Calvert Venture Fund

Calvert Venture Fund was a pioneering venture capital fund managed by Calvert Investments, notable for being one of the first to apply socially responsible investing (SRI) and ESG criteria to the venture capital asset class. The fund primarily targeted early-stage companies in the Mid-Atlantic region, with a strong focus on the healthcare, biotechnology, and environmental technology sectors. It sought to support innovative companies that demonstrated high growth potential alongside a commitment to positive social or environmental impact. Structured as a publicly traded mutual fund, it allowed individual investors to participate in venture capital, a rarity in the industry. The fund is no longer active, having been liquidated or merged as part of broader corporate transitions within the Calvert Group.
