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 Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 
 
 
 

Economic and Market Conditions

U.S. stocks delivered strong returns in the 12-month period ended September 30, 2017 behind an extended rally that began with Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election.
After lagging early in the period, U.S stocks moved sharply higher following President Trump's election on November 8, 2016. While its effects were broad-based, the rally particularly favored financial stocks, which received another boost in mid-December when the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its benchmark interest rate amid continued economic growth. After a brief pullback in the final weeks of 2016, U.S. equities resumed their advance in early 2017.
U.S. stocks slipped in March 2017, as the failure of President Trump's health care bill in Congress raised concerns about prospects for the rest of his policy agenda including tax reform and infrastructure spending. However, stocks quickly regained their upward momentum, advancing steadily despite additional Fed rate hikes in March and June. Encouraged by a range of favorable economic indicators, particularly U.S. job market gains, many investors viewed the rate hikes as a sign of a strengthening economy.
U.S. equities retreated again in August amid rising geopolitical tensions over the North Korea stand-off and the devastation in Texas left by Hurricane Harvey. Stocks soon resumed their upward trend, with some U.S. indexes reaching record highs in the final month of the period. From a sector perspective, energy stocks delivered notable performance in the quarter as oil prices rose and refinery damage from Hurricane Harvey constricted supplies. The massive flood damage from the hurricane also helped boost auto sales, which rose in September after declining for much of 2017.
Major stock indexes recorded double-digit gains for the period. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average2 advanced 25.45%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, added 18.61%. The technology-laden NASDAQ Composite Index delivered a 23.68% gain. Small-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, generally outperformed their large-cap counterparts as measured by the S&P 500 Index during the period. Growth stocks, as a group, outpaced value stocks in both the large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.



 

Fund Performance

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), had a total return of 19.74%. By comparison, the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (the Index), returned 20.74% during the period.
The Fund narrowly underperformed the Index due to sector and industry allocation. Stock selection overall was a positive contribution to relative Fund performance versus the Index. Both the Fund and the Index recorded positive returns in 10 of the Index's 11 economic sectors.
The health care sector was the Fund's biggest detractor versus the Index due to stock selection and an underweight position in the outperforming sector. Within the sector, the health care equipment & supplies industry was a drag on relative Fund performance in the period. SurModics, Inc., a supplier of diagnostic equipment, was one of the Fund's weakest individual stocks after a disappointing earnings forecast. In the information technology sector, stock selection in the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry hampered relative Fund results in the 12-month period. Among the Fund's individual stock laggards was Veeco Instruments, Inc., a supplier of semiconductor equipment to the LED lighting market, as the company's sales and earnings disappointed. The energy sector also lagged during the period due primarily to an overweight position in the energy equipment & services industry. The Fund's worst-performing individual stock was US Silica Holdings, Inc., a supplier of sand used for drilling oil and gas wells. The company was hurt by increased competition. SurModics and Veeco Instruments were sold during the period.
On the positive side, the consumer discretionary sector made the largest contribution to relative Fund performance versus the Index, primarily due to stock selection. Grand Canyon Education, Inc., a for-profit college, was the Fund's top-performing stock in the period. Higher enrollment, improved financial results and expectations of a more favorable regulatory environment under the Trump administration all helped push the stock higher. The financials sector contributed to Fund performance relative to the Index thanks to stock selection along with an overweight position in the sector. Among industries in the sector, banks recorded solid returns over the 12-month period amid rising interest rates and an improved business environment for banks. Two regional banks, SVB Financial Group and East West Bancorp, Inc., were among the Fund's leading stocks. Stock selection in the consumer staples sector also contributed to relative Fund performance versus the Index in the period. Within the sector, the food products and household products industries delivered notable results. SVB Financial Group and East West Bancorp were sold during the period.

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 less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund's current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

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 Eaton Vance 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.

Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted average of 30 blue-chip stocks that are generally the leaders in their industry. S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of large-cap stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. NASDAQ Composite Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of all domestic and international securities listed on NASDAQ. Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index of 2,000 U.S. small-cap stocks. 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.

3
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 Y is linked to Class A. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.

Effective November 6, 2017, Class I shares have an initial investment minimum of $250,000.

4
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/19. 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.


 
 
5 Does not include Short Term Investment of Cash Collateral for Securities Loaned.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 2017 to September 30, 2017).
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.

** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 10, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates four (4) separate series, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies, which are accounted for separately. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of Calvert Small-Cap Fund (formerly, Calvert Small Cap Fund) (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue 2 billion shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 250 million shares have been allocated to the Fund.
The Fund is diversified. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in small-cap common stocks of U.S. companies.
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 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year 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 one year of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Class I and Class Y 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.
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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of securities and financial instruments of the Fund to the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and has provided these Procedures to govern the Adviser in its valuation duties.
The Adviser has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated. The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

 
20 www.calvert.com CALVERT SMALL-CAP FUND ANNUAL REPORT




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 asked prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official 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. 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 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 fairly reflects the security’s value, or 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 condition, 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 Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2017, based on the inputs used to value them:

www.calvert.com CALVERT SMALL-CAP FUND ANNUAL REPORT 21




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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. 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.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective December 31, 2016, Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), became the investment adviser to the Fund following a transaction between CRM and certain of its affiliates and Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

The Fund adopted a new distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which were approved by the Board and became effective as of December 31, 2016 or shortly thereafter upon approval by the shareholders of the respective class. Pursuant to the Class A Plan and Class C Plan, the Fund pays a distribution fee of 0.25% and 0.75% per annum for Class A and Class C, respectively, and a service fee of 0.25% per annum for Class C of its average daily net assets attributable to such class for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided. Pursuant to the Fund’s former distribution plans for Class A shares and Class C shares, the Fund was permitted to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class A and Class C shares not to exceed 0.35% for Class A and 1.00% for Class C of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class. Effective December 31, 2016, the fees are paid to Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter. Prior to December 31, 2016, the fees were paid to Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (CID), an affiliate of CIM and the Fund’s former distributor and principal underwriter.

The Fund was informed that EVD and CID received $26,167 and $6,465, respectively, as their portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2017. The Fund was also informed that EVD and CID received $4,418 and $2,142, respectively, of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the same period.
Effective December 31, 2016, EVM provides sub-transfer agency services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For its services, EVM receives an annual fee of $8 per shareholder account. Prior to December 31, 2016, Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (CIS), an affiliate of CIM, acted as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund and received a fee at the same rate as is paid to EVM. For the year ended September 30, 2017, sub-transfer agency fees paid to EVM were $49,528 and shareholder servicing fees paid to CIS were $16,790. Such fees 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 a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $52,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Prior to December 31, 2016, each Director of the Fund who was not an employee of CIM or its affiliates received a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $52,000. Committee members received $500 for each Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,500. Committee chairs received an additional annual retainer ranging from $6,000 to $10,000. 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 and, prior to December 31, 2016, of CIM or their affiliates are/were paid by CRM and CIM, respectively. In addition, in connection with the Transaction, 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 four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by CIM and Ameritas Holding Company for a period of up to three years through December 30, 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $3,250, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the year ended September 30, 2017, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $397,430,951 and $466,948,753, respectively.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was as follows:
 
Year Ended September 30,
 
2017
 
2016
Distributions declared from:
 
 
 
Ordinary income

$70,704

 

$6,747,301

Long-term capital gains

$4,566,810

 

$14,570,023

During the year ended September 30, 2017, accumulated undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $7,425,444, accumulated net investment loss was decreased by $294,696 and paid-in capital was increased by $7,130,748 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting, dividend redesignations and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses, distributions from real estate investment trusts, return of capital distributions from securities and investments in partnerships. 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, 2017, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income

$18,113,259

Undistributed long-term capital gains

$21,552,268

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$31,499,501

The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the tax treatment of short-term capital gains and temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to wash sales and investments in partnerships.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2017, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments

$271,118,965

Gross unrealized appreciation

$33,994,809

Gross unrealized depreciation
(2,495,308
)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$31,499,501

NOTE D — 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 (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be 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 State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar denominated instruments. 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 on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral 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.

 
24 www.calvert.com CALVERT SMALL-CAP FUND ANNUAL REPORT




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, 2017, the total value of securities on loan was $3,537,043 and the total value of collateral received was $3,596,034.
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, 2017.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2017 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 A) at September 30, 2017.
NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and SSB. Under the agreement, which expires on August 7, 2018, SSB provides an unsecured line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 was paid in connection with the renewal of the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. 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. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2017. Average borrowings and the weighted average interest rate (excluding fees) for the year ended September 30, 2017 were $239,644 and 2.06%, respectively.
NOTE F — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Fund invests a portion of its assets designated for high social impact investments in notes issued by the Calvert Social Investment Foundation (the “Foundation”) pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Fund relies on exemptive relief to invest in the notes because the Fund’s investments in the notes may be considered prohibited transactions between affiliated persons under the 1940 Act. The Foundation may be considered an affiliated person of the Calvert Funds based on the overlap between the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the Calvert Funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. The Foundation has licensed use of the Calvert name from the Adviser, and the Adviser’s President and Chief Executive Officer serves on the Foundation Board. The Foundation is not owned or otherwise controlled by the Adviser or its affiliates.
In addition, an affiliated company is a company in which a fund has a direct or indirect ownership of, control of, or voting power of 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares, or a company that is under common ownership or control with a fund. At September 30, 2017, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated companies was $1,336,128, which represents 0.45% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated companies by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Small-Cap Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Small-Cap Fund (formerly, Calvert Small Cap Fund) (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2017, and 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 financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Small-Cap Fund as of September 30, 2017, 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Calvert organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.
None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, the Calvert organization may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers.
Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com.
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Calvert organization: the Calvert family of funds and Calvert Research and Management. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, 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 advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, 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 advisor. 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 advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. 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. Each Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 
 
