CSIF BALANCED
(NOTE: FORMERLY KNOWN AS CSIF MANAGED GROWTH)
ADVISOR CALVERT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.
SUBADVISORS BROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
NCM CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
OBJECTIVE
CSIF BALANCED SEEKS TO ACHIEVE A COMPETITIVE TOTAL RETURN THROUGH AN ACTIVELY
MANAGED PORTFOLIO OF STOCKS, BONDS AND MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS WHICH OFFER
INCOME AND CAPITAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITY AND WHICH SATISFY THE INVESTMENT AND
SOCIAL CRITERIA.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND TYPICALLY INVESTS ABOUT 60% OF ITS ASSETS IN STOCKS AND 40% IN BONDS OR
OTHER FIXED-INCOME INVESTMENTS. STOCK INVESTMENTS ARE PRIMARILY COMMON STOCK IN
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES, WHILE THE FIXED-INCOME INVESTMENTS ARE PRIMARILY A WIDE
VARIETY OF INVESTMENT GRADE BONDS.
CSIF BALANCED INVESTS IN A COMBINATION OF STOCKS, BONDS AND MONEY MARKET
INSTRUMENTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO IN A SINGLE
PRODUCT. THE ADVISOR REBALANCES THE FUND QUARTERLY TO ADJUST FOR CHANGES IN
MARKET VALUE. THE FUND IS A LARGE-CAP, GROWTH-ORIENTED U.S. DOMESTIC PORTFOLIO,
ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE OTHER INVESTMENTS, INCLUDING SOME FOREIGN SECURITIES AND
SOME MID-CAP STOCKS. FOR THE EQUITY PORTION, THE FUND SEEKS COMPANIES WITH
BETTER THAN AVERAGE EXPECTED GROWTH RATES AT LOWER THAN AVERAGE VALUATIONS. THE
FIXED-INCOME PORTION REFLECTS AN ACTIVE TRADING STRATEGY, SEEKING TOTAL RETURN,
AND FOCUSES ON A DURATION TARGET APPROXIMATING THE LEHMAN AGGREGATE BOND INDEX.
EQUITY INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED BY THE TWO SUBADVISORS, WHILE THE ADVISOR
MANAGES THE FIXED-INCOME ASSETS AND DETERMINES THE OVERALL MIX FOR THE FUND
DEPENDING UPON ITS VIEW OF MARKET CONDITIONS AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."
<PAGE>
PRINCIPAL RISKS
YOU COULD LOSE MONEY ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND, OR THE FUND COULD
UNDERPERFORM FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- - THE STOCK OR BOND MARKET GOES DOWN
- - THE INDIVIDUAL STOCKS AND BONDS IN THE FUND DO NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS
EXPECTED
- - FOR THE FIXED-INCOME PORTION OF THE FUND, THE ADVISOR'S FORECAST AS TO
INTEREST RATES IS NOT CORRECT
- - FOR THE FOREIGN SECURITIES HELD IN THE FUND, IF FOREIGN CURRENCY VALUES GO
DOWN VERSUS THE U.S. DOLLAR
- - THE ADVISOR'S ALLOCATION AMONG DIFFERENT SECTORS OF THE STOCK AND BOND
MARKETS DOES NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED
THE ACTIVE TRADING STRATEGY FOR THE FIXED-INCOME PORTION OF THE FUND MAY CAUSE
THE FUND TO HAVE, RELATIVE TO OTHER BALANCED FUNDS, A HIGH AMOUNT OF SHORT-TERM
CAPITAL GAINS, WHICH ARE TAXABLE TO YOU AT THE ORDINARY INCOME TAX RATE.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED
BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
CSIF BALANCED PERFORMANCE
THE BAR CHART AND TABLE BELOW SHOW THE FUND'S ANNUAL RETURNS AND ITS LONG-TERM
PERFORMANCE. THE CHART AND TABLE PROVIDE SOME INDICATION OF THE RISKS OF
INVESTING IN THE FUND. THE CHART SHOWS HOW THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS A SHARES
HAS VARIED FROM YEAR TO YEAR. THE TABLE COMPARES THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE OVER
TIME TO THAT OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX AND THE LEHMAN AGGREGATE BOND
INDEX, A WIDELY RECOGNIZED, UNMANAGED INDEX OF COMMON STOCK AND BONDS PRICES,
RESPECTIVELY. IT ALSO SHOWS THE FUND'S RETURNS COMPARED TO THE LIPPER BALANCED
FUND INDEX, A COMPOSITE INDEX OF THE ANNUAL RETURN OF MUTUAL FUNDS THAT HAVE AN
INVESTMENT GOAL SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE FUND. THE FUND'S PAST PERFORMANCE DOES
NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE HOW THE FUND WILL PERFORM IN THE FUTURE.
THE RETURN FOR THE FUND'S OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS
WILL DIFFER FROM THE CLASS A RETURNS SHOWN IN THE BAR CHART, DEPENDING UPON THE
EXPENSES OF THAT CLASS. THE BAR CHART DOES NOT REFLECT ANY SALES CHARGE THAT YOU
MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY UPON PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION OF THE FUND'S SHARES. ANY
SALES CHARGE WILL REDUCE YOUR RETURN. THE AVERAGE TOTAL RETURN TABLE SHOWS
RETURNS WITH THE MAXIMUM SALES CHARGE DEDUCTED. NO SALES CHARGE HAS BEEN APPLIED
TO THE INDICES USED FOR COMPARISON IN THE TABLE.

CSIF MANAGED INDEX
ADVISOR CALVERT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.
SUBADVISOR STATE STREET GLOBAL ADVISORS
OBJECTIVE
CSIF MANAGED INDEX SEEKS A TOTAL RETURN AFTER EXPENSES WHICH EXCEEDS OVER TIME
THE TOTAL RETURN OF THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX. IT SEEKS TO OBTAIN THIS OBJECTIVE
WHILE MAINTAINING RISK CHARACTERISTICS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE RUSSELL 1000
INDEX AND THROUGH INVESTMENTS IN STOCKS THAT MEET THE FUND'S INVESTMENT AND
SOCIAL CRITERIA. THIS OBJECTIVE MAY BE CHANGED BY THE FUND'S BOARD OF
TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND INVESTS IN STOCKS THAT MEET THE SOCIAL CRITERIA AND CREATES A PORTFOLIO
WHOSE CHARACTERISTICS CLOSELY RESEMBLE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RUSSELL 1000
INDEX, WHILE EMPHASIZING THE STOCKS WHICH IT BELIEVES OFFER THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL OF RETURN.
CSIF MANAGED INDEX FOLLOWS AN ENHANCED INDEX MANAGEMENT STRATEGY. INSTEAD OF
PASSIVELY HOLDING A REPRESENTATIVE BASKET OF SECURITIES DESIGNED TO MATCH THE
RUSSELL 1000 INDEX, THE SUBADVISOR ACTIVELY USES A PROPRIETARY ANALYTICAL MODEL
TO ATTEMPT TO ENHANCE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE, RELATIVE TO THE INDEX. THE FUND
MAY PURCHASE STOCKS NOT IN THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX, BUT AT LEAST 65% OF THE
FUND'S TOTAL ASSETS WILL BE INVESTED IN STOCKS THAT ARE IN THE INDEX. ANY
INVESTMENTS NOT IN THE INDEX WILL MEET THE FUND'S SOCIAL SCREENING CRITERIA AND
BE SELECTED TO CLOSELY MIRROR THE INDEX'S RISK/RETURN CHARACTERISTICS. THE
SUBADVISOR REBALANCES THE FUND QUARTERLY TO MAINTAIN ITS RELATIVE EXPOSURE TO
THE INDEX.
THE FIRST STEP OF THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY IS TO IDENTIFY THOSE STOCKS IN THE
RUSSELL 1000 INDEX WHICH MEET THE FUND'S SOCIAL SCREENING CRITERIA. FROM THIS
LIST OF STOCKS, THE SUBADVISOR CHOOSES STOCKS THAT CLOSELY MIRROR THE INDEX IN
TERMS OF VARIOUS FACTORS SUCH AS INDUSTRY WEIGHTINGS, CAPITALIZATION, AND YIELD.
EVEN THOUGH CERTAIN INDUSTRIES MAY BE ELIMINATED FROM THE FUND BY THE SCREENS,
THE FACTOR MODEL PERMITS MATHEMATICAL SUBSTITUTES WHICH THE SUBADVISOR EXPECTS
TO MIMIC THE RETURN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MISSING INDUSTRIES AND STOCKS.
THE FINAL STEP IN THE PROCESS IS TO APPLY THE SUBADVISOR'S PROPRIETARY VALUATION
METHOD WHICH ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE STOCKS WHICH HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
FOR SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE. EACH SECURITY IDENTIFIED FOR POTENTIAL INVESTMENT IS
RANKED ACCORDING TO TWO SEPARATE MEASURES: VALUE AND MOMENTUM OF MARKET
SENTIMENT. THESE TWO MEASURES COMBINE TO CREATE A SINGLE COMPOSITE SCORE OF
EACH STOCK'S ATTRACTIVENESS. THE FUND IS CONSTRUCTED FROM SECURITIES THAT MEET
ITS SOCIAL CRITERIA, WEIGHTED THROUGH A MATHEMATICAL PROCESS THAT SEEKS TO
REDUCE RISK VIS- -VIS THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX.
<PAGE>
THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE 1,000 LARGEST U.S.
COMPANIES BASED ON TOTAL MARKET CAPITALIZATION. THE INDEX IS ADJUSTED, OR
RECONSTITUTED, ANNUALLY. AS OF THE LATEST RECONSTITUTION, THE AVERAGE MARKET
CAPITALIZATION OF THE RUSSELL 1000 WAS APPROXIMATELY $91.485 BILLION.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
YOU COULD LOSE MONEY ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND, OR THE FUND COULD
UNDERPERFORM THE STOCK MARKET FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- - THE STOCK MARKET OR THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX GOES DOWN
- - THE INDIVIDUAL STOCKS IN THE FUND OR THE INDEX MODELING PORTFOLIO DO NOT
PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED
- - AN INDEX FUND HAS OPERATING EXPENSES; A MARKET INDEX DOES NOT. THE FUND
- - WHILE EXPECTED TO TRACK ITS TARGET INDEX AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE
WHILE SATISFYING ITS OWN INVESTMENT AND SOCIAL CRITERIA - WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO MATCH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX EXACTLY
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED
BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
THE FUND IS NOT SPONSORED, SOLD, PROMOTED OR ENDORSED BY THE FRANK RUSSELL
COMPANY.
TRACKING THE INDEX
THE SUBADVISOR EXPECTS THE ANNUAL TRACKING ERROR, RELATIVE TO THE RETURN OF THE
INDEX BEFORE DEDUCTING EXPENSES, TO BE WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY THE
ADVISOR AND SUBADVISOR. THE FUND'S ABILITY TO TRACK THE INDEX WILL BE MONITORED
BY ANALYZING RETURNS TO ENSURE THAT THE RETURNS ARE REASONABLY CONSISTENT WITH
INDEX RETURNS. ANY DEVIATIONS OF REALIZED RETURNS FROM THE INDEX WHICH ARE IN
EXCESS OF THOSE EXPECTED WILL BE ANALYZED FOR SOURCES OF VARIANCE.
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND INVESTS PRIMARILY IN THE COMMON STOCKS OF LARGE-CAP COMPANIES HAVING,

COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."

ADVISOR CALVERT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.
SUBADVISOR BROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
OBJECTIVE
CAPITAL ACCUMULATION SEEKS TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM CAPITAL APPRECIATION BY
INVESTING PRIMARILY IN MID-CAP STOCKS THAT MEET THE FUND'S INVESTMENT AND SOCIAL
CRITERIA. THIS OBJECTIVE MAY BE CHANGED BY THE FUND'S BOARD OF
TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
INVESTMENTS ARE PRIMARILY IN THE COMMON STOCKS OF MID-SIZE COMPANIES. RETURNS IN
THE FUND WILL BE MOSTLY FROM THE CHANGES IN THE PRICE OF THE FUND'S HOLDINGS
(CAPITAL APPRECIATION.)
THE FUND CURRENTLY DEFINES MID-CAP COMPANIES AS THOSE WITHIN THE RANGE OF MARKET
CAPITALIZATIONS OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S MID-CAP 400 INDEX. MOST COMPANIES IN
THE INDEX HAVE A CAPITALIZATION OF $500 MILLION TO $10 BILLION. STOCKS CHOSEN
FOR THE FUND COMBINE GROWTH AND VALUE CHARACTERISTICS OR OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BUY GROWTH AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
THE SUBADVISOR FAVORS COMPANIES WHICH HAVE AN ABOVE MARKET AVERAGE PROSPECTIVE
GROWTH RATE, BUT SELL AT BELOW MARKET AVERAGE VALUATIONS. THE SUBADVISOR
EVALUATES EACH STOCK IN TERMS OF ITS GROWTH POTENTIAL, THE RETURN FOR RISK FREE
INVESTMENTS AND THE RISK AND REWARD POTENTIAL FOR THE COMPANY TO DETERMINE A
REASONABLE PRICE FOR THE STOCK.
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE

RATHER THAN LARGER, MORE ESTABLISHED COMPANIES.
- - THE FUND IS NON-DIVERSIFIED. COMPARED TO OTHER FUNDS, THE FUND MAY INVEST
MORE OF ITS ASSETS IN A SMALLER NUMBER OF COMPANIES. GAINS OR LOSSES ON A SINGLE
STOCK MAY HAVE GREATER IMPACT ON THE FUND.

SUBADVISOR MURRAY JOHNSTONE INTERNATIONAL, LTD.
OBJECTIVE
CWVF INTERNATIONAL EQUITY SEEKS TO PROVIDE A HIGH TOTAL RETURN CONSISTENT WITH
REASONABLE RISK BY INVESTING PRIMARILY IN A GLOBALLY DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO OF
STOCKS THAT MEET THE FUND'S INVESTMENT AND SOCIAL CRITERIA.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND INVESTS PRIMARILY IN THE COMMON STOCKS OF MID- TO LARGE-CAP COMPANIES
USING A VALUE APPROACH. THE FUND IDENTIFIES THOSE COUNTRIES WITH MARKETS AND
ECONOMIES THAT IT BELIEVES CURRENTLY PROVIDE THE MOST FAVORABLE CLIMATE FOR
INVESTING. THE SUBADVISOR SELECTS COUNTRIES BASED ON A "20 QUESTIONS" MODEL
WHICH USES MACRO- AND MICRO-ECONOMIC INPUTS TO RANK THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF
MARKETS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES. WITHIN EACH COUNTRY, THE SUBADVISOR USES
VALUATION TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BEST DETERMINE VALUE WITHIN THAT
MARKET. IN SOME COUNTRIES, THE VALUATION PROCESS MAY FAVOR THE COMPARISON OF
PRICE-TO-CASH-FLOW WHILE IN OTHER COUNTRIES, PRICE-TO-SALES OR PRICE-TO-BOOK MAY
BE MORE USEFUL IN DETERMINING WHICH STOCKS ARE UNDERVALUED.
THE FUND INVESTS PRIMARILY IN MORE DEVELOPED ECONOMIES AND MARKETS. NO MORE THAN
5% OF FUND ASSETS ARE INVESTED IN THE U.S. (EXCLUDING HIGH SOCIAL IMPACT AND
SPECIAL EQUITIES INVESTMENTS).
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."
PRINCIPAL RISKS
YOU COULD LOSE MONEY ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND, OR THE FUND COULD
UNDERPERFORM FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- - THE STOCK MARKETS GO DOWN (INCLUDING MARKETS OUTSIDE THE U.S.)
- - THE INDIVIDUAL STOCKS IN THE FUND DO NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED
- - FOREIGN CURRENCY VALUES GO DOWN VERSUS THE U.S. DOLLAR
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED

