Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period that began October 1, 2019, included some of the best and worst U.S. equity performances in over a decade.
The period began with stocks rallying in the closing months of 2019, supported by better-than-expected U.S. employment reports, cautious optimism about a détente in U.S.-China trade relations, and interest rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). In July 2019, the Fed cut rates for the first time in over a decade, followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October.
In January 2020, however, news of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China began to raise investor concerns. As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought about a global economic slowdown. Equity markets along with credit markets declined in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March 2020 — lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% — along with other measures designed to shore up equity and credit markets. At its July meeting, the Fed provided additional reassurances that it would maintain rates around zero for the foreseeable future and use all the tools at its disposal to support the U.S. economy.
These moves helped calm the markets and initiated a new equity rally that began in April and lasted through most of the summer. As consumers started to emerge from coronavirus lockdowns and factories gradually resumed production, stock prices reflected investor optimism. In the second quarter of 2020, U.S. stocks reported their best quarterly returns since 1998 — on the heels of the worst first quarter for American stocks since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
In September 2020, however, the equity rally stalled, as stock prices on Wall Street began to reflect the reality on Main Street. In the final weeks of the period, coronavirus cases were on the rise in more than 30 states. Of the 22 million U.S. jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, only 11 million jobs had returned, and 26.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits. Reflecting concerns about the economic outlook for fall and winter, most U.S. stock indexes reported negative returns for the final month of the period.
For the period as a whole, largely positive equity returns belied the dramatic volatility during the period. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 15.15%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 5.70%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 40.96%. Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index and Russell 1000® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. As a group, growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks, which were in negative territory in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 21.18% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index (the Russell Index), which returned 16.01%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 21.87% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Seven of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were information technology, consumer discretionary, and health care. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, financials, and real estate.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the Russell Index was due largely to the Fund’s underweight exposure, relative to the Russell Index, to the energy and real estate sectors; and stock selections in the industrials sector.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the energy sector helped performance relative to the Russell Index due to a global oversupply of oil and natural gas — a condition that drove down energy prices before the global pandemic — and a dramatic drop in demand during the pandemic. Both factors led the sector to underperform the Russell Index during the period.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the real estate sector contributed to relative performance versus the Russell Index as well. As a result of the pandemic, brick-and-mortar businesses experienced reduced sales or closed, more employees worked remotely, landlords saw tenants leave or fall behind in their lease payments, and real estate stocks generally declined during the period.
Within the industrials sector, not owning Russell Index component and aerospace firm Boeing Co. (Boeing) contributed to Fund results versus the Russell Index. Before the pandemic, Boeing’s stock price declined after fatal crashes forced the grounding of the 737 Max, the company’s best-selling airliner. Boeing’s stock declined further during the pandemic when some customers canceled or delayed jetliner orders after air travel ground to a near-halt worldwide.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Calvert and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Calvert fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   
1 Russell 1000® Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large companies that operate their businesses in a manner consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large companies are the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
  Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/21. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2020.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase and, effective November 5, 2020, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2020, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $ 2,937,750,860(1) $ $ $ 2,937,750,860
Short-Term Investments:        
Other  — 16,901,268 16,901,268
Securities Lending Collateral 4,368,471 4,368,471
Total Investments $2,942,119,331 $16,901,268 $ — $2,959,020,599
    
(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. EVM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the investment advisory fee amounted to $2,790,221. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49%, 1.24%, 0.24% and 0.19% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $2,548,836.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM was paid administrative fees of $2,790,221.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $895,391 and $596,880 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $103,041 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2020. The Fund was also informed that EVD received less than $100 and $6,701 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the same period.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2020, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $75,260 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $154,000, plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $20,000 annual fee and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an Advisory Council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The Advisory Council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and three (four prior to December 31, 2019) additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) received annual compensation of $75,000, which was being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ending December 31, 2020, each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) is expected to be compensated $20,000 for their service on the Advisory Council. Such compensation, and any other compensation and/or expenses incurred by the Advisory Council as may be approved by the Board, shall be borne by the Calvert funds. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Fund’s allocated portion of the Advisory Council compensation and fees was $32,957 and the reimbursement was $29,750, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $785,518,459 and $239,762,068, respectively.

