Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Women’s Principles® (CWP)

December 20, 2014, officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the Calvert Women’s Principles®, an important milestone in Calvert’s leadership in the women and investing space. In November, we will release our findings in the Women Investors Survey, the release of the latest Diversity Report, and a new article for CWP’s anniversary including a history, a look back at its implementation through Women’s Empowerment Principles (United Nations) and Gender Equality Principles (City of San Francisco), and the future of the program. Information about all our CWP events are available on Calvert’s website.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Stay Informed in the Months Ahead

Maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash—appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance—is one of the best ways to mitigate the effects of an uneven recovery in the economy and markets. Of course, we recommend consulting your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns about your investments. We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals.

As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, Calvert High Yield Bond Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 4.80%. Its benchmark index, the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 7.23% for the same period. The Fund’s underper-formance was largely the result of a shorter-than-benchmark duration1 and security selection.

Change in Investment Strategy Effective January 31, 2015

The Fund currently invests primarily in intermediate maturity bonds. Effective January 31, 2015, the intermediate maturity limitation will be removed, and the Fund’s duration and maturity will be managed tactically based on the Advisor’s outlook for the fixed-income markets. See the prospectus supplement at the end of this report.

Market Review

During the 12 month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies. U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target

rate.2 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably3 grew in the neighborhood of 2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.4 Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securities. The Barclays Long Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.5 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the eurozone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency proved strong relative to those of Japan, China, and Europe, where growth was disappointing.

Fund Strategy

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund navigated a challenging fixed-income climate. The Fund’s relatively short duration, compared to the Index, and positions in several underperforming securities, were the main detractors from performance. Broadly speaking, high-yield bonds under-performed investment-grade bonds during the reporting period.

The Fund has adopted a strategy of seeking to reduce interest-rate exposure through duration and yield-curve positioning, while relying on fundamental credit analysis to deliver quality returns over time. This strategy lends itself to being underweight in issues rated BB, with greater exposure to securities rated B- and lower. While this can approach can lead to underper-formance in a flight-to-safety environment and/or interest-rate rally, we believe it is well-suited to the current market. In the present low interest rate, low credit-default environment, we believe the best risk-adjusted returns will come from stringent fundamental analysis and opportunistic trading, strategies in which we specialize. Another strategy involves special credit situations, where a security’s performance is contingent upon asset sales or restructuring. In these situations, returns can be uneven, yet rewarding for patient investors. While we limit our investment in special credit situations, we will invest opportunistically and stay the course where we believe the potential returns merit the risk.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration shorter than that of the Index, a positioning we have maintained as a measure of risk protection against rising interest rates. The yield curve flattened throughout the majority of the year, with short-term interest rates rising and intermediate- and long-term rates falling. The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is

* Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Class A and Class I shares of Calvert High Yield Bond Fund, a series of Summit Mutual Funds, Inc. (“SMF High Yield”), were reorganized into the Class A and Class I shares, respectively, of an identical and newly created series of The Calvert Fund, Calvert High Yield Bond Fund, which commenced operations on September 18, 2009. The performance results prior to September 18, 2009, reflect the performance of SMF High Yield. In addition, performance results for Class A shares prior to February 1, 2007, the inception date for Class A shares of SMF High Yield, reflect the performance of Class I shares of SMF High Yield, adjusted for the 12b-1 distribution fees applicable to Class A. Performance results for Class Y shares prior to July 29, 2011 (the Class Y shares’ inception date) reflect the performance of Class A shares at net asset value. Actual Class Y share performance would have been higher than Class A share performance because Class Y, unlike Class A, has no Rule 12b-1 fees.

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 Classes A and I shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A 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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 1.43%. 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 operating expenses.

used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, detracted from performance.

We help diversify the portfolio with positions in bank loans, opportunistic collateral mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and municipal securities; however, corporate bonds remain the Fund’s core investment.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015.

In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

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: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. 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 is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other 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, foundations, and endowments 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-today responsibility for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a dis-

24      www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

closure 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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers 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 municipal securities, 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For collateralized mortgage-backed obligations and commercial mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, securities valued at $109, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

    Valuation Inputs

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,

26      www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the 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 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 counter-party 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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes.

During the year, the Fund invested in 5 year U.S. Treasury Notes futures. The activity was limited to a five day period during the year ended September 30, 2014.

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. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 27


 

the Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 19.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when 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. 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 specific 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 (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and 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.

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 Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas 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 .65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2015. The contractual expense caps are 1.07%, 2.07%, .74%, and .82%

28      www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

for Class A, C, I, and Y, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% for Classes A, C, I, and Y based on their average daily net assets.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .25% and 1.00% annually of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly, of .25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

CID received $42,753 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $16,963 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $45,000 plus up to $2,000 for each regular Board and Committee meeting attended. The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities and U.S. Government securities, were $308,691,625 and $272,323,631, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $930,027 and $929,775 respectively.

