Dear Shareholder:

Over the 12 months ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. economy and financial markets have moved solidly ahead while facing shifting pressures from fluctuating energy prices and interest rates, the ongoing war in Iraq, and a change in Federal Reserve (Fed) leadership and policies.

During the reporting period, we've also begun to see some encouraging shifts in the areas of U.S. stock market leadership as investors move from pursuing more speculative, short-term trends toward higher-quality, more fundamentally oriented investing. Many of our portfolio managers and Funds have faced significant headwinds over the last several years as certain management styles (e.g., value and small-cap) and market sectors (e.g., energy and industrials) have dominated market performance. We know you may have concerns about the performance of your Calvert Funds, and we want you to know we share your concerns and would like to address them.

A Look at Market Headwinds

Cyclical "headwinds" are a part of any investment process as economic and market trends change, and styles go in and out of favor. As long-term investors, we know that performance leadership of different styles rotates. And at Calvert, we strive to provide you with a broad array of investment options, managed by experienced money managers, so you can diversify your portfolio to weather market ups and downs. While we remain fully confident in our sub-advisors and investment process that combines rigorous financial analysis with analysis of a company's corporate responsibility practices, we are nonetheless challenged by certain sector and cyclical issues in the marketplace.

Specifically, many of Calvert's portfolio managers employ disciplines that screen for stocks that exhibit strong fundamentals--such as steady earnings growth, high returns on equity or low debt--and that are fairly priced. For many of our Funds, this fundamental financial analysis, coupled with our social screening process, leads to a bias toward more growth-oriented companies, many of which are in areas like healthcare, information technology, and the consumer discretionary sectors--areas that until recently have been underperforming.

With signs of a slowing economy and the recent outperformance of higher-quality companies with solid, long-term fundamentals, we believe a readjustment in the financial markets is underway that should benefit Calvert investors. In time, the cyclical headwinds should blow more strongly in our direction, favoring the high-quality companies with strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential that our Fund managers favor and portfolios emphasize.

Former Calvert Board Member Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

Recently, Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work in microfinance. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 to provide poor people with access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses. This award is especially significant in that it makes explicit and acknowledges the direct link between financial self-sufficiency and peace. Calvert is proud of our 10-year association with Dr. Yunus and of the role that our firm and shareholders have played in supporting Dr. Yunus's Nobel Prize-winning work in microfinance.

Advancing Regulatory Oversight

On the regulatory front, we continue to strengthen compliance operations with regard to codes of ethics, compliance programs, and SEC and NASD disclosure requirements. Our Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds, Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 20 years, has oversight of and administers all Fund policies and procedures which have been designed with the highest level of integrity.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity-- to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

Looking ahead, we believe our disciplined, research-driven investment process will lead to rewarding long-term performance for Calvert investors. We encourage you to work with a financial professional to maintain a strategic investment plan and diversified portfolio. Your advisor can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, particularly in challenging markets.

As Calvert celebrates its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products. Calvert continues to strive toward its dual goals of favorable investment results and a positive impact on corporate responsibility, 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

As a company, through the work of Calvert Social Research Department, and through our unique investment programs, Calvert is a leader in socially responsible investment practices. This Social Update highlights key initiatives and involvement for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006.

Shareholder Advocacy

We filed 17 shareholder resolutions during the 2006 proxy season, eight of which resulted in successful corporate dialogues and six of which were voted upon. Two of the resolutions received more than one-third of the vote (considered very high for shareholder-initiated proposals)--Home Depot on equal employment opportunity issues and Standard Pacific on energy efficiency. We also filed resolutions regarding sustainable forestry, predatory lending, animal welfare, disclosure and reporting, and contributions to political organizations and campaigns.

Corporate board diversity remains a major area of Calvert focus, with one-third of the resolutions filed for the reporting period in this area. We revisited our efforts launched in 2002, when Calvert sent letters to 154 companies in the Calvert Social Index Fund with no gender or racial diversity on their boards. Two-thirds of those companies still in the Index now have board diversity or a statement endorsing board diversity. For more information about these initiatives, see Shareholder Advocacy at www.calvert.com/sri_648.html.

Deepening our Impact

We are developing a plan to heighten the visibility and extend the impact of our overall advocacy efforts. While we will continue to file shareholder resolutions and engage management of the companies we hold in dialogue, we are expanding our approach to other advocacy tools and channels. This includes direct company and industry-wide dialogues (whether on our own or in multi-stakeholder settings) and industry standard-setting exercises to help leverage change across industries on a global basis. We also plan to engage in public policy and regulatory advocacy, by taking advantage of our proximity to and relationships with the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and media.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert's community investing, or High Social Impact Investing (HSII) program, administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. The HSII program may allocate up to between 1% and 3% of Fund assets at below-market rates to provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 During the reporting period, the Foundation made several investments to groups working to revitalize the Gulf Coast Region in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. MicroCredit Enterprises (MCE), a non-profit that leverages private capital to make tiny business loans to women in developing countries living in extreme poverty, was another organization receiving an investment from the Foundation.

