Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Footnotes:
1 For purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (“Kroll”) for securitized debt instruments only (such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of an issuance based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P, Fitch or Kroll (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of domestic investment-grade bonds, including corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class I is linked to Class A and the performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. Effective February 1, 2021, the Fund revised its name, objective and principal investment strategies and adopted a policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/1/25. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,022.70 $2.33 ** 0.46%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Core Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of The Calvert Fund (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return with an emphasis on income. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated securities.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares. 
D  Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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.
E  Options Contracts— Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying

investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. As the purchaser of an index option, the Fund has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the exercise price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Purchased options traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.
F  Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
G  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J  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 from the date of filing.
K  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions— The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.
L  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,160,848.

CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.74%, 0.49% and 0.46% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $298,412.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $464,339.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $83,717 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $10,818 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $7,108 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including paydowns, were $410,674,613 and $201,934,186, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns and TBA transactions, were $1,430,432,893 and $1,343,417,482, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $20,124,089 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $12,837,181 are short-term and $7,286,908 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $1,056,601,812
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 7,971,977
Gross unrealized depreciation (7,786,038)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 185,939

5  Financial Instruments
A summary of futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments.
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund used futures contracts and options on futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk and to manage duration.
At March 31, 2024, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was as follows:

(1) Only the current day's variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations by risk exposure for the six months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows:

The average number of purchased options contracts outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2024, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was 74 contracts.
6  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $7,324,514 and the total value of collateral received was $7,471,056, comprised of cash of $3,406,755 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $4,064,301.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2024.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.
7  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at March 31, 2024. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
8  Affiliated Investments
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.
At March 31, 2024, the value of the Fund's investment in the Notes and in issuers and funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $22,175,135, which represents 2.5% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Footnotes:
1 For purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (“Kroll”) for securitized debt instruments only (such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of an issuance based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P, Fitch or Kroll (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index measures the performance of investment-grade U.S. corporate securities and government-related bonds with a maturity of one year or more. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class's inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,022.00 $3.03 0.60%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.

The percentage shown for each investment category in the Schedule of Investments is based on net assets.
* In U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At March 31, 2024, the aggregate value of these securities is $411,055,143 or 49.4% of the Fund's net assets.
(2) Issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
(3) Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly. Rate shown is the rate at March 31, 2024.
(4) Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at March 31, 2024.
(5) Inverse floating-rate security whose coupon varies inversely with changes in the interest rate index. The stated interest rate represents the coupon rate in effect at March 31, 2024.
(6) Step coupon security. Interest rate represents the rate in effect at
March 31, 2024.
(7) Represents an investment in an issuer that may be deemed to be an affiliate (see Note 8).
(8) All or a portion of this security was on loan at March 31, 2024. The aggregate market value of securities on loan at March 31, 2024 was $34,050,786.
(9) Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside the United States. Security may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At March 31, 2024, the aggregate value of these securities is $7,072,561 or 0.9% of the Fund's net assets.
(10) Security converts to variable rate after the indicated fixed-rate coupon period.
(11) Perpetual security with no stated maturity date but may be subject to calls by the issuer.
(12) When-issued security.
(13) May be deemed to be an affiliated company (see Note 8).
(14) Restricted security. Total market value of restricted securities amounts to $986,290, which represents 0.1% of the net assets of the Fund as of March 31, 2024.
(15) Affiliated fund (see Note 8).
(16) Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for those loans whose rates reset prior to the discontinuance of LIBOR on June 30, 2023) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Rates for SOFR are generally 1 or 3-month tenors and may also be subject to a credit spread adjustment. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold.
(17) TBA (To Be Announced) securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and maturity date. The actual principal amount, which is not expected to differ significantly from the commitment amount, and maturity date are determined upon settlement.
(18) May be deemed to be an affiliated investment company. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of March 31, 2024.
(19) Represents investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of The Calvert Fund (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, through investment in bonds and income-producing securities. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund's forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of March 31, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
23

 


