Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bail-out seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 2.18%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, returned 3.77% for the same period. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to the weaker performance of some out-of-index holdings. Our duration strategy helped performance, especially during the last month of the reporting period.
Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the

eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global selloff in “risk” assets, including U.S. corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global economic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.
Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The central banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected timeframe for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.

The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default, and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.25%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.
Portfolio Strategy
During the reporting period, we repositioned the Fund to reflect a decrease in demand for thinly traded securities. We will continue to actively reduce our exposure to these types of investments and reallocate the proceeds to more liquid index-type names. This will help increase Fund liquidity as well as selectively increase our corporate credit exposure. We will continue to include out-of-index securities in the Fund when we believe they offer compelling relative value, but the size of these holdings will be smaller than it has been in the past.
We lengthened the Fund’s duration during the reporting period. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements. At the start of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration was 5.07 years compared to the benchmark’s 6.67 years. By the end of the period, we had extended duration to roughly 5.65 years, while the index’s duration stood at 6.74 years. Ten-year Treasury rates rose during the reporting period from 1.92% to 2.22%. The Fund’s duration, which remained shorter than that of the index,

helped offset some of the negative consequences of higher interest rates. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.
The Fund’s exposure to high-yield bonds, which are not included in the index, helped performance during the period. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, which measures the performance of high-yield bonds, returned 11.65% during the six-month reporting period. At the beginning of the period, approximately 12.64% of the Fund was invested in high-yield bonds. (This percentage does not include non-rated bonds.)
Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace, but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.
In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers six classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, B, C, I, R, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class R shares are generally only available to certain retirement plans where plan level or omnibus accounts are held on the books of the Fund. Class R shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have a higher level of expenses than Class A Shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $144,886,765 or 8.9% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 27
categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, sovereign government bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 28
private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2012:

www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 29
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($9,903,008). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 30
During the six month period, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year, and 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 4,142 contracts and $27,967,881 weighted average notional value.
Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purpose of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are covered with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 23.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I and Class R shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has arrangements with its custodian banks whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the banks. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such deposit arrangements may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The update creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. The Fund’s use of net capital loss carryforwards acquired from Summit Apex Bond Fund may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
As of March 31, 2012, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDITA financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
NOTE E — OTHER
On October 19, 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio holdings was then being fair valued. The Advisor subsequently determined that it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that portfolio holding as well as certain related holdings had been carried from March 2008 through the Fund’s fiscal year end. These adjustments had the effect of changing the net asset value at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the period. Accordingly, in order to correct these shareholder trades, the Advisor contributed $12,614,421 to the Fund on December 27, 2011, which will be provided for the benefit of affected shareholders.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Effective May 2, 2012, UNIFI Mutual Holding Company changed its name to Ameritas Mutual Holding Company.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 43
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At meetings held on December 7 and 29, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 45
fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into consideration issues with respect to certain of the portfolio holdings held by the Fund and the Advisor’s actions in regard to those portfolio holdings, as well as the Advisor’s plans with respect to certain related valuation matters. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Fund’s performance. The Board also noted that earlier in the year the Advisor had changed the composition of the Fund’s portfolio management team. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Fund’s performance.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among
www.calvert.com CALVERT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 46
other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class I, Class R and Class Y shares. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class I, Class R and Class Y shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Fund; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bailout seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert Short Duration Income Fund (Class A Shares at NAV) returned 2.69%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index, returned 2.64% for the same period. The Fund’s shorter, more defensive duration served the Fund well in a rising interest rate environment. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements.

Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global selloff in “risk” assets, including U.S. corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global economic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.

Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The central banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected timeframe for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.
The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default, and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.15%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.
Portfolio Strategy
During the reporting period, we repositioned the Fund to reflect a decrease in demand for thinly traded securities. We plan to continue to actively reduce our exposure to these types of investments and reallocate the proceeds to more liquid index-type names. This will help increase Fund liquidity as well as selectively increase our corporate credit exposure. We will continue to include out-of-index securities in the Fund when we believe they offer compelling relative value, but the size of these holdings will be smaller than it has been in the past.
Calvert Short Duration Income Fund’s strategy is to continue to reduce exposure to out-of-index, less liquid holdings while adding more liquid positions that offer value. Value is certainly a relative term. Our view of value is informed by our macro strategy, which is to cushion the effect of rising interest rates by providing a shorter, more defensive duration than the passive benchmark. We plan to continue to hold shorter-maturity, higher-rated positions within the high-yield sector in an effort to add incremental yield to the Fund. We also plan to continue to trade Treasury volatility and yield curve relationships, and we expect this will play a significant role in performance. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

