. The Fund was positioned to take advantage of this flattening, with a relative overweight to longer-maturity bonds and an underweight to bonds with shorter maturities. This strategy was a strong driver of performance into the first quarter of 2005, when we felt that most of the spread compression had been realized. For a short period during the summer, the Fund was positioned to take advantage of yet more compression between long- and short-term rates.

From a sector perspective, the Fund benefited from its significant exposure to floating-rate bonds. Interest rates for these bonds adjust based on short-term indices, which typically reset monthly or quarterly. As the FOMC lifted short-term rates, the increase in rates on our floating-rate bonds helped performance.

The Fund had a high-quality bias for the entire period, given the very low additional yield being paid for holding lower-quality bonds. However, during the period, the overweight to higher credit quality (bonds rated A and higher) hurt performance, as lower-rated securities (bonds rated BBB) generally outpaced those of higher quality. Notably, this trend began to reverse in the last quarter, with higher-quality bonds outperforming lower-rated bonds late in the period.

The Fund had exposure to both General Motors and Ford when they dropped in credit rating in early 2005, negatively impacting Fund performance. Their eventual downgrade to non-investment grade roiled the bond markets and caused a sharp drop in the value of GM and Ford bonds. We reduced the Fund's exposure to auto stocks and are now underweight to this industry given the uncertainty surrounding both companies. Our credit analysts made several excellent calls over the reporting period, as is exemplified in Land O' Lakes, whose price has moved up from $71 to over $91, more than 20 points higher than our original cost.

Outlook

Monetary policy is currently focused on restoring the target Fed funds rate to a more neutral level, i.e., neither overly accommodative nor overly restrictive. We believe the Fed funds target rate will eventually reach a minimum of 4% and would not be surprised to see it at 4.5% or more in 2006. As a result, we expect the FOMC to continue its campaign of steady rate hikes unless the economy shows signs of great strain.

Of course, much will depend on what the economic data indicate about the state of the economy going forward, especially in light of the Gulf Coast hurricanes this year. While the immediate impact of the hurricanes on the economy is difficult to assess, recent post-hurricane economic data show a pickup in manufacturing in September. High energy costs may restrain production temporarily, but we have seen the manufacturing sector continue to expand for more than two years.

Looking ahead, we are confident our four-tiered FourSightTM strategy can continue to uncover attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. We will continue to position the Fund defensively in view of rising interest rates, to monitor the yield curve, and to slightly expand our position with regard to credit quality.

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics above and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's Class A maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. No sales charge has been applied to the indices used for comparison. However, the Lipper average does reflect the deduction of the category's average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in Class A shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another Class of shares would be different. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees of The Calvert Fund and Shareholders of Calvert Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Income Fund, a series of The Calvert Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated November 16, 2001.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. As to securities purchased or sold but not yet received or delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Income Fund as of September 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A ---- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end sales charge and have a lower expense ratio than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), and at such other times as may be necessary or appropriate. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the Fund's net asset value determination, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2005, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium. Risks from writing or purchasing option securities arise from possible illiquidity of the options market and the movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts' terms.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of hedging interest rate risk. Any short sales are "covered" with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U. S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within five days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such a deposit arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives a annual fee, payable monthly based on the following annual rates of average daily net assets: .40% on the first $2 billion, and .375% over $2 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,166,333 was payable at year end. In addition, $544,265 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2005.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly.

Under the terms of the agreement, $863,236 was payable at year end.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A, B and C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50%, 1.00% and 1.00% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A, B and C, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,127,309 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $649,103 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $610,672 for the year ended September 30, 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, $50,789, was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $25,000 plus up to $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $6,512,938,199 and $6,106,857,519, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $16,154,047,522 and $15,804,516,454, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2005 for federal income tax purposes was $3,663,116,631. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $50,676,230, of which $37,780,292 related to appreciated securities and $88,456,522 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2005, and September 30, 2004 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2005

2004

Ordinary income

$133,600,933

$165,766,276

Long term capital gain

51,586,411

22,476,984

Total

$185,187,344

$188,243,260

 

As of September 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows

Undistributed ordinary income

$12,658,007

Undistributed long-term capital gain

37,350,443

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(50,676,230)

 

($667,780)

 

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary differences causing such reclassifications are due to the recharacterization of distributions and the tax treatment of the currency gains and losses, asset-backed securities and tax-exempt income.

