Investment Climate
The financial markets weathered a rise in geopolitical tensions during the first half of 2014, marked by turmoil in the Middle East and conflict in the Ukraine. Despite these tensions, all major global equity indices posted strong returns over the reporting period, with solid gains in the fixed-income markets as well. The U.S. economic recovery regained its footing after a disappointing first quarter, while easing measures announced by the European Central Bank (ECB) were a welcome development following a string of weaker-than-expected macroeconomic data in the eurozone. Meanwhile, signs that economic growth in China was stabilizing helped emerging-market equities rebound after a rough start to the year. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 7.14%, 7.27%, 3.19%, 5.14%, and 6.32%, respectively.
From an investment-style perspective, domestic large-capitalization stocks outperformed their small-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the period. Looking at sector performance, Utilities, Energy, and Health Care were the top performers within the Russell 1000 Index, while the Consumer Discretionary, Telecommunications Services, and Industrials sectors lagged
In the first three months of 2014, fixed-income investors moved into safer-haven bond markets, with long-maturity U.S. Treasury bonds outpacing U.S. stocks.During the second half of the reporting period, investors stretched for yield, favoring longer maturities, lower credit quality, and more structurally complex bonds. These approaches generally paid off as higher-risk assets and sectors tended to fare well. For the reporting period, the Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 5.70%.
The yield curve flattened notably over the reporting period as investors sought greater yield through longer-maturity bonds. Money-market yields remained very low, pinned down by the Fed’s near-zero interest-rate policy, which is expected to persist well into 2015.
Markets Prove Resilient Despite Geopolitical Tensions
Familiar sources of volatility—geopolitical turmoil and instability in the Middle East—again reared their ugly heads during the first half of the year.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.90%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

As the crisis in Iraq intensified, oil prices spiked in June, but retreated toward month-end following reports that the situation was coming under control. In the past this might have resulted in increased volatility or a sell-off in the equity markets, but this time investors seemed to shrug it off. This was likely due to America having reduced its dependence on foreign energy and investors not perceiving the conflict as being a long-term threat to the supply of oil. At the same time, simmering unrest in the Ukraine lingered throughout the period. But with a relatively remote chance of the situation escalating into a broader regional conflict, market participants again determined the economic impact on global growth would likely be minimal. Overall, renewed confidence that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and central banks around the world would continue to maintain accommodative monetary policies also provided significant support for the global equity and fixed-income markets.
U.S. Macroeconomic Data Rebounds from Winter Doldrums
Rather than focusing on events happening abroad, investors instead fixed their attention on improving U.S. macroeconomic data, and put the first quarter’s negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the rearview mirror, attributing the setback to harsh winter weather. Strong U.S. corporate earnings provided support to equity markets while the labor market continued to show signs of improvement. Jobless claims continued their downward trend and monthly payroll gains have now exceeded 200,000 workers for five consecutive months, pushing the unemployment rate down to 6.1%, the lowest level since September 2008. Other macroeconomic data also pointed to a second-quarter rebound—auto sales continued to rise, Manufacturing PMI1 remained firmly in expansion territory, consumer confidence edged up, and the housing market recovery, an important driver of economic growth, got back on track following a severe winter. Despite this spate of positive U.S. macroeconomic data, one area of concern was sluggish consumer spending, which is likely being held down by low wage growth. However, we believe that U.S. economic growth will accelerate in the coming quarters, allowing for income growth, which should boost both consumer confidence and spending.
Anemic European Economy Spurs ECB to Action
In Europe, European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi announced a series of easing measures at a June monetary policy meeting, with the goal of stimulating growth and fending off deflation. This came on the heels of weaker data in the eurozone as inflation there dropped to 0.5% and GDP grew just 0.2% in the first quarter, while the euro area’s Manufacturing PMI declined to the lowest level since November 2013, with notable declines in