The Fund may purchase securities, typically short-term variable rate demand notes, from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2014, there were no such transactions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $7,885,037 $4,812,796
Long-term capital gain 214,609
Total $8,099,646 $4,812,796

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 29


 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $1,578,376
Unrealized (depreciation) (4,445,160)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($2,866,784)
Undistributed ordinary income $2,046,630
Undistributed long-term capital gain $1,279,751
Federal income tax cost of investments $133,486,957

 

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

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

  Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month of Maximum
Average Daily Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$8,818 1.35% $1,208,486 August 2014

 

Note E — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also

36      www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)

 

be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be 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.

Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Women’s Principles® (CWP)

December 20, 2014, officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the Calvert Women’s Principles®, an important milestone in Calvert’s leadership in the women and investing space. In November, we will release our findings in the Women Investors Survey, the release of the latest Diversity Report, and a new article for CWP’s anniversary including a history, a look back at its implementation through Women’s Empowerment Principles (United Nations) and Gender Equality Principles (City of San Francisco), and the future of the program. Information about all our CWP events are available on Calvert’s website.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Stay Informed in the Months Ahead

Maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash—appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance—is one of the best ways to mitigate the effects of an uneven recovery in the economy and markets. Of course, we recommend consulting your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns about your investments. We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals.

As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, Calvert Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 4.98%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, returned 6.64% for the period. The Fund’s relative underperformance stemmed primarily from its allocation to high-yield securities, which are not held in the Index, and its overall yield-curve positioning. A position in the out-of-benchmark securitized (also called asset-backed) sector contributed positively to Fund performance.

Market Review

During the 12 month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies. U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target rate.1 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably2 grew in the neighborhood of

2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.3 Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securities. The Barclays Long Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.4 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes

rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the eurozone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency proved strong relative to those of Japan, China, and Europe, where growth was disappointing.

Fund Strategy

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund navigated a challenging fixed-income climate. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, by 166 basis points.5 The Fund’s shorter-than-benchmark duration,6 and allocation to high-yield (non-investment- grade) corporate bonds, which are not held in the Index, were the main detractors from performance. Broadly speaking, high-yield bonds underperformed the investment-grade bonds represented in the Index.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration was 6.3 years versus 6.8 years for the Index, a positioning the Fund has maintained as a measure of risk protection against rising interest rates. The yield curve flattened throughout the majority of the year, with short-term interest rates rising and intermediate- and long-term rates falling. The Fund’s overall underweight to the long end of the yield curve ultimately detracted from performance. The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, did not materially impact performance.

Our asset-allocation strategies overall made a positive contribution to Fund performance. We were underweight in government-related sectors relative to the Index, overweight in corporate bonds, 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. The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A 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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 operating expenses.

held out-of-benchmark issues in the securitized sector, including mortgage-backed securities. However, lackluster security selection, primarily in the Energy and Communications sectors, detracted from performance.

The Fund outperformed the Index in the Banking, Consumer Cyclical, and Consumer Non-Cyclical sectors. The Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to securitized assets, particularly non-agency RMBS (residential mortgage-backed securities) and single-borrower/ single asset CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities) deals, also made positive performance contributions.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015.

In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Trustees of The Calvert Fund and Shareholders of Calvert Income Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Income Fund as of September 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A –– Significant Accounting Policies

General: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers six classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, B, C, I, R, and Y. 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 and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. 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 and, with certain exceptions, will be charged 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 is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other 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, foundations, and endowments 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

28      www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s 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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers 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, 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 29


 

are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, securities valued at $109, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

** Level 3 Securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

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

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31


 

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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Notes futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

During the year, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, 30 year and Ultra U.S. Treasury Notes futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 146 contracts and $3,933,533 weighted average notional value.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purpose 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 the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 24.) 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. 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 specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

32      www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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 (within seven days for Class I and Class R shares). 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.

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.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $122,806 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the agreement, $11,624 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $45,000 plus up to $2,000 for each regular Board and Committee meeting attended. The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $929,722,319 and $1,103,046,819, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $1,110,078,685 and $1,113,414,776, respectively.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The Fund’s use of net capital losses acquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $27,589,548 $34,965,473
Total $27,589,548 $34,965,473

 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $26,851,415
Unrealized (depreciation) (16,171,119)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $10,680,296
Undistributed ordinary income $205,258
Capital loss carryforward ($575,060,339)
Federal income tax cost of investments $881,095,415

 

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

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassification for the Fund are due to asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income ($8,367)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 8,367

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

Average Daily Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month of Maximum
Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$202,523 1.34% $13,435,639 March 2014

 

Note E — Regulatory Matters

In October 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio securities was then being fair valued. The Advisor and the Board of Trustees subsequently determined it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that security and certain related securities had been carried from March 2008 through September 30, 2011. These fair value revisions had the effect of changing the net asset value per share at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the affected period. Accordingly, in December 2011, pursuant to an agreement (“the Agreement”) with the Board of Trustees, the Advisor contributed $12,614,421 to the Fund to adjust shareholder trades occurring during the respective period for the benefit of affected shareholders.