Global Issues

China and the Internet. As China clamps down on freedom of information and expression, several major U.S. internet and information technology companies have come under scrutiny by members of Congress, the media and various human rights organizations. We are now in discussions with several major portfolio holdings about minimizing their complicity in human rights abuses and disclosing how they are complying with government policy. Bennett Freeman, Calvert's Senior Vice President for Social Research and Policy, participated on Calvert's behalf in a multi-stakeholder dialogue convened by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). This event aimed to develop a global industry standard addressing these issues, and included leading companies such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo.

Sudan. Calvert has also made a commitment to address the human rights crisis in Sudan. Due to our long-standing human rights and Indigenous Peoples' rights criteria, we do not invest in companies that materially contribute to sustaining the Sudanese regime and the abuses in Darfur. We continue to scrutinize our holdings for such involvement and will, if necessary, take action through engagement or divestment. We remain prepared to lend our name and voice to appropriate opportunities as they arise, whether through engagement with companies or public policy initiatives.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain Calvert portfolios is invested in private companies that make socially or environmentally helpful products or provide such services, both with a profit objective. We have long been involved in the technology side of the alternative energy sector, but we're seeing a new area of growth in related services. To that end, we have invested in Global Resource Options, one of the largest solar power installation services in the country.2 While this is still a fragmented field, the company has already expanded into some of the more challenging areas of the country. And with more states starting to provide tax credits geared at alternative energy, the growth potential is significant.

Also, through the Special Equities program, we have invested in the Rose Smart Growth Fund, which acquires buildings in urban, mass-transit oriented locations around the country. Rose manages these buildings to a "green" standard, seeking increased energy efficiency, decreased operating expenses, healthier indoor environments, and higher tenant retention. The Rose Fund acquired its first asset in April 2006, consisting of two historic office buildings in Seattle, Washington that the Fund seeks to certify with the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System™, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Supporting this green building movement allows us to diversify our efforts to reduce energy usage.3

Portfolio Management Discussion

Michael E. Schroer

of Renaissance Investment Management

Performance

For the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006, Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) returned

-3.04%, lagging the Russell 2000® Index, at 9.92%. The Fund's underperformance relative to the benchmark resulted from stock selection within the Information Technology, Health Care, and Consumer Staples sectors. We are disappointed by these results, but looking ahead, believe that the company fundamentals of the Fund's holdings are strong.

Investment Climate

During the past year, large- and small-cap stocks both generated returns within their long-term average historical range, with the Russell 1000® Index posting a return of 10.25% and the Russell 2000® Index returning 9.92%. But there was a noticeable difference between large- and small-cap stocks at the end of the period, as the Russell 2000 Index lagged the Russell 1000 Index by 4.6% for the third quarter of 2006.

Additionally, value stocks outperformed growth stocks by a significant margin. In fact, the Russell 2000® Value Index advanced 14.01% for the last 12 months versus 5.88% for the Russell 2000® Growth Index.

The market environment was favorable for stocks, as inflation signals from earlier in the year showed signs of moderating. Energy prices, which had been volatile over the twelve-month period, exhibited steep declines during the third quarter of 2006, with crude oil prices dropping 14% and natural gas prices tumbling 8%.

Yields on bonds also declined at the end of the period, after having risen for much of the last year. The 10-year Treasury bond yield rose from 4.32% a year ago, to 5.14% at the end of June, and then fell to 4.63% by the period's end. The Federal Reserve (Fed) elected to leave the target Fed Funds rate unchanged at 5.25% at its August and September meetings--after having raised the target six times over the course of the reporting period--stating that economic growth is continuing, though at a slower rate than earlier in the year. The Fed also said that "some inflation risks remain" and promised continued vigilance.

Portfolio Strategy

Using Calvert's Double Diligence® process, the Fund seeks attractive potential investments in well-managed firms by examining companies both financially and in terms of corporate responsibility.

Performance of the Fund over the past year has been disappointing to us, and underperformance was almost entirely driven by stock selection within the Information Technology, Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors.

While we believe that the core tenets of our investment approach are sound and add value over time, we are diligently reviewing our process to identify potential opportunities for improvement.

