Dear Shareholders:

 

Investment Performance

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2010, Calvert Cash Reserves Institutional Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.15%, while its benchmark, the Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Average, returned 0.08%.

 

Investment Climate

The 12-month period that ended September 30, 2010 was another eventful chapter in the history of the U.S. economy and financial markets. The period can be divided, roughly, into three parts. The first, from fall 2009 through winter 2010, featured solid economic growth driven by federal stimulus funding and corporate inventory replenishment. During this time, interest rates increased, with the yield on 10-year Treasury notes reaching 4% early in April.1 The Federal Reserve (Fed) began to passively withdraw monetary stimulus and prepared to more actively draw off excess reserves later in the year.

In the spring, the brewing European sovereign debt crisis boiled over and investors’ risk-aversion returned. The European Union and European Central Bank struggled to establish control, which eventually affected U.S. markets. Yields on liquid, low-risk instruments like Treasuries declined, while the prices of stocks and riskier bonds fell. In addition, there was evidence that the U.S. recovery had stumbled. Indeed, economic growth, which had reached a 5% annualized rate during the last quarter of 2009,2 slowed to 1.7% annualized for the April through June period. The pace of private sector job creation also slowed, and the Fed shelved its plan to withdraw monetary stimulus.

In the summer, European leaders firmly took control of the debt crisis. Investors’ risk appetite revived and markets recovered globally. Savers sought to escape money-market yields, which were near zero percent, and investors sought higher-yielding opportunities. The U.S. economic outlook, however, remained uncertain. During the last three months of the reporting period, the Fed made it clear that low interest rates would persist. In addition, the Fed revived its Treasury purchase program during August. Bonds continued to rally, providing strong returns in the July through September quarter.

As of early October, estimates of economic growth from the Wall Street Journal survey of economic forecasters indicated that the economy grew 3.2% over the entire reporting period. This is in line with the long-term average growth rate for the United States, but is only about one-half the pace experienced during the recovery stages of past deep recessions. We believe that the recovery phase will probably end in the first quarter of 2011, when GDP growth will likely match or eclipse its 2007 high.

The core inflation rate dropped steadily during the first half of the reporting period before settling at 0.9%. It has remained at that level for the past several months.3 The dollar declined broadly, except against the euro, as investors expected the U.S. government and central bank to continue to pursue weak-dollar policies to support exports.

 

Portfolio Strategy

Since the Fed kept the federal funds rate at historic lows during the period, we continued to invest primarily in variable-rate demand notes and U.S. Treasury and agency securities.  This strategy allowed us to provide liquidity and preserve principal without sacrificing credit quality or increasing interest-rate risk. 

 

Outlook

Looking ahead, we think that the process of economic recovery, repair, and restructuring  after the severe financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 will continue. However, deleveraging in the private sector will probably continue to act as a drag on economic growth, limiting the strength of the recovery. We expect the Fed to maintain its expansionary monetary policy to support the anemic economic recovery. On the other hand, in the current political environment, we don’t foresee the passage of any large new fiscal stimulus packages unless the economy falls into another recession.

Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends.  The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results.  Investment return will fluctuate so that current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.  An investment in the Fund/portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.  Although the Fund/Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund/Portfolio. Visit www.calvert.com  for current performance data.

 

 

Since the Fed has continued to keep short-term interest rates pegged to the floor by way of the fed funds rate, money-market yields remain paltry. Regardless, taxable and tax-exempt money-market assets remain substantial at roughly $2.8 trillion. When the fed funds rate eventually begins to rise, the rates on variable-rate demand notes will immediately rise in response, quickly passing the income benefits on to our investors.

Shareholder Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management 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, 2010 to September 30, 2010).

 

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 transactional costs if any. 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.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Calvert Cash Reserves Institutional Prime Fund:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert Institutional Prime Fund (the Fund), the sole series of Calvert Cash Reserves, as of September 30, 2010, 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, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or 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 Institutional Prime Fund as of September 30, 2010, 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 Institutional Prime Fund (“the Fund”), the sole series of Calvert Cash Reserves, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers shares of beneficial interest to the public with no sales charge.

On December 12, 2008, the net assets of the Summit Money Market Fund, a series of Summit Mutual Funds, Inc. Apex Series, merged into the Calvert Institutional Prime Fund.  The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 190,982,179 shares of the Calvert Institutional Prime Fund (valued at $190,982,179) for 190,982,179 shares of the Summit Money Market Fund outstanding at December 12, 2008.  The Summit Money Market Fund’s net assets as of December 12, 2008 were combined with those of the Calvert Institutional Prime Fund.

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). All securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period.  For additional information on the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Fund’s most recent prospectus.  

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of September 30, 2010:

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

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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

 


 

 

Distributions to Shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Expense Offset Arrangements:  The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes:  No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amount and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures.  The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

NOTE B — Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (“the Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an annual rate of .25% of average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $46,668 was payable at year end. In addition, $15,472 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2010.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through January 31, 2011.  The contractual expense cap is .40%.  For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses.  To the extent any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

 


 

 

Calvert Administrative Services Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, $9,334 was payable at year end.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $959 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $76 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 ($32,000 prior to April 1, 2010) plus up to $2,000 ($1,500 prior to April 1, 2010) for each Board and Committee meeting attended. The Board chair and Committee chairs each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Trustee’s fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

($90,190)

 

Federal income tax cost of investments

$217,432,931

 

 

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 due to distributions paid after fiscal year end.

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

The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2010, such purchase and sales transactions were $450,253,000 and $555,121,000, respectively.

 

 

Note D — Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place between all Calvert Group 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 under the committed facility 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, 2010.  For the year ended September 30, 2010, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

 

Schedule of Investments

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

 

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

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

 

Statement of Net Assets

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

 

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

 

Statement of Operations

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

 

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

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

 


 

 

 

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

 

Financial Highlights

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

 

PROXY VOTING

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

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

 

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

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

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

 

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

Item 3.  Audit Committee Financial Expert. 

 

The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that M. Charito Kruvant, an "independent" Trustee serving on the registrant's audit committee, is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.  Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

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

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant.  In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors.  The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members.  In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance.  In addition, the Committee has pre-approved the retention of the auditors to provide tax-related services related to the tax treatment and tax accounting of newly acquired securities, upon request by the investment advisor in each instance.

(f) Not applicable.

S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