Subsequent to the Agreement, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) conducted a compliance examination of the Advisor and the Calvert Funds (“the Funds”). In a letter dated November 1, 2013, the SEC communicated their examination findings that included various deficiencies and weaknesses and concerns regarding whether the contribution and shareholder disbursement, discussed above, was properly calculated and distributed to certain shareholders.

Management of the Advisor and the Funds responded to the SEC examination and believe a number of corrective actions have been taken since October 2011 to address the matters raised in the examination. Also, in management’s opinion, the contribution noted above was properly calculated and distributed by the Fund to benefit the affected shareholders and was in accordance with the Agreement. It is also management’s opinion that the resolution of the examination matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Fund.

Note F — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be 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.

Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Women’s Principles® (CWP)

December 20, 2014, officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the Calvert Women’s Principles®, an important milestone in Calvert’s leadership in the women and investing space. In November, we will release our findings in the Women Investors Survey, the release of the latest Diversity Report, and a new article for CWP’s anniversary including a history, a look back at its implementation through Women’s Empowerment Principles (United Nations) and Gender Equality Principles (City of San Francisco), and the future of the program. Information about all our CWP events are available on Calvert’s website.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Stay Informed in the Months Ahead

Maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash—appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance—is one of the best ways to mitigate the effects of an uneven recovery in the economy and markets. Of course, we recommend consulting your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns about your investments. We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals.

As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

1. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds’ historical risk-adjusted returns, relative to peers. Scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with ten or more distinct portfolios. The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated over 36, 60, and 120 month periods. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or ten years.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, Calvert Short Duration Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 1.34%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index, returned 2.23% for the same period. The Fund’s underperfor-mance resulted mainly from its allocation to short-maturity, high-yield securities not included in the Index. Positive contributors to returns were the Fund’s underweight to government-related sectors and an overweight to the securitized (also called asset-backed) sector.

Market Review

During the 12-month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies.

U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target rate.1 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably2 grew in the neighborhood of 2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.3 Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securi-

ties. The Barclays Long Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.4 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the eurozone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency proved strong relative to those of Japan, China, and Europe, where growth was disappointing.

Fund Strategy

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund navigated a challenging fixed-income climate. For the one-year reporting period, the Fund underperformed its passive benchmark, the Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Credit Index, by 89 basis points.5 Underperformance was driven by the Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to high-yield securities, which broadly under-performed investment-grade corporate bonds. Its shorter-than-benchmark duration and underweight to the front-end of the yield curve (i.e., short-term securities) contributed positively to performance.

As of September 30, 2014, the Fund’s 2.1 year duration6 remained well below the 2.7 year duration of the Index, a position the Fund has maintained as a measure of risk protection against rising interest rates.

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 Class A 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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 1.12%. 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 operating expenses.

The Fund achieved its duration position by maintaining a “barbell” approach: combining higher-yielding, relatively long-term bonds with floating-rate notes, which essentially have a zero-interest-rate duration. With interest rates rising for short-term bonds and falling for longer-dated bonds, the Fund benefitted from this strategy.

Additionally, our strategy of limiting exposure to government-related sectors aided Fund performance. Throughout the reporting period, broad participation in the out-of-benchmark securitized sector, which includes mortgage-backed bonds, was beneficial. The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, did not materially impact performance.

Broadly speaking, the Fund overall was successfully positioned throughout the reporting period, but ultimately underperformed as a result of holding specific high-yield securities.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015. In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

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.

off.

longer accruing interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A — Significant Accounting Policies

General: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund currently offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, I, and Y. 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 charge 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 is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other 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, foundations, and endowments 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a dis-

30      www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

closure 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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ 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, sovereign government 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed obligations and commercial mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31


 

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, securities valued at $0, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

    Valuation Inputs

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 and 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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Notes futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year and 10 year U.S. Treasury Notes futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 137 contracts and $4,652,678 weighted average notional value.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purpose of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are “covered” with an equivalent amount of high quality, liquid securities.

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33


 

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 gains 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 the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 26.) 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. 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 specific 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 for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and 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.

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.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% and 1.00% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and 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 C, respectively. Class I and Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $358,045 was payable at year end.

CID received $67,149 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Note C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $1,391,266,377 and $1,461,861,288, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $1,576,991,875 and $1,550,658,896, respectively.

