Dear Shareholder:

     The financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 4


 

facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2011, Calvert Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 1.14%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index, returned -0.98% for the period. The Fund’s short relative duration strategy was primarily responsible for its outperformance. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative returns.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period was characterized by four clear phases in interest-rate movements. The first was a steady and strong upward movement in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased from 2.33% in early October to 3.57% by mid-December. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement of new Treasury purchases in November did little to slow the advance as economic data improved. In December, many analysts raised their forecasts for eco-

nomic growth, and stocks rallied as a larger-than-expected fiscal stimulus package was passed. The second phase featured a fairly quiet trading range. During phase three, from early to mid-February, yields rose again as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.

In the final phase, yields began to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility were amplified by the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields recovered some ground.  The 10-year Treasury yield ended the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the
middle of the range over the full reporting period.1

During the reporting period, we estimate that the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3%.2 This is very near the 50-year average growth rate, but remains below the rate seen at a similar point in the business cycle after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1% during the reporting period,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund benefitted from higher interest rates across the yield curve. The yields on two- and 10-year Treasuries increased by 35 and 91 basis points, respectively, over the six-month reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative performance. At the start of the reporting period, 12.89% of the Fund was allocated to high-yield bonds. Over the reporting period, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 7.23%, while the more broadly based Barclays Capital U.S. Credit

GROWTH OF $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.23%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

Index returned -0.98%.

The Fund employed a yield-curve-flattening strategy. This had a mixed effect as some portions of the yield curve narrowed while others widened. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the yield differential between the 10- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries, which helped performance, as this section of the yield curve narrowed from 160 basis points to 104 basis points. However, the Fund also was positioned to benefit from narrowing of the yield differential between two- and 10- year Treasuries. This section of the yield curve widened from 209 to 265 basis points during the reporting period, which hurt performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

Outlook

The U.S. economy continues to recover from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging in household and financial sectors continues, suggesting moderate, not heated, growth and consumer price inflation. We believe monetary policy will remain easy in coming quarters while federal, state, and local fiscal stimuli continue to recede or contract. The impact from the long stretch of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its near-zero percent short-term interest rates and government bond purchases, is clear in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and commodities, but not in consumer price indices.

Once again, events external to the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink of a bailout from the European Union/International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, but a debt crisis in Spain would disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there also is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year. In uncertain times, we expect market volatility to erupt from time to time.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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.

Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with cer- tainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end. Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to dispo- sition of a floating rate loan.

(n)      The Illinois Insurance Department prohibited Lumbermens from making interest payments. This TIERS security is based on interest payments from Lumbermens. This security is no longer accruing interest.

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. Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. 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. 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. 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, 2011, securities valued at $289,103,754 or 12.0% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at mea-

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 28


 

surement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.

2 Transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because fair values were determined using valuation techniques utilizing unobservable inputs due to observable inputs being unavailable.

For the six months ended March 31, 2011, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($5,246,975). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

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.

Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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 23.) 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. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 32


 

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. The Fund’s use of net capital loss carryforwards acquired from Summit Apex Bond Fund may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The Fund intends to elect to defer net capital losses of $92,373,734 incurred from November 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 and treat them as arising in the fiscal period ending September 30, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $ 91,895,367  
Unrealized (depreciation)   (308,928,248 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($ 217,032,881 )
Federal income tax cost of investments $ 2,419,703,260  

 

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, 2011, such purchase and sales transactions were $52,770,000 and $116,647,500, respectively. The realized loss on the sales transactions was $2,053.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 44


 

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

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

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

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

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

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The 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 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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 and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to 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 was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class I, Class R and Class Y shares. Based upon its review, the Board determined 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 fund-by-fund 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, Class R and Class Y 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund was currently realizing economies of scale in its 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 may have 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 possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Fund; (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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will

www.      calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 4

 

remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2011, Calvert Short Duration Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 1.02%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays Capital 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index, returned 0.27% for the period. The Fund’s short relative duration strategy was primarily responsible for the portfolio’s outperformance. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative returns.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period was characterized by four clear phases in interest-rate movements. The first was a steady and strong upward movement in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased from 2.33% in early October to 3.57% by mid-December. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement of new Treasury purchases in November did little to slow the advance as economic data improved. In December, many analysts raised their forecasts for economic growth, and stocks rallied as a larger-than-expected fiscal stimulus package was passed. The second phase featured a fairly quiet trading range. During phase three, from early to mid-February, yields rose as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The

10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.
 