4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2020 2019
Ordinary income $23,324,032 $19,210,410
Long-term capital gains $ $35,119,182
During the year ended September 30, 2020, distributable earnings was decreased by $2,096,032 and paid-in capital was increased by $2,096,032 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains.
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 22,345,343
Deferred capital losses $ (14,515,504)
Net unrealized appreciation $896,060,132
At September 30, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $14,515,504 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2020, $9,873,286 are short-term and $4,642,218 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $2,062,960,467
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 958,594,355
Gross unrealized depreciation (62,534,223)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 896,060,132
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2020 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020.
6  Line of Credit
Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
Prior to October 29, 2019, the Fund participated with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which was terminated by the Calvert funds. Borrowings bore interest at the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds rate, plus 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which was allocated to all participating funds.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2020. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 27, 2020, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 26, 2021, at substantially the same terms.

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
10  Subsequent Event
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and any related sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable. Thus, the Fund’s Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable). If approved by the Fund’s Board, the new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and agent banks. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period that began October 1, 2019, included some of the best and worst U.S. equity performances in over a decade.
The period began with stocks rallying in the closing months of 2019, supported by better-than-expected U.S. employment reports, cautious optimism about a détente in U.S.-China trade relations, and interest rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). In July 2019, the Fed cut rates for the first time in over a decade, followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October.
In January 2020, however, news of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China began to raise investor concerns. As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought about a global economic slowdown. Equity markets along with credit markets declined in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March 2020 — lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% — along with other measures designed to shore up equity and credit markets. At its July meeting, the Fed provided additional reassurances that it would maintain rates around zero for the foreseeable future and use all the tools at its disposal to support the U.S. economy.
These moves helped calm the markets and initiated a new equity rally that began in April and lasted through most of the summer. As consumers started to emerge from coronavirus lockdowns and factories gradually resumed production, stock prices reflected investor optimism. In the second quarter of 2020, U.S. stocks reported their best quarterly returns since 1998 — on the heels of the worst first quarter for American stocks since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
In September 2020, however, the equity rally stalled, as stock prices on Wall Street began to reflect the reality on Main Street. In the final weeks of the period, coronavirus cases were on the rise in more than 30 states. Of the 22 million U.S. jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, only 11 million jobs had returned, and 26.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits. Reflecting concerns about the economic outlook for fall and winter, most U.S. stock indexes reported negative returns for the final month of the period.
For the period as a whole, largely positive equity returns belied the dramatic volatility during the period. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 15.15%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 5.70%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 40.96%. Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index and Russell 1000® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. As a group, growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks, which were in negative territory in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 36.14% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the Russell Index), which returned 37.53%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 36.84% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Ten of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, real estate, and utilities. The strongest-performing sectors were consumer discretionary, information technology (IT), and health care.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Russell Index was due largely to the Fund’s underweight exposure, relative to the Russell Index, to the IT sector and stock selections in the IT and communication services sectors.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the IT sector detracted from performance relative to the Russell Index because IT was the strongest-performing sector in the Russell Index during the period. Technology stocks led the equity rally that began in April 2020, as technology companies profited from employees working remotely and the shift to more online shopping during the pandemic. Within the IT sector, underweighting Apple, Inc., relative to the Russell Index, hurt performance versus that benchmark as the stock price of the computer and cell phone hardware and services firm more than doubled during the period.
In the communication services sector, not owning the Russell Index component and social networking firm Facebook, Inc. (Facebook) detracted from relative performance. Facebook’s stock performed strongly as its user base grew and small businesses, in particular, increased advertising spending to reach consumers largely isolated at home during the pandemic.
In contrast, the Fund’s underweight exposure to the weak- performing industrials sector, along with stock selection in the sector, helped Fund performance relative to the Russell Index. Within industrials, not owning the Russell Index component and aerospace firm Boeing Company (Boeing) contributed to Fund results versus the Russell Index. Before the pandemic, Boeing’s stock price declined after fatal crashes forced the grounding of the 737 Max, the company’s best-selling airliner. Boeing’s stock declined further during the pandemic when some customers canceled or delayed jetliner orders after air travel ground to a near-halt worldwide.