The Fund may purchase securities, typically short-term variable rate demand notes, from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2014, such purchase and sales transactions were $107,749,654 and $132,045,000, respectively. There were no gains or losses on these sale transactions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $34,766,576 $36,992,461
Long-term capital gain 1,468,022
Total $34,766,576 $38,460,483

 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $25,779,864
Unrealized (depreciation) (15,626,138)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $10,153,726
Undistributed ordinary income $82,065
Undistributed long-term capital gain $446,887
Federal income tax cost of investments $1,745,701,606

 

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

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income $181,021
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (181,021)

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014 borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

  Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month of Maximum
Average Daily Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$38,399 1.34% $10,434,846 March 2014

 

Note E — Regulatory Matters

In October 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio securities was then being fair valued. The Advisor and the Board of Trustees subsequently determined it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that security and certain related securities had been carried from March 2008 through September 30, 2011. These fair value revisions had the effect of changing the net asset value per share at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the affected period. Accordingly, in December 2011, pursuant to an agreement (“the Agreement”) with the Board of Trustees, the Advisor contributed $10,161,859 to the Fund to adjust shareholder trades occurring during the respective period for the benefit of affected shareholders.

Subsequent to the Agreement, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) conducted a compliance examination of the Advisor and the Calvert Funds (“the Funds”). In a letter dated November 1, 2013, the SEC communicated their examination findings that included various deficiencies and weaknesses and concerns regarding whether the contribution and shareholder disbursement, discussed above, was properly calculated and distributed to certain shareholders.

Management of the Advisor and the Funds responded to the SEC examination and believe a number of corrective actions have been taken since October 2011 to address the matters raised in the examination. Also, in management’s opinion, the contribution noted above was properly calculated and distributed by the Fund to benefit the affected shareholders and was in accordance with the Agreement. It is also management’s opinion that the resolution of the examination matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Fund.

Note F — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments

www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 43


 

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.

Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Women’s Principles® (CWP)

December 20, 2014, officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the Calvert Women’s Principles®, an important milestone in Calvert’s leadership in the women and investing space. In November, we will release our findings in the Women Investors Survey, the release of the latest Diversity Report, and a new article for CWP’s anniversary including a history, a look back at its implementation through Women’s Empowerment Principles (United Nations) and Gender Equality Principles (City of San Francisco), and the future of the program. Information about all our CWP events are available on Calvert’s website.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Stay Informed in the Months Ahead

Maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash—appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance—is one of the best ways to mitigate the effects of an uneven recovery in the economy and markets. Of course, we recommend consulting your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns about your investments. We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals.

As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 11.36%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays Long U.S. Credit Index, returned 13.58% for the same period. The Fund’s relative underper-formance stemmed primarily from its allocation to out-of-benchmark, high-yield securities. Positive contributors included exposure to the out-of-benchmark securitized (also called asset-backed) sector.

Market Review

During the 12-month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies. U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced


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

 

January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target rate.1 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably2 grew in the neighborhood of 2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.3 Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securities. The Barclays Long U.S. Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.4 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the eurozone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency

Fund Strategy

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund navigated a challenging fixed-income climate. The Fund underperformed its passive benchmark, the Barclays Long U.S. Credit Index, by 222 basis points.5 The Fund’s opportunistic allocation to high-yield securities, which are not held in the Index, was the main detractor from performance. Non-investment-grade (high yield) bonds broadly underperformed investment-grade benchmark sectors. Our relative under-allocation to government-related sectors relative to the Index also detracted.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration6 was 12.68 years versus 13.33 years for the Index, a positioning the Fund has maintained as a measure of risk protection against rising interest rates. The yield curve flattened throughout the majority of the reporting period, with short-term interest rates rising and intermediate- and long-term rates falling. The Fund’s overall overweight to the long end of the yield curve contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, added to performance.

Our security selections in the Banking, Consumer Cyclical, and Consumer Non-Cyclical sectors contributed positively to Fund returns and outperformed the Index. However, our selections in the Energy and Communications sectors were a main detractor from performance.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields

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 Class A 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.


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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 1.28%. 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 operating expenses.

overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015.

In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Trustees of The Calvert Fund and Shareholders of Calvert Long-Term Income Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Long-Term Income Fund as of September 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five- year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A — Significant Accounting Policies

General: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s 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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers during

20      www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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, 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ sig-

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 21


 

nificantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, securities valued at $0, or 0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

    Valuation Inputs  
Investments in Securities* Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Asset-backed securities $1,031,803 $1,031,803
Commercial mortgage-backed 566,224 566,224

Corporate debt 64,838,303 ** 64,838,303
Municipal obligations 1,198,702 1,198,702
U.S. government obligations 9,868,687 9,868,687
Other debt obligations 4,621,555 4,621,555
TOTAL $82,125,274 ** $82,125,274
Other financial instruments*** ($5,547) ($5,547)

 

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets. ** Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

*** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Total Investments in the Statement of Net Assets, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

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. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the 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

22      www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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 and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Bond and Notes futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, 30 year, and Ultra U.S. Treasury Bond and Notes futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 67 contracts and $2,186,707 weighted average notional value.

Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purpose 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. 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 Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 17.) 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.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 23


 

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 and 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.

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 Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas 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. At year end, $135,381 was payable.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2015. The contractual expense cap is 1.25%.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly,

24      www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

of .25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A. Under the terms of the agreement, $17,355 was payable at year end.