Table of Contents
Calvert
Income Fund
March 31, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer
agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares. 
D  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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E  Senior Floating-Rate Loans— 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. The Fund’s investment 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. 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 such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
F  Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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.
G  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts— The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
H  Options Contracts— Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Fund’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. An option on a futures contract gives the holder the right to enter into a specified futures contract. As the purchaser of an index option, the Fund has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the exercise price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Purchased options traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.
I  Credit Default Swaps— Swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty. Certain swap contracts may be centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”), whereby all payments made or received by the Fund pursuant to the contract are with a central clearing party (CCP) rather than the original counterparty. The CCP guarantees the performance of the original parties to the contract. Upon entering into centrally cleared swaps, the Fund is required to deposit with the CCP, either in cash or securities, an amount of initial margin determined by the CCP, which is subject to adjustment. When the Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty (or CCP in the case of a centrally cleared swap) to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from the contract. When the Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/

If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may create economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments and receipts, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments or receipts for non-centrally cleared swaps are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments or receipts, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts to determine the market value of swaps. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.
J  Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
K  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
L  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
M   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
N  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 from the date of filing.
O  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions— The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.
P  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $236,346 and $27,961 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $5,781 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $1,179 of contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSC paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $27,431 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM agreed to reimburse the Fund $29,216 for a net realized loss due to a trading error. The reimbursement is included in Receivable from affiliates on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The impact of the reimbursement was less than $0.01 per share for each class and had no significant impact on total return for each class.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee.

as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $481,210,161 and $432,257,968, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns and TBA transactions, were $771,408,682 and $759,111,527, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $274,041,250 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $21,045,682 are short-term and $252,995,568 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $950,881,482
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 13,931,984
Gross unrealized depreciation (42,960,562)
Net unrealized depreciation $ (29,028,578)
5  Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at March 31, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments. At March 31, 2024, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk: During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to manage certain investment risks and/or to enhance total return or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities.
Foreign Exchange Risk: During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against the decline in the value of currencies in which its portfolio holdings are denominated against the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rate Risk: During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund used futures contracts and options on futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk and to manage duration.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $17,900. At March 31, 2024, there were no assets pledged by the Fund for such liability.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its derivative counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and the counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the ISDA Master Agreement. Under the ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow the counterparty to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under the ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under the ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments.
At March 31, 2024, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure was as follows:
Risk Derivative Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption Assets Liabilities
Foreign exchange Forward foreign currency exchange contracts Receivable/Payable for open forward foreign currency

(1) Only the current day's variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable.
The Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by risk, which are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are presented in the table above. The following tables present the Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for such assets and pledged by the Fund for such liabilities as of March 31, 2024.

The average notional cost of futures contracts and average notional amounts of other derivative contracts outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2024, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately as follows:
Futures Contracts — Long Futures Contracts — Short Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts* Swap Contracts
$316,250,000 $13,673,000 $10,691,000 $1,014,000
    
* The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the absolute value of notional amounts of currency purchased and currency sold.
The average number of purchased options contracts outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2024, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was 83 contracts.

6  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $34,469,806 and the total value of collateral received was $35,342,052, comprised of cash of $15,081,483 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $20,260,569.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2024.

  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Corporate Bonds $15,081,483 $ — $ — $ — $15,081,483
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.
7  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at March 31, 2024. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
8  Affiliated Investments
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Semiannual Report
March 31, 2024


 


Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Fund Profile

Asset Allocation (% of total investments)
Credit Quality (% of bond and loan holdings)1
 
Footnotes:
1 Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the Fund are provided by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P"), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"). This breakdown assigns a numeric equivalent to the ratings from the aforementioned agencies and the mean is rounded to the nearest integer and converted to an equivalent S&P major rating category. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of an issuance based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index is an unmanaged index of below-investment grade U.S. corporate bonds. ICE® BofA® indices are not for redistribution or other uses; provided “as is”, without warranties, and with no liability. Eaton Vance has prepared this report and ICE Data Indices, LLC does not endorse it, or guarantee, review, or endorse Eaton Vance’s products. BofA® is a licensed registered trademark of Bank of America Corporation in the United States and other countries. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/1/25. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,021.60 $3.44 ** 0.68%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for those loans whose rates reset prior to the discontinuance of LIBOR on June 30, 2023) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Rates for SOFR are generally 1 or 3-month tenors and may also be subject to a credit spread adjustment. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold.
(11) This Senior Loan will settle after March 31, 2024, at which time the interest rate will be determined.
(12) For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, security is categorized as Level 3 (see Note 1A).
(13) May be deemed to be an affiliated investment company. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of March 31, 2024.
(14) Represents investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of The Calvert Fund (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek high current income and capital appreciation, secondarily. The Fund invests primarily in high-yield, high-risk bonds, with varying maturities.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund's forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of March 31, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund.
(2) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six months ended March 31, 2024 is not presented.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.

