Overview

Fund Management

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.

Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks high current income and capital appreciation, secondarily. 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 may decline; the individual bonds in the Fund may not perform as well as expected; and/or the Fund’s portfolio management practices may not work to achieve their 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. High-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. Government and other high-quality bonds. High-yield/high-risk bonds can experience sudden and sharp price swings, which will affect net asset value.The Fund is nondiversified and compared to other funds, may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers, so that gains and losses on the bonds of a single issuer may have more impact on the Fund.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in high yield, high risk ("junk") bonds, with intermediate maturities. For its investments, the Fund seeks to identify high yield bonds of companies that have the ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. Using fundamental credit analysis of companies, the Fund seeks to invest in companies whose financial condition gives them greater value relative to other companies in the high yield market, providing the further potential for capital appreciation. Consequently, capital appreciation is a secondary objective of the Fund. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in high yield, high risk bonds, also known as "junk" bonds.
