Dear Shareholder:

Over the 12 months ended September 30, 2007, the U.S. and international equity markets fluctuated dramatically, moving from a fairly steady upward climb during the first half of the period to marked volatility in the third quarter of this year. In July, turmoil from the subprime mortgage market spilled over into stock markets at home and abroad as subprime lenders and other financial institutions worldwide suffered declines and investors became increasingly risk averse.

Despite the subprime woes, the overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, climbed a healthy 16.44% for the 12-month period. U.S. mid-cap stocks were the strongest performers, followed by large-cap stocks. Small-cap stocks brought up the rear, ending a five-year stint in the leadership position. International stock markets outpaced the U.S., demonstrating resilience despite high energy prices, inflationary pressures, and other global concerns. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Australasia Far East (EAFE) Index, a benchmark for non-U.S. stocks, returned 25.38%, boosted in part by a weak U.S. dollar. Emerging markets, however, again outshone other regions, as many of these countries continued to enjoy growing consumer demand.

A Look at the Subprime Situation

The volatility in the global stock markets this summer was caused by the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market. Many of these mortgages were packaged into securities of varying complexity. Some of these received top credit ratings and were purchased by financial firms, including hedge funds and investment banks, around the world. When default rates for the underlying mortgages started to increase much more quickly than expected, some holders of the securities were forced to mark down their values.

A Reevaluation of Risk

The unexpected declines in value forced the liquidation of several high-profile hedge funds, hurt the stock prices of financial companies, and generally caused investors to reevaluate risk in the global stock and bond markets. While these events may seem unsettling, we view them as a normal correction in the equity and financial markets, returning to the traditionally lower prices seen for riskier assets. In recent years, investors had been irrationally paying as much for riskier stocks as for higher-quality stocks in the hopes of earning a little more return. Also, volatility in the stock market had been near historic lows. Now, in this more cautious environment, we see opportunities for larger-cap and higher-quality stocks to shine.

Growth Overtakes Value

The reporting period also featured the reversal of a long trend. For the first time in nearly seven years, growth stocks outperformed value stocks, as the Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 19.35% while the Russell 1000® Value Index gained 14.45%. Many of Calvert's equity funds tend to have a growth tilt, so the continued leadership of growth stocks would be a welcome change. And given the current market environment, we believe this trend may build momentum.

Calvert Conducts Climate Change Survey

In early 2007, Calvert conducted an on-line survey of shareholders and clients to help us sharpen the focus and assess the relevance of the environmental, social, and governance criteria that we use to evaluate companies for our socially responsible portfolios.

More than 1,500 Calvert shareholders responded to the survey on climate change and other environmental concerns. Of those responding, 97% said the leading reason they chose socially responsible funds was to invest in companies with good environmental practices. Also, climate change topped the list of socially responsible investors' concerns, and 90% of investors said that their unease about climate change has increased over the last five years.

Two New Funds Debut

Partially in response to these results, Calvert launched the Calvert Global Alternative Energy Fund on May 31, 2007. The Fund, which is managed by Dublin-based KBC Asset Management International Ltd., invests in a broad universe of U.S. and non-U.S. stocks that are significantly involved in the alternative energy industry. The Fund offers investors the opportunity to address the urgent issue of climate change while investing in one of the fastest-growing market sectors globally. Keep in mind, however, that this is a sector fund, which means it is likely to be volatile over time. It's important that investors in this Fund have a long-term perspective and time horizon.

In addition, Calvert launched the Calvert International Opportunities Fund, managed by London-based subadvisor F&C Management Limited, on May 31. This Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in growth-oriented small-cap and mid-cap foreign stocks. Coupled with the Calvert World Values International Equity Fund, which invests in large-cap foreign stocks, the Calvert International Opportunities Fund gives Calvert investors access to the full range of market capitalizations in foreign companies.

Calvert Continues to Grow

Also during the reporting period, Calvert surpassed $15 billion in total assets under management. As we continue to grow, Calvert remains committed to striving to maximize the performance of our funds in terms of both financial returns to shareholders and returns to society as a whole.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our mutual funds, and we look forward to continuing our endeavor to meet your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

Social Update
from the Calvert Social Research Department

The work of Calvert's Social Research Department and our unique investment programs continue to demonstrate Calvert's leadership in socially responsible investment practices. This Social Update highlights key initiatives and involvement for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2007.

Shareholder Advocacy

Shareholder resolutions have been a key tool in enhancing shareholders' communications with the companies they invest in for more than three decades--but now that tool is in serious jeopardy as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) evaluates making changes to the shareholder resolution process. As a result, Calvert Group has been playing a major role in the campaign to preserve shareholder rights this year. We have expressed our strong opposition to the SEC in formal comments on several alternative proposals. In September, Paul Hilton, Calvert Director of Advanced Equities Research, along with other members of the Social Investment Forum, spent a day lobbying members of Congress on the issue. Calvert also participated in a press event to bring public attention to this issue.

We believe the SEC's proposed alternatives would severely undermine shareholders' rights to submit resolutions that raise environmental, governance, and social issues. In fact, Calvert believes that, instead of rolling back investors' rights, the Commission ought to move in the other direction and allow shareholders to submit a wider range of resolutions. We will continue to actively work toward a favorable resolution of this issue.

The Results of This Year's Campaign

Our 2007 proxy season was our most successful one yet. We filed or co-filed an all-time high of 36 shareholder resolutions encouraging the companies in our portfolios to change their policies on issues ranging from employee diversity to climate-change reporting. Of these, 20 were withdrawn after companies agreed to make changes in these areas. Of the 11 that have been voted upon, two resolutions received more than 50% of the vote--our best showing ever. One of the resolutions was for Unisys Corp. on disclosure of political contributions and the other was for HCC Insurance Holdings on employee diversity.1 Four more resolutions received about one-third of the vote or higher, which is still a remarkably high number. For more information on the proxy votes, please visit www.calvert.com, select "Socially Responsible Investing" and click on "Shareholder Advocacy."

Political Contributions

As the 2008 elections draw near, we have increased our focus on corporate political contributions. We believe it is important for companies to ensure that political activity is conducted with integrity as part of a strong and enforceable code of conduct, and that political spending is fully disclosed to shareholders. In fact, five of the shareholder resolutions we filed this year called for companies to report all types of political contributions. One received a vote of 52% (Unisys), and three--Hewlett-Packard Co., Pfizer, and Medtronic-- were withdrawn successfully after those companies decided to make the disclosures. In one case, the resolution was withdrawn after the company was acquired.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain Funds is allocated for venture capital investment in innovative companies that are developing for-profit products or services that address important social or environmental issues. Illinois-based Sword Diagnostics is one such investment. Sword's technology reduces the time for food manufacturers to detect the presence of potentially deadly listeria bacteria by one-third--so they can act to stop the contamination within hours instead of two to three days.2 In New York, Marrone Organic Innovations is tackling one of the biggest hurdles to lowering the cost and increasing the availability of organically grown food--creating effective, natural products for pest management.3 Specifically, the company creates new products to control weeds, pests, and other plant diseases using naturally occurring microorganisms it has identified.

