INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide a total return which exceeds the total return of the Russell 1000 Index over a market cycle.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Calvert mutual funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and under “Choosing a Share Class” on page 94 and “Reduced Sales Charges” on page 98 of the Fund’s Prospectus, and under “Method of Distribution” on page 46 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

1 Purchases of Class A shares at net asset value for accounts with $1,000,000 or more on which a finder’s fee has been paid by the Fund’s distributor are subject to a one-year contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80%.  
2 The contingent deferred sales charge decreases over time.
 
3 The investment advisor has agreed to contractually limit direct net annual fund operating expenses for Class Y to 1.07% through January 31, 2016. Only the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio may terminate the Portfolio’s expense limitation before the contractual period expires, upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:
•
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or hold your shares at the end of those periods;
•
your investment has a 5% return each year;
•
the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same; and
•
any Calvert expense limitation is in effect for the period indicated in the fee table above.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (“turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the “Example”, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 68% of its portfolio’s average value. 



 
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS JANUARY 31, 2015 1


INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund employs an active investment strategy and invests primarily in the common stocks of U.S. large-cap companies that meet the Fund’s investment criteria, including financial, sustainability and social responsibility investment factors. The Fund’s investment process seeks to add value by using the Advisor’s fundamental, quantitative, and macro-economic research and analyses while integrating the Advisor’s proprietary views on material environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) information as part of its risk and opportunity assessment. The portfolio construction process seeks to maximize the benefit of these insights while managing the Fund’s risk profile relative to its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, and minimizing transaction costs. The Fund may sell a security when it no longer appears attractive under this process.
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in the equity securities (common stock) of large capitalization companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ notice before changing this 80% policy.
The Fund defines large-cap companies as those whose market capitalization falls within the range of the Russell 1000 Index at the time of investment. As of December 31, 2014, the market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index ranged from $275.0 million to $647.4 billion with a weighted average level of $117.0 billion. Although primarily investing in large-cap U.S. companies, the Fund may also invest in mid-cap and small-cap companies. The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.
Responsible Investing. In conjunction with Calvert’s financial analysis, Calvert’s comprehensive responsible investment principles guide our investment research processes and decision-making. The principles are applied across industries and to specific companies in order to inform our view of risk and opportunity factors that may affect investment performance.
Principal Risks
You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform, because of the risks described below. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Management Risk. Individual investments of the Fund may not perform as expected, and the Fund’s portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result.
Stock Market Risk. The market prices of stocks held by the Fund may fall.
Common Stock Risk. Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition, on overall market and economic conditions, and on investors’ perception of a company’s well-being.
 
Large-Cap Company Risk. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk. Prices of small-cap and mid-cap stocks can be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. Small-cap and mid-cap companies are more likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources and less depth of management than larger companies.
Foreign Securities Risk. 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.
Foreign Currency Risk. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall.
ESG Strategy Risk. The ESG strategies used by an investment manager may fail to produce the intended result. In addition, information used to evaluate the ESG performance of issuers and industries may not be readily available, complete, or accurate, which could negatively impact both the investment manager's application of ESG standards and Fund performance.
Responsible Investing Risk. Investing primarily in responsible investments carries the risk that, under certain market conditions, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in a broader array of investments. The application of responsible investment principles may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show the Fund’s annual returns and its long-term performance, which give some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Class A shares has varied from year to year. The table compares the Fund’s performance over time with that of a benchmark and a peer average. The performance reflected in the bar chart and table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.
The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. For updated performance information, visit www.calvert.com.
Performance results for Class Y shares prior to April 30, 2013 (the Class Y shares’ inception date) reflect the performance of Class A shares at net asset value. Actual Class Y share performance would have been higher than Class A share performance because Class Y has lower class-specific expenses than Class A.


   
2 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS JANUARY 31, 2015

The return for each of the Fund’s other Classes of shares will differ from the Class A returns shown in the bar chart, depending upon the expenses of that Class. The bar chart does not reflect any sales charge that you may be required to pay upon purchase or redemption of the Fund’s shares. Any sales charge will reduce your return.

The average total return table shows the Fund’s returns with the maximum sales charge deducted, and no sales charge has been applied to the indices used for comparison in the table.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to you if you hold your Fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account. The return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than the return before taxes because the calculation assumes that shareholders receive a tax benefit for capital losses incurred on the sale of their shares. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares; after-tax returns for other Classes will vary.