Zoran and Omnivision Technologies both manufacture chips used in consumer products, but their stocks suffered from different factors. Zoran, which returned -38%, is weighed down by an ongoing SEC probe into its issuance of stock options to key personnel. We continue to hold Zoran because the eventual financial impact appears to be minimal. On the other hand, Omnivision Technologies (-35%) has seen slower growth, which caused the firm to lower earnings estimates for the coming quarter. Due to the negative earnings estimate revisions and decelerating growth, we eliminated our position. Xyratex (-38%) has also had negative earnings estimate revisions recently, as it absorbs the costs of integrating a recent acquisition.

To be sure, our challenges were not limited to the Technology sector. We also recognized significant losses in Meritage Homes and Parlux Fragrances, both classified as Consumer Discretionary stocks. Meritage is a homebuilder with significant presence in Nevada and Florida. The softening of the housing market is well documented and the outlook for Meritage's earnings has been reduced. Because of this deteriorating outlook, we sold our positions in the stock in July.

Parlux Fragrances provides branded consumer products, primarily perfumes, colognes and apparel. Growth decelerated earlier this year largely due to faltering sales of the Paris Hilton brand. The stock price decline was further exacerbated by a failed buyout attempt from the company's Chairman and CEO. While the buyout offer was attractive, it was poorly financed and not realistic. Company management lost further credibility in the eyes of the investment community as a result, and we exited Parlux in June.

Our strongest performers were in the Consumer Discretionary sector. NutriSystem, up 55%, continues to benefit from strong demand for its weight-loss system. The company began direct-to-the-consumer advertising early last year, which is largely responsible for the acceleration in the growth. Third quarter 2006 revenues of $132 million were up 230% relative to the same time last year.2 Select Comfort, up 64%, has also benefited from strong demand. In fact, the company's adjustable firmness air-chamber mattresses have been gaining market share from traditional mattress companies.

Outlook

Recent attention has been focused on corporate profit margins and the possible impact of changes in those margins on future returns. While profits have averaged about 9.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) over the long term,1 profits currently account for 12.3% of GDP--the highest level since the early 1960s. This has led to speculation that profit margins might revert to historical averages, with negative implications for stock prices. However, with the notable exception of the early 1970s (the first oil crisis), stocks have generally performed well in the past, even after profit margins peaked. Our look at history suggests that if inflation and bond yields are stable, stocks can still produce reasonable returns, even if profit margins are stable or declining.

Despite recent poor performance, we believe that the investment fundamentals of our portfolio remain strong. The average company in our portfolio sells at 15.4 times expected 2007 earnings, about the same as that of the benchmark Russell 2000 Index--despite having significantly higher growth characteristics and more attractive earnings-momentum characteristics than the Index.

An environment of declining corporate profit margins is generally a favorable one for investing in companies with above-average fundamentals and growth prospects. Since growth stocks have been dramatically underperforming value stocks for six years, we believe that investors will be significantly rewarded for investing in growth stocks over the next several years. In our view, high-quality growth stocks appear to be extremely attractive today. We are optimistic that our continued adherence to our disciplined approach can lead to attractive, competitive long-term results for our shareholders.

Performance Comparison
Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment.

 

*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 4.75% front-end sales charge, or deferred sales charge as applicable. 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. New subadvisor assumed management of the Fund effective June 2005.

 

 

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, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

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.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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, 2006, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. 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, 2006, 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 five-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. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses 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). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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, 2006, securities valued at $1,201,942, or 0.7% 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 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 and may include proceeds from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

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 seven days for Class I shares). Prior to September 27, 2006, the redemption fee applied to redemptions, including exchanges, made within five days for all Class I shares. The redemption fee is paid to the Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, 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 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 may be 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.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

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 UNIFI 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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2007 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 may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit 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.

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.

The Distributor received $40,907 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2006.

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 $130,904 for the year ended September 30, 2006.

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 $32,000 ($25,000 prior to January 1, 2006) plus up to $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 $313,463,026 and $349,905,950, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $175,193,937. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $3,585,734, of which $13,136,707 related to appreciated securities and $9,550,973 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $571,370 (from Calvert Social Investment Fund Technology Portfolio) and $2,061,130 at September 30, 2006 may be available, subject to certain tax limitations, to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2010 and September 2014, respectively.

The Fund intends to elect to defer post-October losses of $2,093,586 to fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Such losses if utilized will expire in 2015.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2006

2005

     Ordinary income

--

--

     Long-term capital gain

$22,124,588

$8,791,346

          Total

$22,124,588

$8,791,346

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward

($2,632,500)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

3,585,734

 

$953,234

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 treatments of foreign currency gains (losses) and real estate investment trusts.