Sudan Divestment

Calvert Group's work toward ending the atrocities in Darfur continues. On October 3, Calvert Senior Vice President of Social Research and Policy, Bennett Freeman, delivered testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs about how asset managers can use targeted divestment to increase economic and political pressure on the Khartoum Government in ways consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities. We also continue to lend analytical and advocacy support to the Sudan Divestment Task Force (SDTF) and the Save Darfur Coalition (SDC), with whom we formed relationships earlier this year.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert's High Social Impact Investing (HSII) program, which is administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. This community investment program may allocate up to 1% to 3% of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.4

During the reporting period, the Calvert Social Investment Foundation invested in Tides Shared Spaces, a program of the Tides nonprofit network, to help develop a nonprofit office center in New York City using a "green" architectural plan. This shared-space facility will provide stable rental rates for a number of nonprofits as well as conference center facilities and opportunities for tenant collaboration and sharing. Tides has already established a similar center in San Francisco.

As a result of the HSII program, eBay-owned MicroPlace has chosen the Calvert Foundation's Community Investment Note program as one of the first securities issuers for its new microfinance business.5 The MicroPlace Web site allows the public to invest in various institutions that provide small loans to impoverished entrepreneurs around the world. This is a major innovation--harnessing the power of the Internet to exponentially expand and revolutionize the practice of microfinance investing. You should feel proud that your investment in the Calvert Funds was instrumental in the establishment of this groundbreaking online marketplace.

As always, we appreciate your investment in Calvert mutual funds and will continue to manage your investments with an eye on both financial performance and corporate integrity.

Portfolio Management Discussion

John Montgomery
of Bridgeway Capital Management

Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) returned 9.61% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2007, underperforming the Russell 2000® Index's 12.34% total return. The Fund's new subadvisor, Bridgeway Capital Management, has produced competitive returns in their first six months on the job, substantially reducing the level of underperformance that had accumulated during the first half of the reporting period.

On March 8, 2007, the Trustees of the Fund approved the appointment of Bridgeway Capital Management of Houston, Texas as the new sub-advisor to the Fund. Bridgeway is a recognized industry leader in quantitative, small-cap portfolio management. The firm, which also acts as sub-advisor to Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund, uses a highly disciplined process based on proprietary stock selection models, striving to produce portfolios with high expected returns and limited downside risk.

Investment Climate

The last 12 months were marked by steady improvement for growth stocks compared with their respective peer groups. Subprime mortgage woes during the summer led to an increase in volatility and renewed interest in higher-quality stocks. The housing-market slowdown and weakening U.S. dollar also played a role. The Materials sector led the small-cap market with a strong return of 50.4% for the period. Financials were down 5.4%, and were the only sector in the Russell 2000 Index to lose money.

Our area of the market--small-cap core stocks--produced varied performance over the last six months. The second quarter of 2007 was strong, with the Index up 4.41%, but the third quarter had a loss of 3.10%.1

The benchmark Russell 2000 Index includes both value and growth small-cap stocks--making it very similar to the universe used for the Fund. Yet our recent "growth-y" slant helped our relative performance, as growth stocks outperformed value stocks in each of the last two quarters

Portfolio Strategy/Investment Process

As noted above, Bridgeway took over the daily management of the Fund in early March. Our process features several proprietary models and two distinct quantitative investment strategies--a larger, low-turnover core component based on the Russell 2000 Index and a more aggressive, active strategy.

What Worked Well

Over the past six months, very strong stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector, coupled with both an overweighting to and favorable stock selection within the Industrials sector drove the Fund's good performance. Strong stock selection in Financials also helped, as we generally avoided firms caught up in the subprime-mortgage mess.

True to the design of our investment management process, our more active strategy provided a stronger return engine as the market climbed, while the less volatile core strategy provided more stability during the small-cap market correction of mid-July to mid-August.

Our best performers over the last six months represented a variety of industries. The top performer is also our largest holding, "hip" footwear manufacturer Crocs, which gained 184.7%.2 Online travel-site Priceline.com was another strong selection, up 66.6%. And three of our top 10 best-performing stocks hailed from the Industrials sector--Robbins & Myers (machinery), Perini Corp. (engineering & construction), and Valmont Industries (metal fabrication/hardware).

Particularly noteworthy was the highly publicized "train wreck" of many quantitative investment managers during the summer's turmoil. However, our Fund fared well. From the Index's peak in mid-July to the valley in mid-August, it declined slightly less than the benchmark. We attribute this to our disciplined process, diversified array of stock-selection models, and absence of leverage (borrowing).

What Didn't Work Well

Our underweighting to Health Care was one detractor from performance, but stock selection played a role as well. The worst-performing stock for the last six months was American Reprographics Co., which declined 39.2%. The slowing housing market led analysts to lower their future stock price estimates for this company, which provides document management services to the architectural, engineering, and construction industries.

Again, our bottom 10 stocks in terms of performance represented a variety of industries. Along with American Reprographics, these included WESCO International (distribution/ wholesale), CPI Corp. (commercial services), Cutera (health-care equipment), and Radiation Therapy Services (health-care services).

Most of our 10 worst-performing stocks were liquidated during the period. However, there was a slight silver lining--for tax efficiency, we used these liquidations to accumulate losses to offset potential future gains in the Fund.

Market Outlook

It's uncertain how the market conditions of recent months will play out. What is certain is that the Bridgeway investment process doesn't change. It stays the same whether the market is up or down, favoring large-cap or small, benefiting growth or value stocks. That's because we are disciplined about focusing on stock fundamentals instead of general economic data (e.g., employment, fiscal policy, consumer sentiment) or trying to time the market.

We are pleased that our management seems to have started off on the right foot with this Fund. While we cannot promise future returns, we believe we are up to the challenge of improving its longer-term performance record. Thus, we'll be working hard to climb the performance ladder one rung at a time over the next few years.

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 March 2007, and previously in 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund (the Fund), a series of the Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2007, 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 Fund'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, 2007, 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, 2007, 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, 2007, securities valued at $1,225,344, or 0.9% 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.