CSIF BOND
ADVISOR CALVERT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.
OBJECTIVE
CSIF BOND SEEKS TO PROVIDE AS HIGH A LEVEL OF CURRENT INCOME AS IS CONSISTENT
WITH PRUDENT INVESTMENT RISK AND PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL THROUGH INVESTMENT IN
BONDS AND OTHER STRAIGHT DEBT SECURITIES MEETING THE FUND'S INVESTMENT AND
SOCIAL CRITERIA.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND USES AN ACTIVE STRATEGY, SEEKING RELATIVE VALUE TO EARN INCREMENTAL
INCOME. THE FUND TYPICALLY INVESTS AT LEAST 65% OF ITS ASSETS IN INVESTMENT
GRADE DEBT SECURITIES.
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."
PRINCIPAL RISKS
YOU COULD LOSE MONEY ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND, OR THE FUND COULD
UNDERPERFORM, FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- - THE BOND MARKET GOES DOWN
- - THE INDIVIDUAL BONDS IN THE FUND DO NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED
- - THE ADVISOR'S FORECAST AS TO INTEREST RATES IS NOT CORRECT
- - THE ADVISOR'S ALLOCATION AMONG DIFFERENT SECTORS OF THE BOND MARKET DOES
NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED
- - THE FUND IS NON-DIVERSIFIED. COMPARED TO OTHER FUNDS, THE FUND MAY INVEST
MORE OF ITS ASSETS IN A SMALLER NUMBER OF COMPANIES. GAINS OR LOSSES ON A SINGLE
BOND MAY HAVE GREATER IMPACT ON THE FUND.
THE FUND'S ACTIVE TRADING STRATEGY MAY CAUSE THE FUND TO HAVE A RELATIVELY HIGH
AMOUNT OF SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAINS, WHICH ARE TAXABLE TO YOU AT THE ORDINARY
INCOME TAX RATE.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED
BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
<PAGE>
CSIF BOND PERFORMANCE
THE BAR CHART AND TABLE BELOW SHOW THE FUND'S ANNUAL RETURNS AND ITS LONG-TERM
PERFORMANCE. THE CHART AND TABLE PROVIDE SOME INDICATION OF THE RISKS OF
INVESTING IN THE FUND. THE CHART SHOWS HOW THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS A SHARES
HAS VARIED FROM YEAR TO YEAR. THE TABLE COMPARES THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE OVER
TIME TO THAT OF THE LEHMAN AGGREGATE BOND INDEX. THIS IS A WIDELY RECOGNIZED,
UNMANAGED INDEX OF BOND PRICES. IT ALSO SHOWS THE FUND'S RETURNS COMPARED TO THE
LIPPER A RATED BOND FUND INDEX, A COMPOSITE INDEX OF THE ANNUAL RETURN OF MUTUAL
FUNDS THAT HAVE AN INVESTMENT GOAL SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE FUND. THE FUND'S PAST
PERFORMANCE DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE HOW THE FUND WILL PERFORM IN THE
FUTURE.
THE RETURN FOR THE FUND'S OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS
WILL DIFFER FROM THE CLASS A RETURNS SHOWN IN THE BAR CHART, DEPENDING UPON THE
EXPENSES OF THAT CLASS. THE BAR CHART DOES NOT REFLECT ANY SALES CHARGE THAT YOU
MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY UPON PURCHASE OR REDEMPTION OF THE FUND'S SHARES. ANY
SALES CHARGE WILL REDUCE YOUR RETURN. THE AVERAGE TOTAL RETURN TABLE SHOWS
RETURNS WITH THE MAXIMUM SALES CHARGE DEDUCTED. NO SALES CHARGE HAS BEEN APPLIED
TO THE INDICES USED FOR COMPARISON IN THE TABLE.

CSIF MONEY MARKET
ADVISOR CALVERT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.
OBJECTIVE
CSIF MONEY MARKET SEEKS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CURRENT INCOME,
CONSISTENT WITH LIQUIDITY, SAFETY AND SECURITY OF CAPITAL, THROUGH INVESTMENT IN
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS MEETING THE FUND'S INVESTMENT AND SOCIAL CRITERIA.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THE FUND INVESTS IN HIGH QUALITY, MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS, SUCH AS COMMERCIAL
PAPER, VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES, CORPORATE, AGENCY AND TAXABLE MUNICIPAL
OBLIGATIONS. ALL INVESTMENTS MUST COMPLY WITH THE SEC MONEY MARKET FUND
REQUIREMENTS.
THE FUND INVESTS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO INVESTORS WILL
COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND METHODS ENHANCE THE
HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL
SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA. SEE "INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS."
PRINCIPAL RISKS
THE FUND'S YIELD WILL CHANGE IN RESPONSE TO MARKET INTEREST RATES. IN GENERAL,
AS MARKET RATES GO UP SO WILL THE FUND'S YIELD, AND VICE VERSA. ALTHOUGH THE
FUND TRIES TO KEEP THE VALUE OF ITS SHARES CONSTANT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, EXTREME
CHANGES IN MARKET RATES, AND OR SUDDEN CREDIT DETERIORATION OF A HOLDING COULD
CAUSE THE VALUE TO DECREASE. THE FUND LIMITS THE AMOUNT IT INVESTS IN ANY ONE
ISSUER TO TRY TO LESSEN ITS EXPOSURE.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED
BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER
SHARE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE FUND.

