Dear Shareholder:

The six months ended March 31, 2008 featured deep turmoil in the financial markets in response to the subprime mortgage crisis, with steep declines in the equity markets. Investors continued to be spooked by the credit crunch, worries about an economic slowdown or recession, and oil prices that exceeded $110 per barrel. Against this backdrop, Calvert's socially responsible equity portfolio managers continued to face significant market headwinds. As oil prices remained high, energy stocks have fared well and persistent problems in the Financial sector continued to hamper stock performance in that arena. Working in our favor, however, was a flight to quality as investors favored stocks with dependable earnings and dividends.

By the numbers, the broad-market equity benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -12.46% from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. The Russell 1000 Index of large-cap stocks returned -12.41% over the six months, while the small-cap benchmark Russell 2000 Index posted a -14.02% return. Stocks outside the U.S. fared slightly better during the reporting period but still lost significant ground. The Citigroup/S&P World ex-U.S. Extended Market Index, a benchmark for foreign stocks, returned -11.24%.

Fed Takes Aggressive Action

The Federal Reserve has taken a nearly unprecedented series of actions to stabilize the financial markets and reassure investors. The Fed moved aggressively to add liquidity to the financial system and reduced its target federal funds rate by a total of 2.5 percentage points. Even more significant than the central bank's loosening of monetary policy were its actions in March, when it orchestrated a buyout of investment firm Bear Stearns to prevent it from abruptly going out of business. Although some say that the Fed essentially bailed out Bear Stearns and other financial firms from their overly aggressive risk-taking, the Fed's actions did prove effective, stabilizing the financial system and providing some confidence to investors.

Flight to Quality

Amid the market turbulence, no style of equity investment was truly dominant during the six-month period. In the fourth quarter of 2007, growth stocks generally outperformed value shares in a continuation of a trend that lasted for most of 2007. However, in the first quarter of 2008 that trend reversed and value stocks started to perform better than growth companies.

In terms of sector performance during the reporting period, most stock sectors lost value. Financial stocks had some of the most precipitous declines as investors remain extremely wary about the subprime mortgage exposures of banks and other financial companies. However, some stocks in other market sectors may be underpriced in light of their long-term value. 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. Now, in this more cautious environment, we see opportunities for the higher-quality stocks largely favored in our equity portfolios to shine.

Climate Change, Sudan Inroads

Shareholder advocacy means using our position as an owner in a company to push for improved corporate performance. Calvert routinely engages companies, policymakers, and other investors on critical governance and sustainability challenges. For 2008, Calvert is off to a strong start for the proxy voting season. To date, we have filed 25 resolutions and co-filed another four resolutions on our core issues (e.g., climate change, diversity, and disclosure) as well as the Sudan, privacy rights, and product safety. Overall, of the 29 submitted, 16 have thus far been withdrawn after the company involved agreed to address our concerns. For more information on the proxy votes, please visit www.calvert.com, select the "Socially Responsible Investing" tab and click on "Shareholder Advocacy."

Sudan Divestment

Calvert's continued partnership with the Sudan Divestment Task Force and the Save Darfur Coalition takes a variety of approaches to working to end this humanitarian crisis. As part of a coalition, we have filed shareholder resolutions calling on six major Wall Street firms that are among the largest U.S. shareholders of foreign oil companies to push Sudan to end the violence in Darfur.

In addition, Calvert was the only investment firm to submit a comment letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the period it considered implementing regulations related to mutual funds' divestment from the Sudan. The SEC rule that went into effect on April 30 included "safe harbor" legal protections for mutual funds under the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act that President Bush signed into law on December 31. Calvert lobbied the SEC to require strong disclosure requirements for mutual funds regarding any continued ownership of companies with operations in the Sudan and links to the country's government, which the SEC adopted in its rule.

In our March 14 comment letter, Calvert assistant vice president and associate general counsel Ivy Wafford Duke wrote "...it is the right of investors to ensure that their investments do not support genocide and do support peace and security in the Sudan. Full and complete disclosure by divesting companies helps advance this effort." We were gratified that the SEC incorporated this and several other provisions advanced by Calvert into its new rule.

Maintain a Long-Term View

In tough markets, investors should pay close attention to corporate fundamentals and sustainable business practices. The type of bottom-up, fundamental analysis that many of Calvert's portfolio managers conduct tends to favor companies that exhibit sustainable business practices and long-term financial performance.

The financial markets will probably continue to be volatile for at least the next few months, so it's important that you maintain a long-term view in terms of your investments and not get swept up in the day-to-day fluctuations in the market. Your financial advisor is an excellent source of guidance, so please continue to consult with him or her about your investment plan.

As always, thank you for your continued confidence in Calvert's investment products.

Sincerely,

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

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 six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008.

Renewable Energy

Last fall, Calvert collaborated with the Investor Network on Climate Risk policy working group (coordinated by Ceres) to create legislation that will establish incentives to improve energy efficiency, accelerate renewable energy, and boost vehicle fuel economy standards. In February, we also testified at the Maryland House of Delegates in support of its Global Warming Solutions Act. And in March, we participated in a "Policy Tour" organized by the Clean Technology and Sustainable Industries Organization to impress upon legislators the importance of policies that will encourage the growth of a clean technology and sustainable energy industry in the U.S.

Indigenous Peoples' Rights

To encourage the participation of Native American leaders in Indigenous Peoples' rights advocacy activities, Calvert co-sponsored a one-day pre-conference event at the annual SRI in the Rockies conference called "Native American Leaders for SRI" with the Indigenous Peoples Task Force of the Social Investment Forum. The unprecedented American Indian engagement at the event brought together leaders from 13 American Indian Tribes with socially responsible investment practitioners (money managers, community investors, and social researchers).