Undistributed net investment income

$2,407,151

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

193,094

Paid in capital

(2,600,245)

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to post-October loss deferrals and the capital loss limitations from the merger with the Calvert Social Investment Fund Technology Portfolio.

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 the committed 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, 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2006, 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.

Dear Shareholder:

Over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. financial markets and economy were buffeted by diverse forces, including volatile energy prices, the ongoing Iraq war, large trade deficits, and a change in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and leadership.

Despite these pressures, fixed-income market performance was solid and although slowing, the U.S. economy appears to be on a relatively strong footing, with solid job growth, growing corporate profits, and moderate inflation. For this reporting period, we're pleased to report that all of our corporate taxable bond funds outperformed their benchmarks.

An Uncertain Interest Rate Environment

Although fixed-income markets ultimately performed in positive territory, it's been a challenging year for bond investors. The Fed's steady uptick in short-term interest rates dampened bond prices and returns for much of the period. But signs of an economic slowdown and the August pause in short-term rate hikes fueled a late-summer bond rally. We believe at this point the Fed funds rate is now in "neutral" territory--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive of economic growth and inflation. We believe the Fed may now be in a holding pattern, awaiting key economic data on core inflation and consumer spending before moving short-term rates again.

Confidence in Our Fixed-Income Expertise

With so many diverse factors affecting the economy and bond market, the expertise of a professional bond fund manager can be very beneficial. Calvert's experience in the fixed-income markets spans 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.

Our solid performance and the effectiveness of this strategy have been reflected in our results across many venues, including media appearances by our managers and press accolades throughout the year.

Former Calvert Board Member Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

Recently, Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work in microfinance. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 to provide poor people with access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses. This award is especially significant in that it makes explicit and acknowledges the direct link between financial self-sufficiency and peace. Calvert is proud of our 10-year association with Dr. Yunus and of the role that our firm and shareholders have played in supporting Dr. Yunus's Nobel Prize-winning work in microfinance.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity-- to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

In any market, we believe it's wise to adhere to a long-term, well-diversified portfolio strategy that includes bond funds. We encourage you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning.

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

 

Sincerely,

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

Portfolio Management Discussion

Senior Portfolio Manager
of Calvert Asset Management Company

 

Investment Performance

Calvert Income Fund Class A shares at NAV* produced a total return of 4.02% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006. The benchmark Lehman US Credit Index returned 3.39% for the same period.

Investment Climate

During the 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve (Fed) increased the target Fed funds rate 0.25% at the first six of its eight scheduled meetings, pushing the rate to 5.25% before moving to the sidelines in August. Short-term rates, including those of the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Long-term interest rates increased slightly, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rising 0.29% to 4.63%.

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.3% pace during the first nine months of the reporting period, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), which is in line with the long-term U.S. average.2 On average, 148,000 new jobs were created each month, while the unemployment rate remained a low 4.6%. Inflation became an issue during the year, however. The headline consumer price index (CPI) increased 3.8% over the 12-month reporting period and the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8%.3 Rising headline and core inflation led the Fed to tilt its monetary policy bias toward addressing the risk of inflation, potentially leaving the door open for more rate increases. However, the Fed left rates unchanged at its August and September meetings.

Portfolio Strategy

Our strategy reflects Calvert's FourSight® 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 posted stronger returns versus its benchmark during the reporting period, due to its relatively short duration (4.33 years on September 30, 2006, versus 5.91 years for the benchmark). During the period, interest rates rose disproportionately more for shorter-term securities (maturing in 1 year or less) than longer-term bonds (with maturities of 10 years and longer). In fact, by the third quarter of 2006, short-term yields actually exceeded long-term yield, producing an inverted yield curve. Another primary driver of the Fund's relative outperformance included a significant allocation to floating-rate notes, which are not held by the benchmark. Floating- or adjustable-rate securities are characterized as having coupons (interest rates) that reset periodically (weekly or monthly, for example) and so can provide a benefit to a portfolio when increases occur in short-term rates such as the Fed funds rate.

Earlier in the reporting period, the Fund was positioned for a narrowing of the difference in interest rates between short- and longer-term securities. The difference in yields did in fact compress, creating an inverted yield curve, and was a positive factor for Fund performance.

Finally, an overweighting to both high-quality, AAA-rated bonds and below-investment-grade bonds--in what is known as a "credit barbell strategy"--was another strong contributor to returns, as those two sectors outperformed. In fact, the Fund had a 12.5% allocation to out-of-benchmark, high-yield securities, which were buoyed by returns in this sector of 8.07%.4

Outlook

Fed rate hikes have moved the target Fed funds rate into a historically neutral range--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive--but the level of core inflation remains uncomfortably high. However, the quickening pace of inflation has finally slowed over the last few months, offering hope that the level will soon drop into the Fed's comfort zone and eliminate the need for further hikes in the target rate.