1 Russell 1000® Growth Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap growth stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large growth companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large growth companies are selected from the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization and growth style factors, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles of Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/21. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2020.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2020, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. EVM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the investment advisory fee amounted to $133,733. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49% and 0.24% for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $200,606.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM was paid administrative fees of $133,733.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $53,087 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $16,865 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2020, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $9,190 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $154,000, plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $20,000 annual fee and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an Advisory Council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The Advisory Council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and three (four prior to December 31, 2019) additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) received annual compensation of $75,000, which was being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ending December 31, 2020, each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) is expected to be compensated $20,000 for their service on the Advisory Council. Such compensation, and any other compensation and/or expenses incurred by the Advisory Council as may be approved by the Board, shall be borne by the Calvert funds. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Fund’s allocated portion of the Advisory Council compensation and fees was $1,534 and the reimbursement was $1,371, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $72,984,832 and $58,731,493, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2020 2019
Ordinary income $704,231 $1,256,114
Long-term capital gains $881,808 $2,292,167
During the year ended September 30, 2020, distributable earnings was decreased by $535,783 and paid-in capital was increased by $535,783 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

As of September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,043,821
Undistributed long-term capital gains $ 1,641,548
Net unrealized appreciation $56,871,522
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $87,590,270
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 57,454,246
Gross unrealized depreciation (582,724)
Net unrealized appreciation $56,871,522
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2020, the total value of securities on loan was $982,848 and the total value of collateral received was $993,943, comprised of cash of $51,009 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $942,934.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2020.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $51,009 $ — $ — $ — $51,009
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2020 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020.
6  Line of Credit
Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

Prior to October 29, 2019, the Fund participated with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which was terminated by the Calvert funds. Borrowings bore interest at the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds rate, plus 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which was allocated to all participating funds.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2020. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 27, 2020, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 26, 2021, at substantially the same terms.

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
10  Subsequent Event
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and any related sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable. Thus, the Fund’s Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable). If approved by the Fund’s Board, the new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of Sepember 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period that began October 1, 2019, included some of the best and worst U.S. equity performances in over a decade.
The period began with stocks rallying in the closing months of 2019, supported by better-than-expected U.S. employment reports, cautious optimism about a détente in U.S.-China trade relations, and interest rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). In July 2019, the Fed cut rates for the first time in over a decade, followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October.
In January 2020, however, news of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China began to raise investor concerns. As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought about a global economic slowdown. Equity markets along with credit markets declined in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March 2020 — lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% — along with other measures designed to shore up equity and credit markets. At its July meeting, the Fed provided additional reassurances that it would maintain rates around zero for the foreseeable future and use all the tools at its disposal to support the U.S. economy.
These moves helped calm the markets and initiated a new equity rally that began in April and lasted through most of the summer. As consumers started to emerge from coronavirus lockdowns and factories gradually resumed production, stock prices reflected investor optimism. In the second quarter of 2020, U.S. stocks reported their best quarterly returns since 1998 — on the heels of the worst first quarter for American stocks since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
In September 2020, however, the equity rally stalled, as stock prices on Wall Street began to reflect the reality on Main Street. In the final weeks of the period, coronavirus cases were on the rise in more than 30 states. Of the 22 million U.S. jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, only 11 million jobs had returned, and 26.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits. Reflecting concerns about the economic outlook for fall and winter, most U.S. stock indexes reported negative returns for the final month of the period.
For the period as a whole, largely positive equity returns belied the dramatic volatility during the period. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 15.15%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 5.70%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 40.96%. Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index and Russell 1000® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. As a group, growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks, which were in negative territory in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 0.35% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (the Russell Index), which returned -5.03%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 0.47% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Six of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were health care, information technology (IT), and industrials. The weakest- performing sectors were energy, real estate, and financials. The Fund sold its entire position in the energy sector by period-end.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the Russell Index was due largely to the Fund’s underweight exposure, relative to the Russell Index, to the energy sector; overweight exposure and stock selections in the IT sector; and stock selections in the industrials sector.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the energy sector helped performance relative to the Russell Index due to a global oversupply of oil and natural gas — a condition that drove down energy prices before the global pandemic — and a dramatic drop in demand during the pandemic. Both factors led the sector to underperform the Russell Index during the period.
Technology stocks led the equity rally that began in April 2020, as IT companies profited from employees working remotely and the shift to more online shopping during the pandemic. Within the IT sector, the Fund’s position in Apple, Inc., which was not represented in the Russell Index, contributed to performance versus the Russell Index as the stock price of the computer and cell phone hardware and services firm appreciated sharply during the technology-led rally.
In the industrials sector, the Fund’s overweight position, relative to the Russell Index, in shipping and logistics company United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) helped performance relative to the Russell Index. UPS saw its delivery business increase and its stock price rise during the pandemic, as consumers stayed at home and had everything from toilet paper to laptops delivered to their doorsteps.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