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

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis 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). 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: 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. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

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, 2007, 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. Under the terms of the agreement, $85,342 was payable at year end. In addition, $42,324 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2007.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2008 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. This expense limitation does not limit any acquired fund fees and 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. Under the terms of the agreement, $21,857 was payable at year end. For the year ended September 30, 2007, CASC waived $40,330 of its fee.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A, Class B and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .25%, 1.00% and 1.00% annually of average daily net assets of each Class A, Class B and Class C, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C, respectively. Class I does not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the term of the agreement, $41,728 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $25,468 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2007.

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 $124,431 for the year ended September 30, 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, $9,467 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

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

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $32,000 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 $150,111,603 and $206,071,687, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2007 for federal income tax purposes was $119,635,254. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $19,749,690, of which $25,006,899 related to appreciated securities and $5,257,209 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $571,370 (acquired from Calvert Social Investment Fund Technology Portfolio), $2,061,130 and $1,688,942 at September 30, 2007 may be available, subject to certain tax limitations, to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2010, September 2014 and September 2015, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2007

2006

Ordinary income

--

--

Long-term capital gain

--

$22,124,588

Total

--

$22,124,588

As of September 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward

($4,321,442)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

19,749,690

 

$15,428,248

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales and capital loss limitations subject to Internal Revenue Code section 382.

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. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences

causing such reclassifications for the Fund are net operating losses and distributions from exchange traded funds.

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 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, 2007. For the year ended September 30, 2007, 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.

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended September 30, 2007 was a challenging environment for bond fund investors and portfolio managers. Economic signals continued to be mixed and, later in the reporting period, troubles in the U.S. subprime mortgage industry increased volatility in the bond market. For the entire 12-month period, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index--a commonly used benchmark for the overall bond market--gained 4.23%. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

In August, the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the discount rate, which is the rate that it charges banks to borrow directly from the Fed, by 0.5% to reassure investors that it would take action to prevent a full-blown credit crisis. In September, the Fed cut interest rates again, this time reducing both the federal funds target rate (the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans) and the discount rate. Markets reacted positively to the Fed's actions, but some believed that the Fed was essentially bailing out investors who took unnecessary risks.

Subprime Difficulties Roil the Bond Market

The volatility during the summer had an interesting source--the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market. Many of these mortgages were packaged into securities of varying complexity that found their way into portfolios ranging from hedge funds to commercial paper. Higher than expected defaults in subprime mortgages meant higher losses across a wide range of products sold to investors as relatively safe investments. A general flight to quality ensued, with investors pulling money out of funds exposed to subprime assets. Forced selling to meet higher redemptions and margin calls in leveraged funds hurt valuations even more. Investors fled to the safety of Treasuries and it became very difficult to sell anything but the most high-quality, liquid bonds. In general, we saw a reevaluation of risk and a dearth of liquidity in the bond market.

Calvert's bond funds had only very small exposure to bonds backed by subprime mortgages or issued by lenders that have made subprime loans. Of course, bonds issued by a wide range of financial firms may be affected because of their own holdings of subprime-backed debt and their business ties to hedge funds. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis may continue to ripple through the fixed-income market, but this could also create some opportunities to buy corporate bonds at beaten-down prices that do not reflect their true values.

Essential Roles of Fixed-Income Funds

Bond funds play key roles in many investors' portfolios. Keeping in mind the risks of fixed-income investing, such as credit risk and interest rate risk, these funds can offer many benefits. Fixed-income funds that specialize in bonds in a specific range of maturities can help you diversify your bond fund portfolio, which in turn offers diversification advantages when combined with equity fund holdings. Of course, most bond funds also provide flows of income from the coupon (interest) payments on the holdings. In addition, bond funds may also benefit from the price appreciation in their portfolios during periods of falling market interest rates.

Benefits of Professional Management

Bonds are complex investments, which is why most investors choose to invest in professionally managed bond funds. Calvert has been managing fixed income funds for more than 25 years, and our fixed income portfolio team continually refines its investment process. They monitor the yield curve, analyze credit quality, and opportunistically move in and out of sectors--all strategies required to be successful in managing diversified bond portfolios. Notably, Calvert's professionally managed bond funds ably navigated the turbulent markets of the third quarter, an accomplishment that would have been much more difficult for holders of individual bonds.

Lipper Award

One example of our fixed income success is the Lipper awards garnered by Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio. For the three-year period ended in 2006, the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I shares won a 2007 Lipper Fund Award1 for best risk-adjusted performance. The Portfolio is managed by the investment team, led by Gregory Habeeb, that also manages Calvert's other taxable fixed-income funds. This is the third time in the last four years that the Portfolio has won the Lipper Fund Award.

Calvert Continues to Grow

Also during the reporting period, Calvert surpassed $15 billion in total assets under management, including nearly $9 billion in fixed-income assets. As we continue to grow, Calvert remains committed to striving to maximize the performance of our funds.

With more than 30 years of experience managing fixed-income portfolios, we believe that Calvert has the depth of expertise needed to navigate these challenging market conditions.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our mutual funds, and we look forward to continuing our endeavor to meet your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.
October 2007

 

1. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sales in a given country are selected, then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with five or more distinct portfolios.

The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: three-year, five-year, 10-year, and overall. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or ten years. Source: Lipper Inc.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager
of Calvert Asset Management Company

Investment Performance

Calvert Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) earned a total return of 4.74% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2007, versus 4.23% for the benchmark Lehman U.S. Credit Index. Interest-rate, credit-quality, and yield-curve strategies drove the Fund's outperformance.

Investment Climate

Over the past 12 months, economic growth, inflation, and job growth have slowed. The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew at a 2.2% annualized pace,1 slightly below its long-term average. Core inflation2 declined to 1.8% by August, moving back into the comfort zone of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Unemployment held steady at 4.6%, but job creation declined from the previous 12-month period.3 Long-term interest rates were generally unchanged to slightly higher. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

Given the cooling of inflation, the Fed intended to keep the target fed funds rate steady at 5.25%. But those plans were disrupted as the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage turmoil broadened during the summer and risk aversion rose. Large losses experienced in hedge funds and other investment vehicles resulted in a flight to quality as many investors refused to roll over their short term commercial paper. The Fed and other central banks were forced to inject large reserves into their respective banking systems to stabilize the markets.

Impacts of the Subprime Mortgage Fallout

Increasing uncertainty spread to global markets as the prices of securities backed by illiquid subprime mortgage assets fell sharply. Given the large amounts of leverage in the system, losses caused more forced selling to meet margin calls. The resulting sell-off dragged down prices of more liquid securities including corporate, asset-backed, and municipal bonds, regardless of their fundamentals. Treasury securities rallied on a flight to quality and the yield difference between lower- and higher-quality securities widened sharply. The Fed made a surprise cut in the bank discount rate on August 17, making it less expensive for member banks to borrow directly from the Fed. A month later, it cut the target fed funds rate by 0.5% to further assuage the markets.

