The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of foreign companies (common and preferred stock and the depositary receipts on such stock) (the “80% Policy”). Using a core investment approach, the Fund invests primarily in common and preferred stocks of non-U.S. large-cap companies. The Fund defines non-U.S. large-cap companies as those whose market capitalization falls within the range of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index at the time of investment. As of December 31, 2023, the market capitalization of the MSCI EAFE companies ranged from $1.9 billion to $460.3 billion with a weighted average market capitalization of $89.6 billion. Market capitalizations of companies within the MSCI EAFE Index are subject to change.
The Fund generally holds stocks of companies from the constituent countries of the MSCI EAFE Index, but may invest in other countries, including emerging markets stocks. The Fund will invest in at least three different countries. The portfolio managers select securities for the Fund primarily on the basis of fundamental research, including consideration of the responsible investing criteria described below. The portfolio managers seek companies which they believe have strong business franchises but whose value is not yet fully reflected in their share prices. Such companies may include companies with a high return on invested capital, companies with a sustainable competitive advantage and/or companies with shareholder-friendly management teams. In selecting securities to implement the Fund’s core investment approach, the portfolio managers seek companies that, in their opinion, are high in quality or improving in quality. The Fund’s focus on valuation and quality companies may help dampen performance volatility in down markets. Securities may be sold if, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, the price moves above a fair level of valuation, the company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or to pursue more attractive investment opportunities. A security will also be sold (in accordance with the investment adviser’s guidelines and at a time and in a manner that is determined to be in the best interests of shareholders) if the investment adviser determines that the issuer does not operate in a manner consistent with the Fund’s responsible investment criteria.
The Fund may enter into foreign currency derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency futures contracts) to seek to hedge foreign currency exposure.
The Fund invests no more than 20% of its net assets in U.S. companies (excluding High Social Impact and Special Equities investments). See “About Responsible Investing” in this Prospectus.
The Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), which are either sponsored or unsponsored, and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). The Fund may also lend its securities.
Responsible Investing. The portfolio manager(s) seek to invest in companies that manage environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risk exposures adequately and that are not exposed to excessive ESG risk through their principal business activities. Companies are analyzed by the investment adviser’s ESG analysts utilizing The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment (“Principles”), a framework for considering ESG factors (a copy of which is included as an appendix to the Fund’s Prospectus). Each company is evaluated relative to an appropriate peer group based on material ESG factors as determined by the investment adviser. Pursuant to the Principles, the investment adviser seeks to identify companies and other issuers that operate in a manner that is consistent with or promotes environmental sustainability and resource efficiency, equitable societies and respect for human rights, and accountable governance and transparency. The Fund generally invests in issuers that are believed by the investment adviser to operate in accordance with the Principles and may also invest in issuers that the investment adviser believes are likely to operate in accordance with the Principles pending the investment adviser’s engagement activity with such issuer.