Subprime Lending

Calvert has developed an advocacy plan in response to the subprime mortgage crisis to persuade mortgage lenders across the industry to adopt transparent, responsible lending policies--which we believe will reduce the number of risky loans to borrowers who are the least able to repay.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain Funds is allocated to venture capital investment in innovative companies that are developing for-profit products or services that address important social or environmental issues. We recently increased our investment in groSolar (Global Resource Options, Inc.), a Vermont-based installer of solar cells and panels. Since our first purchase, the company acquired Energy Outfitters in December 2006, and now has a broad solar distribution network in North America.1

Given the success of our investment in the China Environment Fund II (2004), we have invested with the same team for the China Environment Fund III.1 Both funds have the same core philosophy and approach, but the holdings vary because of changing market conditions and events. Calvert was the only U.S. investor to participate in the China Environment Fund II, and its success has encouraged more interest in cleantech companies within China.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert's High Social Impact Investment (HSII) program, which is administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. This community investment program may allocate up to 3% of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.2

During the reporting period, the Calvert Social Investment Foundation made its first loan in the local currency to microfinance organization EDPYME Edyficar in Peru. This enables us to make the loan without passing on the risk that the dollar will be devalued, effectively reducing the amount of the loan.

Given the current economic environment in the U.S., it's also notable that the Foundation's Affordable Housing Portfolio continues to provide affordable financing and homes to low-income communities while avoiding the delinquencies and foreclosure rates common among conventional mortgage banking providers. The Portfolio currently holds $20 million in loans to 36 successful, nationally recognized nonprofit housing developers and lenders.

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.

1. As of March 31, 2008, groSolar (Global Resource Options, Inc.) was 0.26% of CSIF Equity Portfolio; China Environment Fund II (2004) was 0.01% of CSIF Equity Portfolio and 0.02% of Calvert World Values International Equity Fund; and China Environment Fund III was 0.01% of Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund.

2. As of March 31, 2008, Calvert Social Investment Foundation Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund, 1.19%; Calvert World Values International Equity Fund, 0.67%; Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund, 1.07%; and Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.20%. All holdings are subject to change without notice. The Calvert Social Investment Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation's Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Group-sponsored-investment product.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Performance

For the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008, Calvert New Vision Small Cap Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned -18.17% versus the Russell 2000® Index, which returned -14.02%. The Fund's underperformance was primarily due to a combination of stock selection and sector weighting.

Investment Climate

What began with a summer of subprime mortgage woes became a fall and winter of increasingly cold, hard market declines. This six-month period was plagued by talks of recession, the continued credit crisis, and the impending collapse of investment giant Bear Stearns--which led the Federal Reserve to orchestrate the firm's sale to JPMorgan Chase. All of these factors led to heavy volatility in the stock market, which ultimately ended the period well below where it started. In the end, stocks from large to small, and growth to value, declined--with growth stocks feeling the most pain,

especially during the first three months of 2008.

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.

**Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.

 

Based on Morningstar data, the performance of our investment style, small-cap core, varied during the period. In the fourth quarter of 2007, it had the worst performance of any market segment. But in the first quarter of 2008, growth-style stocks in all capitalizations finished at the bottom.

The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, contains both value and growth stocks from the general small-cap universe. Therefore, the Fund's recent tendency toward owning more "growthy" stocks hurt our relative performance.

Portfolio Strategy

What Worked Well

An underweight to Industrials and Utilities, coupled with good stock selection in Consumer Staples and Industrials, helped performance. True to the design of our investment management process, the smaller, more aggressive, active component of the portfolio underperformed as the market declined, while the larger, low-turnover, core component provided slightly more stability during the market turmoil.

Our best performers for the period represented a variety of industries. At the top was lighting manufacturer Genlyte Group, which climbed 46.8%, followed by FTI Consulting, which was up 40.7%.1 Human resources consultancy Watson Wyatt Worldwide increased 26.3% and is now our single largest holding. Other strong performers included Priceline.com and Datascope, a diversified medical device company.

What Didn't Work Well

Poor stock selections in Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology--as well as an underweighting to the latter--hurt overall Fund performance. We liquidated our position in four of the stocks on the 10 worst performers list during the period. Disappointing domestic sales drove mattress and pillow company Tempur-Pedic International down 69.2%. Other poor performers included technology firm Anadigics, clinical software provider Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, trendy footwear manufacturer Crocs, and DealerTrack Holdings, which creates online data solutions for the auto industry.

Outlook

We are disappointed that our first full year as sub-advisor for the New Vision Small Cap Fund ended with a return that trailed the Index by one percentage point. However, we feel confident that we can improve the longer-term performance record of this Fund by continuing to employ the same disciplined approach to investment management.

April 2008

1. All returns shown for individual holdings reflect that part of the reporting period the holdings were held.

As of March 31, 2008, the following companies represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Genlyte 0%, FTI Consulting 1.96%, Watson Wyatt 5.22%, Priceline.com 4.40%, Datascope 1.20%, Tempur-Pedic 0.46%%, Anadigics 0.59%, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions 0%, CROCS 1.42%, and DealerTrack Holdings 0%. All holdings are subject to change without notice.

 

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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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 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 March 31, 2008, securities valued at $1,237,821, or 1.2% 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) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), effective on the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2004 -- 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect on the Fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

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, $68,167 was payable at period end. In addition, $39,155 was payable at period end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during March 2008.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2009 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, $17,352 was payable at period end. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, CASC waived $28,120 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, $32,863 was payable at period end.

The Distributor received $12,762 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

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 $55,613 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Under the terms of the agreement, $9,118 was payable at period 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 period, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $33,080,767 and $43,066,607, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at March 31, 2008 for federal income tax purposes was $107,438,355. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $474,869, of which $13,723,369 related to appreciated securities and $13,248,500 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.

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.

