About CUBCX
Calvert Flexible Bond Fund Class C is a diversified mutual fund in the nontraditional bond category that aims for positive absolute returns across full market cycles. According to its stated approach, the fund employs a flexible, multi-sector process that allocates across global fixed-income markets and uses various strategies, with at least 80% of net assets invested in bonds or bond-linked instruments, including derivatives, spanning any maturity and credit quality, with the ability to invest without limit in high-yield securities. The portfolio typically includes U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and other securitized and corporate credit exposures, resulting in a moderate effective duration profile. Security selection and portfolio construction are guided by The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment, embedding environmental, social, and governance considerations within the process. Within the market, the fund serves as a flexible core-plus or diversifier allocation, seeking to navigate changing rate and credit regimes through tactical positioning and broad sector access, while offering retail investors a level-load share class structure.