THE FUNDS HAVE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE NOT
PRINCIPAL TO THEIR INVESTMENT STRATEGIES (FOR EXAMPLE, REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS,
BORROWING, PLEDGING, AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, SECURITIES LENDING,
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES AND SHORT SALES.) THESE POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS ARE
DISCUSSED IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ("SAI").
TYPES OF INVESTMENT RISK
CORRELATION RISK
THIS OCCURS WHEN A FUND "HEDGES"- USES ONE INVESTMENT TO OFFSET THE FUND'S
POSITION IN ANOTHER. IF THE TWO INVESTMENTS DO NOT BEHAVE IN RELATION TO ONE
ANOTHER THE WAY FUND MANAGERS EXPECT THEM TO, THEN UNEXPECTED OR UNDESIRED
RESULTS MAY OCCUR. FOR EXAMPLE, A HEDGE MAY ELIMINATE OR REDUCE GAINS AS WELL AS
OFFSET LOSSES.
CREDIT RISK
THE RISK THAT THE ISSUER OF A SECURITY OR THE COUNTERPARTY TO AN INVESTMENT
CONTRACT MAY DEFAULT OR BECOME UNABLE TO PAY ITS OBLIGATIONS WHEN DUE.
CURRENCY RISK
CURRENCY RISK OCCURS WHEN A FUND BUYS, SELLS OR HOLDS A SECURITY DENOMINATED IN
FOREIGN CURRENCY. FOREIGN CURRENCIES "FLOAT" IN VALUE AGAINST THE U.S. DOLLAR.
ADVERSE CHANGES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY VALUES CAN CAUSE INVESTMENT LOSSES WHEN A
FUND'S INVESTMENTS ARE CONVERTED TO U.S. DOLLARS.
EXTENSION RISK
THE RISK THAT AN UNEXPECTED RISE IN INTEREST RATES WILL EXTEND THE LIFE OF A
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITY BEYOND THE EXPECTED PREPAYMENT TIME, TYPICALLY REDUCING
THE SECURITY'S VALUE.
INFORMATION RISK
THE RISK THAT INFORMATION ABOUT A SECURITY OR ISSUER OR THE MARKET MIGHT NOT BE
AVAILABLE, COMPLETE, ACCURATE OR COMPARABLE.
INTEREST RATE RISK
THE RISK THAT CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF AN
INVESTOR'S SECURITIES. WHEN INTEREST RATES RISE, THE VALUE OF FIXED-INCOME
SECURITIES WILL GENERALLY FALL. CONVERSELY, A DROP IN INTEREST RATES WILL
GENERALLY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES. LONGER-TERM
SECURITIES AND ZERO COUPON/"STRIPPED" COUPON SECURITIES ("STRIPS") ARE SUBJECT
TO GREATER INTEREST RATE RISK.
<PAGE>
LEVERAGE RISK
THE RISK THAT OCCURS IN SOME SECURITIES OR TECHNIQUES WHICH TEND TO MAGNIFY THE
EFFECT OF SMALL CHANGES IN AN INDEX OR A MARKET. THIS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS THAT
EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY INVESTED.
LIQUIDITY RISK
THE RISK THAT OCCURS WHEN INVESTMENTS CANNOT BE READILY SOLD. A FUND MAY HAVE TO
ACCEPT A LESS-THAN-DESIRABLE PRICE TO COMPLETE THE SALE OF AN ILLIQUID SECURITY
OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT AT ALL.
MANAGEMENT RISK
THE RISK THAT A FUND'S PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PRACTICES MIGHT NOT WORK TO ACHIEVE
THEIR DESIRED RESULT.
MARKET RISK
THE RISK THAT SECURITIES PRICES IN A MARKET, A SECTOR OR AN INDUSTRY WILL
FLUCTUATE, AND THAT SUCH MOVEMENTS MIGHT REDUCE AN INVESTMENT'S VALUE.
OPPORTUNITY RISK
THE RISK OF MISSING OUT ON AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THE ASSETS NEEDED
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT ARE COMMITTED TO LESS ADVANTAGEOUS INVESTMENTS OR
STRATEGIES.
POLITICAL RISK
THE RISK THAT MAY OCCUR WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS, AND MEANS THAT THE VALUE OF AN
INVESTMENT MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY NATIONALIZATION, TAXATION, WAR,
GOVERNMENT INSTABILITY OR OTHER ECONOMIC OR POLITICAL ACTIONS OR FACTORS.
PREPAYMENT RISK
THE RISK THAT UNANTICIPATED PREPAYMENTS MAY OCCUR, REDUCING THE VALUE OF A
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITY. THE FUND MUST THEN REINVEST THOSE ASSETS AT THE
CURRENT, MARKET RATE WHICH MAY BE LOWER.
TRANSACTION RISK
THE RISK THAT A FUND MAY BE DELAYED OR UNABLE TO SETTLE A TRANSACTION OR THAT
COMMISSIONS AND SETTLEMENT EXPENSES MAY BE HIGHER THAN USUAL.
INVESTMENT SELECTION PROCESS
INVESTMENTS ARE SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DUAL
OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS AND SOCIAL CRITERIA.
POTENTIAL INVESTMENTS FOR A FUND ARE FIRST SELECTED FOR FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS AND
THEN EVALUATED ACCORDING TO THAT FUND'S SOCIAL CRITERIA. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
POSSIBLE, CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FUND (CSIF) AND CALVERT WORLD VALUES
<PAGE>
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND (CWVF) SEEK TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT EXHIBIT
POSITIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE OF THE SOCIAL CRITERIA.
INVESTMENTS FOR ALL FUNDS MUST MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR ALL ITS FINANCIAL
AND SOCIAL CRITERIA.
ALTHOUGH EACH FUND'S SOCIAL CRITERIA TEND TO LIMIT THE AVAILABILITY OF
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES MORE THAN IS CUSTOMARY WITH OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES,
CAMCO AND THE SUBADVISORS OF THE FUNDS BELIEVE THERE ARE SUFFICIENT INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES TO PERMIT FULL INVESTMENT AMONG ISSUERS WHICH SATISFY EACH FUND'S
INVESTMENT AND SOCIAL OBJECTIVES.
THE SELECTION OF AN INVESTMENT BY A FUND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ENDORSEMENT OR
VALIDATION BY THAT FUND, NOR DOES THE EXCLUSION OF AN INVESTMENT NECESSARILY
REFLECT FAILURE TO SATISFY THE FUND'S SOCIAL CRITERIA. INVESTORS ARE INVITED TO
SEND A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPANIES THEY BELIEVE MIGHT BE SUITABLE FOR
INVESTMENT.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT CRITERIA
THE FUNDS INVEST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT LONG-TERM REWARDS TO
INVESTORS WILL COME FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND
METHODS ENHANCE THE HUMAN CONDITION AND THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES OF
INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE, EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT. IN
ADDITION, WE BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE LONG-TERM BENEFITS IN AN INVESTMENT
PHILOSOPHY THAT DEMONSTRATES CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LABOR RELATIONS, HUMAN
RIGHTS AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS. THOSE ENTERPRISES THAT EXHIBIT A SOCIAL
AWARENESS IN THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE BETTER PREPARED TO MEET FUTURE SOCIETAL
NEEDS. BY RESPONDING TO SOCIAL CONCERNS, THESE ENTERPRISES SHOULD NOT ONLY
AVOID THE LIABILITY THAT MAY BE INCURRED WHEN A PRODUCT OR SERVICE IS DETERMINED
TO HAVE A NEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACT OR HAS OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS, BUT ALSO BE
BETTER POSITIONED TO DEVELOP OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE A PROFITABLE CONTRIBUTION TO
SOCIETY. THESE ENTERPRISES SHOULD BE READY TO RESPOND TO EXTERNAL DEMANDS AND
ENSURE THAT OVER THE LONGER TERM THEY WILL BE VIABLE TO SEEK TO PROVIDE A
POSITIVE RETURN TO BOTH INVESTORS AND SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.
EACH FUND HAS DEVELOPED SOCIAL INVESTMENT CRITERIA, DETAILED BELOW. THESE
CRITERIA REPRESENT STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR WHICH FEW, IF ANY, ORGANIZATIONS
TOTALLY SATISFY. AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE, EVALUATION OF A PARTICULAR
ORGANIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE CRITERIA WILL INVOLVE SUBJECTIVE JUDGMENT
BY CAMCO AND THE SUBADVISORS. ALL SOCIAL CRITERIA MAY BE CHANGED BY THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
<PAGE>
CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FUND
CSIF SEEKS TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT:
- - DELIVER SAFE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN WAYS THAT SUSTAIN OUR NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, CSIF LOOKS FOR COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE ENERGY FROM
RENEWABLE RESOURCES, WHILE AVOIDING CONSISTENT POLLUTERS.
- - MANAGE WITH PARTICIPATION THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION IN DEFINING AND
ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, CSIF LOOKS FOR COMPANIES THAT OFFER EMPLOYEE
STOCK OWNERSHIP OR PROFIT-SHARING PLANS.
- - NEGOTIATE FAIRLY WITH THEIR WORKERS, PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF
THEIR WELLNESS, DO NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE, GENDER, RELIGION, AGE,
DISABILITY, ETHNIC ORIGIN, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DO NOT CONSISTENTLY VIOLATE
REGULATIONS OF THE EEOC, AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN, DISADVANTAGED
MINORITIES, AND OTHERS FOR WHOM EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES HAVE OFTEN BEEN DENIED. FOR
EXAMPLE, CSIF CONSIDERS BOTH UNIONIZED AND NON-UNION FIRMS WITH GOOD LABOR
RELATIONS.
- - FOSTER AWARENESS OF A COMMITMENT TO HUMAN GOALS, SUCH AS CREATIVITY,
PRODUCTIVITY, SELF-RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY, WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION AND THE
WORLD, AND CONTINUALLY RECREATES A CONTEXT WITHIN WHICH THESE GOALS CAN BE
REALIZED. FOR EXAMPLE, CSIF LOOKS FOR COMPANIES WITH AN ABOVE AVERAGE
COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND CHARITABLE GIVING.
CSIF WILL NOT INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT THE ADVISOR DETERMINES TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY ENGAGED IN:
- - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF REPRESSIVE REGIMES
- - PRODUCTION, OR THE MANUFACTURE OF EQUIPMENT, TO PRODUCE NUCLEAR ENERGY
- - MANUFACTURE OF WEAPON SYSTEMS
- - MANUFACTURE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS
- - OPERATION OF GAMBLING CASINOS
- - A PATTERN AND PRACTICE OF VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. WE
URGE COMPANIES TO END NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES OF NATIVE AMERICANS AND OTHER
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. FOR EXAMPLE, CSIF OBJECTS TO THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF NAMES
AND IMAGES THAT PORTRAY NATIVE AMERICANS IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT, AND
SUPPORTS THE PROMOTION OF POSITIVE PORTRAYALS OF ALL INDIVIDUALS AND ETHNIC
GROUPS.
WITH RESPECT TO U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES, CSIF INVESTS PRIMARILY IN DEBT
OBLIGATIONS ISSUED OR GUARANTEED BY AGENCIES OR INSTRUMENTALITIES OF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT WHOSE PURPOSES FURTHER OR ARE COMPATIBLE WITH CSIF'S SOCIAL CRITERIA,
SUCH AS OBLIGATIONS OF THE STUDENT LOAN MARKETING ASSOCIATION, RATHER THAN
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, SUCH AS TREASURY SECURITIES.
<PAGE>
CALVERT WORLD VALUES INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
THE SPIRIT OF CALVERT WORLD VALUES INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND'S SOCIAL CRITERIA
IS SIMILAR TO CSIF, BUT THE APPLICATION OF THE SOCIAL ANALYSIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY
DIFFERENT. INTERNATIONAL INVESTING BRINGS UNIQUE CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF
CORPORATE DISCLOSURE, REGULATORY STRUCTURES, ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS, AND
DIFFERING NATIONAL AND CULTURAL PRIORITIES. DUE TO THESE FACTORS, THE CWVF
SOCIAL INVESTMENT STANDARDS ARE LESS STRINGENT THAN THOSE OF CSIF.
CWVF SEEKS TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT:
- - ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT. WE SELECT INVESTMENTS
THAT TAKE POSITIVE STEPS TOWARD PRESERVING AND ENHANCING OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
THROUGH THEIR OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTS. WE AVOID COMPANIES WITH POOR
ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS.
- - HAVE POSITIVE LABOR PRACTICES. WE CONSIDER THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR
ORGANIZATION'S BASIC CONVENTIONS ON WORKER RIGHTS AS A GUIDELINE FOR OUR LABOR
CRITERIA. WE SEEK TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT HIRE AND PROMOTE WOMEN AND ETHNIC
MINORITIES; RESPECT THE RIGHT TO FORM UNIONS; COMPLY, AT A MINIMUM, WITH
DOMESTIC HOUR AND WAGE LAWS; AND PROVIDE GOOD HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS. WE
AVOID COMPANIES THAT DEMONSTRATE A PATTERN OF ENGAGING IN FORCED, COMPULSORY, OR
CHILD LABOR.
CWVF AVOIDS INVESTING IN COMPANIES THAT:
- - CONTRIBUTE TO HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN OTHER COUNTRIES1
- - PRODUCE NUCLEAR POWER OR NUCLEAR WEAPONS, OR HAVE MORE THAN 10% OF REVENUES
DERIVED FROM THE PRODUCTION OR SALE OF WEAPONS SYSTEMS
- - DERIVE MORE THAN 10% OF REVENUES FROM THE PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO
PRODUCTS, BUT ACTIVELY SEEKS TO INVEST IN COMPANIES WHOSE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF OR ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH AND
PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE
1 CWVF MAY INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT OPERATE IN COUNTRIES WITH POOR HUMAN
RIGHTS RECORDS IF WE BELIEVE THE COMPANIES ARE MAKING A POSITIVE
CONTRIBUTION.