France and Germany. As we have anticipated, it appears European economic recovery will take much longer to materialize than market consensus earlier thought.
China’s Economic Growth Remains a Concern, but Shows Signs of Stabilizing
Investors remained concerned about slowing economic growth in China as the country transitions to a more consumer-oriented economy. A sharp slowdown in China could prove troubling for global markets, especially given the unknown ripple effects on the global economy should the Chinese real estate bubble burst. For now, investors gained comfort in improved manufacturing PMI reports released in June and an expansion of China’s “mini-stimulus” policies. The improving economic backdrop in China also helped propel the rebound in emerging market equities during the second quarter.
Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy to expand slowly, at sub-trend growth rates, as it continues to recover from the financial crisis. Inflation should remain low and we expect gradual labor market improvement to continue. During an election year, we believe there should be little economic drag from restrictive fiscal policy. Although economic growth may be slower than usual for this stage in the cycle, it should still prove robust.
Concerns about subdued emerging-market growth and geopolitical turmoil have effectively injected more risk into the global markets, with investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities. In the short term, this has been positive for U.S. Treasuries and bond-fund inflows. However, from a longer-term perspective, bond prices are likely to come under greater pressure as the Fed continues to wind down its asset purchase program.
We expect the Fed will continue to focus on maintaining positive U.S. economic growth and will adjust the pace at which it tapers quantitative easing (QE) accordingly. As we have maintained for some time, a key consideration in the Fed's strategy remains the U.S housing market, which is a chief driver of U.S. economic growth. As a result, we don’t expect to see much interest-rate volatility in the near term. Having said that, time will continue to work against low rates as the long-term trajectory has nowhere else to go but up.

Overall, we believe global economic growth will continue to move ahead slowly, supported by favorable central bank policies, and these conditions will continue to provide a favorable underpinning for both the equity and fixed-income markets for the balance of 2014. U.S. equities will probably not repeat the banner year they had in 2013, but there is no reason not to expect another positive—though less spectacular—year for stocks in 2014.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 line 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 line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual 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 the 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. Therefore, the second line 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.

(b) This security was valued under the direction of the Board of Directors. See Note A.
(d) 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 period end. 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.
(e) 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.
(r) The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities represents the rate at period end.
(x) Alliance Bancorp and its affiliates filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on July 13, 2007. This security is no longer accruing interest.

Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan expenses, while Class I shares are not. 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.
Security 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 Portfolio 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 other 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 assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.
Calvert 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 illiquid securities and other 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.
The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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 Portfolio’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. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, floating rate loans, sovereign government bonds, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which


www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23




quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or 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. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, 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 the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
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.     
At June 30, 2014, securities valued at $794,500, or 0.2% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

* For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
** Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
*** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Total Investments in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, as a substitute for direct investment in a particular asset class to facilitate rebalancing of the Portfolio, or to provide market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk and market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of interest rates and the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing 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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio. During the period, the Portfolio used U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate changes, to manage overall duration of the Portfolio, and to implement tactical asset allocation decisions. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
During the period, the Portfolio invested in 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, and Ultra U.S. Treasury Notes and Bond futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 81 contracts and $6,582,690 weighted average notional value.
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Portfolio’s investments 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 Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Portfolio generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Portfolio purchases


www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25




assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Portfolio 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.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions 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 or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Schedule of Investments footnotes on page 19.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees, and prepayment fees. 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 arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio 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 generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 income and expenses 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Investment Climate
Equity markets weathered a rise in geopolitical tensions during the first half of 2014, marked by turmoil in the Middle East and conflict in the Ukraine. Despite these tensions, all major global equity indices posted strong returns over the reporting period. The U.S. economic recovery regained its footing after a disappointing first quarter, while easing measures announced by the European Central Bank (ECB) were a welcome development following a string of weaker-than-expected macroeconomic data in the eurozone. Meanwhile, signs that economic growth in China was stabilizing helped emerging-market equities rebound after a rough start to the year. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 7.14%, 7.27%, 3.19%, 5.14%, and 6.32%, respectively.
From an investment-style perspective, domestic large-capitalization stocks outperformed their small-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the period. However, small-caps began to reverse this trend in June and should benefit from continued economic recovery and increasing merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the United States as the year wears on. Looking at sector performance, Utilities, Energy, and Health Care were the top performers within the Russell 1000 Index, while the Consumer Discretionary, Telecommunications Services, and Industrials sectors lagged.
Equity Markets Prove Resilient Despite Geopolitical Tensions
Familiar sources of volatility—geopolitical turmoil and instability in the Middle East—again reared their ugly heads during the first half of the year. As the crisis in Iraq intensified, oil prices spiked in June, but retreated toward month-end following reports that the situation was coming under control. In the past this might have resulted in increased volatility or a sell-off in the equity markets, but this time investors seemed to shrug it off. This was likely due to America having reduced its dependence on foreign energy and investors not perceiving the conflict as being a long-term threat to the supply of oil. At the same time, simmering unrest in the Ukraine lingered throughout the period. But with a relatively remote chance of the situation escalating into a broader regional conflict, market participants again determined the economic impact on