1 Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap value stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large value companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large value companies are selected from the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization and value style factors, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles of Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/21. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2020.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2020, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $ 711,076,138(1) $ $ $ 711,076,138
Short-Term Investments:        
Other  — 67,939 67,939
Securities Lending Collateral 2,079,261 2,079,261
Total Investments $713,155,399 $67,939 $ — $713,223,338
    
(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. EVM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the investment advisory fee amounted to $653,487. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49% and 0.24% for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $781,138.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM was paid administrative fees of $653,487.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $129,403 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $20,147 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2020, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $13,938 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $154,000, plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $20,000 annual fee and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an Advisory Council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The Advisory Council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and three (four prior to December 31, 2019) additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) received annual compensation of $75,000, which was being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ending December 31, 2020, each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) is expected to be compensated $20,000 for their service on the Advisory Council. Such compensation, and any other compensation and/or expenses incurred by the Advisory Council as may be approved by the Board, shall be borne by the Calvert funds. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Fund’s allocated portion of the Advisory Council compensation and fees was $7,765 and the reimbursement was $7,006, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $457,981,410 and $171,700,553, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2020 2019
Ordinary income $7,689,903 $7,689,642
Long-term capital gains $2,945,758 $4,783,830
During the year ended September 30, 2020, distributable earnings was decreased by $1,043,539 and paid-in capital was increased by $1,043,539 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Calvert
US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

As of September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $10,942,134
Net unrealized appreciation $27,583,351
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $685,639,987
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 63,654,135
Gross unrealized depreciation (36,070,784)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 27,583,351
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2020, the total value of securities on loan was $10,341,105 and the total value of collateral received was $10,761,422, comprised of cash of $2,079,261 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $8,682,161.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2020.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $2,079,261 $ — $ — $ — $2,079,261
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2020 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020.
6  Line of Credit
Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.

Calvert
US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

Prior to October 29, 2019, the Fund participated with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which was terminated by the Calvert funds. Borrowings bore interest at the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds rate, plus 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which was allocated to all participating funds.
At September 30, 2020, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $4,500,000 at an annual interest rate of 1.09%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2020. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 27, 2020, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 26, 2021, at substantially the same terms.
7  Affiliated Funds
At September 30, 2020, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $67,939, which represents less than 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
10  Subsequent Event
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and any related sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable. Thus, the Fund’s Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable). If approved by the Fund’s Board, the new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period that began October 1, 2019, included some of the best and worst U.S. equity performances in over a decade.
The period began with stocks rallying in the closing months of 2019, supported by better-than-expected U.S. employment reports, cautious optimism about a détente in U.S.-China trade relations, and interest rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). In July 2019, the Fed cut rates for the first time in over a decade, followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October.
In January 2020, however, news of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China began to raise investor concerns. As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought about a global economic slowdown. Equity markets along with credit markets declined in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March 2020 — lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% — along with other measures designed to shore up equity and credit markets. At its July meeting, the Fed provided additional reassurances that it would maintain rates around zero for the foreseeable future and use all the tools at its disposal to support the U.S. economy.
These moves helped calm the markets and initiated a new equity rally that began in April and lasted through most of the summer. As consumers started to emerge from coronavirus lockdowns and factories gradually resumed production, stock prices reflected investor optimism. In the second quarter of 2020, U.S. stocks reported their best quarterly returns since 1998 — on the heels of the worst first quarter for American stocks since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
In September 2020, however, the equity rally stalled, as stock prices on Wall Street began to reflect the reality on Main Street. In the final weeks of the period, coronavirus cases were on the rise in more than 30 states. Of the 22 million U.S. jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, only 11 million jobs had returned, and 26.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits. Reflecting concerns about the economic outlook for fall and winter, most U.S. stock indexes reported negative returns for the final month of the period.
For the period as a whole, largely positive equity returns belied the dramatic volatility during the period. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 15.15%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 5.70%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 40.96%. Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index and Russell 1000® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. As a group, growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks, which were in negative territory in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 10.60% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index (the Russell Index), which returned 4.55%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 10.80% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Seven of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were health care, information technology, and industrials. The weakest- performing sectors were energy, financials, and real estate.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the Russell Index was due largely to the Fund’s underweight exposure, relative to the Russell Index, to the real estate and energy sectors; and overweight exposure and stock selections in the health care sector.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the energy sector helped performance relative to the Russell Index due to a global oversupply of oil and natural gas — a condition that drove down energy prices before the global pandemic — and a dramatic drop in demand during the pandemic. Both factors led the sector to underperform the Russell Index during the period.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the real estate sector contributed to relative performance versus the Russell Index as well. As result of the pandemic, brick-and-mortar businesses experienced reduced sales or closed, more employees worked remotely, landlords saw tenants leave or fall behind in their lease payments, and real estate stocks generally declined during the period.
The health care sector, in contrast, outperformed the Russell Index as coronavirus vaccine development and demand for therapeutics and patient care ramped up during the period. As a result, the Fund’s overweight exposure to the sector helped relative performance versus the Russell Index. Within health care, the Fund’s overweight position in Teladoc Health, Inc., a provider of telehealth virtual health care visits, appreciated in value as large numbers of patients turned to virtual visits during the pandemic.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