CID received $7,129 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $3,356 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the agreement, $941 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $45,000 plus up to $2,000 for each regular Board and Committee meeting attended. The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

NOTE C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $87,975,626 and $121,039,641, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $151,552,212 and $149,762,682, respectively.

The Fund may purchase securities, typically short-term variable rate demand notes, from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2014, such sales transactions were $1,105,855. The realized gain on the sales transactions was $105,675.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $2,817,761 $14,667,202
Long-term capital gain 1,845,766 3,363,610
Total $4,663,527 $18,030,812

 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $1,973,187
Unrealized (depreciation) (1,525,751)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $447,436
Undistributed ordinary income $360,165
Undistributed long-term capital gain $1,339,581
Federal income tax cost of investments $81,677,838

 

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

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

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income $2,034
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (2,034)

 

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

  Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month of Maximum
Average Daily Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$46,235 1.35% $1,958,968 November 2013

 

Note E — Regulatory Matters

In October 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio securities was then being fair valued. The Advisor and the Board of Trustees subsequently determined it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that security and certain related securities had been carried from March 2008 through September 30, 2011. These fair value revisions had the effect of changing the net asset value per share at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the affected period. Accordingly, in December 2011, pursuant to an agreement (“the Agreement”) with the Board of Trustees, the Advisor contributed $381,095 to the Fund to adjust shareholder trades occurring during the respective period for the benefit of affected shareholders.

Subsequent to the Agreement, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) conducted a compliance examination of the Advisor and the Calvert Funds (“the Funds”). In a letter dated November 1, 2013, the SEC communicated their examination findings that included various deficiencies and weaknesses and concerns regarding whether the contribution and shareholder disbursement, discussed above, was properly calculated and distributed to certain shareholders.

26 www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT


 

Management of the Advisor and the Funds responded to the SEC examination and believe a number of corrective actions have been taken since October 2011 to address the matters raised in the examination. Also, in management’s opinion, the contribution noted above was properly calculated and distributed by the Fund to benefit the affected shareholders and was in accordance with the Agreement. It is also management’s opinion that the resolution of the examination matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Fund.

Note F — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be 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.

Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Women’s Principles® (CWP)

December 20, 2014, officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the Calvert Women’s Principles®, an important milestone in Calvert’s leadership in the women and investing space. In November, we will release our findings in the Women Investors Survey, the release of the latest Diversity Report, and a new article for CWP’s anniversary including a history, a look back at its implementation through Women’s Empowerment Principles (United Nations) and Gender Equality Principles (City of San Francisco), and the future of the program. Information about all our CWP events are available on Calvert’s website.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Stay Informed in the Months Ahead

Maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash—appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance—is one of the best ways to mitigate the effects of an uneven recovery in the economy and markets. Of course, we recommend consulting your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns about your investments. We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals.

As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 0.92%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays 9–12 Months Short Treasury Index, returned 0.23% for the same period. The Fund’s outperformance was the result primarily of its allocation to corporate and securitized (also called asset-backed) bonds, which are not held in the Index.

Market Review

During the 12-month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies. U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target

rate.1 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably2 grew in the neighborhood of 2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.3 Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securities. The Barclays Long Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.4 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the euro zone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency proved strong relative to those of Japan, China, and Europe, where growth was disappointing

Fund Strategy

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund maintained a significant allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds, securi-tized assets, and a percentage of short-term, non-investment grade (high yield) bonds. The Index, in comparison, includes only short-term Treasury securities. The Fund also maintained a significant allocation to floating-rate securities, which typically are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. Strong results in these areas relative to Treasuries accounted for the Fund’s outperformance during the period.

Specifically, the Fund’s corporate holdings benefitted from spread compression during the latter half of the reporting period. A spread is the difference in yield between bonds that have the same maturity but different credit quality (e.g., a two-year Treasury and a two-year AA-rated corporate bond). Spread compression occurs when the yield of a previously higher-yield ing bond falls. Holdings in the Banking and Consumer asset-backed (ABS) sectors were the strongest performers and contributed the most to the Fund’s total return.

In terms of positive performance factors, the Fund’s relatively short duration,5 compared with the Index, helped mitigate the negative price effects of interest-rate increases over the 12-month reporting period. As of September 30, 2014, the Fund had an effective duration of 0.12 years, versus 0.8 years for the Index. The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, did not materially impact performance.

The Fund’s significant allocation to floating-rate notes, which have essentially zero interest-rate duration, also served as an effective tool for reducing the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, floating-rate notes accounted for 54% of the Fund’s net assets.