 
 

Economic and Market Conditions
Global stocks delivered strong returns in the 12-month period ended September 30, 2017 behind an extended rally that began with Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.
After lagging early in the 12-month period, U.S. stocks moved sharply higher following President Trump’s election on November 8, 2016. While its effect was broad-based, the rally particularly favored financial stocks, which received another boost in mid-December when the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its benchmark interest rate amid continued economic growth. After a brief pullback in the final weeks of 2016, U.S. equities resumed their advance in the new year. U.S. stocks slipped in March 2017 following the failure of President Trump’s health care bill in Congress. However, stocks quickly regained their upward momentum, advancing steadily despite additional Fed rate hikes in March and June.
U.S. equities retreated in August amid rising geopolitical tensions over North Korea and Hurricane Harvey’s devastation in Texas. Stocks soon resumed their upward trend, with some U.S. indexes reaching record highs in the final month of the period. Energy stocks delivered notable performance in the quarter behind rising oil prices and constricted supplies due to refinery damage from Hurricane Harvey.
Global stocks initially lagged the U.S. rally but rose sharply in the second half of the 12-month period, aided by positive economic indicators across a broad geographic range. National elections in France, Britain and Germany set a new political course for Europe, helping to boost stocks. Reflecting the market gains, a European Union study reported the highest level of economic confidence among businesses and households in more than a decade. Key equity indexes in the Asia-Pacific region also rose during the period despite the North Korea tensions. In the final three months of the period, China’s stock market recorded its best quarterly performance in two years.
For the 12-month period, the MSCI World Index,2 a proxy for global equities, rose 18.17% while reaching multiple all-time highs. The MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities returned 19.10%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 22.46%. In the U.S., the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 25.45%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, gained 18.61%.
Fund Performance - Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (the Fund) had a total return of 17.28% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark,



 

the MSCI All Country World Index (the Index), which returned 18.65% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert Global Energy Research Index, which returned 21.30%.
An overweight to the energy-producer sector, which was the weakest performer of all the energy sectors, and weak stock selection in the sector were the main causes of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index. Many of the holdings in the energy-producer sector are utilities, which tend to underperform in expansionary market cycles. From a regional perspective, the Fund’s stock selection in China and Taiwan produced the weakest results versus the Index. Gigasolar Materials Corp. and Boer Power Holdings Ltd. struggled and had negative returns over the full period. Boer Power Holdings was sold during the period.
Fund stock selection in the energy-technology sector posted mixed returns relative to the Index. Strong performances by Samsung SDI Co. Ltd., of South Korea, and Plug Power, Inc., based in New York, were offset by weaker returns from Gintech Energy Corp., a solar-cell producer, and Gigasolar Materials Corp., a producer of materials for solar cells, both of Taiwan. Samsung SDI Co. Ltd., a battery manufacturer, beat out Panasonic for a contract to provide the battery cells for Tesla’s massive battery storage project in Australia, boosting the stock’s performance during the period. Plug Power specializes in developing alternative energy technology - hydrogen fuel cells - for replacing lead-acid batteries in vehicles and industrial trucks.
The Fund’s solid gains over the period were driven by strong stock selection in energy efficiency and the leader/solution providers sectors. Tanaka Chemical Corp., a top performer in the leader/solution providers sector, is a maker of materials used in rechargeable batteries. Tanaka Chemical continued to benefit from robust end-market demand for a variety of products, ranging from 5G-capable products to energy-efficient battery systems and high-quality batteries.
Within the energy-efficiency sector, Universal Display Corp., of New Jersey, was among the largest contributors to Fund performance versus the Index. Universal Display is a leader in state-of-the-art, organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) technologies and services for the lighting-and-display industries and benefited from a strong position in the growing market for energy-efficient OLED solutions. Tesla, Inc. also positively contributed to Fund performance versus the Index as the total cost of electric car ownership continues to drop and the market increasingly recognizes Tesla’s electro-voltaic infrastructure as an offering that sets the company apart from other automakers.