In the final phase, yields began to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility were amplified by the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields recovered some ground. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the middle of the range over the full reporting period.1

During the reporting period, we estimate that the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3%.2 This is very near the 50-year average growth rate, but remains below the rate seen, at a similar point in the business cycle, after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1% during the reporting period,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund benefitted from higher interest rates across the yield curve. The yields on two- and 10-year Treasuries increased by 35 and 91 basis points, respectively, over the six-month reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative performance. At the start of the reporting period, 13.56% of the Fund was allocated to high-yield bonds. Over the reporting period, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 7.23%, while the more broadly based Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returned -0.98%.

The Fund employed a yield-curve-flattening strategy. This had a mixed effect as some portions of the yield curve narrowed while others widened. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the yield differential between the 10- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries, which helped performance, as this section of the yield curve narrowed from 160 basis points to 104 basis points. However, the Fund also was positioned to benefit from narrowing of the yield differential between two- and 10- year Treasuries. This section of the yield curve widened from 209 to 265 basis points during the reporting period, which hurt performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

GROWTH OF $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.14%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

Outlook

The U.S. economy continues to recover from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging in household and financial sectors continues, suggesting moderate, not heated, growth and consumer price inflation. Monetary policy should remain easy in coming quarters as federal, state, and local fiscal stimuli continue to recede or contract. The impact from the long stretch of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its near-zero percent short-term interest rates and government bond purchases, is clear in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and commodities, but not in consumer price indices.

Once again, events external to the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink of a bailout from the European Union/International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal but a debt crisis in Spain would disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that

could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there also is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year. In uncertain times, we expect market volatility to erupt from time to time.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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.

(d)      Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contrac- tual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest rates which are periodically redetermined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end. Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obli- gated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.

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. 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. 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, 2011, securities valued at $87,908,469 or 2.7% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

www. calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

Other financial instruments* ($ 1,089,068 )   -   -   ($ 1,089,068 )

 

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

** Level 3 securities represent 1.2% of net assets.

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.

Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obli-

gations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. 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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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 28.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability 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. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial

statements.

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

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,

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 46


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 48


 

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 and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010, and above the median of its peer group for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010, and outperformed its Lipper index for the three-and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. 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/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A, Class I and Class Y shares. The

Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board also took into account the reduction in one of the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Based upon its review, the Board determined 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 fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for some classes. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A, Class I and Class Y 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund was currently realizing economies of scale in its 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. The Board also took into account the reduction in one of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule.

In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have 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 possesses 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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical

crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

fairly quiet trading range. In the next phase, from early to mid-February, yields rose as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.

In the final phase, yields started to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility jumped after the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields retraced some of the drop with the 10-year yield ending the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the middle of the range over the reporting period.1 During the reporting period, we estimate that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 3.3%,2 very near the 50-year average pace, but below that seen at a similar point in the business cycle after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1%,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund benefitted from higher interest rates across the yield curve. The yields on two- and 10-year Treasuries increased by 35 and 91 basis points, respectively, over the six-month reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative performance. At the start of the reporting period, 14.89% of the Fund was allocated to high-yield bonds. Over the reporting period, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 7.23%, while the more broadly based Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returned -0.98%.