Portfolio Strategy

At the beginning of the period, we were positioned for a rising interest-rate environment. We also expected that risk premiums would have to increase since investors were not being adequately compensated for taking on additional risk. As a result, we positioned the Fund defensively, with a shorter relative duration and a higher allocation to both shorter-term and higher-quality securities than the benchmark Lehman U.S. Credit Index. The latter also added interest earnings to the Portfolio, since Treasuries with less than one year to maturity offered higher yields than longer-maturity Treasuries through early 2007.

Since rates generally declined during the period, our shorter duration detracted from performance. However, the benefits from our credit-quality bias and yield-curve positioning helped offset this. (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's yield curve positioning with an overweight to very short maturities also boosted relative returns. Short-term yields dropped disproportionately more than intermediate and long-term yields in the second half of the period and the yield curve shifted from inverted (where yields of short-term securities are higher than those of long-term securities) to a more traditional shape (where yields of short-term securities are lower than those of long-term bonds).

By early summer, woes in the mortgage market made investors much more risk-conscious, causing yield spreads between corporate bonds and Treasury securities with a similar maturity to widen significantly. The Fund's high-quality bias and overall underweight to corporate bonds protected returns to some degree.

Finally, the Fund's "barbell" approach to credit quality, with an overweighting to both AAA rated and below-investment-grade bonds, also contributed to returns as these were the top-performing segments for the period.4

However, significant markdowns in the values of two securities were a drag on performance. The New York State Division of Insurance denied Atlantic Mutual Insurance permission to pay its February and August 2007 interest payments as a result of the company's poor operating results, and the value of the Atlantic Mutual note we held dropped by more than half. In July, Alliance Mortgage Investment, which specializes in mortgages to Alt-A borrowers (borrowers with credit quality lower than prime but higher than subprime borrowers) filed for bankruptcy, resulting in a markdown on Alliance Mortgage notes.

As of September 30, 2007, the Fund had some holdings of Residential Capital LLC, a mortgage finance company, and Countrywide Financial. Both firms previously engaged in subprime lending, but now focus on providing loans to borrowers with prime credit. The Fund also held CIT Group, a commercial and consumer financial lender. Of course, almost all obligations issued or supported by financial services companies may have some exposure to the subprime market or related risks, given their diverse lines of business.

Outlook

The Fed's actions--combined with more clarity about troubled securities and the lack of a collapse by a major capital-markets player--seem to have thus far diffused the turmoil in the bond market. The volatility and yield premiums (the extra yield paid above that of a comparable Treasury bond) of riskier corporate bonds have declined, and some buyers have emerged to take advantage of market opportunities. Also, stock prices have recently set new highs.

Yet there easily could be another round of turmoil ahead. The deep housing slump increases the risk of recession, and the rise in commodity prices and the falling dollar may keep the overall (not core) inflation rate elevated. Therefore, these are very challenging times for bond investors. We believe that the Fed may further reduce the target fed funds rate this fall, but perhaps not by as much as some expect. So, we will continue to look for attractive buying opportunities, though we are also very aware of the elevated market volatility that is likely to last.

*Investment performance/return at NAV does not reflect the deduction of the Fund's maximum 3.75% front-end sales charge or any deferred sales charge.

**The Calvert Income Fund first offered Class R shares beginning on October 31, 2006. Performance results for Class R shares prior to October 31, 2006 reflect the performance of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). Actual Class R share performance would have been lower than Class A share performance because of higher Rule 12b-1 fees and other class-specific expenses that apply to the Class R shares.

*The Calvert Income Fund first offered Class R shares beginning on October 31, 2006. Performance results for Class R shares prior to October 31, 2006 reflect the performance of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). Actual Class R share performance would have been lower than Class A share performance because of higher Rule 12b-1 fees and other class-specific expenses that apply to the Class R shares.

 

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

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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Income Fund (the Fund), a series of The Calvert Fund, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2007, 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 Fund'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, 2007, 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, 2007, 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 five 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. Class R shares are generally only available to certain retirement plans where plan level or omnibus accounts are held on the books of the Fund. Class R shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have a higher level 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 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 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, 2007, securities valued at $18,572,500 or 0.3% 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.

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 managing the duration of the Fund. 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 Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 22.) A debt obligation may be 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). 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: 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. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

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, 2007, 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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2008 for Class R. The contractual expense cap is 1.47%. 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. Classes A, B, C and R shares pay an annual rate of .30% on the first $3 billion, 0.25% on the next $2 billion, and 0.225% over $5 billion. Class I shares pay an annual rate of .10%, based on their average daily net assets.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A, B, C and R 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%, 1.00% and .75% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A, B, C and R, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25%, 1.00%, 1.00% and .50% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A, B, C, and R, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

The Distributor received $554,515 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 2007.

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 $845,115 for the year ended September 30, 2007. 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 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 $9,665,348,632 and $8,003,381,186, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $33,403,749,450 and $33,788,154,172, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2007 for federal income tax purposes was $6,144,953,468. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $171,012,918, of which $27,856,176 related to appreciated securities and $198,869,094 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2007

2006

     Ordinary income

$246,608,334

$192,374,237

     Long term capital gain

--

37,350,443

          Total

$246,608,334

$229,724,680

As of September 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

     Undistributed ordinary income

$52,574,645

     Undistributed long term gain

51,024,802

     Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(171,012,918)

 

($67,413,471)

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales, interest defaults and Section 1256 contracts.

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. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are foreign currency transactions and asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

($83,431)

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

83,431

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, 2007, such purchase and sales transactions were $74,323,581 and $71,700,000, 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 Social Balanced 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. For the year ended September 30, 2007, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

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

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

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

Statement of Net Assets

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

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

Statement of Operations

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

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

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

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

Financial Highlights

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

PROXY VOTING

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

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

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

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

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended September 30, 2007 was a challenging environment for bond fund investors and portfolio managers. Economic signals continued to be mixed and, later in the reporting period, troubles in the U.S. subprime mortgage industry increased volatility in the bond market. For the entire 12-month period, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index--a commonly used benchmark for the overall bond market--gained 4.23%. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

In August, the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the discount rate, which is the rate that it charges banks to borrow directly from the Fed, by 0.5% to reassure investors that it would take action to prevent a full-blown credit crisis. In September, the Fed cut interest rates again, this time reducing both the federal funds target rate (the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans) and the discount rate. Markets reacted positively to the Fed's actions, but some believed that the Fed was essentially bailing out investors who took unnecessary risks.

