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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
 
 
 
 
 
1
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class C, Class I and 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.
3
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/18. 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.
4
SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
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. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.
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 (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 (January 1, 2017 to June 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads). 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 have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2016.
** Absent an allocation of certain expenses to an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Management Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 20, 1980, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Such shares may be issued in a number of different series and classes. The Trust operates two (2) 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 Tax-Free Responsible Impact Bond Fund (the “Fund”).
The investment objective of the Fund, which is diversified, is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund invests primarily in municipal bonds whose issuers operate in a manner consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares. Class A shares are generally sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained with the Fund’s principal distributor or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, 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 have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1 million. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived in certain other instances where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter to offer Class Y shares to their clients, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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 Trustees (“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)

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT TAX-FREE RESPONSIBLE IMPACT BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19



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 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 to align them with valuation policies used by other funds managed by the Adviser. 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 $0.027.
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 June 30, 2017, based on the inputs used to value them:

20 www.calvert.com CALVERT TAX-FREE RESPONSIBLE IMPACT BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Interim Financial Statements: The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2017 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the investment advisory fee amounted to $250,766.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.80%, 1.55%, 0.45% and 0.55% for Class A, Class C, 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 April 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $104,733.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y and is payable monthly. CRM has agreed to contractually waive 0.02% of the administrative fee through April 30, 2018 for each class. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, CRM was paid administrative fees of $85,977, of which $14,329 were waived.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT TAX-FREE RESPONSIBLE IMPACT BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21



The Fund has in effect a 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. Pursuant to the Class A Plan and Class C Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, 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 to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $158,217 and $4,812 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
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. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 sub-transfer agency fees and expenses amounted to $9,341 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee 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. Eligible Trustees 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 Trustees. 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. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert Funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert Funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company for a period of up to three years through December 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,719, 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $7,370,991 and $12,612,328, respectively.
At December 31, 2016, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards of $6,629,505 and deferred capital losses of $33,079,613 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The capital loss carryforwards will expire on December 31, 2018 and their character is short-term. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at December 31, 2016, $385,527 are short-term and $32,694,086 are long-term.
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. Losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2017, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments

$136,496,438

Gross unrealized appreciation

$6,416,731

Gross unrealized depreciation
(995,247)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$5,421,484

NOTE D — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A summary of futures contracts outstanding at June 30, 2017 is included in the Schedule of Investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes and to manage overall duration of the Fund.
At June 30, 2017, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was as follows:

The average notional cost of futures contracts–short outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $13,961,853.
NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB). Under the agreement, which expires on August 8, 2017, 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. At June 30, 2017, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $669,657 at an interest rate of 2.47%. 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 June 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 June 30, 2017. Average borrowings and the weighted average interest rate (excluding fees) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $141,399 and 2.25%, respectively.
On August 8, 2017, the financing agreement was renewed through August 7, 2018, at substantially the same terms.
NOTE F — REGULATORY MATTERS
On October 18, 2016, CIM announced that it had determined that certain fees paid to third-party financial intermediaries were incorrectly allocated for payment by, and paid by, the Calvert Funds. Specifically, for periods prior to January 1, 2015, the Calvert Funds paid fees under certain intermediary agreements that were primarily for distribution-related services or were in excess of the sub-transfer agency expense cap in place during the period and therefore should have been paid by CIM out of CIM’s own assets or by the Calvert Funds under a Rule 12b-1 plan. The matter was self-reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2016.
On May 2, 2017, in acceptance of a settlement proposal by CIM and Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (CID), the Calvert Funds’ former principal underwriter, the SEC issued an administrative order requiring CIM and CID to pay $21,614,534 to affected shareholders of the Calvert Funds, including the Fund's shareholders. Such payments are expected to commence on or about April 27, 2018. The administrative order also censured CIM and CID and required them to pay a $1 million penalty to the SEC.

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.

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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
 
 
 
 
 
1
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. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
3
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/18. 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.
4  SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
5  Does not include Short Term Investment of Cash Collateral for Securities Loaned.

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 (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 (January 1, 2017 to June 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads). 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 have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2016.
** Absent an allocation of certain expenses to an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
(a) Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. Total market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $45,655,449, which represents 44.4% of the net assets of the Fund as of June 30, 2017.
(b) The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate in effect on June 30, 2017.
(c) Multi-step coupon security. The interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on June 30, 2017.
(d) Security, or portion of security, is on loan. Total value of securities on loan is $179,450 as of June 30, 2017.
(e) Remaining maturities of floating rate loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined at a margin above the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other short-term rates. The rate shown is the rate in effect at June 30, 2017. Floating rate loans are generally considered restrictive in that the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive consent from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to disposition of a floating rate loan.
(f) This Loan will settle after June 30, 2017, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Management Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 20, 1980, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Such shares may be issued in a number of different series and classes. The Trust operates two (2) 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 Unconstrained Bond Fund (the “Fund”).
The investment objective of the Fund, which is diversified, is to seek positive absolute returns over a full market cycle, regardless of market conditions. The Fund invests primarily in bonds and/or instruments that provide exposure to bonds, including debt securities of any maturity.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares. Class A shares are generally sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained with the Fund’s principal distributor or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, 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 have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1 million. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived in certain other instances where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter to offer Class Y shares to their clients, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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 Trustees (“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)

 
21 www.calvert.com CALVERT UNCONSTRAINED BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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 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 to align them with valuation policies used by other funds managed by the Adviser. 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 $0.014.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior 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 value listed reflects unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as shown in the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. 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.
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

 
23 www.calvert.com CALVERT UNCONSTRAINED BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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.
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.
Interim Financial Statements: The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2017 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the investment advisory fee amounted to $161,977.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.10%, 1.85%, 0.65% and 0.85% for Class A, Class C, 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 April 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $9,273.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y and is payable monthly. CRM has agreed to contractually waive 0.02% of the administrative fee through April 30, 2018 for Class I. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, CRM was paid administrative fees of $55,535, of which $5,780 were waived.
The Fund has in effect a 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. Pursuant to the Class A Plan and Class C Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, 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 to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $23,222 and $4,530 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $2,048 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
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. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses amounted to $3,089 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee 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. Eligible Trustees 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 Trustees. 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. Trustees’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert Funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT UNCONSTRAINED BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24



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 Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert Funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company for a period of up to three years through December 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,204, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE E — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending 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

 
25 www.calvert.com CALVERT UNCONSTRAINED BOND FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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 June 30, 2017, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $181,339 and the total value of collateral received was $185,745.
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 June 30, 2017.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 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 June 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 8, 2017, 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 borrowings pursuant to this line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
On August 8, 2017, the financing agreement was renewed through August 7, 2018, at substantially the same terms.
NOTE G — CAPITAL SHARES
At June 30, 2017, Calvert Conservative Allocation Fund and Calvert Moderate Allocation Fund owned 22.7% and 29.0%, respectively, of the value of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

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.