Undistributed net investment income

$455,878

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(803,735)

Paid in capital

347,857

 

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to wash sales and the tax treatment of Section 1256 contracts.

The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2005, such purchase and sales transactions were $455,914,165 and $472,198,622, respectively. The sales transactions resulted in a net realized loss of $16,682 to the Fund.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC"). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2005. For the year ended September 30, 2005, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

 

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund's website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Dear Shareholder:

The ongoing challenges to our markets and economy from steeply escalating energy prices, the ongoing war in Iraq and rising interest rates were exacerbated in the most recent quarter by the devastating effects of Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Calvert responded to these events both with humanitarian and financial assistance and by crafting the "Katrina Principles" (learn more at www.calvert.com) that serve as guidelines to support sustainable rebuilding in the Gulf region.

Despite the difficult environment, the economy and fixed-income markets have shown strength over the past 12 months. Money market funds provided higher yields, in step with Federal Reserve short-term rate increases. The Fed has continued its policy of quarter-point rate increases since June 2004, steadily raising rates to offset potential inflation. Despite higher short-term rates, however, yields on intermediate- and long-term bond funds generally remained flat, generating positive returns from income and price appreciation. Of course, typically, as interest rates rise, bond prices--and the value of bond funds--decline. As a result, many bond fund investors wonder whether this trend can continue and where the market is headed over the next year.

Confidence in our Fixed-Income Strategy

While no one can answer this question definitively, we believe that during challenging times such as these it's wise to stay the course with a long-term, diversified asset allocation strategy. We believe, and we think your advisor would agree, that bond funds are an essential element of any diversified portfolio, providing a stabilizing anchor to historically more volatile stock funds.

Calvert's expertise in the fixed-income markets spans nearly 30 years, covering virtually every type of interest-rate environment. Over this period, our management team has refined its investment process that includes four key strategic components, which we refer to collectively as FourSight.TM This flexible process for seeking solid investments in any type of market includes: managing duration, monitoring the yield curve, optimizing sector allocation, and analyzing credit quality.

From short to long, Calvert's fixed income funds follow this disciplined FourSight approach. Indeed, the combination of solid performance and fixed-income management expertise has attracted media attention for Calvert's investment strategies in Barron's, the Los Angeles Times, Dow Jones Newswires and Standard & Poor's.1

Calvert Initiatives

This year we've pursued a number of important initiatives: adding to our family of funds; advancing our compliance and regulatory oversight; and expanding our public commitment in areas such as board diversity and the empowerment of women in business through our year-old Calvert Women's Principles. In addition, for the first time we underwrote a four-part series for public television, "The New Heroes," which highlights the work of leading social entrepreneurs--talented individuals who exemplify the "power of one" to drive positive social change in their communities. At Calvert, we remain committed to making a difference through our specialized investment management approach and our leadership on issues of importance to the communities we serve.

Advancing Our Regulatory Oversight

As you may be aware, 2004 was a significant year for mutual fund industry reform, which continues in 2005. The SEC issued new regulations for mutual fund companies on many fronts, governing codes of ethics, compliance programs, and disclosure requirements.

To further strengthen our compliance operations, we've restructured our Compliance Department, adding several positions and promoting Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 19 years, to Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds. Formerly Senior Vice President of Client Services, Karen has overall compliance responsibility for the Funds and will develop and administer Fund policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of federal securities laws.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

We believe our disciplined investment process -- which includes an emphasis on diversified portfolios -- can lead to lower risk and competitive long-term performance relative to our peers. Of course, we recommend the same long-term, diversified and disciplined approach to our shareholders.

Calvert encourages you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, as well as the guidance to create and maintain a thoughtful investment strategy.

As Calvert enters its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

 

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek

Calvert Group, Ltd.

Portfolio Management Discussion

 

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager

Matt Nottingham, CFA
Portfolio Manager

of Calvert Asset Management Company

Performance

Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class A shares at NAV produced a total return of 3.25% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2005. The benchmark Lehman 1-5 Year Credit Index returned 1.19% for the same period.

Investment Climate

Over the reporting period, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the target Fed funds rate at each of its eight scheduled meetings. By the end of the period, the rate stood at 3.75%. Money-market interest rates, including that on the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Confounding our expectations and those of most of the market, though, was the fact that there was virtually no increase in long-term interest rates over the reporting period. The 10-year Treasury yield moved slightly higher, to 4.34%. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate rose from 5.19% to 5.91%.