The Fund employed a yield-curve-flattening strategy. This had a mixed effect as some portions of the yield curve narrowed while others widened. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the yield differential between the 10- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries, which helped performance, as this section of the yield curve narrowed from 160 basis points to 104 basis points. However, the Fund also was positioned to benefit from narrowing of the yield differential between two- and 10-year Treasuries. This section of the yield curve widened from 209 to 265 basis points during the reporting period, which hurt performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

Outlook

The U.S. economy continues to recover from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging in household and financial sectors continues, suggesting moderate, not heated, growth and consumer price inflation. Monetary policy should remain easy in coming quarters as federal, state, and local fiscal stimuli continue to recede or contract. The impact from the long stretch of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its near-zero percent short-

GROWTH OF $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75% and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.40%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

term interest rates and government bond purchases, is clear in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and commodities, but not in consumer price indices.

Once again, events external to the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural
disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink of a bailout from the European Union/ International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal but a debt crisis in Spain would disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there also is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year. In uncertain times, we expect market volatility to erupt from time to time.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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.

(b)      This security was valued by the Board of Trustees. See Note A.
(d)      Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contrac- tual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end.
  Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.
(e)      Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
(p)      The State of New York Insurance Department has prohibited Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co. from making interest payments. This security is no longer accruing interest.
(r)      The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate at period end.

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. 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, 2011, securities valued at $6,591,689 or 4.6% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and commercial mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

    VALUATION INPUTS
InvestMents In securItIes   level 1   level 2   level 3   total
Equity securities $ 512,500   - $ 700,000 $ 1,212,500
Asset-backed securities   - $ 1,539,069   -   1,539,069

Corporate debt   -   89,343,988   2,717,703   92,061,691
Municipal obligations   -   5,204,867   -   5,204,867
U.S. government obligations   -   27,368,218   -   27,368,218
Other debt obligations   -   439,653   -   439,653
TOTAL $ 512,500 $ 130,798,440 $ 3,417,703 $ 134,728,643
Other financial instruments* $ 30,517   -   - $ 30,517

 

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on the instrument.

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

    EQUITY   CORPORATE        
    SECURITIES   DEBT     TOTAL  
Balance as of 9/30/10 $ 670,000 $ 2,214,488   $ 2,884,488  
Accrued discounts/premiums   -   13,306     13,306  
Realized gain (loss)   -   2,547     2,547  
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)   30,000   108,332     138,332  
Purchases   -   245,972     245,972  
Sales   -   (19,134 )   (19,134 )
Transfers in and/ or out of Level 31   -   152,1922     152,192  
Balance as of 3/31/11 $ 700,000 $ 2,717,703   $ 3,417,703  

 

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.

2 Transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because fair values were determined using valuation techniques utilizing unobservable inputs due to observable inputs being unavailable.

For the period ended March 31, 2011, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was $38,105. Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

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.

Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. 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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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 19.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26


 

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 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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 32


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 Lipper peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. 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/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A shares. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board also took into account the reduction in the administrative fee. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35


 

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of 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 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. 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. 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. The Board also took into account the reduction in the administrative fee.

In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have 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 possesses 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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge

until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2011, Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 0.97%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays Capital 9-12 Months Short Treasury Index, returned 0.21% for the period. The Fund’s short relative duration strategy was primarily responsible for the portfolio’s outperformance. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative performance.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period was characterized by four clear phases in interest-rate movements. The first was a steady and strong upward movement in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased from 2.33% in early October to 3.57% by mid-December. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement of new Treasury purchases in November did little to slow the advance as

economic data improved. In December, many analysts raised their forecasts for economic growth, and stocks rallied as a larger-than-expected fiscal stimulus package was passed. The second phase featured a fairly quiet trading range. During phase three, from early to mid-February, yields rose as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.

In the final phase, yields began to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility were amplified by the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields recovered some ground. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the middle of the range over the full reporting period.1 During the reporting period, we estimate that the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3%.2 This is very near the 50-year average growth rate, but remains below the rate seen, at a similar point in the business cycle, after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1% during the reporting period,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund benefitted from higher interest rates across the yield curve. The yields on two- and 10-year Treasuries increased by 35 and 91 basis points, respectively, over the six-month reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds also helped relative performance. At the start of the reporting period, 10.13% of the Fund was allocated to high-yield bonds. Over the reporting period, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 7.23%, while the more broadly-based Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returned -0.98%.