Subprime Difficulties Roil the Bond Market

The volatility during the summer had an interesting source--the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market. Many of these mortgages were packaged into securities of varying complexity that found their way into portfolios ranging from hedge funds to commercial paper. Higher than expected defaults in subprime mortgages meant higher losses across a wide range of products sold to investors as relatively safe investments. A general flight to quality ensued, with investors pulling money out of funds exposed to subprime assets. Forced selling to meet higher redemptions and margin calls in leveraged funds hurt valuations even more. Investors fled to the safety of Treasuries and it became very difficult to sell anything but the most high-quality, liquid bonds. In general, we saw a reevaluation of risk and a dearth of liquidity in the bond market.

Calvert's bond funds had only very small exposure to bonds backed by subprime mortgages or issued by lenders that have made subprime loans. Of course, bonds issued by a wide range of financial firms may be affected because of their own holdings of subprime-backed debt and their business ties to hedge funds. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis may continue to ripple through the fixed-income market, but this could also create some opportunities to buy corporate bonds at beaten-down prices that do not reflect their true values.

Essential Roles of Fixed-Income Funds

Bond funds play key roles in many investors' portfolios. Keeping in mind the risks of fixed-income investing, such as credit risk and interest rate risk, these funds can offer many benefits. Fixed-income funds that specialize in bonds in a specific range of maturities can help you diversify your bond fund portfolio, which in turn offers diversification advantages when combined with equity fund holdings. Of course, most bond funds also provide flows of income from the coupon (interest) payments on the holdings. In addition, bond funds may also benefit from the price appreciation in their portfolios during periods of falling market interest rates.

Benefits of Professional Management

Bonds are complex investments, which is why most investors choose to invest in professionally managed bond funds. Calvert has been managing fixed income funds for more than 25 years, and our fixed income portfolio team continually refines its investment process. They monitor the yield curve, analyze credit quality, and opportunistically move in and out of sectors--all strategies required to be successful in managing diversified bond portfolios. Notably, Calvert's professionally managed bond funds ably navigated the turbulent markets of the third quarter, an accomplishment that would have been much more difficult for holders of individual bonds.

Lipper Award

One example of our fixed income success is the Lipper awards garnered by Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio. For the three-year period ended in 2006, the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I shares won a 2007 Lipper Fund Award1 for best risk-adjusted performance. The Portfolio is managed by the investment team, led by Gregory Habeeb, that also manages Calvert's other taxable fixed-income funds. This is the third time in the last four years that the Portfolio has won the Lipper Fund Award.

Calvert Continues to Grow

Also during the reporting period, Calvert surpassed $15 billion in total assets under management, including nearly $9 billion in fixed-income assets. As we continue to grow, Calvert remains committed to striving to maximize the performance of our funds.

With more than 30 years of experience managing fixed-income portfolios, we believe that Calvert has the depth of expertise needed to navigate these challenging market conditions.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our mutual funds, and we look forward to continuing our endeavor to meet your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

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

1. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sales in a given country are selected, then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with five or more distinct portfolios.

The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: three-year, five-year, 10-year, and overall. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper

Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or ten years. Source: Lipper Inc.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager of Calvert Asset Management Company

Investment Performance

Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) produced a total return of 5.47% for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2007. The benchmark Lehman 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index returned 5.21% for the same period. Interest-rate and credit-quality strategies were the primary drivers of the Fund's outperformance.

Investment Climate

Over the past 12 months, economic growth, inflation, and job growth have slowed. The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew at a 2.2% annualized pace,1 slightly below its long-term average. Core inflation2 declined to 1.8% by August, moving back into the comfort zone of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Unemployment held steady at 4.6%, but job creation declined from the previous 12-month period.3 Long-term interest rates were generally unchanged to slightly higher. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

 

Given the cooling of inflation, the Fed intended to keep the target fed funds rate steady at 5.25%. But those plans were disrupted as the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage turmoil broadened during the summer and risk aversion rose. Large losses experienced in hedge funds and other investment vehicles resulted in a flight to quality as many investors refused to roll over their short-term commercial paper. The Fed and other central banks were forced to inject large reserves into their respective banking systems to stabilize the markets.

Impacts of the Subprime Mortgage Fallout

Increasing uncertainty spread to global markets as the prices of securities backed by illiquid subprime mortgage assets fell sharply. Given the large amounts of leverage in the system, losses resulted in more forced selling to meet margin calls. The resulting sell-off dragged down prices of more liquid securities, including corporate, asset-backed, and municipal bonds, regardless of their fundamentals. Treasury securities rallied on a flight to quality and the yield difference between lower- and higher-quality securities widened sharply. The Fed made a surprise cut in the bank discount rate on August 17, making it less expensive for member banks to borrow directly from the Fed. A month later, it cut the target fed funds rate by 0.5% to further assuage the markets.

Portfolio Strategy

During the early part of the period, yields for short-term securities (maturing in one year or less) were higher than those of longer-term securities (maturing in 10 years or more)-- which means that investors were not being compensated for taking on the additional risk inherent in longer maturities. We positioned the Fund in anticipation of a return to normalcy, which paid off in the second half of the period when short-term rates declined much faster than long-term rates, returning the yield curve to its more traditional upward slope. As a result, yields for two-year Treasury notes fell 0.68% during the period while ten-year Treasury yields dipped just 0.08%.

Another strong contributor to the Fund's returns was an overweighting to both high-quality bonds with AAA ratings and to below-investment-grade corporate bonds--a "credit barbell strategy"--as those two sectors generally outperformed, with returns of 5.40% and 6.15%, respectively, compared with a return of 3.70% for the A rated bonds we had underweighted.4

The Fund did have a small position (less than 0.01% of assets) in bonds issued by Alliance Mortgage Investment, which filed for bankruptcy during the summer. As of September 30, 2007, the Fund also held bonds issued by Residential Mortgage LLC, a mortgage finance company, and Countrywide Financial. Both firms had engaged in subprime lending, but now focus on providing loans to borrowers with prime credit. The Fund also held securities issued by CIT Group, a commercial and consumer financial lender. Of course, almost all obligations issued or supported by financial services companies may have some exposure to the subprime market or related risks given their diverse business lines.

Outlook

The Fed's actions--combined with more clarity about troubled securities and the lack of a collapse by a major capital-markets player--seem to have thus far diffused the turmoil in the bond market. The volatility and yield premiums (the extra yield paid above that of a comparable Treasury bond) of riskier corporate bonds have declined, and some buyers have emerged to take advantage of market opportunities. Also, stock prices have recently set new highs.

Yet there easily could be another round of turmoil ahead. The deep housing slump increases the risk of recession, and the rise in commodity prices and the falling dollar may keep the overall (not core) inflation rate elevated. Therefore, these are very challenging times for bond investors. We believe that the Fed may further reduce the target fed funds rate this fall, but perhaps not by as much as some expect. So, we will continue to look for attractive buying opportunities, though we are also very aware of the elevated market volatility that is likely to last.