The U.S. economy continued its pace of steady growth at 3.5% annualized, as measured by GDP (gross domestic product), over the first three quarters of the reporting period.2 Payroll growth was solid, averaging 193,000 new jobs monthly. Inflation rose with the headline CPI (consumer price index), up 3.6%. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 2.1%.3 Rising inflation led the FOMC to consistently address the topic of inflation in its regular monetary policy statements.

Portfolio Strategy

Our strategy reflects Calvert's FourSightTM management process, which seeks to deliver competitive results even during difficult markets. With this four-step process, we manage duration, monitor the yield curve, optimize sector allocation, and analyze credit quality. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest-rate movements.)

As the FOMC continued to raise short-term rates, and as longer-term bond yields declined, the difference between yields on two-year Treasury notes and 10-year Treasury notes compressed, in what is known as a yield-curve flattening. The Fund was positioned to take advantage of this flattening, with a relative overweight to longer-maturity bonds and an underweight to bonds with shorter maturities. This strategy was a strong driver of performance into the first quarter of 2005, when we felt that most of the spread compression had been realized. For a short period during the summer, the Fund was positioned to take advantage of yet more compression between long- and short-term rates.

The Fund's short-duration strategy detracted from performance over the reporting period. While we correctly anticipated higher short-term rates, we did not expect the rally we saw in longer-term rates.

From a sector perspective, the Fund benefited from its significant exposure to floating-rate bonds. Interest rates for these bonds adjust based on short-term indices, which typically reset monthly or quarterly. As the FOMC lifted short-term rates, the increase in rates on our floating-rate bonds helped performance.

The Fund had a high-quality bias for the entire period, given the very low additional yield being paid for holding lower-quality bonds. This strategy hurt performance in the first half of the period, but for the full period was an overall positive for returns. An exception to this pattern were high-yield bonds, which outpaced all other credit sectors as investors continued to stretch for yield. The Fund's allocation to high-yield bonds was a positive contributor to performance.

The Fund had exposure to both General Motors and Ford when their credit ratings dropped in early 2005, negatively affecting Fund performance. Their eventual downgrade to non-investment grade roiled the bond markets and caused a sharp drop in the value of GM and Ford bonds. We reduced the Fund's exposure to auto stocks and are now underweight to this industry given the uncertainty surrounding both companies.

Outlook

Monetary policy is currently focused on restoring the target Fed funds rate to a more neutral level, i.e., neither overly accommodative nor overly restrictive. We believe the Fed funds target rate will eventually reach a minimum of 4% and would not be surprised to see it at 4.5% or more in 2006. As a result, we expect the FOMC to continue its campaign of steady rate hikes unless the economy shows signs of great strain.

Of course, much will depend on what the economic data indicate about the state of the economy going forward, especially in light of the Gulf Coast hurricanes this year. While the immediate impact of the hurricanes on the economy is difficult to assess, recent post-hurricane economic data show a pickup in manufacturing in September. High energy costs may restrain production temporarily, but we have seen the manufacturing sector continue to expand for more than two years.

Looking ahead, we are confident our four-tiered FourSightTM strategy can continue to uncover attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. We will continue to position the Fund defensively in view of rising interest rates, to monitor the yield curve, and to slightly expand our position with regard to credit quality.

October 2005

Performance Comparison

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment. (Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.)

 

 

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics above and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's Class A maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. However, the Lipper average does reflect the deduction of the category's average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in Class A shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another Class of shares would be different. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

 

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges; redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. As to securities purchased or sold but not yet received or delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Short Duration Income Fund as of September 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three year period then ended and the period from January 31, 2002 (inception) through September 30, 2002, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A ---- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Short Duration Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund, which commenced operations on January 31, 2002, currently offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. Effective October 1, 2002, the Fund began to offer Class C shares. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales change and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have a higher expense ratio than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end sales charge and have a lower expense ratio than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the Fund's net asset value is determined, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2005 no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium. Risks from writing or purchasing option securities arise from possible illiquidity of the options market and the movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts' terms.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of hedging interest rate risk. Any short sales are "covered" with an equivalent amount of high quality, liquid securities.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U. S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within five days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such a deposit arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .35% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2006. The contractual expense cap is 1.08% for Class A. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor benefits from the expense offset arrangement and the Advisor's obligation under the contractual limitation is reduced by the credits earned.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly. Class A and Class C shares pay an annual rate of .30% and Class I shares pay an annual rate of .10%, based on their average daily net assets.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% and 1.00% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

