Overview

Fund Management

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.

Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to maximize income to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital, through investment in short-term bonds and other income-producing securities. 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.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 uses an active strategy, seeking relative value to earn incremental income. The relative-value approach is used for both the core, longer-term holdings as well as the more actively traded non-core positions. Under normal circumstances, the Fund's average portfolio duration will range from 1 to 3 years. (Duration measures a fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes; longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes.) Typically the Fund invests at least 65% of net assets are in investment grade debt securities, as assessed at the time of purchase. The remaining 35% of the Fund's assets may be in below-investment grade, high-yield debt securities. These securities involve greater risk of default or price declines than investment grade debt securities.

Holdings are subject to change.


Ratings are determined by using S&P, Moody's and Fitch rating services, whose rating categories are reflected above respectively. 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. Bonds issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government are grouped as "Government." If a bond is not rated by any of the aforementioned rating services, it appears in the "Not Rated" category.