Broadly speaking, structured assets tended to outperform over the reporting period, a trend the Fund successfully positioned for, especially during the later months of the period. Fund positions in the Banking sector were beneficial, as were holdings in securitized

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 Class A 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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 1.02%. 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 operating expenses.

assets, especially short subprime automobile securities and collateralized mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015. In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Trustees of The Calvert Fund and Shareholders of Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, as of September 30, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five- year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund as of September 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A –– Significant Accounting Policies

General: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, I (which commenced operations on January 31, 2014), and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other 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, foundations, and endowments 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s 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:

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of

26      www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

    Valuation Inputs  
Investments in Securities* Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Asset-backed securities $264,115,775   $264,115,775

TOTAL $856,845,291   $856,845,291

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

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

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 27


 

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 and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Notes futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Fund invested in 2 year and 5 year U.S. Treasury Notes futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 94 contracts and $3,592,178 weighted average notional value.

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. 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

28      www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when 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. 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 specific 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 financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 7 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and 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.

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.

The expenses paid may not exceed .50% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly, of .25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. Class I and Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $130,603 was payable at year end.

CID received $29,697 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $98,756 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the agreement, $8,640 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The Fund’s use of net capital losses acquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $5,833,491 $4,298,261
Total $5,833,491 $4,298,261

 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $3,541,645
Unrealized (depreciation) (1,216,750)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $2,324,895
 
Undistributed ordinary income $47,125
Capital loss carryforward ($1,263,628)
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $854,520,396

 

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to Section 1256 contracts.

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to asset-backed securities and expired capital losses.

Undistributed net investment income $316,888
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (315,036)

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

  Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month Of Maximum
Average Daily Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$102,818 1.35% $14,667,291 March 2014

 

Note E — Reorganizations

On June 4, 2013, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), providing for the transfer of all of the assets of Calvert Money Market Portfolio (“Money Market”), Calvert Cash Reserves Institutional Prime Fund (“Institutional Prime”), Calvert First Government Money Market Fund (“First Government”), and Calvert Tax-Free Reserves Money Market Portfolio (“Tax-Free”) in exchange for Class A shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (“Ultra-Short”), and the assumption of the liabilities of Money Market, Institutional Prime, First Government, and Tax-Free. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on September 20, 2013.

The reorganization of First Government took place on October 25, 2013.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

Merged Portfolio Shares Acquiring Portfolio Shares Value
First Government, Class O 52,046,075 Ultra-Short, Class A 3,342,715 $52,057,073
First Government, Class B 680,349 Ultra-Short, Class A 43,696 $680,520
First Government, Class C 1,752,620 Ultra-Short, Class A 112,564 $1,752,866

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Ultra-Short were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from First Government was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Ultra-Short’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

32 www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT


 

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
    Appreciation Acquiring  
Merged Portfolio Net Assets (Depreciation) Portfolio Net Assets
 
First Government $54,490,459 $— Ultra-Short $671,008,816

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2013, Ultra-Short’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2014 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $5,529,124 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) $2,407,990 (b)
on investments  
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $7,937,114

 

(a) $5,523,318 as reported, plus $5,806 from pre-merger First Government.

(b) $2,407,830 as reported, plus $160 from pre-merger First Government.

Because Ultra-Short and First Government sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of First Government that have been included in Ultra-Short’s Statement of Operations since October 25, 2013.

The reorganization of Tax-Free took place on November 15, 2013.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

Merged Portfolio Shares Acquiring Portfolio Shares Value
Tax-Free 191,354,400 Ultra-Short, Class A 12,282,054 $191,323,748

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Ultra-Short were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Tax-Free was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Ultra-Short’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
    Appreciation Acquiring  
Merged Portfolio Net Assets (Depreciation) Portfolio Net Assets
 
Tax-Free $191,323,748 $— Ultra-Short $742,407,242

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33


 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2013, Ultra-Short’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2014 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $5,547,407 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) $2,408,449 (b)
on investments  
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $7,955,856

 

(a) $5,523,318 as reported, plus $24,089 from pre-merger Tax-Free.

(b) $2,407,830 as reported, plus $619 from pre-merger Tax-Free

Because Ultra-Short and Tax-Free sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Tax-Free that have been included in Ultra-Short’s Statement of Operations since November 15, 2013.

The reorganization of Money Market and Institutional Prime took place on September 27, 2013.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

Merged Portfolio Shares Acquiring Portfolio Shares Value
Money Market 81,859,389 Ultra-Short, Class A 5,264,269 $81,857,190
Institutional Prime 1,746,416 Ultra-Short, Class A 112,310 $1,742,049

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Ultra-Short were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Money Market and Institutional Prime were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Ultra-Short’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
    Appreciation Acquiring  
Merged Portfolio Net Assets (Depreciation) Portfolio Net Assets
 
Money Market $81,857,190 $— Ultra-Short $604,067,250
 
Institutional Prime $1,742,049 $— Ultra-Short $604,067,250

 

34 www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT


 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2012, Ultra-Short’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2013 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $3,367,404 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) $1,316,831 (b)
on investments  
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $4,684,235

 

(a) $3,342,174 as reported, plus $11,881 and $13,349 from pre-merger Money Market and pre-merger Institutional Prime, respectively.