The Distributor received $48,548 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $38,464 for the year ended September 30, 2005. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $25,000 plus up to $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $499,041,673 and $431,300,328, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $730,045,618 and $725,699,874, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2005 for federal income tax purposes was $241,439,382. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $1,103,876 of which $578,705 related to appreciated securities and $1,682,581 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2005, and September 30, 2004 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

 

2005

2004

Ordinary income

$8,758,817

$7,958,466

Long term capital gain

472,742

343,461

Total

$9,231,559

$8,301,927

As of September 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$1,799,586

Undistributed long-term capital gain

390,339

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(1,103,876)

 

$1,086,049

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary differences causing such reclassifications are due to the recharacterization of distributions and the tax treatment of the currency gains and losses and asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

$22,458

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(22,458)

 

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to wash sales and the tax treatment of Section 1256 contracts.

The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2005, such sales transactions were $4,250,275, which resulted in a net realized gain of $275 to the fund.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC"). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2005. For the year ended September 30, 2005, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund's website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Dear Shareholder:

The ongoing challenges to our markets and economy from steeply escalating energy prices, the ongoing war in Iraq and rising interest rates were exacerbated in the most recent quarter by the devastating effects of Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Calvert responded to these events both with humanitarian and financial assistance and by crafting the "Katrina Principles" (learn more at www.calvert.com) that serve as guidelines to support sustainable rebuilding in the Gulf region.

Despite the difficult environment, the economy and fixed-income markets have shown strength over the past 12 months. Money market funds provided higher yields, in step with Federal Reserve short-term rate increases. The Fed has continued its policy of quarter-point rate increases since June 2004, steadily raising rates to offset potential inflation. Despite higher short-term rates, however, yields on intermediate- and long-term bond funds generally remained flat, generating positive returns from income and price appreciation. Of course, typically, as interest rates rise, bond prices--and the value of bond funds--decline. As a result, many bond fund investors wonder whether this trend can continue and where the market is headed over the next year.

Confidence in our Fixed-Income Strategy

While no one can answer this question definitively, we believe that during challenging times such as these it's wise to stay the course with a long-term, diversified asset allocation strategy. We believe, and we think your advisor would agree, that bond funds are an essential element of any diversified portfolio, providing a stabilizing anchor to historically more volatile stock funds.

Calvert's expertise in the fixed-income markets spans nearly 30 years, covering virtually every type of interest-rate environment. Over this period, our management team has refined its investment process that includes four key strategic components, which we refer to collectively as FourSight.TM This flexible process for seeking solid investments in any type of market includes: managing duration, monitoring the yield curve, optimizing sector allocation, and analyzing credit quality.

From short to long, Calvert's fixed income funds follow this disciplined FourSight approach. Indeed, the combination of solid performance and fixed-income management expertise has attracted media attention for Calvert's investment strategies in Barron's, the Los Angeles Times, Dow Jones Newswires and Standard & Poor's.1

Calvert Initiatives

This year we've pursued a number of important initiatives: adding to our family of funds; advancing our compliance and regulatory oversight; and expanding our public commitment in areas such as board diversity and the empowerment of women in business through our year-old Calvert Women's Principles. In addition, for the first time we underwrote a four-part series for public television, "The New Heroes," which highlights the work of leading social entrepreneurs--talented individuals who exemplify the "power of one" to drive positive social change in their communities. At Calvert, we remain committed to making a difference through our specialized investment management approach and our leadership on issues of importance to the communities we serve.

Advancing Our Regulatory Oversight

As you may be aware, 2004 was a significant year for mutual fund industry reform, which continues in 2005. The SEC issued new regulations for mutual fund companies on many fronts, governing codes of ethics, compliance programs, and disclosure requirements.

To further strengthen our compliance operations, we've restructured our Compliance Department, adding several positions and promoting Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 19 years, to Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds. Formerly Senior Vice President of Client Services, Karen has overall compliance responsibility for the Funds and will develop and administer Fund policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of federal securities laws.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

We believe our disciplined investment process -- which includes an emphasis on diversified portfolios -- can lead to lower risk and competitive long-term performance relative to our peers. Of course, we recommend the same long-term, diversified and disciplined approach to our shareholders.