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

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

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

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

Statement of Net Assets

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

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

Statement of Operations

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

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

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

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

Financial Highlights

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

Proxy Voting

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

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

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

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

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts

At a meeting held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

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

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board's familiarity with the Advisor's senior management through Board of Trustees' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that for the one-, three- and five-year annualized periods ended June 30, 2007, the Fund's performance was below the median of its peer group. The Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the same one-, three- and five-year annualized periods. The Board noted the recent change in the Subadvisor of the Fund and that performance information prior to March 2007 reflected the performance of the prior subadvisor. The Board also considered management's discussion of the Fund's recent performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action has been taken by the Advisor to address the Fund's performance.

In considering the Fund's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board also noted management's discussion of the Fund's expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor's profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert's operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund's Class I shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

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

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

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

The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor's ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record; the Fund's performance record and the Subadvisor's performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor's personnel; the Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor's compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Fund's performance during the one-, three- and five-year annualized periods ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the Fund's peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor's expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor as well as the Advisor's actions to address the Fund's performance.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm's length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. For each of the above reasons, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Board's deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor's management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration.

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

Conclusions

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken by the Advisor to address the Fund's performance; and (f) the Fund's advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

The six months ended March 31, 2008 featured turmoil in the financial markets that was almost unprecedented at times. Investors continued to be spooked by the credit crunch, worries about an economic slowdown or recession, and oil prices that exceeded $110 per barrel. This volatility had its roots in the fixed-income markets, where fears about the value of securities linked to subprime mortgages spread throughout the bond market and beyond, even affecting the values of securities with no direct connection to subprime mortgages. Notably, Calvert's taxable bond funds weathered the market turmoil well as a result of our emphasis on holding higher-quality securities and our general avoidance of most holdings that were directly related to subprime mortgages. However, the indirect effects of the subprime mortgage problems impacted our fixed-income funds through their holdings of securities issued by financial companies.

By the numbers, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index, a common benchmark for the entire U.S. bond market, returned 2.63% from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. The credit crisis also affected previously staid debt sectors, including auction-rate securities and municipal bonds. At the beginning of 2008, worries about the ability of bond insurers to meet their obligations on payment of principal and interest in the event of default on the municipal debt that they insure drove municipal yields sharply higher. The market was further roiled by liquidity problems in auction rate securities, a sector that had previously been viewed as having characteristics almost like cash.

Fed Takes Aggressive Action

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has taken a nearly unprecedented series of actions to stabilize the financial markets and reassure investors. The Fed moved aggressively to add liquidity to the financial system and reduced its target federal funds rate by a total of 2.5 percentage points.

In March, it boldly moved to stem the rising panic in the credit markets by increasing the size of its lending program for commercial banks and changing the length and terms of the loans. The Fed also allowed investment banks to borrow directly from the central bank and started accepting hard-to-sell mortgage-backed securities as collateral. When JPMorgan Chase swooped in to rescue Bear Stearns at the bargain basement price of $2 per share (later raised to $10), the Fed agreed to backstop up to $30 billion of Bear Stearns' illiquid holdings. Although some say that the Fed essentially bailed out Bear Stearns and other financial firms from their overly aggressive risk-taking, the Fed's actions did prove effective, stabilizing the financial system and providing some confidence to investors.

Lipper Awards

As a result of our experienced, professional team of portfolio managers and credit analysts, Calvert's taxable bond funds have steered a steady course through the considerable market turbulence. Our portfolio management team largely avoided investing in securities that are directly related to subprime mortgages as we maintained our focus on fundamental credit research and buying only bonds that represent significant value.

As evidence of our ongoing success and expertise in the fixed income arena, three of Calvert's taxable bond funds--Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio, Calvert Income Fund, and Calvert Long-Term Income Fund--received 2008 Lipper Awards as a result of their consistently high risk-adjusted returns.1 In fact, this is the fourth time in the last five years that CSIF Bond Portfolio (Class I shares) was won the Lipper Award for the three-year period. All of us at Calvert are extremely proud of these awards and of our taxable fixed-income management team led by Senior Vice President Greg Habeeb.

Maintain a Long-Term View

The financial markets will probably continue to be volatile for at least the next few months, so it's important that you maintain a long-term view in terms of your investments and not get swept up in the day-to-day fluctuations in the market. Your financial advisor is an excellent source of guidance, so please continue to consult with him or her about your investment plan.

As always, thank you for your continued confidence in Calvert's investment products.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.
April 2008

 

1. This is the fourth time in the last five years that the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares has won the Lipper Award for consistent risk-adjusted return for the three-year period. For the three-year periods ended December 31, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Class I Shares of the Portfolio were chosen from among 154, 152, 150, and 144 funds, respectively.

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 sale in a given country are selected, and 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.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares (CBDIX) ranked #1 (out of 128 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the five-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class A Shares (CSIBX) ranked #1 (out of 58 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2007.

For more information on any Calvert fund, please contact Calvert at 800.368.2748 for a free prospectus. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of an investment carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. Conversely, a drop in interest rates will generally cause an increase in the value of fixed-income securities.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Performance

For the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008, Calvert Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 0.47%. The benchmark Lehman U.S. Credit Index returned 2.63% for the same period. Fund underperformance versus the benchmark was the result of our short relative duration and allocation to non-Index below-investment- grade securities in a period where credit aversion drove Treasury yields significantly down and credit spreads wider.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period that ended March 31, 2008 was one of the most memorable times in credit markets' history. The first three months of the period were characterized by a spreading and deepening liquidity crunch that had roots in the U.S. subprime mortgage market collapse. The effects of the crunch were most acute in U.S., European, and U.K. money markets. Markets for a broad variety of asset-backed securities were severely impaired. The U.S., European and Swiss central banks cooperated on a very large scale to pump liquidity into banking systems. Old and new techniques were used by central banks to supply money to inter-bank lending markets in the summer and over the turn of the year. The overall effort was successful.