See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
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 less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE - continued
 
 
 

Fund Performance - Calvert Global Water Fund
For the year ended September 30, 2017, Calvert Global Water Fund (the Fund) had a total return of 12.48% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (the Index), which returned 18.65% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 14.48% return of its secondary benchmark, the Calvert Global Water Research Index.
The Fund’s holdings in the water-utilities sector produced solid returns of more than 10% but were not able to keep up with the broad market, and were the leading performance detractor versus the Index. Within the water-utilities sector, the Fund’s holdings in United Utilities Group plc and Severn Trent plc, both of the U.K., and Guangdong Investment Ltd. of Hong Kong, were the weakest performers during the period.
The Fund’s holdings among the leader/solution providers had mixed results, but overall were unable to keep up with the broad market as well. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., a U.S. company which makes products to test water for microbiological contamination, performed exceptionally well.
However, NIKE, Inc., an industry leader within footwear and apparel in reducing its water footprint, was a significant detractor from Fund performance during the 12-month period. NIKE’s share price fell in the third quarter after the industry’s largest sporting retailers missed expectations and lowered its forward gross-margin guidance. Additional leaders that hurt Fund performance included Kellogg Co. and Hennes & Mauritz AB of Sweden.
In terms of country allocations, the Fund’s positions in China underperformed versus the Index, led by CT Environmental Group Ltd., and China Everbright Water Ltd. China Everbright Water was sold during the period.
The Fund produced solid gains of more than 12%, but strained to keep up with the robust performance of the broad equity market. The Fund’s holdings within water infrastructure were the largest contributors to performance versus the Index. Arcadis NV, the strongest performer overall for the year, is a Dutch engineering and design firm that helps water utilities create innovative solutions for water management, water supply and water reuse. As construction heated up during the year, Polypipe Group plc, a U.K. provider of piping for construction and infrastructure projects, also made a strong contribution.




 

The Fund’s water-technology holdings were the second-largest contributors to returns versus the Index. Calgon Carbon Corp., a Pennsylvania-based water-purification company specializing in activated carbon and filtration technology, gained 60% after announcing it would be acquired by Kuraray Co. Ltd.  Other strong performers in the sector were Outotec Oyj, of Finland, and Badger Meter, Inc. of Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Energy Recovery Inc., of California, another water-technology company, detracted significantly from Fund performance versus the Index. Energy Recovery Inc. was sold during the period.

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 less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S 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, 2017 to September 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the tables 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 tables 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 tables 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 tables 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 10, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates four (4) separate series, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies, which are accounted for separately. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (“Global Energy Solutions”) and Calvert Global Water Fund (“Global Water”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”. The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 250 million shares have been allocated to each of Global Energy Solutions and Global Water.
Each Fund is diversified. The investment objective of Global Energy Solutions is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Energy Research Index. Global Energy Solutions invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is sustainable energy solutions, or that are significantly involved in the sustainable energy solutions sector. The investment objective of Global Water is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Water Research Index. Global Water invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is in the water sector, or that are significantly involved in water-related services or technologies.
Each 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 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year 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 one year of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Class I and Class Y 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 each Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
Each 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.
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 Funds use independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to value their 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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of securities and financial instruments of each Fund to the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and has provided these Procedures to govern the Adviser in its valuation duties.
The Adviser has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated. The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
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 Funds’ 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ investments by major category are as follows:

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT SOLUTION STRATEGIES ANNUAL REPORT 37



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 asked 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 Funds’ 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.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
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 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 fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds 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 condition, 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 Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended September 30, 2017 is not presented. At September 30, 2017, the value of investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year then ended was not significant.
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 each 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 Funds’ 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Funds’ 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.
Restricted Securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 
40 www.calvert.com CALVERT SOLUTION STRATEGIES ANNUAL REPORT



Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
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.
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, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since each 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.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, each Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the respective Funds’ change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in the respective Funds’ net realized gain (loss) on investments.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Each 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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Funds adopted new distribution plans for Class A shares (Class A Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which were approved by the Board and became effective as of December 31, 2016 or shortly thereafter upon approval by the shareholders of the respective class. Pursuant to the Class A Plan and Class C Plan, each Fund pays a distribution fee of 0.25% and 0.75% per annum for Class A and Class C, respectively, and a service fee of 0.25% per annum for Class C of its average daily net assets attributable to such class for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders of each Fund. Pursuant to the Funds’ former distribution plans for Class A shares and Class C shares, each Fund was permitted to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class A and Class C shares not to exceed 0.50% for Class A and 1.00% for Class C of each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class. Effective December 31, 2016, the fees are paid to Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Funds’ principal underwriter. Prior to December 31, 2016, the fees were paid to Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (CID), an affiliate of CIM and the Funds’ former distributor and principal underwriter. Distribution and service fees for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $143,566 and $620,642, respectively, or 0.25% per annum of each Fund’s Class A average daily net assets, of which $105,194 and $451,942, respectively, was paid to EVD and $38,372 and $168,700, respectively, was paid to CID.

