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 holdings of corporate bonds, which are not included
in the benchmark, were the primary factor behind its relative
outperformance in the first quarter of 2013. The Index includes
only short-term Treasury bills, which are currently at or near
historically low yield levels and so have very little room to
appreciate in value.
In particular, the Fund’s small allocation to high-yield corporate
bonds, most of which have very short maturities, helped boost its
relative performance in a quarter when asset classes with more
credit risk tended to perform best. As a result, high yield generally
outperformed investment-grade corporates, which outperformed
short-term Treasuries. As of the beginning of the first quarter,
high-yield bonds accounted for 10.09% (does not include non-
rated bonds) of the Fund’s net assets.
The Fund also maintained a large allocation to floating-rate
corporate notes, whose coupon payments are linked to a
benchmark interest rate such as the London interbank offered
rate (LIBOR). These coupon payments reset at regular intervals,
increasing or decreasing in lockstep with the underlying
benchmark rate. Floating-rate notes have essentially zero
duration, so they can be an effective tool for reducing the
Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Floating-rate notes
accounted for 43.70% of the Fund’s net assets as of the beginning
of the first quarter.
In recent quarters, we have been selectively adding some asset-
backed securities (ABS) to the Fund when they appear to offer the
potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns. These structured
bonds should increase the diversification level of the Fund and
potentially help offset the negative impact of a sustained sell-
off in the corporate bond market, for example. As of December
31, 2012, ABS accounted for 8.89% of the Fund’s net assets. In
addition to ABS, we are also continuing to search for relative value
in other types of structured assets, including residential mortgage-
backed securities (RMBS) and commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS). As of the beginning of the first quarter, RMBS
accounted for 0.12% of the Fund’s net assets and CMBS accounted
for 4.31%.

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. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to the risk that issuers
will prepay the principal more quickly or more slowly than expected, which could cause a Fund to invest the proceeds in less attractive investments
or increase the volatility of their prices. To the extent mortgage-backed securities held by a Fund are subordinated to other interests in the same
mortgage or asset pool, the likelihood of the Fund receiving payments of principal or interest may be substantially limited.
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; individual investments 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. Because a significant portion of securities held by the Fund may have variable or floating interest rates, the amount of the Fund’s monthly distributions to shareholders are expected to vary. Generally when market interest rates fall, the amount of the distributions will decrease. 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.