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.

In January, bond insurance companies teetered and the municipal bond market was greatly affected. Previously quiet corners of the credit market, such as municipal auction rate preferred securities and tender option bonds, were roiled. By early March the crisis had escalated into a broader panic about counterparty exposure in exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative markets. Margins were raised for short-term loans used to finance asset portfolios. The combination of liquidity crunch and higher margins forced a number of investors to accelerate the deleveraging of portfolios, dumping an increasing amount of even the most credit-worthy securities into a very weak market. From March 7 through March 16, the Fed made a series of historically significant policy announcements to stem the growing panic. These policy moves included opening a borrowing window for investment banks and financing for $30 billion of Bear Stearns' most illiquid assets. The Fed was successful in calming the panic.

Over the reporting period, economic growth slowed while inflation remained steady. The Fed cut the Fed funds rate from 4.75% to 2.25%. Fed rate cuts and a flight to quality during the market turmoil led the three-month T-bill yield to fall from 3.82% to 1.38%. The 10-year treasury yield fell from 4.59% to 3.45%. However, the extremely difficult market conditions sent municipal and corporate bond yields higher.1

Portfolio Strategy

Going into the period, the Fund had an overweighting to securities with high credit quality and little exposure to asset-backed securities--with 38% of the Fund invested in

AAA rated bonds versus 11% for the benchmark as of September 30, 2007--which helped limit the Fund's exposure to fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Nevertheless, the Fund's short duration relative to the index (the Fund's duration was 4.31 years versus 6.08 years for the benchmark as of September 30, 2007) hurt returns as the subprime contagion spread to high-credit-quality sectors and liquidity froze. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest-rate movements.). As a result, a flight to quality ensued and yields of two- and 10-year Treasuries fell 1.14 and 2.42 percentage points, respectively, during the period. Our yield curve strategies and active Treasury trading helped offset some of the drag from short duration in a period where short yields rallied substantially more than those of longer-duration Treasuries.

We began to gradually increase the Fund's holdings of corporate bonds when falling prices started to represent attractive value. However, these moves proved to be premature, as corporate bond prices continued to fall and the difference between yields on corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds widened significantly.

Outlook

Market anxiety appears to have crested in March, though neither the credit markets nor the economy are out of the woods. Credit markets need to stabilize and better flow, something we expect to see over the remainder of 2008. By mid-2008, however, credit markets will have been under severe stress for a year. As a result, economic growth may remain sub-par for a protracted period. The turmoil in the credit markets, though, has resulted in extremely attractive buying opportunities in most credit market sectors, including corporate debt and asset-backed securities. We remain poised to take advantage of such opportunities in markets that we expect to remain volatile for some time.

April 2008

1. The yield on the Bond Buyer 20 Index of state and local general obligation bonds rose 0.48 percentage points and the yield on the Moody's Baa-rated corporate bond index increased 0.31 percentage points between September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

 

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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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 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 six 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. Effective February 29, 2008, the Fund began to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund's Distributor to offer Class Y 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 March 31, 2008, securities valued at $145,282,653 or 2.3% 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 and Class R 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) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), effective on the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2004 -- 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect on the Fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the period, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $5,755,248,416 and $5,629,280,912, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $22,006,828,936 and $22,515,965,273, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at March 31, 2008 for federal income tax purposes was $6,393,081,660. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $323,304,594, of which $57,772,468 related to appreciated securities and $381,077,062 related to depreciated securities.

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 six months ended March 31, 2008, such purchase and sales transactions were $36,415,000 and $36,415,000, 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. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2008. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, 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. 

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

At a meeting held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

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

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

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

Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that for the three- and five-year annualized periods ended June 30, 2007, the Fund's performance was above the median of its peer group and was below the median of its peer group for the one- year annualized period ended June 30, 2007. The Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the five-year annualized period and underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three- year annualized periods. The Board noted the Fund's strong performance over time. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund's advisory fee was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor's profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert's operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund's Class R shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund contained a breakpoint that reduced the advisory fee rate on assets above a specified level, noting that the Fund currently benefited from economies of scale. The Board noted that management was proposing two additional breakpoints.

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

Conclusions

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possessed the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund's advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

The six months ended March 31, 2008 featured turmoil in the financial markets that was almost unprecedented at times. Investors continued to be spooked by the credit crunch, worries about an economic slowdown or recession, and oil prices that exceeded $110 per barrel. This volatility had its roots in the fixed-income markets, where fears about the value of securities linked to subprime mortgages spread throughout the bond market and beyond, even affecting the values of securities with no direct connection to subprime mortgages. Notably, Calvert's taxable bond funds weathered the market turmoil well as a result of our emphasis on holding higher-quality securities and our general avoidance of most holdings that were directly related to subprime mortgages. However, the indirect effects of the subprime mortgage problems impacted our fixed-income funds through their holdings of securities issued by financial companies.

By the numbers, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index, a common benchmark for the entire U.S. bond market, returned 2.63% from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. The credit crisis also affected previously staid debt sectors, including auction-rate securities and municipal bonds. At the beginning of 2008, worries about the ability of bond insurers to meet their obligations on payment of principal and interest in the event of default on the municipal debt that they insure drove municipal yields sharply higher. The market was further roiled by liquidity problems in auction rate securities, a sector that had previously been viewed as having characteristics almost like cash.

Fed Takes Aggressive Action

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has taken a nearly unprecedented series of actions to stabilize the financial markets and reassure investors. The Fed moved aggressively to add liquidity to the financial system and reduced its target federal funds rate by a total of 2.5 percentage points.