The Funds were also informed that EVD received $2,282 and $21,517 for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water, respectively, and CID received $795 and $13,213, respectively, of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the same period.
Effective December 31, 2016, EVM provides sub-transfer agency services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For its services, EVM receives an annual fee of $8 per shareholder account. Prior to December 31, 2016, Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (CIS), an affiliate of CIM, acted as the shareholder servicing agent for the Funds and received a fee at the same rate as is paid to EVM. For the year ended September 30, 2017, sub-transfer agency fees for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water paid to EVM were $41,363 and $79,096, respectively, and shareholder servicing fees paid to CIS were $15,708 and $28,427, respectively.

Committee members received $500 for each Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,500. Committee chairs received an additional annual retainer ranging from $6,000 to $10,000. 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 Funds or other Calvert Funds selected by the Directors. The Funds purchase 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 Funds’ assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert Funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Funds who are employees of CRM and, prior to December 31, 2016, of CIM or their affiliates are/were paid by CRM and CIM, respectively. In addition, in connection with the Transaction, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership.

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of September 30, 2017, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation

$9,274,341


$68,454,666

The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in each of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to wash sales, investments in partnerships, investments in PFICs, deferred Directors’ fees and return of capital distributions from securities.
At September 30, 2017, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had the following capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which would reduce the respective 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 Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration.
The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards, whose character is short-term, and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Funds at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Funds require 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 respective Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar denominated instruments. 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 Funds. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the respective Fund’s and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral is held by the lending agent on behalf of the respective Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the respective Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in each of 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 Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2017, the total value of securities on loan and the total value of collateral received were as follows:

Securities on Loan

$6,829,398


$10,993,548

The carrying amounts of the liabilities for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2017 approximated their fair value. If measured at fair value, such liabilities would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note A) at September 30, 2017.
NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and SSB. Under the agreement, which expires on August 7, 2018, SSB provides an unsecured line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2017, Global Energy Solutions had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit and Global Water had a balance outstanding of $211,866 at an interest rate of 2.48%. 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, 2017. 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 A) at September 30, 2017. Average borrowings and the weighted average interest rate (excluding fees) for the year ended September 30, 2017 for Global Energy Solutions were $42,209 and 2.19%, respectively, and for Global Water were $102,779 and 2.14%, respectively.
NOTE F — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Funds invest a portion of their assets designated for high social impact investments in notes issued by the Calvert Social Investment Foundation (the “Foundation”) pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Funds rely on exemptive relief to invest in the notes because the Funds’ investments in the notes may be considered prohibited transactions between affiliated persons under the 1940 Act. The Foundation may be considered an affiliated person of the Calvert Funds based on the overlap between the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the Calvert Funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. The Foundation has licensed use of the Calvert name from the Adviser, and the Adviser’s President and Chief Executive Officer serves on the Foundation Board. The Foundation is not owned or otherwise controlled by the Adviser or its affiliates.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT SOLUTION STRATEGIES ANNUAL REPORT 45



In addition, an affiliated company is a company in which a fund has a direct or indirect ownership of, control of, or voting power of 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares, or a company that is under common ownership or control with a fund. At September 30, 2017, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated companies for Global Energy Solutions was $1,715,544, which represents 2.0% of the Fund’s net assets and for Global Water was $953,080, which represents 0.2% of the Fund’s net assets.

NOTE H — 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.
The risks of investing in emerging market securities are greater than those of investing in securities of developed foreign countries. These risks include volatile currency exchange rates, periods of high inflation, increased risk of default, greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability, less governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets, weaker auditing and financial reporting standards, lack of liquidity in the markets, and the significantly smaller market capitalization of emerging market issuers.
NOTE I — CONCENTRATION RISK
Global Energy Solutions concentrates its investments in the sustainable energy solutions industry. This industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. The industry can also be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects and tax and other government regulations and policies. Companies in this industry could be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations.
Global Water concentrates its investments in the water industry. This industry can be significantly affected by economic trends or other conditions or developments, such as the availability of water, the level of rainfall and occurrence of other climatic events, changes in water consumption, new technologies relating to the supply of water, and water conservation. The industry can also be significantly affected by environmental considerations, taxation, government regulation (including the increased cost of compliance), inflation, increases in interest rates, price and supply fluctuations, increases in the cost of raw materials and other operating costs, technological advances, and competition from new market entrants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), a series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements 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 financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund as of September 30, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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.

Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.
None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, the Calvert organization may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers.
Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com.
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Calvert organization: the Calvert family of funds and Calvert Research and Management. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, 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 advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, 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 advisor. 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 advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. 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.

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 Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 
 
 
 

Economic and Market Conditions

For the one year period ended September 30, 2017, U.S. investment- grade, fixed income securities advanced slightly overall, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2 inching up 0.07%. U.S. investment-grade, fixed income securities managed to generate a modest positive return, as coupon income more than offset the negative price effects of rising interest rates. However, this relatively temperate return belied the market’s underlying volatility for bond investors.
Leading into the period, remarks by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed), the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan seemed to indicate that interest rates might begin to rise sooner than markets had anticipated. As a result, U.S. Treasury and corporate rates crept upward in the final months of 2016.
In November 2016, the orderly rise in U.S. Treasury yields turned more volatile after Donald Trump’s upset win in the U.S. presidential election. Many believed his plans to lower taxes, increase infrastructure spending and roll back regulations could lead to higher economic growth and inflation expectations, which in turn drove the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield 85 basis points higher during the fourth quarter of 2016. This move was the largest quarterly percentage change in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield in more than five decades. As a result, bond prices tumbled, and the yield curve steepened.
Over the next several months, longer-term interest rates started to reverse course, despite a December 2016 Fed rate hike and two subsequent hikes in 2017. Mixed U.S. economic data, along with worries that President Trump’s pro-business agenda would be delayed and possibly derailed, put downward pressure on long-term rates. As a result, during the first half of 2017, U.S. Treasury and corporate bond prices recovered some of their previous losses. Toward the end of the period, increasing geopolitical tension between the U.S. and North Korea and devastating hurricanes in the U.S. drove investors toward the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys, putting further downward pressure on interest rates. However, market reaction to these events was modest and fleeting.
Late in the period, the Fed appeared poised to continue to gradually raise rates, with one more hike anticipated in 2017 and three in 2018, despite inflation remaining below the central bank’s 2% target level. In addition, in September 2017, the Fed disclosed details of its plan to begin paring back its balance sheet, starting in October 2017 at the modest pace of $10 billion per month.
Despite the sharp rise in U.S. Treasury yields in the fourth quarter of 2016, the 10-year Treasury ended the 1-year period at 2.33%, modestly up from 1.60% at the beginning. Corporate bonds during the period benefited from tighter credit spreads — the yield difference between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasurys of similar maturities. Spread tightening helped corporate bonds outperform U.S. Treasurys over the period, with longer maturity bonds producing the most excess returns. On average, lower quality BBB-rated5 issues notably outperformed higher quality A- and AA-rated bonds during the period. Investment grade corporate spreads also tightened as their yields declined from 1.43% to 1.07% during the 12-month period. Spreads of high-yield issues also tightened as their yields fell from 6.24% at the beginning of the period to 5.53% at the end.
Fund Performance 

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, Calvert Green Bond Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned



 

0.71%, outperforming both the benchmark, Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the Index), which returned 0.63%, and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.07%.
After a weak first fiscal quarter, the Fund outperformed the Index for the remainder of the period. Returns in the U.S. fixed-income market were largely negative in the first fiscal quarter of the period as elevated expectations for growth and inflation following the U.S. presidential election produced a global sell-off. In the first quarter of the period, the Fund’s overweight to the long end of the yield curve, and a longer-than-Index duration,7 largely accounted for underperformance versus the Index as interest rates rose. However, the Fund’s asset allocations provided a positive offset versus the Index, as holdings in investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds benefited from continued narrowing of yields between shorter- and longer-maturity securities.
In the ensuing nine months, low volatility led to sustained, large flows into U.S. fixed-income markets, supporting valuations and enhancing liquidity. In the Fund, out-of-Index allocations to investment-grade, high-yield, government-related and asset-backed securities made strong contributions as yield spreads between short- and long-term securities narrowed. An overweight to longer maturities versus the Index also worked in the Fund’s favor after the first fiscal quarter, as the yield curve flattened.
Within investment-grade corporate bonds, allocations to capital goods were particularly beneficial to Index-relative performance. Within government-related issues, allocations to agencies and municipal sectors contributed most to Index-relative performance. Among the leading contributors were green bonds issued by District of Columbia Water & Sewer Authority, which supports the DC Clean Rivers Project, and Nacional Financiera, SNC, a development banking institution. In asset-backed securities, the Fund’s positions in issuers backed by solar-energy contracts were beneficial. Among investment-grade securities, Xylem, Inc., a water-technology company, and Digital Realty Trust LP, were contributors to Index-relative performance. During the period, green-bond issuance was strong, with $95 billion in new issuance for the full year of 2016, which set a new record since the first labeled green bond was issued in 2007. Issuance in the first nine months of 2017, at $83 billion, was on track to surpass that record. During the period, we continued to increase the Fund’s exposure to new issuers and sought to enhance diversification in the Fund. We continued to seek attractive investment opportunities, both within and beyond the labeled green-bond universe, that meet the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment and the Fund’s green-bond criteria.
As we look ahead, we believe that there is considerable uncertainty about fiscal policy, the composition of the Federal Open Market Committee, and geopolitical issues. In our opinion, there is more room for negative surprises than positive ones. Combined with what we believe are full valuations and peak global liquidity in the fixed-income markets, we think that risk markets8 could be vulnerable to an interruption in their exceptional run. Against this backdrop, at the end of the period, we sought to position the Fund more defensively. We therefore shortened the Fund’s duration, although not dramatically so given our view that growth and inflation will remain low over the long run. We also moved up the quality spectrum to include more short-term, higher-quality bonds in the Fund, favoring highly liquid issues. We believe that this more defensive posture will benefit Fund returns if, as we expect, global monetary tightening challenges expensive valuations.

