About CDSRX

Calvert Short Duration Income Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund focused on investment-grade credit with a short-term profile. Its primary objective is to maximize income while preserving capital by investing in short-term bonds and other income‑producing securities, typically maintaining an average portfolio duration of about one to three years. The strategy combines fundamental and quantitative research with responsible investing criteria guided by the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment, incorporating assessment of material environmental, social, and governance factors into security selection. The fund serves investors seeking diversified exposure across corporate credit, securitized assets, and high-quality government-related debt within the short-term bond segment. It plays a role as a core short-duration allocation for managing interest rate sensitivity and credit exposure over a relatively compact horizon, with monthly income distributions typical for the category. Managed by Calvert Research and Management, part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the fund leverages a dedicated credit research platform and active engagement framework to balance income generation with risk controls aligned to ESG considerations.