In March, it boldly moved to stem the rising panic in the credit markets by increasing the size of its lending program for commercial banks and changing the length and terms of the loans. The Fed also allowed investment banks to borrow directly from the central bank and started accepting hard-to-sell mortgage-backed securities as collateral. When JPMorgan Chase swooped in to rescue Bear Stearns at the bargain basement price of $2 per share (later raised to $10), the Fed agreed to backstop up to $30 billion of Bear Stearns' illiquid holdings. Although some say that the Fed essentially bailed out Bear Stearns and other financial firms from their overly aggressive risk-taking, the Fed's actions did prove effective, stabilizing the financial system and providing some confidence to investors.

Lipper Awards

As a result of our experienced, professional team of portfolio managers and credit analysts, Calvert's taxable bond funds have steered a steady course through the considerable market turbulence. Our portfolio management team largely avoided investing in securities that are directly related to subprime mortgages as we maintained our focus on fundamental credit research and buying only bonds that represent significant value.

As evidence of our ongoing success and expertise in the fixed income arena, three of Calvert's taxable bond funds--Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio, Calvert Income Fund, and Calvert Long-Term Income Fund--received 2008 Lipper Awards as a result of their consistently high risk-adjusted returns.1 In fact, this is the fourth time in the last five years that CSIF Bond Portfolio (Class I shares) has won the Lipper Award for the three-year period. All of us at Calvert are extremely proud of these awards and of our taxable fixed-income management team led by Senior Vice President Greg Habeeb.

Maintain a Long-Term View

The financial markets will probably continue to be volatile for at least the next few months, so it's important that you maintain a long-term view in terms of your investments and not get swept up in the day-to-day fluctuations in the market. Your financial advisor is an excellent source of guidance, so please continue to consult with him or her about your investment plan.

As always, thank you for your continued confidence in Calvert's investment products.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek

1. This is the fourth time in the last five years that the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares has won the Lipper Award for consistent risk-adjusted return for the three-year period. For the three-year periods ended December 31, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Class I Shares of the Portfolio were chosen from among 154, 152, 150, and 144 funds, respectively.

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 sale in a given country are selected, and 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.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of an investment carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. Conversely, a drop in interest rates will generally cause an increase in the value of fixed-income securities.

Performance

Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 2.63% versus 3.78% for the Lehman 1-5 Year Credit Index for the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008. A short duration relative to the index and an allocation to below-investment-grade securities not in the benchmark drove the Fund's underperformance. (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.) In addition, markdowns in several securities, including high yield securities from Residential Capital and other financial issuers, contributed to underperformance.1

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.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2008 was one of the most memorable periods in the history of the bond market. During the first three months, the collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market spurred a severe liquidity crunch that was acutely felt in U.S., European, and United Kingdom money markets. Extensive cooperation between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and European central banks pumped enough liquidity back into the system to restore calm by the end of 2007.

However, issues with the financial stability of bond insurers arose in January and roiled the typically staid municipal bond market. By early March, the crisis had escalated into a broad sell-off of even the most credit-worthy securities into an already weak market. In response, the Fed made a series of historically significant policy announcements--such as allowing investment banks to borrow directly from the Fed and agreeing to finance $30 billion of Bear Stearns' most illiquid assets so the company could be sold--which calmed the turmoil by the end of March.

Throughout the period, economic growth slowed while inflation remained steady. A series of cuts over the six-month period reduced the target federal funds rate from 4.75% to 2.25%. As a result of a flight to quality amid market turmoil, the three-month Treasury bill yield dropped from 3.82% to 1.38% while the ten-year Treasury bond yield fell from 4.59% to 3.45%. However, the extremely difficult market conditions sent municipal and corporate bond yields higher.2

Portfolio Strategy

Going into the period, the Fund had an overweighting to securities with high credit quality and little exposure to asset backed securities--with more than half of the Fund invested in AAA rated bonds as of September 30, 2007--which helped limit the Fund's exposure to fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Nevertheless, the Fund's short duration relative to the index (the Fund's duration was 1.2 years versus 2.89 years for the benchmark as of March 31, 2008) detracted from performance as Treasury rates generally fell during the period. However, the Fund's holdings of short-term floating-rate instruments also helped returns as risk premiums widened through the period, hurting the values of long-term corporate bonds to a much greater extent.

We began to gradually increase the Fund's holdings of corporate bonds when falling prices started to represent attractive value. However, these moves proved to be premature, as corporate bond prices continued to fall and the difference between yields on corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds widened significantly.

Outlook

Market anxiety appears to have crested in March, though neither the credit markets nor the economy are out of the woods. Credit markets need to stabilize and better flow, something we expect to see over the remainder of 2008. By mid-2008, however, credit markets will have been under severe stress for a year. As a result, economic growth may remain sub-par for a protracted period.

The good news is that recent turmoil in the bond market has beaten down the prices of bonds in most sectors, including corporate debt and asset-backed securities, so we may have more opportunities to add to our corporate bond holdings in the months ahead. Of course, we will also strive to take advantage of interest rate movements in the months to come.

April 2008

1. As of March 31, 2008, Residential Capital represented 0.7% of the Fund's net assets. All holdings are subject to change without notice.

2. The yield on the Bond Buyer 20 Index of state and local general obligation bonds rose 0.48 percentage points and the yield on the Moody's Baa-rated corporate bond index increased 0.31 percentage points between September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

 

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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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 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 four 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. Effective February 29, 2008, the Fund began to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund's Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y 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 March 31, 2008, securities valued at $5,749,176 or 0.6% 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 20.) 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) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), effective on the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2004 -- 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect on the Fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

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 net assets: .35% on the first $750 million, and .325% over $750 million.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2009. 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. The Advisor voluntarily reimbursed Class Y shares for expenses of $1,166 for the period ended March 31, 2008.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 and Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

The Distributor received $52,174 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

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 $64,790 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. 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 period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $1,051,069,450 and $873,972,105, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $1,212,206,337 and $1,218,460,717, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at March 31, 2008 for federal income tax purposes was $867,773,255. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $8,136,308 of which $9,408,110 related to appreciated securities and $17,544,418 related to depreciated securities.