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 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).

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 Fund'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.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, 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 Short Duration Income Fund as of September 30, 2007, 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 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 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, 2007, securities valued at $1,330,000 or 0.2% of net assets 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.

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 managing the duration of the Fund. 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 Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 19.) A debt obligation may be 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). 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: 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. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

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, 2007, 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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2008. The contractual expense cap is 1.08% for Class A and .75% for Class I. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent that 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. Class A and Class C shares pay an annual rate of .30% and Class I shares pay an annual rate of .10%, based on their average daily net assets.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% and 1.00% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25% and 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

The Distributor received $68,756 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2007.

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 $85,146 for the year ended September 30, 2007. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $32,000 plus up to $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $984,872,382 and $790,577,494, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $1,527,932,268 and $1,541,169,770, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2007 for federal income tax purposes was $652,922,681. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $1,838,299 of which $2,758,315 related to appreciated securities and $4,596,614 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2007

2006

     Ordinary income

$24,927,456

$15,019,781

     Long term capital gain

63,189

534,398

          Total

$24,990,645

$15,554,179

As of September 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$4,894,975

Undistributed long-term capital gain

848,231

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(1,838,299)

 

$3,904,907

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales, Section 1256 contracts and interest defaults.

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. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to foreign currency transactions and asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

($4,118)

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

4,118

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, 2007, such purchase transactions were $6,450,000.

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 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, 2007. For the year ended September 30, 2007, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

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

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

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

Statement of Net Assets

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

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

Statement of Operations

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

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

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

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

Financial Highlights

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

PROXY VOTING

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

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

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio holdings

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

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended September 30, 2007 was a challenging environment for bond fund investors and portfolio managers. Economic signals continued to be mixed and, later in the reporting period, troubles in the U.S. subprime mortgage industry increased volatility in the bond market. For the entire 12-month period, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index--a commonly used benchmark for the overall bond market--gained 4.23%. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

In August, the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the discount rate, which is the rate that it charges banks to borrow directly from the Fed, by 0.5% to reassure investors that it would take action to prevent a full-blown credit crisis. In September, the Fed cut interest rates again, this time reducing both the federal funds target rate (the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans) and the discount rate. Markets reacted positively to the Fed's actions, but some believed that the Fed was essentially bailing out investors who took unnecessary risks.

Subprime Difficulties Roil the Bond Market

The volatility during the summer had an interesting source--the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market. Many of these mortgages were packaged into securities of varying complexity that found their way into portfolios ranging from hedge funds to commercial paper. Higher than expected defaults in subprime mortgages meant higher losses across a wide range of products sold to investors as relatively safe investments. A general flight to quality ensued, with investors pulling money out of funds exposed to subprime assets. Forced selling to meet higher redemptions and margin calls in leveraged funds hurt valuations even more. Investors fled to the safety of Treasuries and it became very difficult to sell anything but the most high-quality liquid bonds. In general, we saw a reevaluation of risk and a dearth of liquidity in the bond market.

Calvert's bond funds had only very small exposure to bonds backed by subprime mortgages or issued by lenders that have made subprime loans. Of course, bonds issued by a wide range of financial firms may be affected because of their own holdings of subprime-backed debt and their business ties to hedge funds. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis may continue to ripple through the fixed-income market, but this could also create some opportunities to buy corporate bonds at beaten-down prices that do not reflect their true values.

Essential Roles of Fixed-Income Funds

Bond funds play key roles in many investors' portfolios. Keeping in mind the risks of fixed-income investing, such as credit risk and interest rate risk, these funds can offer many benefits. Fixed-income funds that specialize in bonds in a specific range of maturities can help you diversify your bond fund portfolio, which in turn offers diversification advantages when combined with equity fund holdings. Of course, most bond funds also provide flows of income from the coupon (interest) payments on the holdings. In addition, bond funds may also benefit from the price appreciation in their portfolios during periods of falling market interest rates.

Benefits of Professional Management

Bonds are complex investments, which is why most investors choose to invest in professionally managed bond funds. Calvert has been managing fixed income funds for more than 25 years, and our fixed income portfolio team continually refines its investment process. They monitor the yield curve, analyze credit quality, and opportunistically move in and out of sectors--all strategies required to be successful in managing diversified bond portfolios. Notably, Calvert's professionally managed bond funds ably navigated the turbulent markets of the third quarter, an accomplishment that would have been much more difficult for holders of individual bonds.

Lipper Award

One example of our fixed income success is the Lipper awards garnered by Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio. For the three-year period ended in 2006, the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I shares won a 2007 Lipper Fund Award1 for best risk-adjusted performance. The Portfolio is managed by the investment team, led by Gregory Habeeb, that also manages Calvert's other taxable fixed-income funds. This is the third time in the last four years that the Portfolio has won the Lipper Fund Award.

Calvert Continues to Grow

Also during the reporting period, Calvert surpassed $15 billion in total assets under management, including nearly $9 billion in fixed-income assets. As we continue to grow, Calvert remains committed to striving to maximize the performance of our funds.

With more than 30 years of experience managing fixed-income portfolios, we believe that Calvert has the depth of expertise needed to navigate these challenging market conditions.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our mutual funds, and we look forward to continuing our endeavor to meet your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek

1. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sales in a given country are selected, then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with five or more distinct portfolios.

The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: three-year, five-year, 10-year, and overall. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or ten years. Source: Lipper Inc.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Senior Portfolio Manager of Calvert Asset Management Company

Investment Performance

For the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2007, Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) produced a total return of 5.92%, ahead of the benchmark Lehman U.S. Long Credit Index's 2.96% return. Interest-rate and

credit-quality strategies were the primary drivers of this outperformance.

Investment Climate

Over the past 12 months, economic growth, inflation, and job growth have slowed. The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew at a 2.2% annualized pace,1 slightly below its long-term average. Core inflation2 declined to 1.8% by August, moving back into the comfort zone of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Unemployment held steady at 4.6%, but job creation declined from the previous 12-month period.3 Long-term interest rates were generally unchanged to slightly higher. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

Given the cooling of inflation, the Fed intended to keep the target fed funds rate steady at 5.25%. But those plans were disrupted as the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage turmoil broadened during the summer and risk aversion rose. Large losses experienced in hedge funds and other investment vehicles resulted in a flight to quality as many investors refused to roll over their short-term commercial paper. The Fed and other central banks were forced to inject large reserves into their respective banking systems to stabilize the markets.