- - PRODUCTS OR OFFER SERVICES THAT, UNDER PROPER USE, ARE CONSIDERED HARMFUL
CAPITAL ACCUMULATION WILL AVOID COMPANIES THAT THE ADVISOR DETERMINES TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY ENGAGED IN:
- - A PATTERN AND PRACTICE OF VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. WE
URGE COMPANIES TO END NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES OF NATIVE AMERICANS AND OTHER
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. FOR EXAMPLE, CAPITAL ACCUMULATION OBJECTS TO THE
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF NAMES AND IMAGES THAT PORTRAY NATIVE AMERICANS IN A NEGATIVE
LIGHT, AND SUPPORTS THE PROMOTION OF POSITIVE PORTRAYALS OF ALL INDIVIDUALS AND
ETHNIC GROUPS.
THE ADVISOR WILL SEEK TO REVIEW COMPANIES' OVERSEAS OPERATIONS CONSISTENT WITH
THE SOCIAL CRITERIA STATED ABOVE.
WHILE CAPITAL ACCUMULATION AND NEW VISION MAY INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT EXHIBIT
POSITIVE SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS, THEY MAKE NO EXPLICIT CLAIMS TO SEEK OUT
COMPANIES WITH SUCH PRACTICES.

HIGH SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENTS
CSIF BALANCED, BOND AND EQUITY, CALVERT WORLD VALUES INTERNATIONAL
EQUITY, CAPITAL ACCUMULATION AND NEW VISION SMALL CAP
HIGH SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENTS IS A PROGRAM THAT TARGETS A PERCENTAGE OF THE
FUND'S ASSETS (UP TO 1% FOR EACH OF CSIF BALANCED, CSIF EQUITY AND CSIF BOND AND
NEW VISION AND UP TO 3% FOR EACH OF CWVF INTERNATIONAL EQUITY AND CAPITAL
ACCUMULATION) TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROMOTING BUSINESS CREATION, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, AND
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. THESE TYPES OF
INVESTMENTS OFFER A RATE OF RETURN BELOW THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET RATE, AND
ARE CONSIDERED ILLIQUID, UNRATED AND BELOW-INVESTMENT GRADE. THEY ALSO INVOLVE A
GREATER RISK OF DEFAULT OR PRICE DECLINE THAN INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES.
HOWEVER, THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL RETURN BY MAKING A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE
IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. HIGH SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENTS ARE VALUED UNDER THE
DIRECTION AND CONTROL OF THE FUNDS' BOARDS. THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY THE
CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FOUNDATION, WHICH MAY RECEIVE A FEE FROM THE FUNDS.
THE FUNDS HAVE RECEIVED AN EXEMPTIVE ORDER TO PERMIT THEM TO INVEST THOSE ASSETS
ALLOCATED FOR INVESTMENT IN HIGH SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENTS THROUGH THE PURCHASE
OF COMMUNITY INVESTMENT NOTES FROM THE CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FOUNDATION. THE
CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FOUNDATION IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, LEGALLY
DISTINCT FROM CALVERT GROUP, ORGANIZED AS A CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE
CONCEPT OF SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING. IT HAS INSTITUTED THE CALVERT
COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS PROGRAM TO RAISE ASSETS FROM INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL
INVESTORS AND THEN INVEST THESE ASSETS DIRECTLY IN NON-PROFIT OR NOT-FOR-PROFIT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BANKS THAT FOCUS
ON LOW INCOME HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN URBAN
AND RURAL COMMUNITIES.
SPECIAL EQUITIES
CSIF BALANCED AND CALVERT WORLD VALUES INTERNATIONAL EQUITY
CSIF BALANCED AND CWVF INTERNATIONAL EQUITY EACH HAVE A SPECIAL EQUITIES
INVESTMENT PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS THE FUND TO PROMOTE ESPECIALLY PROMISING
APPROACHES TO SOCIAL GOALS THROUGH PRIVATELY PLACED INVESTMENTS. THE INVESTMENTS
ARE GENERALLY VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN SMALL, UNTRIED ENTERPRISES. THE
SPECIAL EQUITIES COMMITTEE OF EACH FUND IDENTIFIES, EVALUATES, AND SELECTS THE
SPECIAL EQUITIES INVESTMENTS. SPECIAL EQUITIES INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK--
THEY ARE SUBJECT TO LIQUIDITY, INFORMATION, AND IF A DEBT INVESTMENT, CREDIT
RISK. SPECIAL EQUITIES ARE VALUED UNDER THE DIRECTION AND CONTROL OF THE FUNDS'
BOARDS.

A WORD ABOUT THE YEAR 2000 (Y2K) AND OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS
LIKE WITH OTHER MUTUAL FUNDS, CAMCO AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS USE COMPUTER
SYSTEMS FOR ALL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS-PROCESSING SHAREHOLDER AND FUND
TRANSACTIONS, FUND ACCOUNTING, EXECUTING TRADES, AND PRICING SECURITIES JUST TO
NAME A FEW. THE CONCERN HAS BEEN THAT MANY SOFTWARE PROGRAMS CANNOT DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN THE YEAR 2000 AND THE YEAR 1900. THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH
RETIREMENT PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDEND PAYMENT SOFTWARE, TRANSACTION SOFTWARE,
AND NUMEROUS OTHER AREAS THAT IMPACT THE FUND. LEADING UP TO THIS YEAR, CALVERT
GROUP HAS BEEN REVIEWING ALL OF ITS COMPUTER SYSTEMS FOR Y2K COMPLIANCE.
ALTHOUGH, THUS FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS CAUSED BY Y2K THAT COULD IMPACT
THE FUND, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE IMPACT. THE
ADVISOR, THE UNDERWRITER, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN HAVE ADVISED THE FUND
THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ACTIVELY WORK ON ANY NECESSARY CHANGES TO THEIR
COMPUTER SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND
EXPECT THAT THEIR SYSTEMS, AND THOSE OF THEIR OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS, WILL BE
ADAPTED ACCORDINGLY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT

HOW TO BUY SHARES
GETTING STARTED - BEFORE YOU OPEN AN ACCOUNT
YOU HAVE A FEW DECISIONS TO MAKE BEFORE YOU OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN A MUTUAL FUND.
FIRST, DECIDE WHICH FUND OR FUNDS BEST SUITS YOUR NEEDS AND YOUR GOALS.
SECOND, DECIDE WHAT KIND OF ACCOUNT YOU WANT TO OPEN. CALVERT OFFERS
INDIVIDUAL, JOINT, TRUST, UNIFORM GIFTS/TRANSFERS TO MINOR ACCOUNTS,
TRADITIONAL, EDUCATION AND ROTH IRAS, QUALIFIED PROFIT-SHARING AND MONEY
PURCHASE PLANS, SIMPLE IRAS, SEP-IRAS, 403(B)(7) ACCOUNTS, AND SEVERAL OTHER
TYPES OF ACCOUNTS. MINIMUM INVESTMENTS ARE LOWER FOR THE RETIREMENT PLANS.
THEN DECIDE WHICH CLASS OF SHARES IS BEST FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS
DECISION CAREFULLY, BASED ON:
- - THE AMOUNT YOU WISH TO INVEST;
- - THE LENGTH OF TIME YOU PLAN TO KEEP THE INVESTMENT; AND
- - THE CLASS EXPENSES.
CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS
CSIF MONEY MARKET OFFERS ONLY ONE CLASS OF SHARES (CLASS O), WHICH IS SOLD
WITHOUT A SALES CHARGE. THE OTHER FUNDS IN THIS PROSPECTUS OFFER THREE DIFFERENT
CLASSES (CLASS A, B, OR C). THIS CHART SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE CLASSES AND
THE GENERAL TYPES OF INVESTORS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN EACH CLASS:
CLASS A: FRONT-END SALES CHARGE
F OR ALL INVESTORS, PARTICULARLY THOSE INVESTING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT WHO PLAN
TO HOLD THE SHARES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
SALES CHARGE ON EACH PURCHASE OF 4.75% OR LESS (3.75% OR LESS FOR CSIF BOND),
DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT YOU INVEST.
CLASS B: DEFERRED SALES CHARGE FOR 6 YEARS (4 YEARS FOR CSIF BOND)
FOR INVESTORS WHO PLAN TO HOLD THE SHARES AT LEAST 6 YEARS (4 FOR CSIF BOND).
THE EXPENSES OF THIS CLASS ARE HIGHER THAN CLASS A, BECAUSE OF THE 12B-1 FEE.
NO SALES CHARGE ON EACH PURCHASE, BUT IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES WITHIN 6 YEARS,
YOU WILL PAY A DEFERRED SALES CHARGE OF 5% OR LESS ON SHARES YOU SELL (4% OR
LESS ON SHARES OF CSIF BOND YOU SELL WITHIN 4 YEARS OF PURCHASE).
CLASS C: DEFERRED SALES CHARGE FOR 1 YEAR
FOR INVESTORS WHO ARE INVESTING FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR, BUT LESS THAN SIX YEARS.
THE EXPENSES OF THIS CLASS ARE HIGHER THAN CLASS A, BECAUSE OF THE 12B-1 FEE.
NO SALES CHARGE ON EACH PURCHASE, BUT IF YOU SELL SHARES WITHIN 1 YEAR, THEN YOU
WILL PAY A DEFERRED SALES
CHARGE OF 1% AT THAT TIME.
<PAGE>
CLASS A: FRONT-END SALES CHARGE
CLASS A SHARES HAVE ANNUAL 12B-1 FEE OF UP TO 0.35%.
CLASS A SHARES HAVE LOWER ANNUAL EXPENSES DUE TO A LOWER 12B-1 FEE.
PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES AT NAV FOR ACCOUNTS WITH $1,000,000 OR MORE WILL BE
SUBJECT TO A 1.0% DEFERRED SALES CHARGE FOR 1 YEAR.
CLASS B: DEFERRED SALES CHARGE FOR 6 YEARS (4 YEARS FOR CSIF BOND)
CLASS B SHARES HAVE AN ANNUAL 12B-1 FEE OF 1.00%.
YOUR SHARES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT TO CLASS A SHARES AFTER 8 YEARS (6 YEARS
FOR CSIF BOND), REDUCING YOUR FUTURE ANNUAL EXPENSES.
IF YOU ARE INVESTING MORE THAN $250,000, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER INVESTING IN CLASS
A OR C.
CLASS C: DEFERRED SALES CHARGE FOR 1 YEAR
CLASS C SHARES HAVE AN ANNUAL 12B-1 FEE OF 1.00%.
CLASS C SHARES HAVE HIGHER ANNUAL EXPENSES THAN CLASS A AND THERE IS NO
AUTOMATIC CONVERSION TO CLASS A.
IF YOU ARE INVESTING MORE THAN $1,000,000, YOU SHOULD INVEST IN CLASS A.
CLASS A
IF YOU CHOOSE CLASS A, YOU WILL PAY A SALES CHARGE AT THE TIME OF EACH PURCHASE.
THIS TABLE SHOWS THE CHARGES BOTH AS A PERCENTAGE OF OFFERING PRICE AND AS A
PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT YOU INVEST. THE TERM "OFFERING PRICE" INCLUDES THE
FRONT-END SALES CHARGE. IF YOU INVEST MORE, THE SALES CHARGE WILL BE LOWER. FOR
EXAMPLE, IF YOU INVEST MORE THAN $50,000, OR IF YOUR CUMULATIVE PURCHASES OR THE
VALUE IN YOUR ACCOUNT IS MORE THAN $50,000,4 THEN THE SALES CHARGE IS REDUCED TO
3.75%.

4 THIS IS CALLED "RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION." THE SALES CHARGE IS CALCULATED BY
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE NEW PURCHASE OF SHARES,
BUT ALSO THE HIGHER OF COST OR CURRENT VALUE OF SHARES YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY
PURCHASED IN CALVERT GROUP FUNDS THAT IMPOSE SALES CHARGES. THIS AUTOMATICALLY
APPLIES TO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR EACH NEW PURCHASE OF CLASS A SHARES.
5 PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES AT NAV FOR ACCOUNTS WITH $1,000,000 OR MORE
ARE SUBJECT TO A ONE YEAR CDSC OF 1.00%. SEE THE "CALCULATION OF CONTINGENT
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE AND WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES."
<PAGE>
THE CLASS A FRONT-END SALES CHARGE MAY BE WAIVED FOR CERTAIN PURCHASES OR
INVESTORS, SUCH AS PARTICIPANTS IN CERTAIN GROUP RETIREMENT PLANS OR OTHER
QUALIFIED GROUPS AND CLIENTS OF REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISERS. FOR DETAILS ON
THESE AND OTHER PURCHASES THAT MAY QUALIFY FOR A REDUCED SALES CHARGE, SEE
EXHIBIT A.
CLASS B
IF YOU CHOOSE CLASS B, THERE IS NO FRONT-END SALES CHARGE LIKE CLASS A, BUT IF
YOU SELL THE SHARES WITHIN THE FIRST 6 YEARS (OR 4 YEARS FOR CSIF BOND), YOU
WILL HAVE TO PAY A "CONTINGENT DEFERRED" SALES CHARGE ("CDSC"). THIS MEANS THAT
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE SALES CHARGE UNLESS YOU SELL YOUR SHARES WITHIN THE
FIRST 6 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE (OR 4 YEARS FOR CSIF BOND). KEEP IN MIND THAT THE
LONGER YOU HOLD THE SHARES, THE LESS YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY IN DEFERRED SALES
CHARGES.

CALCULATION OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
AND WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES
THE CDSC WILL NOT BE CHARGED ON SHARES YOU RECEIVED AS DIVIDENDS OR FROM CAPITAL
GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS OR ON ANY CAPITAL APPRECIATION (GAIN IN THE VALUE) OF SHARES
THAT ARE SOLD.
SHARES THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CDSC WILL BE REDEEMED FIRST, FOLLOWED BY
SHARES YOU HAVE HELD THE LONGEST. THE CDSC IS CALCULATED BY DETERMINING THE
SHARE VALUE AT BOTH THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION AND THEN MULTIPLYING
WHICHEVER VALUE IS LESS BY THE PERCENTAGE THAT APPLIES AS SHOWN ABOVE. FOR
EXAMPLE, IF YOU INVESTED $5,000 IN CSIF EQUITY CLASS B SHARES THREE YEARS AGO,
AND IT IS NOW WORTH $5,750, THE CDSC WILL BE CALCULATED BY TAKING THE LESSER OF
THE TWO VALUES ($5,000), AND MULTIPLYING IT BY 4%, FOR A CDSC OF $200. IF YOU
CHOOSE TO SELL ONLY PART OF YOUR SHARES, THE CAPITAL APPRECIATION FOR THOSE
SHARES ONLY IS INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION, RATHER THAN THE CAPITAL APPRECIATION
FOR THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT.
<PAGE>
THE CDSC ON CLASS B SHARES WILL BE WAIVED IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:
- - REDEMPTION UPON THE DEATH OR DISABILITY OF THE SHAREHOLDER, PLAN
PARTICIPANT, OR BENEFICIARY.6
- - MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM RETIREMENT PLAN ACCOUNTS FOR
SHAREHOLDERS 701/2 AND OLDER.7
- - THE RETURN OF AN EXCESS CONTRIBUTION OR DEFERRAL AMOUNTS, PURSUANT TO
SECTIONS 408(D)(4) OR (5), 401(K)(8), 402(G)(2), OR 401(M)(6) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE.
- - INVOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS OF ACCOUNTS UNDER PROCEDURES SET FORTH BY THE
FUND'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS.
- - A SINGLE ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL UNDER A SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN OF UP TO 10%
PER YEAR OF THE SHAREHOLDER'S ACCOUNT BALANCE.8
CLASS C
IF YOU CHOOSE CLASS C, THERE IS NO FRONT-END SALES CHARGE LIKE CLASS A, BUT IF
YOU SELL THE SHARES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY A 1% CDSC. CLASS
C MAY BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR YOU IF YOU PLAN TO BUY SHARES AND HOLD THEM FOR AT
LEAST 1 YEAR, BUT NOT MORE THAN FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
EACH FUND HAS ADOPTED A PLAN UNDER RULE 12B-1 OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF
1940 THAT ALLOWS THE FUND TO PAY DISTRIBUTION FEES FOR THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION
OF ITS SHARES. THE DISTRIBUTION PLAN ALSO PAYS SERVICE FEES TO PERSONS (SUCH AS
YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL) FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO SHAREHOLDERS. BECAUSE
THESE FEES ARE PAID OUT OF A FUND'S ASSETS ON AN ONGOING BASIS, OVER TIME, THESE
FEES WILL INCREASE THE COST OF YOUR INVESTMENT AND MAY COST YOU MORE THAN PAYING
OTHER TYPES OF SALES CHARGES. PLEASE SEE EXHIBIT B FOR MORE SERVICE FEE
INFORMATION.
6 "DISABILITY" MEANS A TOTAL DISABILITY AS EVIDENCED BY A DETERMINATION BY
THE FEDERAL SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION.
7 THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT SUBJECT TO THIS WAIVER IS BASED ONLY UPON THE
SHAREHOLDER'S CALVERT GROUP RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS.
8 THIS SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAW PLAN REQUIRES A MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE OF
$50,000 TO BE ESTABLISHED.
<PAGE>
THE TABLE BELOW SHOWS THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL PERCENTAGE PAYABLE UNDER THE
DISTRIBUTION PLAN, AND THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY EACH FUND FOR THE MOST RECENT