D  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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E  Senior Floating-Rate Loans— 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. The Fund’s investment 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. 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 such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
F  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts— The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
G  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J  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 from the date of filing.
K  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions— The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
L  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.48% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,016,667.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $10,594 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.02%, 1.77%, 0.77% and 0.71% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses in total of $25,492.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $254,167.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $64,568 and $9,651 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $2,651 as its portion of the sales charges on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The Fund was also informed that EVD received less than $100 and $2,820 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $11,007 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities and including principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $61,081,977 and $67,267,592, respectively.

4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $35,873,419 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $9,542,715 are short-term and $26,330,704 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $475,557,439
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 5,761,095
Gross unrealized depreciation (21,260,880)
Net unrealized depreciation $ (15,499,785)
5  Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at March 31, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments. At March 31, 2024, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against the decline in the value of currencies in which its portfolio holdings are denominated against the U.S. dollar.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $99. At March 31, 2024, there were no assets pledged by the Fund for such liability.
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its derivative counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and the counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the ISDA Master Agreement. Under the ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. The ISDA Master Agreement allows the counterparty to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under the ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under the ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments.

6  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $17,892,940 and the total value of collateral received was $18,224,729, comprised of cash of $17,689,128 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $535,601.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2024.

  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Corporate Bonds $17,689,128 $ — $ — $ — $17,689,128
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.
7  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
8  Affiliated Investments
At March 31, 2024, the value of the Fund’s investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $19,867,985, which represents 4.6% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:

10  Risks and Uncertainties
Credit Risk
The Fund primarily invests in securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated investments. These investments can involve a substantial risk of loss and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal. These investments also have a higher risk of issuer default, are subject to greater price volatility than investment grade securities and may be illiquid.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Footnotes:
1 For purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (“Kroll”) for securitized debt instruments only (such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of an issuance based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P, Fitch or Kroll (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index measures the performance of investment-grade U.S. corporate securities and government-related bonds with a maturity between one and five years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/1/25. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,022.80 $2.23 ** 0.44%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, through investment in short-term bonds and income- producing securities. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated debt securities.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities,

quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of March 31, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Senior Floating-Rate Loans— 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. The Fund’s investment 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. 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 such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
E  Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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
22

 


Table of Contents
Calvert
Short Duration Income Fund
March 31, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

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.
F  Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
G  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J  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 from the date of filing.
K  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions— The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.
L  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.

3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $930,377,463 and $766,474,170, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including maturities, paydowns and TBA transactions, were $896,288,228 and $834,148,059, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $76,337,290 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $31,361,735 are short-term and $44,975,555 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $2,554,808,651
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 18,951,625
Gross unrealized depreciation (63,651,825)
Net unrealized depreciation $ (44,700,200)
5  Financial Instruments

6  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $7,529,399 and the total value of collateral received was $7,681,531, comprised of cash of $7,059,438 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $622,093.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2024.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Corporate Bonds $7,059,438 $ — $ — $ — $7,059,438
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.
7  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
8  Affiliated Investments
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Asset Allocation (% of total investments)

Footnotes:
1 For purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (“Kroll”) for securitized debt instruments only (such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of an issuance based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P, Fitch or Kroll (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg 9-12 Months Short Treasury Index measures the performance of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds with a maturity between nine and twelve months. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares are offered at net asset value (NAV). Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV with all distributions reinvested. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class I is linked to Class A and the performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/1/25. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
Fund profile subject to change due to active management.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,022.85 $2.17 ** 0.43%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, through investment in short-term bonds and income-producing securities. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated debt securities.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Senior Floating-Rate Loans— 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. The Fund’s investment 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. 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 such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
E  Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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.