(b) $1,313,376 as reported, plus $460 and $2,995 from pre-merger Money Market and Institutional Prime, respectively.

Because Ultra-Short, Money Market and Institutional Prime sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Money Market and Institutional Prime that have been included in Ultra-Short’s Statement of Operations since September 27, 2013.

Note F — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be used to reduce the fund’s

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

 

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.

Barbara Krumsiek

President and CEO of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Dear Calvert Shareholder,

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. economy continued to improve. It has largely recovered, is going into an expansion phase, and is expected to continue to grow through the end of 2014 and into 2015. After recovering from a weak first-quarter caused by severe weather across the country, trends in the U.S. economy included a continued low interest-rate environment and declines in the unemployment rate. Economic growth was slower in Europe, Japan, and China, which were weighed down by further deterioration of macroeconomic data from Europe and growing concerns that China’s economic slowdown could negatively impact global economic growth. Global disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, have been largely ignored to date by investors, while renewed investor and consumer confidence is high due to robust economic data and earnings data in the U.S. and supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks around the world continuing to maintain accommodative monetary policies.

While interest rates will likely remain low or rise very gradually over the near term, the Fed tapering with accompanying higher interest rates and continued accommodative language, an improving U.S. economy, and healthy earning and sales growth are expected to favor stocks over bonds over the long term. Overall, investors have become more risk tolerant assisted by accommodative global monetary policy. Volatility remained low throughout the year, but we did see an uptick at the end of the third quarter on fears that a global economic slowdown could also impact the U.S. recovery.

Calvert Global Water Fund

The Calvert Global Water Fund continues to garner attention and results, and its Class Y Shares recently won a Lipper Award1 for 2014 (Best Performing Fund among 105 funds in the Global Natural Resources Funds classification for the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013). We launched the Water fund in 2008 to give investors access to a broad array of companies around the world whose primary focus is on water. The Fund’s holdings span every sub-sector of the water cycle, including the collection, treatment, and distribution of water and includes sector holdings in water infrastructure, utilities, and technologies. I would encourage you visit the Calvert Water Website, www.calvert.com/water, where you can find the Water: Be a Part of the Solution video, the H2Alpha webinar, and the Water Investing app. This Fund is an example of our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration within our Funds.

Moving Forward

The end of 2014 will see my retirement as president and CEO of Calvert Investments. As CEO for more than 17 years, I have seen our business grow from primarily money market assets to a firm that has over $13.5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) in mutual funds that address many social issues. My plan moving forward is to become the Founding Chair of the forthcoming, soon to be launched Calvert institute, which will promote the growth of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) through research, advocacy, and fostering innovation in the field of sustainable investing. In addition, I will continue serving on the Board of Calvert and as chair until May 2015. John Streur joined the Calvert family as CEO-Elect in late October and will take the reins full-time as CEO on January 1, 2015.

Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Calvert Government Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 1.49%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. Government Index, returned 2.28% for the same period. The Fund’s relative underper-formance was largely the result of its shorter-than-benchmark duration and yield-curve positioning.

Market Review

During the 12 month reporting period, U.S. bond prices and yields were buffeted by fluctuating global and U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and shifting central bank policies. U.S. economic growth was choppy, with the weather-induced January-March contraction of 2.1% surrounded by quarters that featured solid growth. Inflation remained tame, rising 1.6%, which is below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) 2% target rate.1 Low inflation is a concern as it signals subdued growth. Personal consumption and business investment were strong, while housing-sector growth disappointed, as mortgage lending practices, although improved, remained restrictive. Over the year, unemployment rate fell from 7.2% to 5.9%, its lowest level since July 2008. For the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy probably2 grew in the neighborhood of 2%, in line with the average rate since the Great Recession.3

Contrary to bond market expectations, geopolitical issues, a lower inflation outlook, and economic uncertainty pushed longer-maturity Treasury rates lower. Consequently, it was a strong year overall for fixed-income investors. Performance in riskier markets was particularly strong, with high-yield and long-term bonds outpacing shorter-term securities. The

Barclays Long Credit Index rose 13.58%, the broad intermediate Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 6.64%, and the shorter-term Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index was up 2.23%. Over the reporting period, the Treasury market as a whole posted a modest total return of 2.3%.4 However, there was wide divergence in the direction of short- and long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury-note yield rose to a cyclical high of 3% in January, but finished September significantly lower at 2.52%, while yields on two-year Treasury notes rose from 0.33% to 0.58% during the period. Overseas, as price deflation and recession threatened the eurozone, the European Central Bank implemented easing policies that drove global bond yields lower. In light of these developments, the dollar rallied and U.S. bonds became more attractive globally. The U.S. economy, credit markets, and currency proved strong relative to those of Japan, China, and Europe, where growth was disappointing.