*Note Regarding Class I Shares Total Returns: There were times during the reporting period when there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of reporting Average Annual Total Return, Class A performance at NAV (i.e. does not reflect deduction of the Class A front-end sales charge) is used during these periods in which there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of this Average Annual Total Return, the Class A performance at NAV was used during the period November 7, 2005 through April 21, 2006.
** Calvert Short Duration Income Fund first offered Class Y shares beginning on February 29, 2008. Performance prior to February 29, 2008 reflects the performance of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). Actual Class Y share performance would have been different.

The Fund’s exposure to high-yield bonds, which are not included in the index, helped performance during the period. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, which measures the performance of high-yield bonds, returned 11.65% during the six-month reporting period. At the beginning of the period, approximately 10.22% of the Fund was invested in high-yield bonds. (This percentage does not include non-rated bonds.)
Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace, but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.
In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(b) This security was valued by the Board of Trustees. See Note A.
(d) Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest rates which are periodically redetermined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end. Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.
(e) Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
(m) The Illinois Insurance Department prohibited Lumbermens from making interest payments. This security is no longer accruing interest.
(n) The Illinois Insurance Department prohibited Lumbermens from making interest payments. This TIERS security is based on interest payments from Lumbermens. This security is no longer accruing interest.
(p) The State of New York Insurance Department has prohibited Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co. from making interest payments. This security is no longer accruing interest.
(r) The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate at period end.
(w) Security is in default and is no longer accruing interest.
(x) Alliance Bancorp and its affiliates filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on July 13, 2007. This security is no longer accruing interest.
(y) The government of Iceland took control of Glitnir Banki HF (the “Bank”) on October 8, 2008. The government has prohibited the Bank from paying any claims owed to foreign entities. This security is no longer accruing interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Short Duration Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund currently offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have a higher expense ratio than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $41,233,383 or 2.0% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
www. | calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 30 |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($2,821,563). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts
www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 32
as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Bond futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
During the six month period, the Fund invested in 2 year, 5 year, and 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 3,670 contracts and $27,016,059 weighted average notional value.
Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are “covered” with an equivalent amount of high quality, liquid securities.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
www. | calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33 |
date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 26.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34 |
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The update creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
NOTE E — OTHER
On October 19, 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio holdings was then being fair valued. The Advisor subsequently determined that it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that portfolio holding as well as certain related holdings had been carried from March 2008 through the Fund’s fiscal year end. These adjustments had the effect of changing the net asset value at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the period. Accordingly, in order to correct these shareholder trades, the Advisor contributed $10,161,859 to the Fund on December 27, 2011, which will be provided for the benefit of affected shareholders.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor,
www. | calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 43 |
administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At meetings held on December 7 and 29, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the
www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 45
Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into consideration issues with respect to certain of the portfolio holdings held by the Fund and the Advisor’s actions in regard to those portfolio holdings, as well as the Advisor’s plans with respect to certain related valuation matters. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and
www.calvert.com CALVERT SHORT DURATION INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 46
that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A, Class I and Class Y shares. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board also took into account the addition of a breakpoint to the advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for one share class. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A, Class I and Class Y shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund was currently realizing economies of scale in its advisory fee. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also took into account the reduction in one of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bailout seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (class A shares at NAV) returned 2.70%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays Long U.S. Credit Index, returned 4.04% for the same period. The majority of the Fund’s underper-formance was due to the weaker performance of some of the Fund’s out-of-index holdings. The Fund’s shorter, more defensive duration helped performance, especially during the last month of the reporting period. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest-rate movements.

Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global selloff in “risk” assets, including U.S. corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global economic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.
Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The central banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected timeframe for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.
The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default, and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines, and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.
Portfolio Strategy
During the reporting period, we repositioned the Fund to reflect a decrease in demand for thinly traded securities. We will continue to actively reduce our exposure to these types of investments and reallocate the proceeds to more liquid index-type names. This will help

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75% and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.32%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

increase Fund liquidity, as well as selectively increase our corporate credit exposure. We will continue to include out-of-index securities in the Fund when we believe they offer compelling relative value, but the size of these holdings should be smaller than it has been in the past.