Calvert encourages you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, as well as the guidance to create and maintain a thoughtful investment strategy.

As Calvert enters its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager

Matt Nottingham, CFA
Portfolio Manager

of Calvert Asset Management Company

Performance

For the nine-month period since the Fund's inception on December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2005, Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A shares at NAV returned 5.29%. The benchmark Lehman Long US Credit Index returned 2.90% for the same period.

Investment Climate

Over the nine-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the target Fed funds rate at each of its six scheduled meetings. By the end of the period, the rate stood at 3.75%. Money-market interest rates, including that on the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Confounding our expectations and those of most of the market, though, was the fact that there was virtually no increase in long-term interest rates over the reporting period. The 10-year Treasury yield moved slightly higher, to 4.34%. Year-to-date through September 30, 2005, the 30-year Treasury yield fell to 4.57% from 4.83%.

The U.S. economy continued its pace of steady growth at 3.5% annualized, as measured by GDP (gross domestic product), over the first three quarters of the reporting period.2 Payroll growth was solid, averaging over 190,000 new jobs monthly. Inflation rose with the headline CPI (consumer price index), up 3.6%. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 2.1%.3 Rising inflation led the FOMC to consistently address the topic of inflation in its regular monetary policy statements.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund's strategy reflects Calvert's FourSightTM management process, which seeks to deliver competitive results even during difficult markets. With this four-step process, we manage duration, monitor the yield curve, optimize sector allocation, and analyze credit quality. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest-rate movements.)

The Fund has been positioned to benefit from rising rates across the maturity spectrum (short, intermediate, and long). Our short-duration strategy detracted from performance over the reporting period. While we correctly anticipated higher short-term rates, we did not expect the rally we saw in longer-term rates. Long-maturity securities significantly outpaced shorter-maturity bonds, and the Fund's underweight to longer-term securities hurt performance.

As the FOMC continued to raise short-term rates, and as longer-term bond yields declined, the difference between yields on two-year Treasury notes and 10-year Treasury notes compressed, in what is known as a yield-curve flattening. The Fund was positioned to take advantage of this flattening, with a relative overweight to longer-maturity bonds and an underweight to bonds with shorter maturities. This strategy was a strong driver of performance into the first quarter of 2005, when we felt that most of the spread compression had been realized. For a short period during the summer, the Fund was positioned to take advantage of yet more compression between long- and short-term rates.

From a sector perspective, the Fund benefited from its significant exposure to floating-rate bonds. Interest rates for these bonds adjust based on short-term indices, which typically reset monthly or quarterly. As the FOMC lifted short-term rates, the increase in rates on our floating-rate bonds helped performance.

The Fund had a high-quality bias for the entire period, given the very low additional yield being paid for holding lower-quality bonds. This strategy hurt performance in the first half of the period, but for the full period was an overall positive for returns. An exception to this pattern were high-yield bonds, which outpaced all other credit sectors as investors continued to stretch for yield. The Fund's allocation to high-yield bonds was a positive contributor to performance.

The Fund had exposure to both General Motors and Ford when their credit ratings dropped in early 2005, negatively affecting Fund performance. Their eventual downgrade to non-investment grade roiled the bond markets and caused a sharp drop in the value of GM and Ford bonds. We reduced the Fund's exposure to auto stocks and are now underweight to this industry given the uncertainty surrounding both companies. Our credit analysts made several excellent calls over the reporting period, as is exemplified in Land O' Lakes, whose price has moved up from our original cost of $71 to over $91 per bond.

Outlook

Monetary policy is currently focused on restoring the target Fed funds rate to a more neutral level, i.e., neither overly accommodative nor overly restrictive. We believe the Fed funds target rate will eventually reach a minimum of 4% and would not be surprised to see it at 4.5% or more in 2006. As a result, we expect the FOMC to continue its campaign of steady rate hikes unless the economy shows signs of great strain.

Of course, much will depend on what the economic data indicate about the state of the economy going forward, especially in light of the Gulf Coast hurricanes this year. While the immediate impact of the hurricanes on the economy is difficult to assess, recent post-hurricane economic data show a pickup in manufacturing in September. High energy costs may restrain production temporarily, but we have seen the manufacturing sector continue to expand for more than two years.

Looking ahead, we are confident our four-tiered FourSightTM strategy can continue to uncover attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. We will continue to position the Fund defensively in view of rising interest rates, to monitor the yield curve, and to slightly expand our position with regard to credit quality.