1 Russell Midcap® Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. mid-cap stocks. Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of mid-sized companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Mid-size companies are the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization, excluding real estate investment trusts, business development companies and approximately the 200 largest publicly traded U.S. companies. The Calvert Principles of Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/21. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class I $1,000.00 $1,023.80 $1.21 ** 0.24%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2020.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher.

US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of mid-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. EVM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the investment advisory fee amounted to $90,408. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49% and 0.24% for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $208,393.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM was paid administrative fees of $90,408.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $32,725 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $6,452 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2020, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $11,046 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
During the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM reimbursed the Fund $1,902 for a net realized loss due to a trading error. The impact of the reimbursement was less than $0.01 per share for each class and had no significant impact on total return.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $154,000, plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $20,000 annual fee and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an Advisory Council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The Advisory Council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and three (four prior to December 31, 2019) additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) received annual compensation of $75,000, which was being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ending December 31, 2020, each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) is expected to be compensated $20,000 for their service on the Advisory Council. Such compensation, and any other compensation and/or expenses incurred by the Advisory Council as may be approved by the Board, shall be borne by the Calvert funds. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Fund’s allocated portion of the Advisory Council compensation and fees was $1,061 and the reimbursement was $954, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $50,370,454 and $23,672,947, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2020 2019
Ordinary income $587,146 $943,782
Long-term capital gains $632,485 $866,268
During the year ended September 30, 2020, distributable earnings was decreased by $277,099 and paid-in capital was increased by $277,099 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

As of September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,250,799
Undistributed long-term capital gains $ 1,788,357
Net unrealized appreciation $14,573,435
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $83,214,863
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 18,917,670
Gross unrealized depreciation (4,344,235)
Net unrealized appreciation $14,573,435
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2020, the total value of securities on loan was $2,822,790 and the total value of collateral received was $2,913,541, comprised of cash of $569,592 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $2,343,949.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2020.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $569,592 $ — $ — $ — $569,592
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2020 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020.
6  Line of Credit
Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

Prior to October 29, 2019, the Fund participated with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which was terminated by the Calvert funds. Borrowings bore interest at the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds rate, plus 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which was allocated to all participating funds.
At September 30, 2020, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $600,000 at an annual interest rate of 1.09%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2020. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 27, 2020, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 26, 2021, at substantially the same terms.
7  Affiliated Funds
At September 30, 2020, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $28,581, which represents less than 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
10  Subsequent Event
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and any related sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable. Thus, the Fund’s Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable). If approved by the Fund’s Board, the new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