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. There were no such transactions for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

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 March 31, 2008. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, 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. 

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

At a meeting held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

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

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

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

In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that for the one-, three- and five-year annualized periods ended June 30, 2007, the Fund's performance was above the median of its peer group. The Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the same one-, three- and five-year annualized periods. The Board noted the Fund's strong performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor, the Fund's performance and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor's profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert's operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund's Class A and Class I shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund's growth and size on its performance and fees. The Board noted that management was proposing adding a breakpoint to the advisory fee. The Board also noted that if the Fund's assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

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

Conclusions

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possessed the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund's advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

The six months ended March 31, 2008 featured turmoil in the financial markets that was almost unprecedented at times. Investors continued to be spooked by the credit crunch, worries about an economic slowdown or recession, and oil prices that exceeded $110 per barrel. This volatility had its roots in the fixed-income markets, where fears about the value of securities linked to subprime mortgages spread throughout the bond market and beyond, even affecting the values of securities with no direct connection to subprime mortgages. Notably, Calvert's taxable bond funds weathered the market turmoil well as a result of our emphasis on holding higher-quality securities and our general avoidance of most holdings that were directly related to subprime mortgages. However, the indirect effects of the subprime mortgage problems impacted our fixed-income funds through their holdings of securities issued by financial companies.

By the numbers, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index, a common benchmark for the entire U.S. bond market, returned 2.63% from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. The credit crisis also affected previously staid debt sectors, including auction-rate securities and municipal bonds. At the beginning of 2008, worries about the ability of bond insurers to meet their obligations on payment of principal and interest in the event of default on the municipal debt that they insure drove municipal yields sharply higher. The market was further roiled by liquidity problems in auction rate securities, a sector that had previously been viewed as having characteristics almost like cash.

Fed Takes Aggressive Action

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has taken a nearly unprecedented series of actions to stabilize the financial markets and reassure investors. The Fed moved aggressively to add liquidity to the financial system and reduced its target federal funds rate by a total of 2.5 percentage points.

In March, it boldly moved to stem the rising panic in the credit markets by increasing the size of its lending program for commercial banks and changing the length and terms of the loans. The Fed also allowed investment banks to borrow directly from the central bank and started accepting hard-to-sell mortgage-backed securities as collateral. When JPMorgan Chase swooped in to rescue Bear Stearns at the bargain basement price of $2 per share (later raised to $10), the Fed agreed to backstop up to $30 billion of Bear Stearns' illiquid holdings. Although some say that the Fed essentially bailed out Bear Stearns and other financial firms from their overly aggressive risk-taking, the Fed's actions did prove effective, stabilizing the financial system and providing some confidence to investors.

Lipper Awards

As a result of our experienced, professional team of portfolio managers and credit analysts, Calvert's taxable bond funds have steered a steady course through the considerable market turbulence. Our portfolio management team largely avoided investing in securities that are directly related to subprime mortgages as we maintained our focus on fundamental credit research and buying only bonds that represent significant value.

As evidence of our ongoing success and expertise in the fixed income arena, three of Calvert's taxable bond funds--Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio, Calvert Income Fund, and Calvert Long-Term Income Fund--received 2008 Lipper Awards as a result of their consistently high risk-adjusted returns.1 In fact, this is the fourth time in the last five years that CSIF Bond Portfolio (Class I shares) has won the Lipper Award for the three-year period. All of us at Calvert are extremely proud of these awards and of our taxable fixed-income management team led by Senior Vice President Greg Habeeb.

Maintain a Long-Term View

The financial markets will probably continue to be volatile for at least the next few months, so it's important that you maintain a long-term view in terms of your investments and not get swept up in the day-to-day fluctuations in the market. Your financial advisor is an excellent source of guidance, so please continue to consult with him or her about your investment plan.

As always, thank you for your continued confidence in Calvert's investment products.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.
April 2008

1. This is the fourth time in the last five years that the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares has won the Lipper Award for consistent risk-adjusted return for the three-year period. For the three-year periods ended December 31, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Class I Shares of the Portfolio were chosen from among 154, 152, 150, and 144 funds, respectively.

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 sale in a given country are selected, and 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.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares (CBDIX) ranked #1 (out of 128 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the five-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class A Shares (CSIBX) ranked #1 (out of 58 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Income Fund Class A Shares (CFICX) ranked #1 (out of 48 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Income Fund Class I Shares (CINCX) ranked #1 (out of 100 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the five-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A Shares (CLDAX) ranked #1 (out of 117 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the three-year period ended December 31, 2007.

For more information on any Calvert fund, please contact Calvert at 800.368.2748 for a free prospectus. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of an investment carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. Conversely, a drop in interest rates will generally cause an increase in the value of fixed-income securities.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Gregory Habeeb
Senior Portfolio Manager of Calvert Asset Management Company

Performance

Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 5.86% for the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008, outperforming the benchmark Lehman Long U.S. Credit Index, which returned 0.16%. An overweight to Treasury securities drove the Fund's outperformance.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2008 was one of the most memorable periods in the history of the bond market. During the first three months, the collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market spurred a severe liquidity crunch that was acutely felt in U.S., European, and United Kingdom money markets. Extensive cooperation between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and European central banks pumped enough liquidity back into the system to restore calm by the end of 2007.

However, issues with the financial stability of bond insurers arose in January and roiled the typically staid municipal bond market. By early March, the crisis had escalated into a broad sell-off of even the most creditworthy securities into an already weak market. In response, the Fed made a series of historically significant policy announcements--such as allowing investment banks to borrow directly from the Fed and agreeing to finance $30 billion of Bear Stearns' most illiquid assets so the company could be sold--which calmed the turmoil by the end of March.