Portfolio Strategy

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund navigated a challenging fixed-income climate, with widely fluctuating bond yields and uneven economic growth. The U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate ranged from a high of 4.6% to a low of -2.1% during the year. The 10-year Treasury yield ranged between 2.34% and 3.03%, but ended the year at 2.49%—just 12 basis points5 below its starting yield of 2.61%.

The Fund’s shorter-than-benchmark duration6 and yield-curve strategies were the key drivers of underperformance relative to the Index. The yield curve flattened throughout the majority of the year, with short-term interest rates rising and intermediate- and long-term rates falling. The Fund’s overall overweight to the under-performing intermediate area of the yield curve ultimately detracted from returns. Partly compensating for these results was strong performance from our opportunistic allocation to out-of-benchmark, high-quality corporate and securitized (also called asset-backed) securities.

The Fund’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, detracted from performance.

We continue to keep the duration of the Fund shorter than that of the benchmark. Maintaining a short relative duration should help mitigate some of the negative price effects of an increase in interest rates. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration was 3.87 years and the duration of the benchmark was 5.10 years.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy will continue to expand slowly, albeit at sub-trend growth rates. Measures of labor-market slack have continued to improve, but inflation remains below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. As a result, the Fed may not be in any hurry to tighten monetary policy after its quantitative easing (QE) program ends in October 2014. While the Fed is continuing to signal an increase in the Fed funds policy rate sometime in 2015, the exact timing and pace remain uncertain. In our view, yields in the two- to five-year maturity range should continue to rise steadily as policy rate hikes approach.

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 distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 1.35%. 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 operating expenses.

The central bank may start to shrink its $4 trillion portfolio gradually after the first few policy rate hikes. In our view, it would take a financial crisis or convincing evidence of a recession and/or deflation for the Fed to engage in another program of balance-sheet expansion.

Over the longer term, we expect the benchmark 10-year Treasury-note yield to fluctuate between 2% and 4%, influenced by trends in economic data, major central bank forward guidance, and flows in global fixed-income markets. In the shorter term, as bond yields overall remain very low, there is some downside market risk should the Fed start hiking interest rates earlier than mid-2015. In our view, money markets rates will remain pinned near zero percent well into next year. In this environment, we believe security selection, and active management of duration and the yield curve, should be key drivers of performance going forward.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

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: 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 Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, and I. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. 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 is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other 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 (“the Board”) 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.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s 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

20      www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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 methodologies 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. There were no such transfers 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 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed 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 of sufficient credit quality 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT 21


 

Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At September 30, 2014, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

    Valuation Inputs  
Investments in Securities* Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Asset-backed securities $297,596   $297,596
Commercial mortgage-backed        
securities 182,419   182,419
Corporate debt 1,788,337   1,788,337
U.S. government obligations 19,111,917   19,111,917
Other debt obligations 76,587   76,587
TOTAL $21,456,856   $21,456,856
Other financial instruments** $48,566   $48,566

 

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

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

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 and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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

22      www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

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 year, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Notes and Bond futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, 30 year, and Ultra U.S. Treasury Notes and Bond futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 13 contracts and $748,260 weighted average notional value.

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. 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 specific 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 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 GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT 23


 

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 accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and 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.

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 Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .35% (.40% prior to January 1, 2014) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. At year end, $43,118 was payable to the Advisor.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2015. The contractual expense caps are 1.04%, 2.04%, and .73% for Class A, C, and I, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% (.15% prior to January 1, 2014) for Classes A and C and .10% for Class I based on their average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,818 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .25% and 1.00% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and 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 C, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $3,942 was payable at year end.

CID received $2,434 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $2,521 for the year

24      www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT

 

ended September 30, 2014. Under the terms of the agreement, $201 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $45,000 plus up to $2,000 for each regular Board and Committee meeting attended. The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C — Investment Activity and Tax Information

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. government securities, were $13,242,390 and $18,473,504, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $195,409,187 and $197,787,214, respectively.

The Fund may purchase securities, typically short-term variable rate demand notes, from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2014, such sales transactions were $1,707,846. The realized loss on the sales transactions was $8,195.

Capital Loss Carryforward  
No Expiration Date  
Short-term ($653,753)
Long-term (319,841)

 

Capital losses can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. They will also retain their character as either long-term or short-term.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions Paid From: 2014 2013
Ordinary income $299,271 $1,380,189
Long-term capital gain 299,636
Total $299,271 $1,679,825

 

As of September 30, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $41,664
Unrealized (depreciation) (205,802)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($164,138)
Undistributed ordinary income $646
Capital loss carryforward ($973,594)
Federal income tax cost of investments $21,620,994

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

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

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to investments in asset-backed securities.

Undistributed net investment income $4,249
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (4,249)

 

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2014, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:

  Weighted Average Maximum Amount Month Of Maximum
Average Daily Balance Interest Rate Borrowed Amount Borrowed
$14,546 1.36% $900,838 November 2013

 

Note E — Subsequent Events

In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these 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, 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) may also

be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be 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.