For more information about our Privacy Program or about how your personal information may be used, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period that began October 1, 2019, included some of the best and worst equity performances in over a decade.
The period began with global equities rallying in the closing months of 2019, supported by interest-rate reductions by dozens of central banks worldwide. In July 2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) had cut rates for the first time in over a decade, followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October.
In January 2020, however, news of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China began to raise investor concerns. As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought about a global economic slowdown. Equity markets along with credit markets declined in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March 2020 — lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% — along with other measures designed to shore up the markets. Across the globe, other central banks and governments also commenced aggressive monetary and fiscal responses to help mitigate the economic effects of the virus.
These moves helped calm the markets and initiated a global equity rally that began in late March and lasted through August. In the second quarter of 2020, U.S. stocks reported their best quarterly returns since 1998 — on the heels of the worst first quarter for American stocks since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. As with U.S. equities, overseas stock indexes reflected investor optimism as economies started to emerge from coronavirus lockdowns and factories resumed production.
In September 2020, however, the equity rally stalled as the pandemic appeared to increase its drag on the global economy. Across Europe, nations that seemed to have beaten back the coronavirus during the summer began to brace for a second wave of infections. In the U.S., coronavirus cases were on the rise in more than 30 states. Of the 22 million U.S. jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, only 11 million jobs had returned, and 26.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits. Reflecting the increasingly grim economic outlook for fall and winter, most major global stock indexes reported negative returns for the final month of the period.
For the period as a whole, positive equity returns belied the dramatic volatility during the period. The MSCI World Index, a broad measure of global equities, returned 10.41%; while the S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 15.15%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 40.96%. The MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities returned 0.49%; while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 10.54% in U.S. dollars.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 7.31% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index (the Index), which returned 0.16%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert International Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 7.70% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Nine of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were information technology (IT), health care, and materials. The weakest-performing sectors were financials, real estate, and consumer discretionary.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the Index was due largely to the Fund’s underweight exposure, relative to the Index, to the energy sector; overweight exposure to the IT sector; and stock selections in the IT and industrials sectors.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the energy sector helped performance relative to the Index due to a global oversupply of oil and natural gas — a condition that drove down energy prices before the global pandemic — and a dramatic drop in demand during the pandemic; both factors led the sector to underperform the Index.
The Fund’s overweight exposure to the IT sector helped performance relative to the Index as technology companies led the equity rally that began in April. Technology companies profited from employees working remotely and a shift toward more online shopping during the period. Within the IT sector, the Fund’s out-of-Index position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a stock that appreciated significantly during the period, contributed to results relative to the Index.
In the industrials sector, not owning European Union-based Index component Airbus SE (Airbus) — one of the world’s largest makers of jet airliners — also helped performance versus the Index. Airbus’ stock price declined during the pandemic after air travel ground to a near-halt worldwide, and Airbus customers canceled or delayed aircraft orders.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2020.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher.

The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Board has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public

trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. EVM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the investment advisory fee amounted to $210,485. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.54%, 0.29% and 0.26% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $357,565.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2020, CRM was paid administrative fees of $210,485.

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $105,452 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $5,019 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2020, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $12,733 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $154,000, plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $20,000 annual fee and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an Advisory Council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The Advisory Council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and three (four prior to December 31, 2019) additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) received annual compensation of $75,000, which was being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ending December 31, 2020, each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) is expected to be compensated $20,000 for their service on the Advisory Council. Such compensation, and any other compensation and/or expenses incurred by the Advisory Council as may be approved by the Board, shall be borne by the Calvert funds. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Fund’s allocated portion of the Advisory Council compensation and fees was $2,411 and the reimbursement was $2,149, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $144,609,453 and $31,414,780, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2020 2019
Ordinary income $2,494,126 $2,242,002
During the year ended September 30, 2020, distributable earnings was decreased by $505,273 and paid-in capital was increased by $505,273 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains.
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,958,056
Deferred capital losses $ (3,390,825)
Net unrealized appreciation $16,610,736
At September 30, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $3,390,825 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax.

Calvert
International Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2020, $2,365,223 are short-term and $1,025,602 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $231,204,949
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 30,580,548
Gross unrealized depreciation (13,982,653)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 16,597,895
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2020, the total value of securities on loan was $2,619,694 and the total value of collateral received was $2,739,378, comprised of cash of $936,893 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $1,802,485.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2020.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $936,893 $ — $ — $ — $936,893
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2020 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2020.
6  Line of Credit
Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

Prior to October 29, 2019, the Fund participated with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which was terminated by the Calvert funds. Borrowings bore interest at the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds rate, plus 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which was allocated to all participating funds.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2020. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 27, 2020, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 26, 2021, at substantially the same terms.

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in foreign securities involves additional risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad. Other risks result from differences between regulations that apply to U.S. and foreign issuers and markets, and the potential for foreign markets to be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
10  Subsequent Event
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and any related sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable. Thus, the Fund’s Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable). If approved by the Fund’s Board, the new investment advisory agreement (and new sub-advisory agreement(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Calvert Funds since 2002.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

On an ongoing basis, in the normal course of servicing your account, Eaton Vance may share your information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various services for Eaton Vance and/or your account.

We believe our Privacy Program is reasonably designed to protect the confidentiality of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access to that information.
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Program at any time upon proper notification to you. You may want to review our Privacy Program periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com.

For more information about our Privacy Program or about how your personal information may be used, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Miles D. Harper III, an “independent” Director serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.


The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