Throughout the period, economic growth slowed while inflation remained steady. A series of cuts over the six-month period reduced the target federal funds rate from 4.75% to 2.25%. As a result of a flight to quality amid market turmoil, the three-month Treasury bill yield dropped from 3.82% to 1.38% while the 10-year Treasury bond yield fell from 4.59% to 3.45%. However, the extremely difficult market conditions sent municipal and corporate bond yields higher.1

Portfolio Strategy

Going into the period, the Fund had a 24% allocation to Treasury securities, which was the best-performing bond market sector during the period. Also, our yield curve strategies offset the drag caused by the Fund's significantly shorter duration relative to the benchmark index,2 as yields of short-term Treasuries fell far more than those of long-term Treasury bonds during a flight to quality among market turmoil.3 (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price move relative to interest-rate movements.)

We began taking advantage of falling corporate bond prices to gradually increase the Fund's holdings in this area. However, these moves proved to be premature, as the difference between yields on corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds continued to widen, hurting performance.

Outlook

Market anxiety appears to have crested in March, though neither the credit markets nor the economy are out of the woods. Credit markets need to stabilize and better flow, something we expect to see over the remainder of 2008. By mid-2008, however, credit markets will have been under severe stress for a year. As a result, economic growth may remain sub-par for a protracted period.

The good news is that recent turmoil in the bond market has beaten down the prices of bonds in most sectors, including corporate debt and asset-backed securities, so we may continue to opportunistically add to our corporate bond holdings in the months ahead.

April 2008

1 The yield on the Bond Buyer 20 Index of state and local general obligation bonds rose 0.48 percentage points and the yield on the Moody's Baa-rated corporate bond index increased 0.31 percentage points between September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

2 The Fund's duration was 6.20 years versus 11.57 years for the Index as of September 30, 2007.

3 Yields of two-year Treasury notes fell 2.42 percentage points while yields of thirty-year Treasury bonds fell 0.49 percentage points during the period.

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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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 which 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 March 31, 2008, securities valued at $285,338, or 1.5% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

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

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) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), effective on the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2005 -- 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect on the Fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

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, 2009. 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 $4,930 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

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 $1,343 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. 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 $19,038,524 and $15,239,433, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $27,708,669 and $28,181,373, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at March 31, 2008 for federal income tax purposes was $18,028,572. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $86,757, of which $286,819 related to appreciated securities and $373,576 related to depreciated securities.

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 no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2008. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, 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. 

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

At a meeting held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses and fees to comparable mutual funds.

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

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

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

In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with its benchmark and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its Lipper peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that for the one-year annualized periods ended June 30, 2007, the Fund's performance was above the median of its peer group. The Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year annualized period. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (after waivers and reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Class A shares of the Fund, noting that the Advisor was currently reimbursing fund expenses in excess of the entire advisory fee. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor's profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert's operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund's Class A shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund's size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board also noted that if the Fund's assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate given the Fund's current size.

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

Conclusions

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possessed the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund's advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

The six months ended March 31, 2008 featured turmoil in the financial markets that was almost unprecedented at times. Investors continued to be spooked by the credit crunch, worries about an economic slowdown or recession, and oil prices that exceeded $110 per barrel. This volatility had its roots in the fixed-income markets, where fears about the value of securities linked to subprime mortgages spread throughout the bond market and beyond, even affecting the values of securities with no direct connection to subprime mortgages. Notably, Calvert's taxable bond funds weathered the market turmoil well as a result of our emphasis on holding higher-quality securities and our general avoidance of most holdings that were directly related to subprime mortgages. However, the indirect effects of the subprime mortgage problems impacted our fixed-income funds through their holdings of securities issued by financial companies.

By the numbers, the Lehman U.S. Credit Index, a common benchmark for the entire U.S. bond market, returned 2.63% from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. The credit crisis also affected previously staid debt sectors, including auction-rate securities and municipal bonds. At the beginning of 2008, worries about the ability of bond insurers to meet their obligations on payment of principal and interest in the event of default on the municipal debt that they insure drove municipal yields sharply higher. The market was further roiled by liquidity problems in auction rate securities, a sector that had previously been viewed as having characteristics almost like cash.

Fed Takes Aggressive Action

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has taken a nearly unprecedented series of actions to stabilize the financial markets and reassure investors. The Fed moved aggressively to add liquidity to the financial system and reduced its target federal funds rate by a total of 2.5 percentage points.

In March, it boldly moved to stem the rising panic in the credit markets by increasing the size of its lending program for commercial banks and changing the length and terms of the loans. The Fed also allowed investment banks to borrow directly from the central bank and started accepting hard-to-sell mortgage-backed securities as collateral. When JPMorgan Chase swooped in to rescue Bear Stearns at the bargain basement price of $2 per share (later raised to $10), the Fed agreed to backstop up to $30 billion of Bear Stearns' illiquid holdings. Although some say that the Fed essentially bailed out Bear Stearns and other financial firms from their overly aggressive risk-taking, the Fed's actions did prove effective, stabilizing the financial system and providing some confidence to investors.

Lipper Awards

As a result of our experienced, professional team of portfolio managers and credit analysts, Calvert's taxable bond funds have steered a steady course through the considerable market turbulence. Our portfolio management team largely avoided investing in securities that are directly related to subprime mortgages as we maintained our focus on fundamental credit research and buying only bonds that represent significant value.

As evidence of our ongoing success and expertise in the fixed income arena, three of Calvert's taxable bond funds--Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Bond Portfolio, Calvert Income Fund, and Calvert Long-Term Income Fund--received 2008 Lipper Awards as a result of their consistently high risk-adjusted returns.1 In fact, this is the fourth time in the last five years that CSIF Bond Portfolio (Class I shares) has won the Lipper Award for the three-year period. All of us at Calvert are extremely proud of these awards and of our taxable fixed-income management team led by Senior Vice President Greg Habeeb.

