About CDICX
Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short‑term fixed income. Its primary objective is to maximize income while preserving capital by investing in short‑term bonds and other income‑producing securities, maintaining an average portfolio duration of roughly one to three years. The strategy emphasizes investment‑grade, U.S. dollar‑denominated debt for the majority of assets, complemented by selective exposure across sectors such as corporate credit, asset‑ and mortgage‑backed securities, and securitized products to diversify income sources. The fund applies the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment, integrating environmental, social, and governance criteria through a research‑driven process that uses proprietary KPIs and active engagement with issuers. It distributes income monthly and seeks relative value across the short end of the yield curve to enhance risk‑adjusted returns within its conservative duration profile. Managed by Calvert Research and Management, the fund serves investors seeking a core short‑duration allocation that balances income generation with lower interest‑rate sensitivity compared to intermediate‑term bond strategies.