Impacts of the Subprime Mortgage Fallout

Increasing uncertainty spread to global markets as the prices of securities backed by illiquid subprime mortgage assets fell sharply. Given the large amounts of leverage in the system, losses resulted in more forced selling to meet margin calls. The resulting sell-off dragged down prices of more liquid securities, including corporate, asset-backed, and municipal bonds, regardless of their fundamentals. Treasury securities rallied on a flight to quality and the yield difference between lower- and higher-quality securities widened sharply. The Fed made a surprise cut in the bank discount rate on August 17, making it less expensive for member banks to borrow directly from the Fed. A month later, it cut the target fed funds rate by 0.5% to further assuage the markets.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund's outperformance was largely the result of its yield curve positioning, which correctly anticipated the yield curve reverting to a more normal upward slope (where long-term bonds provide higher yields than short-term ones) from an inverted one. Because yields and prices move in opposite directions, falling short-term yields provide an opportunity to profit from holding short-term securities. Accordingly, the Fund maintained a relatively high allocation to bonds with durations of two years or less and an underweight to bonds with longer maturities. These short-term securities also provided higher yields than long-term bonds for about half the reporting period, which also helped boost the income component of returns. (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.)

This allocation to shorter-term bonds was also beneficial as short-term interest rates declined significantly (two-year Treasury yields fell 0.70% over the period) while long-term yields rose only slightly. As a result, the yield curve steepened, with the spread between two-year and 30-year Treasury yields widening from 0.08% at end of September 2006 to 0.86% at the end of the period.

The Fund's "barbell" approach to credit quality was another strong contributor to returns. The Fund was overweighted to both very high-quality, AAA rated bonds and higher-yielding, below-investment-grade securities--both of which outperformed the AA, A and BBB rated bonds we had underweighted.4

The Fund did have a small position (less than 0.01% of assets) in Alliance Mortgage Investment, which filed for bankruptcy during the summer. As of September 30, 2007, the Fund held bonds issued by another lender, Residential Capital LLC, a mortgage finance company. This company now focuses on providing loans to borrowers with prime credit, but did issue subprime loans in the past. The Fund also held securities issued by CIT Group, a commercial and consumer financial lender. Of course, almost all securities issued or supported by financial services companies may have some exposure to the subprime market or related risks, given their diverse product lines.

Outlook

The Fed's actions--combined with more clarity about troubled securities and the lack of a collapse by a major capital-markets player--seem to have thus far diffused the turmoil in the bond market. The volatility and yield premiums (the extra yield paid above that of a comparable Treasury bond) of riskier corporate bonds have declined, and some buyers have emerged to take advantage of market opportunities. Also, stock prices have recently set new highs, reflecting resilient investor confidence in the financial markets.

Yet there easily could be another round of turmoil ahead. The deep housing slump increases the risk of recession, and the rise in commodity prices and the falling dollar may keep the overall (not core) inflation rate elevated. Therefore, these are very challenging times for bond investors. We believe that the Fed may further reduce the target fed funds rate this fall, but perhaps not by as much as some expect. So, we will continue to look for attractive buying opportunities, though we are also very aware of the elevated market volatility that is likely to last.

Performance Comparison

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

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

Shareholder Expense Example

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A ---- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers Class A shares. 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 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 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, 2007, 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.

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 managing the duration of the Fund. 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 15.) A debt obligation may be 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: 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. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

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, 2007, 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, 2008. 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 amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A.

The Distributor received $3,106 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2007.

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 $1,997 for the year ended September 30, 2007. 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 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 $25,183,194 and $19,491,717, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $35,619,659 and $34,646,136, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2007 for federal income tax purposes was $11,931,440. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $93,966, of which $73,090 related to appreciated securities and $167,056 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2007

2006

     Ordinary income

$383,798

$169,015

          Total

$383,798

$169,015

As of September 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$265,511

Undistributed long term capital gain

8,995

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(93,966)

 

$180,540

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 temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales, Section 1256 contracts, and interest defaults.

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. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassification for the Fund are asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

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 and the CVS Social Balanced 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. For the year ended September 30, 2007, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

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

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

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

Statement of Net Assets

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

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

Statement of Operations

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

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

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

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

Financial Highlights

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

PROXY VOTING

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

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

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio holdings

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

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended September 30, 2007 was a challenging environment for bond fund investors and portfolio managers. Economic signals continued to be mixed and, later in the reporting period, troubles in the U.S. subprime mortgage industry increased volatility in the bond market. For the entire 12-month period, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index--a commonly used benchmark for the overall bond market--gained 4.23%. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

In August, the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the discount rate, which is the rate that it charges banks to borrow directly from the Fed, by 0.5% to reassure investors that it would take action to prevent a full-blown credit crisis. In September, the Fed cut interest rates again, this time reducing both the federal funds target rate (the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans) and the discount rate. Markets reacted positively to the Fed's actions, but some believed that the Fed was essentially bailing out investors who took unnecessary risks.

Subprime Difficulties Roil the Bond Market

The volatility during the summer had an interesting source--the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market. Many of these mortgages were packaged into securities of varying complexity that found their way into portfolios ranging from hedge funds to commercial paper. Higher than expected defaults in subprime mortgages meant higher losses across a wide range of products sold to investors as relatively safe investments. A general flight to quality ensued, with investors pulling money out of funds exposed to subprime assets. Forced selling to meet higher redemptions and margin calls in leveraged funds hurt valuations even more. Investors fled to the safety of Treasuries and it became very difficult to sell anything but the most high-quality, liquid bonds. In general, we saw a reevaluation of risk and a dearth of liquidity in the bond market.

Calvert's bond funds had only very small exposure to bonds backed by subprime mortgages or issued by lenders that have made subprime loans. Of course, bonds issued by a wide range of financial firms may be affected because of their own holdings of subprime-backed debt and their business ties to hedge funds. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis may continue to ripple through the fixed-income market, but this could also create some opportunities to buy corporate bonds at beaten-down prices that do not reflect their true values.

Essential Roles of Fixed-Income Funds

Bond funds play key roles in many investors' portfolios. Keeping in mind the risks of fixed-income investing, such as credit risk and interest rate risk, these funds can offer many benefits. Fixed-income funds that specialize in bonds in a specific range of maturities can help you diversify your bond fund portfolio, which in turn offers diversification advantages when combined with equity fund holdings. Of course, most bond funds also provide flows of income from the coupon (interest) payments on the holdings. In addition, bond funds may also benefit from the price appreciation in their portfolios during periods of falling market interest rates.

Benefits of Professional Management

Bonds are complex investments, which is why most investors choose to invest in professionally managed bond funds. Calvert has been managing fixed income funds for more than 25 years, and our fixed income portfolio team continually refines its investment process. They monitor the yield curve, analyze credit quality, and opportunistically move in and out of sectors--all strategies required to be successful in managing diversified bond portfolios. Notably, Calvert's professionally managed bond funds ably navigated the turbulent markets of the third quarter, an accomplishment that would have been much more difficult for holders of individual bonds.