CLASS A | (with max. load) | |
One year | 3.62 | % |
Five year | 8.96 | % |
Since inception (12/31/2004) | 7.98 | % |
Our underperformance during the reporting period was largely due to the weaker performance of some of the Fund’s investment-grade positions that were not included in the index as well as the Fund’s shorter-duration corporate exposure than that of the index.
We lengthened the Fund’s duration during the reporting period. At the start of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration was 7.30 years compared to the benchmark’s 12.97 years. By the end of the period, we had extended duration to roughly 9.51 years, while the index’s duration stood at 13.11 years. Ten-year Treasury rates rose during the reporting period from 1.92% to 2.22%. The Fund’s duration, which remained shorter than that of the index, helped offset some of the negative consequences of higher interest rates. We feel it’s prudent to maintain a shorter duration than the benchmark in this low interest rate environment. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.
The Fund’s high-yield bonds, which are not included in the index, made a positive contribution to performance during the six-month period. At the start of the reporting period, high-yield bonds accounted for 7.50% (does not include non-rated bonds) of the Fund’s assets. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, a high-yield bond index, returned 11.65% during the reporting period.
Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.
In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Long-Term Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers Class A shares which are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $2,803,012, or 1.4% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, sovereign government bonds, floating rate loans, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices, and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mort-
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22 |
gage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency Mortgage Securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2012:
| | | VALUATION INPUTS | | | |

www.calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Bond futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.
During the six month period, the Fund invested in 2 year, 10 year, and 30 year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 449 contracts and $8,675,568 weighted average notional value.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24 |
Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purpose of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are “covered” with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 19.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25 |
years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The update creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
NOTE E — OTHER
On October 19, 2011, the Advisor determined that it was necessary to change the price at which one of the Fund’s portfolio holdings was then being fair valued. The Advisor subsequently determined that it was appropriate to change the fair value prices at which that portfolio holding as well as certain related holdings had been carried from March 2008 through the Fund’s fiscal year end. These adjustments had the effect of changing the net asset value of the Fund by ($203,277), ($483,547), ($125,413), and ($602,412) (unaudited) as of September 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively. These adjustments also had the effect of changing the net asset value per share at which shareholder subscriptions and redemptions were executed during the period. Accordingly, in order to correct these shareholder trades, the Advisor contributed $381,095 to the Fund on December 27, 2011, which will be provided for the benefit of affected shareholders.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Effective May 2, 2012, UNIFI Mutual Holding Company changed its name to Ameritas Mutual Holding Company.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31 |
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At meetings held on December 7 and 29, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33 |
fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into consideration issues with respect to certain of the portfolio holdings held by the Fund and the Advisor’s actions in regard to those portfolio holdings, as well as the Advisor’s plans with respect to certain related valuation matters. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its Lipper peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011, and underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34 |
The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A shares. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board also took into account the reduction in the administrator fee that went into effect earlier in the year. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time given the Fund’s current size. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also took into account the reduction in the administrative fee.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT LONG-TERM INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35 |
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bail-out seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.
As always, we thank you for investing with Calvert.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 1.44%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays 9-12 Months Short Treasury Index, returned 0.09% for the same period. The Fund’s outperformance was largely due to its positions in corporate bonds, which generally rallied during the reporting period. The benchmark index does not include corporate bonds.

Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global selloff in “risk” assets, including U.S. corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global economic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.
Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected time-frame for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.
The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines, and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.
Portfolio Strategy
The Fund holds floating-rate notes, which helped performance during the reporting period. These are short-term investments with variable rates that help protect investors in a rising interest rate environment. Returns on floating-rate notes are linked to a benchmark interest rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amount of interest paid is
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 7
reset at regular intervals, increasing or decreasing in lockstep with the underlying benchmark rate. Three-month LIBOR rose from 0.37% to 0.47% over the six-month reporting period. At the beginning of the reporting period, floating-rate notes accounted for 26.3% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.
The Fund’s out-of-index holdings in both investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds also contributed to its outperformance during the six-month period. At the beginning of the reporting period, high-yield bonds accounted for 7.62% of the Fund’s net assets. (This percentage does not include non-rated bonds.) The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 11.65% for the six-month reporting period.

Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.
We expect money-market rates to remain very low over the next six months. In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Class A shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.06%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(b) This security was valued by the Board of Trustees. See Note A.
(d) Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at period end.
Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.
(e) Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
(r) The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate at period end.
(y) The government of Iceland took control of Glitnir Banki HF (the “Bank”) on October 8, 2008. The government has prohibited the Bank from paying any claims owed to foreign entities. These securities are no longer accruing interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Ultra-Short Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers Class A and Class Y shares of beneficial interest. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.25%. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $576,105 or 0.1% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and commercial mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2012:

www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Bond futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.
During the six month period, the Fund invested in 2 year and 5 year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 229 contracts and $37,749,927 weighted average notional value.
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25
Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are “covered” with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See Statement of Net Assets footnotes on page 19.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assts of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 7 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26
expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At meetings held on December 7 and 29, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34
Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into consideration issues with respect to certain of the portfolio holdings held by the Fund and the Advisor’s actions in regard to those portfolio holdings, as well as the Advisor’s plans with respect to certain related valuation matters. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the same one- and three-year periods. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) and total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimburse-
www.calvert.com CALVERT ULTRA-SHORT INCOME FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35
ments) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class Y shares. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for one share class. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class Y shares. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund had not yet reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its advisory fee would be triggered. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bail-out seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert Government Fund (Class A Shares at NAV) returned 0.33%. Its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. Government Index, returned -0.28% for the same period. The Fund’s relative outperformance was largely due to its defensive duration strategy. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest-rate movements. The Fund’s duration was shorter than that of the Index, which helped performance in a rising interest rate environment.
Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global sell-off in “risk” assets, including U.S. corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global eco-

nomic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.
Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The central banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected timeframe for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.
The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt

markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines, and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.

Portfolio Strategy
Calvert Government Fund maintained a defensive duration strategy during the reporting period. The Fund’s duration was shorter than that of its passive benchmark index and we expect it will continue to be shorter for the foreseeable future. We think the risk of rising interest rates is greater than the risk of rates moving lower. The Federal Reserve intends to keep rates low for an extended period of time; however, the market remains concerned about negative real yields. As a result, rates are likely to remain volatile. Real yield is an investment’s return adjusted for inflation. If inflation is higher than the return earned, the investor’s real yield is negative.
We will continue to trade Treasury volatility and yield curve relationships. We believe that positioning the Fund for the longer term while also taking advantage of shorter-term opportunities is the prudent way to be involved in a Fed-manipulated rates market. The Fund uses Treasury futures to hedge its interest rate position.

Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.
In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued. We expect volatility in the U.S. Treasury market to remain elevated, and we will continue to trade actively in an effort to take advantage of anticipated changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Classes A and C shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A sales charge of 3.75%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.89%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Government Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers three classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, and I. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A Shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $160,786 or 0.4% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20
assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2012:

Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Fund may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. Government obligations. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates. The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund. During the period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury Bond futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund. The Fund’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.
During the six month period, the Fund invested in 5 year and 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 5 contracts and $357,980 weighted average notional value.
Short Sales: The Fund may use a hedging technique that involves short sales of U.S. Treasury securities for the purposes of managing the duration of the Fund. Any short sales are “covered” with an equivalent amount of high-quality, liquid securities.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22
net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23
the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The update creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

Borrowings under this committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
NOTE E – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25
Effective May 2, 2012, UNIFI Mutual Holding Company changed its name to Ameritas Mutual Holding Company.
NOTE F – REORGANIZATION
On December 8, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Short-Term Government Fund (“Short-Term Government”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Government Fund (“Government”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Short-Term Government. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 15, 2011 and the reorganization took place on April 29, 2011.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
MERGED PORTFOLIO | SHARES | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | SHARES | VALUE |
Short-Term Government, Class A | 55,201 | Government, Class A | 172,034 | $2,879,910 |
|
Short-Term Government, Class I | 426,651 | Government, Class I | 1,327,358 | $22,220,781 |
|
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Government were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Short-Term Government were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Government’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
| | UNREALIZED | | |
MERGED | | APPRECIATION | | |
PORTFOLIO | NET ASSETS | (DEPRECIATION) | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | VALUE |
Short-Term Government | $25,100,691 | $295,187 | Government | $6,760,223 |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2010, Government’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 would have been as follows:
Net investment income | $ | 311,621 | (a) |
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 1,230,715 | (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations | $ | 1,542,336 | |
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26
Because Government and Short-Term Government sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Short-Term Government that have been included in Government’s Statement of Operations since April 29, 2011.
(a) $173,204 as reported, plus $138,417 from Short-Term Government pre-merger. (b) $1,274,904 as reported, minus $44,189 from Short-Term Government pre-merger