IMPORTANT - HOW SHARES ARE PRICED
THE PRICE OF SHARES IS BASED ON EACH FUND'S NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV"). NAV IS
COMPUTED BY ADDING THE VALUE OF A FUND'S HOLDINGS PLUS OTHER ASSETS, SUBTRACTING
LIABILITIES, AND THEN DIVIDING THE RESULT BY THE NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING.
IF A FUND HAS MORE THAN ONE CLASS OF SHARES, THE NAV OF EACH CLASS WILL BE
DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING FOR EACH CLASS.
PORTFOLIO SECURITIES AND OTHER ASSETS ARE VALUED BASED ON MARKET QUOTATIONS,
EXCEPT THAT SECURITIES MATURING WITHIN 60 DAYS ARE VALUED AT AMORTIZED COST.
CSIF MONEY MARKET IS VALUED ACCORDING TO THE "AMORTIZED COST" METHOD, WHICH IS
INTENDED TO STABILIZE THE NAV AT $1 PER SHARE. IF MARKET QUOTATIONS ARE NOT
READILY AVAILABLE, SECURITIES ARE VALUED BY A METHOD THAT THE FUND'S BOARD OF
TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS BELIEVES ACCURATELY REFLECTS FAIR VALUE.
THE NAV IS CALCULATED AS OF THE CLOSE OF EACH BUSINESS DAY, WHICH COINCIDES WITH
THE CLOSING OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE ("NYSE")
(NORMALLY 4 P.M. ET). EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS EACH DAY THE NYSE IS OPEN.
SOME FUNDS HOLD SECURITIES THAT ARE PRIMARILY LISTED ON FOREIGN EXCHANGES THAT
TRADE ON DAYS WHEN THE NYSE IS CLOSED. THESE FUNDS DO NOT PRICE SHARES ON DAYS
WHEN THE NYSE IS CLOSED, EVEN IF FOREIGN MARKETS MAY BE OPEN. AS A RESULT, THE
VALUE OF THE FUND'S SHARES MAY CHANGE ON DAYS WHEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY
OR SELL YOUR SHARES.
WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CREDITED
YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE PROCESSED AT THE NEXT NAV CALCULATED AFTER YOUR ORDER IS
RECEIVED AND IN GOOD ORDER. ALL OF YOUR PURCHASES MUST BE MADE IN US DOLLARS.
<PAGE>
NO CASH OR THIRD PARTY CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED. NO CREDIT CARD OR CREDIT LOAN
CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED. EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING
OF SHARES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME OR TO REJECT ANY SPECIFIC PURCHASE ORDER. AS A
CONVENIENCE, CHECK PURCHASES RECEIVED AT CALVERT'S OFFICE IN BETHESDA, MARYLAND
WILL BE SENT BY OVERNIGHT DELIVERY TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND WILL BE CREDITED
THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY UPON RECEIPT. ANY CHECK PURCHASE RECEIVED WITHOUT AN
INVESTMENT SLIP MAY CAUSE DELAYED CREDITING. ANY PURCHASE LESS THAN THE $250
MINIMUM FOR SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS WILL BE CHARGED A SERVICE FEE OF $3. IF YOUR
CHECK DOES NOT CLEAR YOUR BANK, YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE CANCELED AND YOU WILL BE
CHARGED A $25 FEE PLUS ANY COSTS INCURRED. ALL PURCHASES WILL BE CONFIRMED AND
CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT IN FULL AND FRACTIONAL SHARES (ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST
1/1000TH OF A SHARE).
CSIF MONEY MARKET
YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE CREDITED AT THE NET ASSET VALUE CALCULATED AFTER YOUR
ORDER IS RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED. IF THE TRANSFER AGENT RECEIVES YOUR WIRE
PURCHASE BY 5 P.M. ET, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BEGIN EARNING DIVIDENDS ON THE NEXT
BUSINESS DAY. EXCHANGES BEGIN EARNING DIVIDENDS THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE
EXCHANGE REQUEST IS RECEIVED BY MAIL OR TELEPHONE. PURCHASES RECEIVED BY CHECK
WILL BEGIN EARNING DIVIDENDS THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER THEY ARE CREDITED TO
THE ACCOUNT.

TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED AND THE SHARES ARE NOT IN CERTIFICATE
FORM.
BEFORE YOU MAKE AN EXCHANGE, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
EACH EXCHANGE REPRESENTS THE SALE OF SHARES OF ONE FUND AND THE PURCHASE OF
SHARES OF ANOTHER. THEREFORE, YOU COULD REALIZE A TAXABLE GAIN OR LOSS.
YOU MAY EXCHANGE SHARES ACQUIRED BY REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS
INTO ANOTHER CALVERT FUND AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
SHARES MAY ONLY BE EXCHANGED FOR SHARES OF THE SAME CLASS OF ANOTHER CALVERT
FUND.
NO CDSC IS IMPOSED ON EXCHANGES OF SHARES SUBJECT TO A CDSC AT THE TIME OF THE
EXCHANGE. THE APPLICABLE CDSC IS IMPOSED AT THE TIME THE SHARES ACQUIRED BY THE
EXCHANGE ARE REDEEMED.
<PAGE>
EXCHANGE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED ON ANY DAY WHEN CALVERT IS OPEN BUT THE

OPEN.
EACH FUND AND THE DISTRIBUTOR RESERVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO REJECT OR CANCEL
ANY PART OF ANY PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE ORDER; MODIFY ANY TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF

MAILED IN ONE ENVELOPE FOR EACH COMBINATION ABOVE.
SPECIAL SERVICES AND CHARGES
EACH FUND PAYS FOR SHAREHOLDER SERVICES BUT NOT FOR SPECIAL SERVICES THAT ARE
REQUIRED BY A FEW SHAREHOLDERS, SUCH AS A REQUEST FOR A HISTORICAL TRANSCRIPT OF
AN ACCOUNT OR A STOP PAYMENT ON A DRAFT. YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY A FEE FOR
THESE SPECIAL SERVICES; FOR EXAMPLE, THE FEE FOR STOP PAYMENTS IS $25. CSIF
MONEY MARKET WILL CHARGE A SERVICE FEE OF $25 FOR DRAFTS RETURNED FOR
INSUFFICIENT OR UNCOLLECTED FUNDS.
IF YOU ARE PURCHASING SHARES THROUGH A PROGRAM OF SERVICES OFFERED BY A
BROKER/DEALER OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, YOU SHOULD READ THE PROGRAM MATERIALS
TOGETHER WITH THIS PROSPECTUS. CERTAIN FEATURES MAY BE MODIFIED IN THESE
PROGRAMS. INVESTORS MAY BE CHARGED A FEE IF THEY EFFECT TRANSACTIONS IN FUND
SHARES THROUGH A BROKER OR AGENT.
MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE
PLEASE MAINTAIN A BALANCE IN EACH OF YOUR FUND ACCOUNTS OF AT LEAST $1,000 PER
CLASS ($5,000 FOR THE CSIF MANAGED INDEX). IF THE BALANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT FALLS
BELOW THE MINIMUM DURING A MONTH, A FEE MAY BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT (CSIF
MONEY MARKET, $3/MONTH; CSIF MANAGED INDEX, $1/MONTH).
IF THE BALANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT FALLS BELOW THE MINIMUM DURING A MONTH, THE
<PAGE>
ACCOUNT MAY BE CLOSED AND THE PROCEEDS MAILED TO THE ADDRESS OF RECORD. YOU
WILL RECEIVE NOTICE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT IS BELOW THE MINIMUM, AND WILL BE CLOSED
IF THE BALANCE IS NOT BROUGHT UP TO THE REQUIRED MINIMUM WITHIN 30 DAYS.
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
EACH FUND PAYS DIVIDENDS FROM ITS NET INVESTMENT INCOME AS SHOWN BELOW. NET
INVESTMENT INCOME CONSISTS OF INTEREST INCOME, NET SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS, IF
ANY, AND DIVIDENDS DECLARED AND PAID ON INVESTMENTS, LESS EXPENSES.
DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS (TREATED AS DIVIDENDS FOR TAX
PURPOSES) AND NET LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS, IF ANY, ARE NORMALLY PAID ONCE A
YEAR; HOWEVER, THE FUNDS DO NOT ANTICIPATE MAKING ANY SUCH DISTRIBUTIONS UNLESS
AVAILABLE CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS HAVE BEEN USED OR HAVE EXPIRED. DIVIDEND AND
DISTRIBUTION PAYMENTS WILL VARY BETWEEN CLASSES.
CSIF MONEY MARKET ACCRUED DAILY, PAID MONTHLY
CSIF BOND PAID MONTHLY
CSIF BALANCED PAID QUARTERLY
CSIF EQUITY PAID ANNUALLY
CSIF MANAGED INDEX PAID ANNUALLY
CWVF INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PAID ANNUALLY
CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PAID ANNUALLY

