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.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Index reflects no deductions for fees or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

ANALYSIS
By
Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
|
|
The Portfolio’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 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 Portfolio’s high-yield holdings 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
4.85% (does not include non-rated securities) of the Portfolio’s
net assets.
We have been keeping the Portfolio’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 Portfolio was 5.89
years while the duration of the Index was 7.05 years.
On the negative side, the Portfolio’s tendency to hold higher-
quality investment-grade corporates held back its relative returns
to some degree in a quarter when lower-quality bonds generally
performed best.
During the quarter, we continued to add some asset-backed
securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities
(CMBS) to the Portfolio. These structured bonds should increase
the diversification level of the Portfolio 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
2.70% of the Portfolio’s net assets and CMBS accounted for 3.10%.

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. 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.