The Fund employed a yield-curve-flattening strategy. This had a mixed effect as some portions of the yield curve narrowed while others widened. For example, the Fund was positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the yield differential between two- and 10-year Treasuries. This section of the yield curve instead widened from 209 to 265 basis points during the reporting period, which hurt performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

Outlook

The U.S. economy continues to recover from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging in household and financial sectors continues, suggesting moderate, not heated, growth and

Growth of $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.08%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

consumer price inflation. Monetary policy should remain easy in coming quarters as federal, state, and local fiscal stimuli continue to recede or contract. The impact from the long stretch of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its near-zero percent short-term interest rates and government bond purchases, is clear in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and commodities, but not in consumer price indices.

Once again, events external to the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink

of a bailout from the European Union/International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal but a debt crisis in Spain would disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there also is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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.

(b)      This security was valued by the Board of Trustees. See Note A.
(d)      Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contrac- tual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end.
  Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.
(e)      Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
(r)      The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate at period end.
(y)      The government of Iceland took control of Glitnir Banki HF (the “Bank”) on October 8, 2008. The government has prohibited the Bank from paying any claims owed to foreign entities. These securities are no longer accruing interest.
(ii)      General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 1, 2009. This security is no longer accruing interest. Subsequent to period end, the Fund received a distribution of new GM stock and new GM war- rants in exchange for the Motors Liquidation Co. Notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert Ultra-Short 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 and Class Y shares of beneficial interest. Class Y shares commenced operations on May 28, 2010. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%. 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. 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, 2011, securities valued at $4,616,864 or 1.1% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and commercial mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26


 

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

**Level 3 securities represent 1.1% of net assets.

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.

Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. 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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 27


 

are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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 20.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 28


 

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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;

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 36


 

comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed at the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010, and above the median of its peer universe for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the same one- and three-year periods. 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/or reimbursements) and total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class Y shares. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 37


 

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for some classes. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class Y shares. 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund had not yet reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its advisory fee would be triggered. 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 may have 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 possesses 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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unem-

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 4


 

ployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period was characterized by four clear phases in interest-rate movements. The first was a steady and strong upward movement in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased from 2.33% in early October to 3.57% by mid-Decem-ber. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement of new Treasury purchases in November did little to slow the advance as economic data improved. In December, many analysts raised their forecasts for economic growth, and stocks rallied as a larger-than-expected fiscal stimulus package was passed. The second phase featured a fairly quiet trading range. During phase three, from early to mid-February of 2011, yields rose as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.

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

Total 100 %

 

In the final phase, yields began to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility were amplified by the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields recovered some ground. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the mid-
dle of the range over the full reporting period.1

During the reporting period, we estimate that Utilities 2.1% the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3%.2 This is very near the 50-year average growth rate, but remains below the rate seen, at a similar point in the business cycle, after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1% during the reporting period,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The Fund benefitted from higher interest rates across the yield curve. The yields on two- and 10-year Treasuries increased by 35 and 91 basis points, respectively, over the six-month reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to non-government sectors, including asset-backed securities and corporate bonds, which comprised 17.91% of the Fund at the start of the reporting period, helped boost relative returns.

The Fund employed a yield-curve-flattening strategy. This had a mixed effect as some portions of the yield curve narrowed while others widened. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the yield differential between the 10- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries, which helped performance, as this section of the yield curve narrowed from 160 basis points to 104 basis points. However, the Fund also was positioned to benefit from narrowing of the yield differential between two- and 10-year Treasuries. This section of the yield curve widened from 209 to 265 basis points during the reporting period, which hurt performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

Growth of $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Classes A and C shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A sales charge of 3.75%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 3.81%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

Outlook
The U.S. economy continues to recover
from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging
in household and financial sectors contin-
ues, suggesting that both growth and price
inflation are moderate and not heated.
Monetary policy should remain easy in
coming quarters as federal, state, and local
fiscal stimuli continue to recede and con-
tract. The impact from the long stretch
of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its
near-zero percent short-term interest rates
and government bond purchases, is clear
in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and
commodities, but not in consumer price
indices.