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At meetings held on December 7 and 29, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee;
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33
comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into consideration issues with respect to certain of the portfolio holdings held by the Fund and the Advisor’s actions in regard to those portfolio holdings, as well as the Advisor’s plans with respect to certain related valuation matters. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its benchmark and with that of comparable mutual funds. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking
www.calvert.com CALVERT GOVERNMENT FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34
to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time given the Fund’s current size. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After a tumultuous fourth quarter of 2011, investors breathed a sigh of relief in early 2012. Headlines about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis had reached a fever pitch during the final months of 2011 and investors worldwide held their breath, concerned about the potential fallout on markets near and far.
However, long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank that enabled the region’s banks to borrow at very low interest rates as well as progress on a Greek bail-out seemed to pull the eurozone back from the brink of collapse. As a result, the broad international markets of the MSCI EAFE Index improved, returning 14.73% for the reporting period.
Overall, key U.S. economic indicators such as the unemployment rate, manufacturing data, housing market fundamentals, and consumer confidence showed gradual improvement. But consumer spending remained weak, and gasoline prices topping $4.00 a gallon in some parts of the country by March did not help. As a result, economic growth continued at a snail’s pace.
Investment-grade non-Treasury bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, fared well with a powerful rally in February and a return of 3.77% for the six-month reporting period. That’s better than the 0.02% return for three-month Treasury bills but slightly less than the 3.91% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, both municipal and non-Treasury investment-grade bonds earned significantly less than the 11.65% return for the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. In comparison, stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 25.89% for the period.
Strengthening U.S. Banking System
With all the talk of crisis in the European banking system, I think it’s worth noting the improvements in the health of the banking system here in the United States. While it’s difficult to say that U.S. banks as a whole are completely out of the woods, notable strides have been made over the last year.
In 2011, assets of “problem institutions” decreased 18% from a 2010 high to $319 billion, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) data.1 The FDIC uses a composite rating to identify problem institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. The number of failed institutions fell 70% in 2011 as well.
The quality of the debt that FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions hold is improving as well. Net charge-offs for bad loans were down 40% from the prior year. In fact, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the sixth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year decline in charge-offs and the lowest quarterly level for charge-offs since the beginning of 2008. Also, the amount of loans that were more than 90 days past due declined 15% since the end of 2010.

Other Calvert News
As you may know, we launched Calvert Equity Income Fund2 last fall to offer the potential for attractive income generation and competitive total return by investing in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks that we believe to be undervalued. Calvert Large Cap Value Fund co-portfolio managers James McGlynn, CFA and Yvonne Bishop, CFA are managing the new Fund as well. Both Funds feature Calvert’s SAGE strategy, which involves Calvert actively engaging with companies held in the Fund to engender positive change.
A Variety of Ways to Stay Informed
We are cautiously optimistic about the continued economic recovery, but much uncertainty and the potential for renewed volatility remains. That’s why we always feel it’s best to maintain a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. And of course, we suggest you consult your financial advisor if you have questions or concerns.
We also invite you to visit our website, www.calvert.com, for fund information, portfolio updates, and commentary from Calvert professionals. And now you can get the same information on the go with Calvert’s new iPhone® app, which is available for free at iTunes.

Performance
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2012, Calvert High Yield Bond Fund (Class A shares at NAV) returned 9.63%. Its benchmark index, the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 11.65% for the same period. The Fund’s overweight position in higher-quality bonds detracted from its relative performance.
Market Review
The six-month reporting period began with great angst as financial markets struggled to recover from disruptions, including the eurozone sovereign debt crisis; the credit rating downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard & Poor’s, which led to a sharp global sell off in “risk” assets, including U.S.

corporate bonds; and reduced expectations for global economic growth. Concerted and major action by the world’s largest central banks helped stabilize markets, and continued, gradual improvement in U.S. economic data helped the market recover. By the beginning of October, equity and corporate bond markets had begun a rally that continued through the end of the reporting period.
Since the U.S. mortgage crisis began in earnest in late 2007, a major catalyst for market rallies has been the anticipated and actual moves of the world’s major central banks. The central banks did not disappoint last summer. The earliest response to the market dislocations in the summer of 2011 came from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), which extended the expected timeframe for its near-zero interest rate policy through late 2014. The Fed took additional actions to hold down the yields on Treasuries, encouraging investors to take more risk.