F  Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
G  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J  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 from the date of filing.
K  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets Annual Fee
Rate
Up to and including $1 billion 0.260%
Over $1 billion 0.250%
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,236,277 or 0.26% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $22,322 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.72%, 0.47% and 0.43% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $259,059.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $570,633.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $278,048 for Class A shares.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $32,915 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $312,542,049 and $345,415,305, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns, were $20,965,141 and $40,593,811, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $22,266,931 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $12,288,815 are short-term and $9,978,116 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $728,780,564
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 2,633,766
Gross unrealized depreciation (2,404,108)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 229,658
5  Financial Instruments
A summary of futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk and to manage duration.

The average notional cost of futures contracts (long) and futures contracts (short) outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $813,000 and $6,879,000, respectively.
6  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $96,298 and the total value of collateral received was $97,995,
comprised of cash.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2024.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Corporate Bonds $97,995 $ — $ — $ — $97,995
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.

7  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at March 31, 2024. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
8  Affiliated Investments
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.
At March 31, 2024, the value of the Fund's investment in the Notes and in issuers and funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $8,674,771, which represents 1.2% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities Index measures agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by Ginnie Mae (GNMA), Fannie Mae (FNMA), and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’s inception, as applicable.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 2/1/25. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,019.80 $ 5.25** 1.04%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Mortgage Access Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of The Calvert Fund (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is total return.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment 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 (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

Total $ (93,810) $ (5,022,466) $ — $ (5,116,276)
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G   Indemnifications— Under the Trust’s organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

H  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 from the date of filing.
I  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions— The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.
J  Forward Sale Commitments—The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to sell generic U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities to hedge its portfolio positions and/or to enhance return. The proceeds to be received from the forward sale commitment are recorded as an asset and a corresponding liability, which is subsequently valued at approximately the current market value of the underlying security in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. The Fund records an unrealized gain or loss on investments to the extent of the difference between the proceeds to be received and the value of the open forward sale commitment on the day of determination. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment or the delivery of securities, the Fund realizes a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment. If the Fund enters into a forward sale commitment for the delivery of a security that it does not own or has the right to obtain, it is subject to the risk of loss if the purchase price to settle the commitment is higher than the price at which it was sold.
K  Reverse Repurchase Agreements— Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio security to another party, such as a bank or broker/dealer, in return for cash. At the same time, the Fund agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon time and price, which reflects an interest payment. In periods of increased demand for a security, the Fund may receive a payment from the counterparty for the use of the security, which is recorded as interest income. Because the Fund retains effective control over the transferred security, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing. The Fund may enter into such agreements when it believes it is able to invest the cash acquired at a rate higher than the cost of the agreement, which would increase earned income. When the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities transferred to another party or the securities in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Fund’s assets. Because reverse repurchase agreements may be considered to be the practical equivalent of borrowing funds (and the counterparty making a loan), they constitute a form of leverage. The Fund segregates cash or liquid assets equal to its obligation to repurchase the security. During the term of the agreement, the Fund may also be obligated to pledge additional cash and/or securities in the event of a decline in the fair value of the transferred security. In the event the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement becomes insolvent, recovery of the security transferred by the Fund may be delayed or the Fund may incur a loss equal to the amount by which the value of the security transferred by the Fund exceeds the repurchase price payable by the Fund.
L  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $77,101.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $867 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.74%, 1.49%, 0.49% and 0.49% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $77,431.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $33,043.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $563 and $255 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $270 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $183 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including paydowns, were $1,039,740 and $1,739,719, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns and TBA transactions, were $156,190,569 and $158,751,057, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $578,015 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $350,840 are short-term and $227,175 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at March 31, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $66,714,005
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 935,052
Gross unrealized depreciation (559,445)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 375,607

6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2024, the remaining contractual maturity of all open reverse repurchase agreements was less than 30 days. The type of securities pledged as collateral for all open reverse repurchase agreements was U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the average borrowings under settled reverse repurchase agreements and the average annual interest rate paid were approximately $5,398,000 and 5.53%, respectively. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the reverse repurchase agreements, the carrying value of the payable for reverse repurchase agreements approximated its fair value at March 31, 2024. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the reverse repurchase agreements would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2024.
Reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund are subject to Master Repurchase Agreements (MRA), which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following table presents the Fund’s reverse repurchase agreements net of amounts available for offset under an MRA and net of the related collateral pledged by the Fund as of March 31, 2024.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.