DIVIDEND PAYMENT OPTIONS
DIVIDENDS AND ANY DISTRIBUTIONS ARE AUTOMATICALLY REINVESTED IN THE SAME FUND AT
NAV (WITHOUT SALES CHARGE), UNLESS YOU ELECT TO HAVE AMOUNTS OF $10 OR MORE PAID
IN CASH (BY CHECK OR BY CALVERT MONEY CONTROLLER). DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
FROM ANY CALVERT GROUP FUND MAY BE AUTOMATICALLY INVESTED IN AN IDENTICALLY
REGISTERED ACCOUNT IN ANY OTHER CALVERT GROUP FUND AT NAV. IF REINVESTED IN THE
SAME ACCOUNT, NEW SHARES WILL BE PURCHASED AT NAV ON THE REINVESTMENT DATE,
WHICH IS GENERALLY 1 TO 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE PAYMENT DATE. YOU MUST NOTIFY THE
FUNDS IN WRITING TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS. IF YOU ELECT TO HAVE DIVIDENDS
AND/OR DISTRIBUTIONS PAID IN CASH, AND THE US POSTAL SERVICE RETURNS THE CHECK
AS UNDELIVERABLE, IT, AS WELL AS FUTURE DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS, WILL BE
REINVESTED IN ADDITIONAL SHARES. NO DIVIDENDS WILL ACCRUE ON AMOUNTS REPRESENTED
BY UNCASHED DISTRIBUTION OR REDEMPTION CHECKS.
BUYING A DIVIDEND (NOT APPLICABLE TO MONEY MARKET FUNDS)
AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE SHARE PRICE OF EACH CLASS MAY REFLECT UNDISTRIBUTED
INCOME, CAPITAL GAINS OR UNREALIZED APPRECIATION OF SECURITIES. ANY INCOME OR
CAPITAL GAINS FROM THESE AMOUNTS WHICH ARE LATER DISTRIBUTED TO YOU ARE FULLY
TAXABLE. ON THE RECORD DATE FOR A DISTRIBUTION, SHARE VALUE IS REDUCED BY THE
AMOUNT OF THE DISTRIBUTION. IF YOU BUY SHARES JUST BEFORE THE RECORD DATE
("BUYING A DIVIDEND") YOU WILL PAY THE FULL PRICE FOR THE SHARES AND THEN
RECEIVE A PORTION OF THE PRICE BACK AS A TAXABLE DISTRIBUTION.
<PAGE>
FEDERAL TAXES
IN JANUARY, EACH FUND WILL MAIL YOU FORM 1099-DIV INDICATING THE FEDERAL TAX
STATUS OF DIVIDENDS AND ANY CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS PAID TO YOU DURING THE
PAST YEAR. GENERALLY, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ARE TAXABLE IN THE YEAR THEY
ARE PAID. HOWEVER, ANY DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS PAID IN JANUARY BUT DECLARED
DURING THE PRIOR THREE MONTHS ARE TAXABLE IN THE YEAR DECLARED. DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS ARE TAXABLE TO YOU REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE TAKEN IN CASH OR
REINVESTED. DIVIDENDS, INCLUDING SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS, ARE TAXABLE AS
ORDINARY INCOME. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ARE TAXABLE AS
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG YOU HAVE OWNED SHARES.
FOR NON-MONEY MARKET FUNDS
YOU MAY REALIZE A CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL OR EXCHANGE SHARES. THIS
CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS WILL BE SHORT- OR LONG-TERM, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU HAVE
OWNED THE SHARES WHICH WERE SOLD. IN JANUARY, THESE FUNDS WILL MAIL YOU FORM
1099-B INDICATING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL SALES, INCLUDING EXCHANGES. YOU SHOULD
KEEP YOUR ANNUAL YEAR-END ACCOUNT STATEMENTS TO DETERMINE THE COST (BASIS) OF
THE SHARES TO REPORT ON YOUR TAX RETURNS.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION
IN ADDITION TO FEDERAL TAXES, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO STATE OR LOCAL TAXES ON YOUR
INVESTMENT, DEPENDING ON THE LAWS IN YOUR AREA. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED TO THE
EXTENT, IF ANY, THAT DIVIDENDS REFLECT INTEREST RECEIVED FROM US GOVERNMENT
SECURITIES. SUCH DIVIDENDS MAY BE EXEMPT FROM CERTAIN STATE INCOME TAXES.
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
IF WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR CORRECT SOCIAL SECURITY OR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
("TIN") AND A SIGNED CERTIFIED APPLICATION OR FORM W-9, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES US
TO WITHHOLD 31% OF YOUR REPORTABLE DIVIDENDS, AND POSSIBLY 31% OF CERTAIN
REDEMPTIONS. IN ADDITION, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO A FINE BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE. YOU WILL ALSO BE PROHIBITED FROM OPENING ANOTHER ACCOUNT BY EXCHANGE.
IF THIS TIN INFORMATION IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER YOUR ACCOUNT IS
ESTABLISHED, YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE REDEEMED (CLOSED) AT THE CURRENT NAV ON THE
DATE OF REDEMPTION. CALVERT GROUP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY NEW ACCOUNT
OR ANY PURCHASE ORDER FOR FAILURE TO SUPPLY A CERTIFIED TIN.
HOW TO SELL SHARES
YOU MAY REDEEM ALL OR A PORTION OF YOUR SHARES ON ANY DAY YOUR FUND IS OPEN FOR
BUSINESS, PROVIDED THE AMOUNT REQUESTED IS NOT ON HOLD. WHEN YOU PURCHASE BY
CHECK OR WITH CALVERT MONEY CONTROLLER (ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER), THE PURCHASE
WILL BE ON HOLD FOR UP TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS FROM THE DATE OF RECEIPT. DURING THE
HOLD PERIOD, REDEMPTIONS PROCEEDS WILL NOT BE SENT UNTIL THE TRANSFER
<PAGE>
AGENT IS REASONABLY SATISFIED THAT THE PURCHASE PAYMENT HAS BEEN COLLECTED.

UNCOLLECTED FUNDS. YOUR SHARES WILL BE REDEEMED AT THE NEXT NAV CALCULATED AFTER
YOUR REDEMPTION REQUEST IS RECEIVED (LESS ANY APPLICABLE CDSC). THE PROCEEDS
WILL NORMALLY BE SENT TO YOU ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, BUT IF MAKING IMMEDIATE
PAYMENT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR FUND, IT MAY TAKE UP TO SEVEN (7) DAYS TO
MAKE PAYMENT. CALVERT MONEY CONTROLLER REDEMPTIONS GENERALLY WILL BE CREDITED TO
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT BY THE SECOND BUSINESS DAY AFTER YOUR PHONE CALL. THE FUNDS
HAVE THE RIGHT TO REDEEM SHARES IN ASSETS OTHER THAN CASH FOR REDEMPTION AMOUNTS
EXCEEDING, IN ANY 90-DAY PERIOD, $250,000 OR 1% OF THE NET ASSET VALUE OF THE
AFFECTED FUND, WHICHEVER IS LESS. WHEN THE NYSE IS CLOSED (OR WHEN TRADING IS
RESTRICTED) FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN ITS CUSTOMARY WEEKEND OR HOLIDAY CLOSINGS,
OR UNDER ANY EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES AS DETERMINED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION, REDEMPTIONS MAY BE SUSPENDED OR PAYMENT DATES
POSTPONED.PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME FEDERAL HOLIDAYS, HOWEVER, SUCH AS
COLUMBUS DAY AND VETERANS' DAY, WHEN THE NYSE IS OPEN AND THE FUND IS OPEN BUT
REDEMPTIONS CANNOT BE MAILED OR WIRED BECAUSE THE POST OFFICES AND BANKS ARE
CLOSED.