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 less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund's current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

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 Eaton Vance 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.

2
Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of U.S Treasury Bills with a maturity between one and three months. Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of domestic investment-grade bonds, including corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities. 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.

3
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.

Effective November 6, 2017, Class I shares have an initial investment minimum of $250,000.

4
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/19. 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.


 
5    Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security.

6  Does not include Short Term Investment of Cash Collateral for Securities Loaned.

7  Duration is a measure of the expected change in price of a bond  in percentage terms  given a one percent change in interest rates, all else being constant. Securities with lower durations tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes.

8 Risk asset is a term broadly used to describe any asset that is not a high-quality government bond. A risk market refers to markets in these assets.

Fund profile subject to change due to active management.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 2017 to September 30, 2017).
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.

** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 10, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates four (4) separate series, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies, which are accounted for separately. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of Calvert Green Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue 2 billion shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 250 million shares have been allocated to the Fund.
The Fund is diversified. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, primarily through investments in “green” bonds, which include those issued by companies that develop or provide products or services that seek to provide environmental solutions or that support environmental projects, among others.
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 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I and Class Y 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.
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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of securities and financial instruments of the Fund to the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and has provided these Procedures to govern the Adviser in its valuation duties.
The Adviser has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated. The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality purchased


www.calvert.com CALVERT GREEN BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 19



with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
The Calvert Funds adopted amended Valuation Policies and Procedures effective June 21, 2017. The amended Valuation Policies and Procedures primarily changed from the use of bid price to the mean of the bid and asked price for debt securities and resulted in an increase in the Fund’s NAV per share of $0.01.
Floating Rate Loans. Interests in floating rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
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.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded 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 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 fairly reflects the security’s value, or 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 condition, 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 Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2017, based on the inputs used to value them:

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. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its investments in floating rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
Share Class Accounting: Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Floating Rate Loans: The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange, and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund.
Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. 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.
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.
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.
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.


www.calvert.com CALVERT GREEN BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 21



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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective December 31, 2016, Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), became the investment adviser to the Fund following a transaction between CRM and certain of its affiliates and Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM) and certain of its affiliates, pursuant to which CRM acquired substantially all of the business assets of CIM after satisfying various closing conditions, including shareholder approval of a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and CRM (the “Transaction”).
For its services pursuant to the new investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 31, 2016, CIM, a direct subsidiary of Calvert Investments, Inc. and an indirect subsidiary of Ameritas Holding Company, provided investment advisory services to the Fund. For its services, CIM received a fee at the same annual rate as the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with CRM. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the investment advisory fee amounted to $233,589, of which $182,116 was paid to CRM and $51,473 was paid to CIM.
CRM (CIM for the period October 1, 2016 through December 30, 2016) 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, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.88%, 0.50% and 0.63% (0.85%, 0.50% and 0.63% effective October 1, 2017) for Class A, Class I and Class Y, respectively, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2017, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $88,063 and CIM waived or reimbursed expenses of $29,409.
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 Y and is payable monthly. CRM has agreed to contractually waive 0.02% of the administrative fee through January 31, 2018 for Class I. Prior to December 31, 2016, Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (CIAS), an affiliate of CIM, provided administrative services to the Fund at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, payable monthly. In addition, CIAS contractually waived administrative fees of 0.02% for the period October 1, 2016 through December 30, 2016 for Class I. For the year ended September 30, 2017, CRM was paid administrative fees of $72,846, of which $3,123 were waived and CIAS was paid administrative fees of $20,589, of which $1,148 were waived.
As of December 31, 2016, the Fund has in effect a new distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which was approved by the Board and shareholders of the Fund. 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, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided. Prior to December 31, 2016, the Fund had in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares which permitted the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class A shares not to exceed 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class. The fees were paid to Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (CID), an affiliate of CIM and the Fund’s former distributor and principal underwriter. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $79,752 or 0.25% per annum of Class A’s average daily net assets, of which $61,628 was paid to EVD and $18,124 was paid to CID.
The Fund was informed that EVD and CID received $12,525 and $2,993, respectively, as their portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2017. The Fund was also informed that EVD and CID received $4 and $0, respectively, of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the same period.
Effective December 31, 2016, EVM provides sub-transfer agency services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For its services, EVM receives an annual fee of $8 per shareholder account. Prior to December 31, 2016, Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (CIS), an affiliate of CIM, acted as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund and received a fee at the same rate as is paid to EVM.