We expect U.S. economic growth to be slower than average in coming quarters, but do not expect a recession or any change in the target Fed funds rate. The sharp drop in energy prices that started in the late summer should cushion weaker consumer spending, but a material slowdown in the housing sector could threaten consumption. We are also watching the actions of central banks around the globe, many of which started tightening their monetary policies during the reporting period, pushing interest rates up worldwide. While we expect interest-rate hikes overseas to be very gradual, the U.S. must rely on foreign investment in U.S. securities to help offset our broad deficit, so domestic interest rates must stay competitive with those overseas to continue attracting investors from abroad.

Successful portfolio strategies have boosted Fund returns relative to the benchmark during the reporting period. Looking ahead, we anticipate continuing our slightly defensive posture, although we may move Fund duration closer to the benchmark as rates move higher, primarily through the sale of floating-rate securities and the purchase of longer-term, fixed-rate bonds. We expect to maintain the Fund's credit barbell strategy so long as the yield difference between high-quality bonds and low-quality bonds remains narrow. Given our strategies and our outlook, we believe the portfolio is well positioned for the future.

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%, or deferred sales charge as applicable. 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, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

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 net assets of the Calvert Income Fund, a series of The Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2006, 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 five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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, 2006, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. 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, 2006, 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 five-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 or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses 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). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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 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, 2006, 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.

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 and may include proceeds from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. 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 based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 21.) 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

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 seven days for Class I shares). Prior to September 27, 2006, the redemption fee applied to redemptions, including exchanges, made within five days for all Class I shares. The redemption fee is paid to the Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, 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 arrangements with its custodian banks whereby the custodian's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the banks. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such deposit arrangements may be 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.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

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 UNIFI 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 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, $1,441,389 was payable at year end. In addition, $658,261 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the advisor during September 2006.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly. Classes A, B, and C shares pay an annual rate of .30% on the first $3 billion and 0.25% over $3 billion. Class I shares pay an annual rate of .10%, based on their average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,044,566 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, $1,329,569 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $723,302 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 2006.

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 $745,695 for the year ended September 30, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, $63,545 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 $32,000 ($25,000 prior to January 1, 2006) 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 $5,757,153,266 and $5,359,683,643, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $16,557,067,581 and $16,148,339,832, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $4,634,679,853. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $52,930,129, of which $47,172,672 related to appreciated securities and $100,102,801 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $1,592,653, at September 30, 2006 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2014.

The Fund intends to elect to defer post-October losses of $11,746,391 to fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Such losses if unutilized will expire in 2015.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2006

2005

     Ordinary income

$192,374,237

$133,600,933

     Long term capital gain

37,350,443

51,586,411

          Total

$229,724,680

$185,187,344

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows

Undistributed ordinary income

$1,525,078

Capital loss carryforward

(1,592,653)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(52,930,129)

 

($52,997,704)

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 foreign currency transactions and asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

$527,131

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(527,131)

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, deferral of post-October capital losses 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, 2006, such purchase and sales transactions were $217,044,000 and $267,304,000, 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 committed 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, 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2006, 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:

Over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. financial markets and economy were buffeted by diverse forces, including volatile energy prices, the ongoing Iraq war, large trade deficits, and a change in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and leadership.

Despite these pressures, fixed-income market performance was solid and although slowing, the U.S. economy appears to be on a relatively strong footing, with solid job growth, growing corporate profits, and moderate inflation. For this reporting period, we're pleased to report that all of our corporate taxable bond funds outperformed their benchmarks.

An Uncertain Interest Rate Environment

Although fixed-income markets ultimately performed in positive territory, it's been a challenging year for bond investors. The Fed's steady uptick in short-term interest rates dampened bond prices and returns for much of the period. But signs of an economic slowdown and the August pause in short-term rate hikes fueled a late-summer bond rally. We believe at this point the Fed funds rate is now in "neutral" territory--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive of economic growth and inflation. We believe the Fed may now be in a holding pattern, awaiting key economic data on core inflation and consumer spending before moving short-term rates again.

Confidence in Our Fixed-Income Expertise

With so many diverse factors affecting the economy and bond market, the expertise of a professional bond fund manager can be very beneficial. Calvert's experience in the fixed-income markets spans 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.

Our solid performance and the effectiveness of this strategy have been reflected in our results across many venues, including media appearances by our managers and press accolades throughout the year.