Once again, events outside the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink of a bailout from the European Union/International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal but a debt crisis in Spain would cause a great stress on the facility and could disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year. In uncertain times, we expect market volatility to erupt periodically.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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 Government Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2008 and offers two classes of shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. 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 C shares have higher 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. 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, 2011, securities valued at $271,773 or 4.2% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

securities. For corporate bonds and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

    VALUATION INPUTS
InvestMents In securItIes   level 1   level 2   level 3   total
Corporate debt   - $ 1,882,286 $ 53,308 $ 1,935,594
Collateralized mortgage-backed                
obligations   -   24,149   -   24,149
Commercial mortgage-backed                
securities   -   182,452   -   182,452
U.S. government obligations   -   3,668,088   200,000   3,868,088
TOTAL   - $ 5,756,975 $ 253,308 $ 6,010,283
Other financial instruments* $ 3,539   -   - $ 3,539

 

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

        U.S.    
    CORPORATE   GOVERNMENT    
    DEBT   OBLIGATIONS   TOTAL
Balance as of 9/30/10 $ 20,000 $ 200,000 $ 220,000
Accrued discounts/premiums   105    
Realized gain (loss)      
Change in unrealized appreciation            
    (depreciation)   2,359     2,359
Purchases      
Sales      
Transfers in and/or out of Level 31   30,8442     30,844
Balance as of 3/31/11 $ 53,308 $ 200,000 $ 253,308

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.

2 Transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because fair values were determined using valuation techniques utilizing unobservable inputs due to observable inputs being unavailable.

For the period ended March 31, 2011, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($377). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

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 purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. 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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

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.

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

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 .40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2012. The contractual expense cap is 1.04% for Class A and 2.04% for Class C. 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 .15% for Class A and Class C based on their 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 and C 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% 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.

The Distributor received $3,014 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 27


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 29


 

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 and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 comparable mutual funds. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010. 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/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 30


 

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class C 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. 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. 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 may have 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 possesses 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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 4


 

facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemployment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

Investment Climate

The six-month reporting period was characterized by four clear phases in interest-rate movements. The first was a steady and strong upward movement in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield increased from 2.33% in early October to 3.57% by mid-Decem-ber. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement of new Treasury purchases in November did little to slow the advance as economic data improved. In December, many analysts raised their forecasts for economic growth, and stocks rallied as a larger-than-expected fiscal stimulus package was passed. The second phase featured a fairly quiet trading range. During phase three, from early to mid-February, yields rose as the unemployment rate fell sharply, boosting confidence in the economy and triggering a rally in stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 3.74%.

In the final phase, yields began to fall as turmoil in the Middle East pushed up the price of oil and raised doubts about the strength of the young economic expansion. Volatility increased in global financial markets. Doubt, uncertainty, and volatility were amplified by the terrible March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Treasury yields continued to fall, with the 10-year yield bottoming at 3.14% a few days after the disaster. After

the shock wore off, stocks regained their footing and Treasury yields recovered some ground. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the reporting period near 3.5%, which was close to the middle of the range over the full reporting period.1

During the reporting period, we estimate that the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3%.2 This is very near the 50-year average growth rate, but remains below the rate seen, at a similar point in the
business cycle, after prior deep recessions in the post-WWII era. The core consumer price inflation (CPI) rate increased from 0.6% to 1.1% during the reporting period,3 so the Fed’s concern about unwanted disinflation abated. While the inflation rate was trending up, the level of both core and headline inflation rates remained below long-run averages. Market expectations for inflation in coming years increased to a level more in line with long-term averages.