annual retainer. Prior to December 31, 2016, each Director of the Fund who was not an employee of CIM or its affiliates received a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $52,000. Committee members received $500 for each Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,500. Committee chairs received an additional annual retainer ranging from $6,000 to $10,000. 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 and, prior to December 31, 2016, of CIM or their affiliates are/were paid by CRM and CIM, respectively. In addition, in connection with the Transaction, 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 four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by CIM and Ameritas Holding Company for a period of up to three years through December 30, 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,045, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the year ended September 30, 2017, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including paydowns and principal repayments on floating rate loans, were $52,741,325 and $28,524,642, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns, were $6,682,196 and $4,712,469, respectively.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was as follows:
 
Year Ended September 30,
 
2017
 
2016

Ordinary income

$1,875,004

 

$1,313,339

Long-term capital gains

$327,621

 
$—

During the year ended September 30, 2017, accumulated undistributed net realized gain was increased by $1,737 and accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,737 due to differences between book and tax accounting for paydown gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2017, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income

$237,553

Undistributed long-term capital gains

$502,359

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$138,909

The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the tax treatment of short-term capital gains and temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to wash sales and futures contracts.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at September 30, 2017, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments

$98,691,243

Gross unrealized appreciation

$668,985

Gross unrealized depreciation
(530,076

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

The average notional cost of futures contracts (short) outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $6,626,000.
NOTE E — 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 (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be 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 State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar denominated instruments. 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 on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral 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, 2017, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $203,047 and the total value of collateral received was $207,900.
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, 2017.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2017 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 A) at September 30, 2017.
NOTE F — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and SSB. Under the agreement, which expires on August 7, 2018, SSB provides an unsecured line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 was paid in connection with the renewal of the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. 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. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2017. Average borrowings and the weighted average interest rate (excluding fees) for the year ended September 30, 2017 were $22,483 and 2.04%, respectively.
NOTE G — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Fund invests a portion of its assets designated for high social impact investments in notes issued by the Calvert Social Investment Foundation (the “Foundation”) pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Fund relies on exemptive relief to invest in the notes because the Fund’s investments in the notes may be considered prohibited transactions between affiliated persons under the 1940 Act. The Foundation may be considered an affiliated person of the Calvert Funds based on the overlap between the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the Calvert Funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. The Foundation has licensed use of the Calvert name from the Adviser, and the Adviser’s President and Chief Executive Officer serves on the Foundation Board. The Foundation is not owned or otherwise controlled by the Adviser or its affiliates.
In addition, an affiliated company is a company in which a fund has a direct or indirect ownership of, control of, or voting power of 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares, or a company that is under common ownership or control with a fund. At September 30, 2017, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated companies was $142,962, which represents 0.15% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated companies by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:

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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Green Bond Fund as of September 30, 2017, 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 four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Calvert organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.
None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, the Calvert organization may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers.
Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com.
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Calvert organization: the Calvert family of funds and Calvert Research and Management. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, 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 advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, 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 advisor. 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 advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. 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.

The registrant undertakes to provide a copy of such code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, by calling 1-800-368-2745.

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.

*Percentage of fees approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to (c )(7)(i)(C ) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. S-X (statutory de minimis
waiver of Committee’s requirement to pre-approve)

(e) The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members. In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance. In addition, the Committee has pre-approved the retention of the auditors to provide tax-related services related to the tax treatment and tax accounting of newly acquired securities, upon request by the investment adviser in each instance.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) Aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant:

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