Former Calvert Board Member Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

Recently, Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work in microfinance. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 to provide poor people with access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses. This award is especially significant in that it makes explicit and acknowledges the direct link between financial self-sufficiency and peace. Calvert is proud of our 10-year association with Dr. Yunus and of the role that our firm and shareholders have played in supporting Dr. Yunus's Nobel Prize-winning work in microfinance.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity-- to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

In any market, we believe it's wise to adhere to a long-term, well-diversified portfolio strategy that includes bond funds. We encourage you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning.

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

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek

Portfolio Management Discussion

Senior Portfolio Manager

Investment Performance

Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class A shares at NAV* produced a total return of 4.86% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006. The benchmark Lehman 1- 5 Year US Credit Index returned 3.96% for the same period.

Investment Climate

During the 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve (Fed) increased the target Fed funds rate 0.25% at the first six of its eight scheduled meetings, pushing the rate to 5.25% before moving to the sidelines in August. Short-term rates, including those of the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Long-term interest rates increased slightly, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rising 0.29% to 4.63%.

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.3% pace during the first nine months of the reporting period, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), which is in line with the long-term U.S. average.2 On average, 148,000 new jobs were created each month, while the unemployment rate remained a low 4.6%. Inflation became an issue during the year, however. The headline consumer price index (CPI) increased 3.8% over the 12-month reporting period and the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8%.3 Rising headline and core inflation led the Fed to tilt its monetary policy bias toward addressing the risk of inflation, potentially leaving the door open for more rate increases. However, the Fed left rates unchanged at its August and September meetings.

Portfolio Strategy

Our strategy reflects Calvert's FourSight® 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 continued to be positioned to benefit from rising interest rates throughout the period, with a short relative duration (1.42 years on September 30, 2006, versus 2.74 years for the benchmark Lehman 1- 5 Year US Credit Index). This was a primary driver of the Fund's relative outperformance, as interest rates rose across all maturities and very short-term securities (maturing in 1 year or less) rose disproportionately more. In fact, by the third quarter of 2006, short-term yields actually exceeded long-term yields, producing an inverted yield curve. Another key factor was a significant allocation to floating-rate notes, which are not held by the benchmark. Floating- or adjustable-rate securities are characterized as having coupons (interest rates) that reset periodically (weekly or monthly, for example) and so can provide a benefit to a portfolio when increases occur in short-term rates, such as the Fed funds rate.

Earlier in the reporting period, the Fund was positioned for a narrowing of the difference in interest rates between short- and longer-term securities. The difference in yields did in fact compress, creating an inverted yield curve, and was a positive factor for Fund performance. Finally, an overweighting to both high-quality AAA and below-investment-grade bonds--in what is known as a "credit barbell strategy"--was another strong contributor to Fund performance, as those two sectors generally outperformed other quality sectors with returns of 3.75% and 8.07%, respectively.4

 

Outlook

Fed rate hikes have moved the target Fed funds rate into a historically neutral range--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive--but the level of core inflation remains uncomfortably high. However, the quickening pace of inflation has finally slowed over the last few months, offering hope that the level will soon drop into the Fed's comfort zone and eliminate the need for further hikes in the target rate.

We expect U.S. economic growth to be slower than average in coming quarters, but do not expect a recession or any change in the target Fed funds rate. The sharp drop in energy prices that started in the late summer should cushion weaker consumer spending, but a material slowdown in the housing sector could threaten consumption. We are also watching the actions of central banks around the globe, many of which started tightening their monetary policies during the reporting period, pushing interest rates up worldwide. While we expect interest-rate hikes overseas to be very gradual, the U.S. must rely on foreign investment in U.S. securities to help offset our broad deficit, so domestic interest rates must stay competitive with those overseas to continue attracting investors from abroad.

Successful portfolio strategies have boosted Fund returns relative to the benchmark during the reporting period. Looking ahead, we anticipate continuing our slightly defensive posture, although we may move Fund duration closer to the benchmark as rates move higher, primarily through the sale of floating-rate securities and the purchase of longer-term, fixed-rate bonds. We expect to maintain the Fund's credit barbell strategy so long as the yield difference between high-quality bonds and low-quality bonds remains narrow. Given our strategies and our outlook, we believe the portfolio is well positioned for the future.

For purposes of reporting Investment Performance, 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 Investment Performance, the Class A performance at NAV was used during the period November 7, 2005 through April 21, 2006.

*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 period November 7, 2005 through April 21, 2006.

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%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable. 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 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, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

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.

*     Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.08%, 1.90% and 0.61% for Class A, Class C, and Class I, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365.

