Ratings are determined by using S&P, Moody's and Fitch rating services, whose rating categories are
reflected above respectively. The letter ratings generally range from AAA
(judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk) to D
(the lowest rated class of bonds, typically in default with respect to timely payment of principal or interest).
Bonds rated by all three services are assigned the median rating; if a bond is rated by only two agencies,
it is assigned the lowest rating; if it is only rated by one agency, it is assigned that rating.
Government securities may be rated lower than AAA/Aaa/AAA or may not be rated, and may include foreign government securities.
If a bond is not rated by any of the aforementioned rating services, it appears in the "Not Rated" category.
Ratings are subject to change.

ANALYSIS
By
Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
|
|
The Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds during a quarter when
high-yield securities outperformed investment-grade debt was
the most significant factor that led to its relative outperformance
in the first quarter, but its strong security selection and short
relative duration also contributed. Since the Index is entirely
investment-grade bonds, it did not benefit from the continuing
rally in the high-yield sector. The Fund’s high-yield holdings are
largely very short-maturity and generally tend to be on the higher
end of the high-yield credit quality range. As of the beginning of
the first quarter, high-yield securities accounted for 11.46% (does
not include non-rated securities) of the Fund’s net assets.
While investment-grade bonds as a whole did not perform as
well as high-yield securities in the first quarter, the Fund’s security
selection within the investment-grade corporate debt universe
helped add value relative to the Index. The Fund did not hold
some bonds that are fairly large components of the Index and saw
their credit spreads jump higher during the quarter as a result of
announced leveraged buyouts, major corporate restructurings,
or downturns in highly cyclical industries. For example, the Fund
did not own bonds issued by H.J. Heinz or Dell that dragged down
the performance of the Index in the first quarter amid news of
the buyout of Heinz and the effort by Michael Dell to take the
company that he founded private.
We have been keeping the Fund’s duration somewhat shorter
than that of the Index, and this conservative interest-rate
positioning helped cushion the negative effects of the slight
increase in interest rates during the quarter relative to the Index.
As of December 31, 2012, the duration of the Fund was 2.23 years
while the duration of the Index was 2.82 years.

High-yield, high risk bonds, which are rated below investment grade, can involve a substantial risk of loss because they have a greater risk of
issuer default and are subject to greater price volatility than investment-grade bonds.
Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform because of the following risks: the market prices of bonds held by the Fund may fall; individualinvestments of the Fund may not perform as expected; and/or the Fund’s portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. In addition, the credit quality of the securities may deteriorate, which could lead to default or bankruptcy of the issuer where the issuer becomes unable to pay its obligations when due. Investments in high-yield, high risk bonds can involve a substantial risk of loss. An active trading style can result in higher turnover (exceeding 100%), may translate to higher transaction costs, may increase your tax liability, and may affect Fund performance. The Fund is nondiversified and may be more volatile than a diversified fund.
Net assets include all share classes.