Performance Comparison

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment. (Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.)

 

 

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics above and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's Class A maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. No sales charge has been applied to the indices used for comparison. The value of an investment in Class A shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another Class of shares would be different. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (inception date April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A ---- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2004. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the Fund's net asset value determination, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2005, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium. Risks from writing or purchasing option securities arise from possible illiquidity of the options market and the movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts' terms.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of hedging interest rate risk. Any short sales are "covered" with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U. S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such a deposit arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an annual rate of .40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2006. The contractual expense cap is 1.25%. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor's obligation under the contractual limitation is reduced and the Advisor benefits from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .30% of the average daily net assets.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. The Distribution Plan, adopted by Class A shares, allows the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A.

The Distributor received $2,674 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the period ended September 30, 2005.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $201 for the period ended September 30, 2005. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $25,000 plus up to $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

On March 30, 2005, the Advisor voluntarily contributed $2,658 to the Fund to reimburse the effect of a realized loss caused by a trading error. This transaction was deemed a "payment by affiliate."

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the period, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $6,907,884 and $5,845,981, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $5,454,374 and $4,896,405, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2005 for federal income tax purposes was $1,656,189. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $8,873, of which $8,934 related to appreciated securities and $17,807 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended September 30, 2005 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2005

Ordinary income

$25,379

Total

$25,379

 

As of September 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed income

$39,484

Capital loss carryforward

--

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(8,873)

 

$30,611

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary difference causing such reclassifications is due to the tax treatment of asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

$62

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(62)

 

The difference between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets is primarily due to wash sales.

The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the period ended September 30, 2005, purchase and sales transactions were $467,790 and $307,981, respectively. Net realized loss on the sale of securities was $7,447.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC"). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the period ended September 30, 2005.

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The first N-Q filings for this Fund will be for the quarter ending December 31, 2004. The Fund's Form N-Q will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Fund makes the information on Form N-Q available to shareholders on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com.

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

On June 9, 2004, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, voted to approve amendment of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund (the "Trust") and the Advisor to add Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (the "Fund").

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board of Trustees considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Trustees considered the following factors, among other things: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services and the Advisor's operations; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's proposed advisory fee; the Advisor's performance with comparable funds; fee, expense and performance information for comparable funds; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the proposed allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor from the relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies, including those related to personal investing, anti-money laundering and disclosure of portfolio holdings; the Advisor's policies and procedures regarding the prevention of market timing and late trading; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board of Trustees considered information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other things, information on the Advisor's investment, supervisory and professional staff. The Trustees also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Trustees' familiarity with management through Board of Trustees' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Trustees considered the Advisor's management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies with comparable funds, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers of the Fund, were also considered. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Advisor's comparable performance with similarly managed funds, the Board noted the Advisor's strong long-term performance record in managing the Income Fund and the Short Duration Fund. In considering the Fund's estimated fees and expenses, the Board of Trustees compared the Fund's anticipated fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for certain funds deemed to be comparable to the Fund by the Advisor, also noting management's discussion of the relatively small universe of long-term bond funds. Among other things, the data indicated that the Fund's proposed management fee (which reflects both advisory fees and administrative service fees) was at the median of the other comparable funds selected by the Advisor and that the Fund's estimated total expenses (net of expense limitation) was above the median of the total expense ratios of such funds. The Trustees took into account the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. Based upon their review, the Board of Trustees determined that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services to be received by the Fund and the other factors considered, including the investment strategy to be utilized by the Advisor.

In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates will provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they will receive compensation. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it expects to receive with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Trustees also took into account the Advisor's initial undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor will derive reputational and other indirect benefits. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor's anticipated level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund's potential growth and size on its performance and fees. Although the Fund's advisory fee currently does not have a breakpoint that reduces the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Fund's assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses.

In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board of Trustees, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee attributed different weight to various factors.

Conclusions

The Trustees reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (d) the Advisor's investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Fund; (e) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (f) the Fund's anticipated advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund would be in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

(c) The registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that M. Charito Kruvant, an "independent" Trustee serving on the registrant's audit committee, is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant's investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members. In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance. In addition, the Committee has pre-approved the retention of the auditors to provide tax-related services related to the tax treatment and tax accounting of newly acquired securities, upon request by the investment advisor in each instance.

S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