**     Class I resumed upon shareholder investment on April 21, 2006. Therefore, there was a time during the reporting period when there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of reporting the total return, Class A performance at NAV is used during the period in which there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of calculating the actual ending account value corresponding expenses paid, the Class A performance at NAV was used during the period April 1, 2006, through April 21, 2006.

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 currently offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. 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 or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses 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). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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 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, 2006 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.

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 and may include proceeds from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. 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 based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 18.) 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

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 seven days for Class I shares). Prior to September 27, 2006, the redemption fee applied to redemptions, including exchanges, made within five days for all Class I shares. The redemption fee is paid to the Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, 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 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.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

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 UNIFI 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. Under the terms of the agreement, $121,475 was payable at year end. In addition, $57,870 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2006.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2007. 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 may benefit from the expense offset arrangement and the Advisor's obligation under the contractual limitation may be 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. Under the terms of the agreement, $104,109 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 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. Under the terms of the agreement, $110,583 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $58,955 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2006.

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 $56,361 for the year ended September 30, 2006. Under the terms of agreement, $5,242 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 an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $32,000 ($25,000 prior to January 1, 2006) 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 $818,065,123 and $665,698,389, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $853,201,526 and $846,413,148, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $430,958,018. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $542,426 of which $1,675,849 related to appreciated securities and $2,218,275 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2006

2005

     Ordinary income

$15,019,781

$8,758,817

     Long term capital gain

534,398

472,742

          Total

$15,554,179

$9,231,559

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$2,161,971

Undistributed long-term capital gain

63,189

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(542,426)

 

$1,682,734

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 foreign currency transactions and asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

$17,615

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(17,615)

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, 2006, such purchase transactions were $84,753.

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 committed 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, 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2006, 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.

Dear Shareholder:

Over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. financial markets and economy were buffeted by diverse forces, including volatile energy prices, the ongoing Iraq war, large trade deficits, and a change in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and leadership.

Despite these pressures, fixed-income market performance was solid and although slowing, the U.S. economy appears to be on a relatively strong footing, with solid job growth, growing corporate profits, and moderate inflation. For this reporting period, we're pleased to report that all of our corporate taxable bond funds outperformed their benchmarks.

An Uncertain Interest Rate Environment

Although fixed-income markets ultimately performed in positive territory, it's been a challenging year for bond investors. The Fed's steady uptick in short-term interest rates dampened bond prices and returns for much of the period. But signs of an economic slowdown and the August pause in short-term rate hikes fueled a late-summer bond rally. We believe at this point the Fed funds rate is now in "neutral" territory--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive of economic growth and inflation. We believe the Fed may now be in a holding pattern, awaiting key economic data on core inflation and consumer spending before moving short-term rates again.

Confidence in Our Fixed-Income Expertise

With so many diverse factors affecting the economy and bond market, the expertise of a professional bond fund manager can be very beneficial. Calvert's experience in the fixed-income markets spans 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.

Our solid performance and the effectiveness of this strategy have been reflected in our results across many venues, including media appearances by our managers and press accolades throughout the year.

Former Calvert Board Member Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

Recently, Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work in microfinance. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 to provide poor people with access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses. This award is especially significant in that it makes explicit and acknowledges the direct link between financial self-sufficiency and peace. Calvert is proud of our 10-year association with Dr. Yunus and of the role that our firm and shareholders have played in supporting Dr. Yunus's Nobel Prize-winning work in microfinance.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity-- to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

In any market, we believe it's wise to adhere to a long-term, well-diversified portfolio strategy that includes bond funds. We encourage you to work with a financial professional, who can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning.

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

Sincerely,

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

Portfolio Management Discussion
Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager
of Calvert Asset Management Company

Investment Performance

Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A shares at NAV* produced a total return of 4.49% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006. The benchmark Lehman Long US Credit Index returned 2.70% for the same period.

Investment Climate

During the 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve (Fed) increased the target Fed funds rate 0.25% at the first six of its eight scheduled meetings, pushing the rate to 5.25% before moving to the sidelines in August. Short-term rates, including those of the three-month Treasury bill, rose in response to these hikes.1 Long-term interest rates increased slightly, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rising 0.29% to 4.63%.

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.3% pace during the first nine months of the reporting period, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), which is in line with the long-term U.S. average.2 On average, 148,000 new jobs were created each month, while the unemployment rate remained a low 4.6%. Inflation became an issue during the year, however. The headline consumer price index (CPI) increased 3.8% over the 12-month reporting period and the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8%.3 Rising headline and core inflation led the Fed to tilt its monetary policy bias toward addressing the risk of inflation, potentially leaving the door open for more rate increases. However, the Fed left rates unchanged at its August and September meetings.

