WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE…OR IS IT?
Worldwide, water consumption is doubling every 20 years, twice the rate of population growth1
China is home to 21% of the world’s population, but has only 7% of its water supply2
About 80% of sewage flows untreated into bodies of water in developing countries, according to the United Nations

A RIVER RUNS FROM IT
2.5 billion people worldwide don’t have access to wastewater services and 800 million don’t have access to clean water.1
Dangerous and costly infrastructure issues abound
One-third of utilities around the globe report losing more than 40% of clean water to leaks.

Emerging Market Growth Increased exposure to Emerging Markets China/India increased spending nearly 10x in 10 years
M & A M&A activity still pervasive Benefit from owning companies that acquire others or are
targeted for acquisition
Evolving Regulations Ballast water treatment & shale-related water management are two key emerging trends
Supply-Demand Imbalance Fixed supply + demand growing twice as fast as the population = growing gap
Climate change is altering water supply patterns
Capital Expenditure Significant capital expenditure in Power, Refineries, Chemicals, Upstream Oil & Gas, Mining sectors

Standard deviation is one measure of a investment’s risk. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to directly invest in an index.

POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE CALVERT GLOBALWATER FUND
You could lose money on your investment in the Calvert Global Water Fund, or the Fund could
underperform, because of the following risks:
Stocks that comprise the water-related resource sector may fall in value.
The water industry can be significantly affected by common economic trends or other conditions or developments,
such as the availability of water, the level of rainfall and occurrence of other climatic events, changes in water
consumption, and new technologies relating to the supply of water, in addition to environmental considerations,
taxation, and government regulation (including the increased cost of compliance).
The stock market (including markets outside the U.S.) may fall in value, causing prices of stocks held by the Fund to
fall.
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies than a diversified
fund, and gains or losses on a single stock may have greater impact on the Fund.
A downturn in the water-related resource sector would impact the Fund more than other mutual funds because the
Fund concentrates in this industry.
By focusing on a specific sector or industry, the Fund may be more volatile than a typical mutual fund.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk
of currency fluctuations.
Strong global water spending and demand for water-related solutions does not necessarily indicate positive
investment results for a fund investing in the water sector.