Maintain a Long-Term View

The financial markets will probably continue to be volatile for at least the next few months, so it's important that you maintain a long-term view in terms of your investments and not get swept up in the day-to-day fluctuations in the market. Your financial advisor is an excellent source of guidance, so please continue to consult with him or her about your investment plan.

As always, thank you for your continued confidence in Calvert's investment products.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.
April 2008

 

1. This is the fourth time in the last five years that the Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares has won the Lipper Award for consistent risk-adjusted return for the three-year period. For the three-year periods ended December 31, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Class I Shares of the Portfolio were chosen from among 154, 152, 150, and 144 funds, respectively.

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 sale in a given country are selected, and 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.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class I Shares (CBDIX) ranked #1 (out of 128 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the five-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Social Investment Fund Bond Portfolio Class A Shares (CSIBX) ranked #1 (out of 58 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds A Rated classification for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Income Fund Class A Shares (CFICX) ranked #1 (out of 48 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Income Fund Class I Shares (CINCX) ranked #1 (out of 100 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the five-year period ended December 31, 2007.

The Calvert Long-Term Income Fund Class A Shares (CLDAX) ranked #1 (out of 117 funds) in the Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated classification for the three-year period ended December 31, 2007.

For more information on any Calvert fund, please contact Calvert at 800.368.2748 for a free prospectus. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of an investment carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. Conversely, a drop in interest rates will generally cause an increase in the value of fixed-income securities.

Portfolio Management Discussion

Senior Portfolio Manager of Calvert Asset Management Company

Performance

Calvert Ultra-Short Floating Income Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 2.10% versus 3.56% for the Lehman Short Treasury 9-12 Month Index over the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008. A short duration relative to the index and an allocation to below-investment-grade securities not in the benchmark drove the Fund's underperformance. (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.) In addition, markdowns in several securities, including high yield securities from Residential Capital and other financial issuers, contributed to underperformance.1

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2008 was one of the most memorable periods in the history of the bond market. During the first three months, the collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market spurred a severe liquidity crunch that was acutely felt in U.S., European, and United Kingdom money markets. Extensive cooperation between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and European central banks pumped enough liquidity back into the system to restore calm by the end of 2007.

However, issues with the financial stability of bond insurers arose in January and roiled the typically staid municipal bond market. By early March, the crisis had escalated into a broad sell-off of even the most creditworthy securities into an already weak market. In response, the Fed made a series of historically significant policy announcements--such as allowing investment banks to borrow directly from the Fed and agreeing to finance $30 billion of Bear Stearns' most illiquid assets so the company could be sold--which calmed the turmoil by the end of March.

Throughout the period, economic growth slowed while inflation remained steady. A series of cuts over the six-month period reduced the target federal funds rate from 4.75% to 2.25%. As a result of a flight to quality amid market turmoil, the three-month Treasury bill yield dropped from 3.82% to 1.38% while the 10-year Treasury bond yield fell from 4.59% to 3.45%. However, the extremely difficult market conditions sent municipal and corporate bond yields higher.2

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.

Portfolio Strategy

Going into the period, the Fund had an overweighting to securities with high credit quality and little asset-backed exposure--with more than half of the Fund invested in AAA rated notes and cash as of September 30, 2007--which helped limit the Fund's exposure to fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis.

However, financial concerns with bond insurers weighed on the insured taxable municipal sector and our holdings in it. As a result, investors sought out Treasury securities, driving yields on three- and six-month Treasury bills down significantly during the period. So, our shorter relative duration of about one month versus almost nine months for the benchmark did not help performance. However, our yield curve strategies helped offset some of the drag from the short relative duration.

Outlook

Market anxiety appears to have crested in March, though neither the credit markets nor the economy are out of the woods. Credit markets need to stabilize and better flow, something we expect to see over the remainder of 2008. By mid-2008, however, credit markets will have been under severe stress for a year. As a result, economic growth may remain sub-par for a protracted period.

The good news is that recent turmoil in the bond market has beaten down the prices of bonds in most sectors, which has created some buying opportunities that appear attractive. We expect markets to remain volatile for some time, and we will continue to look for these types of opportunities in the months ahead.

April 2008

1 As of March 31, 2008, Residential Capital represented 0.7% of the Fund's net assets. All holdings are subject to change without notice.

2 The yield on the Bond Buyer 20 Index of state and local general obligation bonds rose 0.48 percentage points and the yield on the Moody's Baa-rated corporate bond index increased 0.31 percentage points between September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

 

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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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 March 31, 2008, securities valued at $9,279, or 0.2% 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.

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) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), effective on the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax year ended September 30, 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect on the Fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2009. 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.

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 $266 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

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 $237 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. 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 $6,922,476 and $6,226,297, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $6,516,562 and $6,558,054, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at March 31, 2008 for federal income tax purposes was $4,290,240. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $95,395, of which $4,795 related to appreciated securities and $100,190 related to depreciated securities.

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 no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2008. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, 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. 

Basis for Board's Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

At a meeting held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

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

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund's growth and size on the Fund's performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor's process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

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

In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with its benchmark and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that for the six-month annualized period ended June 30, 2007, the Fund underperformed its peer group. The Trustees noted the Fund's recent inception date. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund, noting that the Advisor was currently reimbursing fund expenses in excess of the entire advisory fee for Class A shares. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor, and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor's profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert's operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor's current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund's Class A shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund's growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that given the Fund's current level of assets, the Fund was unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee schedule. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time given the Fund's current size.

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

Conclusions

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possessed the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund's advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