Portfolio Strategy

Our strategy reflects Calvert's FourSight® 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 primary drivers of the Fund's relative outperformance included its short relative duration (6.95 years on September 30, 2006, versus 11.22 years for the benchmark Lehman Long US Credit Index). In response to Fed rate hikes, interest rates rose across the maturity spectrum--but more so on very short maturity Treasuries. By the end of the 12-month period, shorter-term securities offered higher yields than longer-term bonds, producing an inverted yield curve.

The Fund was also positioned to benefit from these rising short-term interest rates with an allocation to floating-rate notes of varied terms (which are not held by the benchmark). Floating- or adjustable-rate securities are characterized as having coupons (interest rates) that reset periodically (weekly or monthly, for example) and so can provide a benefit to a portfolio when increases occur in short-term rates, such as the Fed funds rate. Long-term rates finally responded to the Fed's push on rates and rose slightly over the 12-month period, with 30-year Treasuries up 0.20%.

Earlier in the reporting period, the Fund was positioned for a narrowing of the difference in interest rates between short- and longer-term securities. The difference in yields did in fact compress, creating an inverted yield curve, and was a positive factor for Fund performance.

Finally, an overweighting to both high quality AAA and below-investment-grade bonds--in what is known as a "credit barbell strategy"--was another strong contributor to returns, as those two sectors outperformed AA, A and BBB-rated securities.4

Outlook

Fed rate hikes have moved the target Fed funds rate into a historically neutral range--neither overly accommodative nor restrictive--but the level of core inflation remains uncomfortably high. However, the quickening pace of inflation has finally slowed over the last few months, offering hope that the level will soon drop into the Fed's comfort zone and eliminate the need for further hikes in the target rate.

We expect U.S. economic growth to be slower than average in coming quarters, but do not expect a recession or any change in the target Fed funds rate. The sharp drop in energy prices that started in the late summer should cushion weaker consumer spending, but a material slowdown in the housing sector could threaten consumption. We are also watching the actions of central banks around the globe, many of which started tightening their monetary policies during the reporting period, pushing interest rates up worldwide. While we expect interest-rate hikes overseas to be very gradual, the U.S. must rely on foreign investment in U.S. securities to help offset our broad deficit, so domestic interest rates must stay competitive with those overseas to continue attracting investors from abroad.

Successful portfolio strategies have boosted Fund returns relative to the benchmark during the reporting period. Looking ahead, we anticipate continuing our slightly defensive posture, although we may move Fund duration closer to the benchmark as rates move higher, primarily through the sale of floating-rate securities and the purchase of longer-term, fixed-rate bonds. We expect to maintain the Fund's credit barbell strategy so long as the yield difference between high-quality bonds and low-quality bonds remains narrow. Given our strategies and our outlook, we believe the portfolio is well positioned for the future.

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 (inception date April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

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 Long-Term Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Long-Term Income Fund, a series of The Calvert Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets the year then ended and the period from inception through September 30, 2005 (inception for the Calvert Long-Term Income Fund was December 31, 2004), and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period since inception through September 30, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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, 2006, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. 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 Long-Term Income Fund as of September 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended and the period since inception through September 30, 2005 , and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period since inception through September 30, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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 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, 2006, 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.

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 and may include proceeds from litigation. 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. 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 based on consistently applied procedures. (See Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 14.) 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 Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, 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 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 may be 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.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

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 UNIFI 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, 2007. 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 may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit 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 $4,163 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2006.

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 $690 for the year ended September 30, 2006. 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 $32,000 ($25,000 prior to January 1, 2006) 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, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. Government securities, were $8,515,224 and $7,068,828, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $9,212,552 and $8,063,576, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $4,362,952. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $51,013, of which $77,219 related to appreciated securities and $26,206 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $1,802 at September 30, 2006 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2014.

The Fund intends to elect to defer post-October losses of $7,702 to fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Such losses if unutilized will expire in 2015.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2006 and period ended September 30, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2006

2005

     Ordinary income

$169,015

$25,379

          Total

$169,015

$25,379

 

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income

$263

Capital loss carryforward

(1,802)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

51,013

 

$49,474

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

$151

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

(151)

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, post-October loss deferrals, 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, 2006, such purchase and sale transactions were $0 and $99,740, respectively. The sales transactions resulted in a net realized gain of $32 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 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 the committed 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 year ended September 30, 2006.

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.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

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.

(e) Audit Committee pre-approval policies and procedures:

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.

(f) Not applicable.

(h) The registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c) (7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. 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.