The Fed’s actions were a salve, but investors remained worried about the prospects for a disorderly Greek default and the possibility that Italy and Spain might have difficulty in the debt markets. The euro-area banking system started to freeze. U.S. money-market funds stopped short-term lending to most euro-area banks. However, major central banks agreed to reopen currency swap lines, and funding markets began to defrost. Investors’ concerns persisted until early December, when the European Central Bank (ECB) stepped in with a substantial package of easing provisions that included three-year loans to banks, easier loan collateral rules, and a rate cut of 25 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points). After that, Spain and Italy were able to roll their maturing debt at much lower interest rates, Greece negotiated a debt restructuring and was approved for a new bailout, and central banks in Britain, Japan, and China eased monetary policy further.
The concerted action of central banks, especially the ECB, stimulated a strong rally in riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds. Volatility in these markets dropped sharply and liquidity improved. Yields on safe-haven government bonds rose. Over the course of the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased by 20 basis points to 2.22%. The trend was supported by a string of positive U.S. economic reports, especially regarding the labor market. As of March 2012, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen from 9% to 8.2%. The U.S. housing market remained weak, but there were signs of a bottom. The inflation rate rose, but expectations for inflation remain constrained. Perhaps hoping to offset pressure from opponents of its unprecedented easy monetary policy, the Fed announced a 2% inflation-rate target. Money-market rates remain very low, pinned down by Fed policy.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Classes A and I shares and reflect the deduction of Class A’s maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. 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 lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.56%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

Portfolio Strategy
During the past six months, investors’ appetite for risk increased dramatically, and large amounts of cash flowed into the high-yield bond market. This lifted prices of the riskiest bonds in the market and caused the difference in yield between higher-quality high-yield bonds and lower-quality high-yield bonds to shrink. As a result, we are spending more time carefully assessing credit risk and relative value. The highest-quality segment of the high-yield market (BB rated bonds) returned 10.01% during the reporting period, while the lowest-quality segment (CCC to Default) returned 24.25%.
Although the U.S. economy is growing slowly and our Fund is comprised almost entirely of bonds of U.S. issuers, we believe global issues could puncture investor confidence. The European fiscal crisis continues to smolder, and China’s near-term growth may be slowing. During periods of global stress, we have seen “risk” assets, such as high-yield bonds and stocks, decline in tandem. We believe the Fund’s bias toward higher-quality high-yield credit should help protect against defaults, reduce volatility, and create the opportunity to earn competitive returns.
Outlook
We started 2012 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, and we retain that view. Economic and financial challenges remain largely unchanged. Euro-area troubles have receded somewhat, but many of the underlying issues remain unresolved. The U.S. economy is growing at a better pace but remains encumbered by the baggage of the financial crisis, including a weak housing market, heavier regulation, and bitterly divided political leadership in an election year. Prospects for healthy global economic growth are dimmer.

In our opinion, corporate bonds have moved from extremely undervalued relative to Treasuries to being more fairly valued. In our taxable bond Funds, we remain poised to take advantage of pricing anomalies created by rough markets, and plan to use windows of liquidity to sell positions that we believe have become fully valued.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Fund is comprised of six separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. The Fund began offering Class C shares on October 31, 2011. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. The Fund began offering Class Y shares on July 29, 2011. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $305,109, or 0.5% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2012:
| VALUATION INPUTS |
Investments in Securities* | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | | Total |
Corporate debt | — | $55,100,112 | $110 | | $55,100,222 |

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.
A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 17.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.
www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26
are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund had no such purchases or sales transactions.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
As of March 31, 2012, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | |
Unrealized appreciation | $2,517,370 | |

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor,
www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33
administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on December 7, 2011, the Board of Trustees, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Trustees, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between The Calvert Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Fund.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services;
www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35
the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Trustees’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board took into account the Advisor’s cur-
www.calvert.com CALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 36
rent undertaking to maintain expense limitations for some classes. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund for some classes. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for some classes. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time given the Fund’s current size. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the performance of the Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