Portfolio Strategy

The high yield bond market has performed well since March 2009. Record new bond issuance has been supported by robust cash flows. Investors have flocked to the sector, attracted by low default rates and appealing yields. Our strong performance during the reporting period was the result of better bond selection and increasing exposure to bonds in more cyclical parts of the market, including the industrial, consumer, and financial sectors. We avoided credits with European and Japan exposure, while seeking bonds with higher yields than the index yield, which was approximately 7.5% during the reporting period. The portfolio is underweight BB rated bonds which, in our opinion, offer poor relative value as they yield less than six percent on average. Twenty-five percent of the portfolio was invested in BB rated issues while 38% of the index was invested there. Notably, the Fund has a significant out-of-index play with 4.5% allocated to investment-grade bonds, which we believe have strong total return potential.

Outlook

The U.S. economy continues to recover from severe financial crisis. Deleveraging in household and financial sectors continues, suggesting moderate, not heated, growth and consumer price inflation. Monetary policy should remain easy in coming quarters as federal, state, and local fiscal stimuli continue to recede or contract. The impact from the long stretch of extraordinarily easy Fed policy, with its near-zero percent short-term interest rates and government bond purchases, is clear in the higher prices of stocks, bonds, and commodities, but not in consumer price indices.

Growth of $10,000

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Classes A and I shares and reflect the deduction of Class A’s maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s/Portfolio’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund/Portfolio shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.91%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s/Portfolio’s operating expenses.

Once again, events external to the United States created more uncertainty about the outlook for U.S. growth, inflation, and monetary policy. In addition to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and natural disaster in Japan, deepening eurozone debt troubles have put Portugal on the brink of a bailout from the European Union/International Monetary Fund rescue facility. If the country does require a financial rescue package, Portugal would become the third eurozone member to receive a bailout. The rescue facility can accommodate Greece, Ireland, and Portugal but a debt crisis in Spain would disrupt financial markets worldwide. The Spanish government’s interest rates, while elevated, are not near crisis levels. Spain will remain under pressure, however, and has the potential to unnerve investors from time to time.

Despite increased uncertainty in recent months, we expect the Fed to conclude its Treasury purchases by the end of June. This would complete the easing cycle and, apart from some minor operations, move the Fed to the sidelines for the remainder of the year. There are monetary policy scenarios that could move bond yields quite sharply, including the small chance that the Fed will tighten faster than expected if core inflation increases rapidly. In addition, in light of the recent international turmoil, there also is a chance—perhaps small—that the Fed will ease yet again if the economy weakens later this year. In uncertain times, we expect market volatility to erupt from time to time.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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.

(b)      This security was valued by the Board of Trustees. See Note A.
(d)      Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contrac- tual or optional prepayments by the borrower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert High Yield Bond 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. Prior to September 18, 2009, the Fund was a series of Summit Mutual Funds, Inc. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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, 2011, securities valued at $904,664 or 1.6% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principle market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principle market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES level 1   level 2   level 3     total
Equity securities -   - $ 158   $ 158
Corporate debt - $ 54,092,260   449,881     54,542,141
Other debt obligations -   471,389   -     471,389
U.S. government obligations -   400,000   -     400,000
TOTAL - $ 54,963,649 $ 450,039 * $ 55,413,688

 

*Level 3 securities represent 0.8% of net assets.

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

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.

Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

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 17.) 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. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements.

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The Fund intends to elect to defer net capital losses of $816,267 incurred from November 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $ 3,660,814  
Unrealized (depreciation)   (641,397 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $ 3,019,417  
Federal income tax cost of investments $ 52,394,271  

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

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,

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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;

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33


 

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 and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010, and at the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and outperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. 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/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s shares. The Board

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

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.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for some classes. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s shares. 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and expenses. 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. 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 may have 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 possesses 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 financial markets ended the six-month period on a high note. The Federal Reserve’s announcement in the fall of 2010 of a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension in December of the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels helped buoy the markets and pushed Treasury yields higher. The resulting increase in U.S. consumer spending and confidence helped drive a year-end rally.