Lipper Award

One example of our fixed income success is the Lipper awards garnered by Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio. For the three-year period ended in 2006, the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I shares won a 2007 Lipper Fund Award1 for best risk-adjusted performance. The Portfolio is managed by the investment team, led by Gregory Habeeb, that also manages Calvert's other taxable fixed-income funds. This is the third time in the last four years that the Portfolio has won the Lipper Fund Award.

Calvert Continues to Grow

Also during the reporting period, Calvert surpassed $15 billion in total assets under management, including nearly $9 billion in fixed-income assets. As we continue to grow, Calvert remains committed to striving to maximize the performance of our funds.

With more than 30 years of experience managing fixed-income portfolios, we believe that Calvert has the depth of expertise needed to navigate these challenging market conditions.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our mutual funds, and we look forward to continuing our endeavor to meet your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

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

1. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sales in a given country are selected, then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with five or more distinct portfolios.

The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: three-year, five-year, 10-year, and overall. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or 10 years. Source: Lipper Inc.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager of Calvert Asset Management Company

Calvert Ultra-Short Floating Income Fund was launched on October 31, 2006, with Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (CAMCO) at the helm. The Fund seeks to provide positive returns under all market conditions and interest-rate environments, by maximizing income to the extent consistent with preservation of capital. It uses a relative-value approach to invest primarily in a mix of floating-rate securities with durations of one year or less. (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.)

Performance

Since inception, the Ultra-Short Floating Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) has returned 4.34% versus the benchmark Lehman Short Treasury 9-12 Month Index, which returned 5.10% over the same time period. The Fund's underperformance was largely due to its shorter relative duration and lower average credit quality than the Index.

Investment Climate

Over the past 12 months, economic growth, inflation, and job growth have slowed. The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew at a 2.2% annualized pace,1 slightly below its long-term average. Core inflation2 declined to 1.8% by August, moving back into the comfort zone of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Unemployment held steady at 4.6%, but job creation declined from the previous 12-month period.3 Long-term interest rates were generally unchanged to slightly higher. The three-month Treasury bill yield fell more than one percent to 3.82%. Money market rates for bank certificates of deposit and corporate commercial paper also declined, but not by nearly as much.

Given the cooling of inflation, the Fed intended to keep the target fed funds rate steady at 5.25%. But those plans were disrupted as the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage turmoil broadened during the summer and risk aversion rose. Large losses experienced in hedge funds and other investment vehicles resulted in a flight to quality as many investors refused to roll over their short-term commercial paper. The Fed and other central banks were forced to inject large reserves into their respective banking systems to stabilize the markets.

Impacts of the Subprime Mortgage Fallout

Increasing uncertainty spread to global markets as the prices of securities backed by illiquid subprime mortgage assets fell sharply. Given the large amounts of leverage in the system, losses resulted in more forced selling to meet margin calls. The resulting sell-off dragged down prices of more liquid securities, including corporate, asset-backed, and municipal bonds, regardless of their fundamentals. Treasury securities rallied on a flight to quality and the yield difference between lower- and higher-quality securities widened sharply. The Fed made a surprise cut in the bank discount rate on August 17, making it less expensive for member banks to borrow directly from the Fed. A month later, it cut the target fed funds rate by 0.5% to further assuage the markets.

Portfolio Strategy

For more than half of the period, very short-term securities (those maturing in three months or less) were attractive, offering higher yields than longer-term Treasury bonds. As a result, the Fund's overweight to these securities boosted its coupon income.

However, the Fund's relatively shorter duration (one month versus seven months for the Index, as of September 30, 2007) hampered performance when Treasury rates rallied significantly during the flight to quality in the last quarter of the period. Additionally, the Index is 100% Treasury securities while the Fund holds primarily corporate securities, which underperformed Treasuries with similar maturities during the period.

As of September 30, 2007, the Fund held some securities issued by Residential Capital LLC, a mortgage finance company, and Countrywide Financial which mature in less than one year. Both firms previously engaged in subprime lending, but now focus on providing loans to borrowers with prime credit. The Fund also held securities issued by CIT Group, a commerical and consumer financial leader. Of course, almost all obligations issued or supported by financial services companies may have some exposure to the subprime market or related risks, given their diverse business lines.

Outlook

The Fed's actions--combined with more clarity about troubled securities and the lack of a collapse by a major capital-markets player--seem to have thus far diffused the turmoil in the bond market. The volatility and yield premiums (the extra yield paid above that of a comparable Treasury bond) of riskier corporate bonds have declined, and some buyers have emerged to take advantage of market opportunities. Also, stock prices have recently set new highs, reflecting resilient investor confidence in the financial markets.

Yet there easily could be another round of turmoil ahead. The deep housing slump increases the risk of recession, and the rise in commodity prices and the falling dollar may keep the overall (not core) inflation rate elevated. Therefore, these are very challenging times for bond investors. We believe that the Fed may further reduce the target fed funds rate this fall, but perhaps not by as much as some expect. So, we will continue to look for attractive buying opportunities, though we are also very aware of the elevated market volatility that is likely to last.

Performance Comparison

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

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 1.25%, 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 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A ---- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Ultra-Short Floating 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 October 31, 2006. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%.

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 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 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, 2007, 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.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of managing the duration of the Fund. 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. A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

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 7 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: 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. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

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, 2007, 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 .30% of the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, and .29% of all assets above $1 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, $811 was payable at period end. In addition, $7,196 was payable at period end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2007.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2008. The contractual expense cap is .89%. 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 .25% of the average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $676 was payable at period end.

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 amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A. Under the terms of the agreement, $676 was payable at period end.

The Distributor received $345 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the period ended September 30, 2007.

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 $169 for the period ended September 30, 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, $31 was payable at period 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 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 period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $7,528,013 and $5,002,920, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $1,910,007 and $1,918,189, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2007 for federal income tax purposes was $3,286,148. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $19,918, of which $5,222 related to appreciated securities and $25,140 related to depreciated securities.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended September 30, 2007 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:

2007

     Ordinary income

$102,982

          Total

$102,982

As of September 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

     Undistributed ordinary income

$24,215

 

     Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

(19,918)

 
 

$4,297

 

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales.

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. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent difference causing such reclassification for the Fund is the tax treatment of asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

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 and the CVS Social Balanced 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 an outstanding loan balance of $25,213 at an interest rate of 5.75% at September 30, 2007. For the period ended September 30, 2007, 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.

(b) No information need be disclosed under this paragraph.

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

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.