This calm lasted until new storms arrived in the beginning of 2011. Civil and political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa sent the price of crude soaring and heightened energy security concerns in many countries around the world. In March, the tragic earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Our sympathies go out to the people of Japan who lost loved ones in this disaster. The earthquake—and its impact on the country’s nuclear reactors—roiled global financial markets. The cumulative effect of these events sparked a brief sell-off in corporate bonds as investors moved into the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.

Fixed-Income Markets Continue to be Volatile

Investment-grade corporate bonds edged down slightly for the reporting period, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returning -0.98%, while high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 7.09%. Money-market returns remained flat, reflecting the Fed’s efforts to keep its target interest rate very low.

Corporate bonds continued to benefit from generally strong corporate earnings and lower default expectations during the fourth quarter of 2010. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011 as investors became more comfortable moving into riskier asset classes to chase yield. However, most fixed-income sectors experienced significant volatility as investors reacted to the turmoil in the Middle East and the ensuing climb in oil prices as well as the disaster in Japan—which prompted some investors to move back into the relative safety of Treasuries as noted above.

Municipal bond returns suffered greatly in the final months of 2010 due to heavy municipal debt issuance, record municipal bond fund redemptions by retail investors, and fear of massive municipal debt defaults, which appears to be unfounded. Fortunately, prices steadied after the turn of the year due to slowing investor outflows and minimal new debt issuance.

Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

Overall, we are optimistic and expect a slow, gradual economic recovery to continue, which we believe should help sustain a corporate bond rally through the remainder of 2011. A low core inflation rate (which excludes food and energy prices) will likely facilitate economic growth, while continued debt reduction, lingering high unemploy-

ment, and a struggling housing market will limit gains. Energy prices will remain a challenge until we see more resolution of the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, more geopolitical crises, rising commodity prices, and inflation spikes could certainly dampen the markets.

In short, we believe the markets, the global economy, and your Calvert funds can successfully navigate through any temporary setbacks.

Discuss Your Portfolio Allocations with Your Advisor

Given the market shifts we have experienced, your overall portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy may no longer match your needs. Therefore, we recommend reviewing these with your financial advisor to ensure that your target mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash is well-diversified and appropriate given your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

We encourage you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information and updates as well as market and economic commentary from Calvert professionals.

As noted elsewhere in this report, the Calvert operating companies that provide services to the funds will change their names effective April 30, 2011. As part of the changes, Calvert Group, Ltd. will be known as Calvert Investments, Inc., and the funds’ advisor, Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., will be known as Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

As always, we appreciate your investing with Calvert.

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, 2010 to March 31, 2011).

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-Term Government 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 operations of each series are accounted for separately. Prior to September 18, 2009, the Fund was a series of Summit Mutual Funds, Inc. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares of capital stock. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. 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, 2011, securities valued at $500,000 or 1.9% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15


 

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2011:

    VALUATION INPUTS
InvesTmenTs In securITIes   level 1   level 2   level 3     ToTal
Corporate debt   - $ 9,534,201   -   $ 9,534,201
U.S. government obligations   -   13,847,022 $ 500,000     14,347,022
TOTAL   - $ 23,381,223 $ 500,000 ** $ 23,881,223
 
Other financial instruments* $ 497   -   -   $ 497

 

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

** Level 3 securities represent 1.9% of net assets.

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 purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 16


 

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. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.

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.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 17


 

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

To the extent that any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly. Class A and Class I shares pay an annual rate of .10%.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. A 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 .25% 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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

The Distributor received $1,164 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26


 

fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their 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. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. 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 the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and three- year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and its plans with respect to the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to 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/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s shares. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 27


 

fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund 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 that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s shares. 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 and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and expenses. 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. 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 may have 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 possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Fund; (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.