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.15%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

global growth would likely be minimal. Overall, renewed confidence that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and central banks around the world would continue to maintain accommodative monetary policies also provided significant support for U.S. and global equity markets.
U.S. Macroeconomic Data Rebounds from Winter Doldrums
Rather than focusing on events happening abroad, investors instead fixed their attention on improving U.S. macroeconomic data, and put the first quarter’s negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the rearview mirror, attributing the setback to harsh winter weather. Strong U.S. corporate earnings provided support to equity markets while the labor market continued to show signs of improvement. Jobless claims continued their downward trend and monthly payroll gains have now exceeded 200,000 workers for five consecutive months, pushing the unemployment rate down to 6.1%, the lowest level since September 2008. Other macroeconomic data also pointed to a second quarter rebound—auto sales continued to rise, Manufacturing PMI1 remained firmly in expansion territory, and consumer confidence edged up. The housing market recovery, an important driver of economic growth, also got back on track with second-quarter data indicating a pick-up in housing activity, which had been suppressed by the severe weather conditions. Despite this spate of positive U.S. macroeconomic data, one area of concern was sluggish consumer spending, which is likely being held down by low wage growth. However, we believe that U.S. economic growth will accelerate in the coming quarters, allowing for income growth, which should boost both consumer confidence and spending.
Anemic European Economy Spurs ECB to Action
In Europe, European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi announced a series of easing measures at a June monetary policy meeting, with the goal of stimulating growth and fending off deflation. This came on the heels of weaker data in the eurozone as inflation there dropped to 0.5% and GDP grew just 0.2% in the first quarter, while the euro area’s Manufacturing PMI declined to the lowest level since November 2013, with notable declines in France and Germany. As we have anticipated, it appears European economic recovery will take much longer to materialize than the market has anticipated to date.
China’s Economic Growth Remains a Concern, but Shows Signs of Stabilizing
Investors remained concerned about slowing economic growth in China as the country transitions to a more consumer-oriented economy. A sharp slowdown in China could prove troubling for global markets, especially given the unknown ripple effects on the global economy should

the Chinese real estate bubble burst. For now, investors gained comfort in improved manufacturing PMI reports released in June and an expansion of China’s “mini-stimulus” policies. The improving economic backdrop in China also helped propel the rebound in emerging market equities during the second quarter.
Outlook
We continue to believe that this cycle of economic recovery will be more protracted than usual given the depth and severity of the financial crisis that preceded it. Consistent with that and recognizing that this protracted cycle will continue to be characterized by very slow rates of improvement, we think the U.S. economy has largely recovered and is now going through an expansion phase. What this may mean going forward is that economic growth may continue to be slower than usual for this stage in the cycle, but it should still prove robust.
Concerns about subdued emerging-market growth and geopolitical turmoil have effectively injected more risk into the global markets, with investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities. In the short term, this has been positive for U.S. Treasuries and bond-fund inflows. However, from a longer-term perspective, bond prices are likely to come under greater pressure as the Fed continues to wind down its asset purchase program.
We expect the Fed will continue to focus on maintaining positive U.S. economic growth and will adjust the pace at which it tapers quantitative easing (QE) accordingly. As we have maintained for some time, a key consideration in the Fed's strategy remains the U.S housing market, which is a chief driver of U.S. economic growth. As a result, we don’t expect to see much interest-rate volatility in the near term. Having said that, time will continue to work against low rates as the long-term trajectory has nowhere else to go but up.

Overall, we believe global economic growth will continue to move ahead slowly, supported by favorable central bank policies, and these conditions will continue to provide a favorable underpinning for the equities markets, with the U.S. markets in the strongest position. U.S. equities will probably not repeat the 30-40% banner year they had in 2013, but as the U.S. economy continues to strengthen, there is no reason not to expect another positive—though less spectacular—year for stocks in 2014.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 line 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 line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual 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 the 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. Therefore, the second line 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP SRI Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Series, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of two separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security 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 Portfolio 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 other 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 assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.
Calvert 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 illiquid securities and other 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.
The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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 Portfolio’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. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or 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. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.


www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 13




Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, 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 the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
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.
At June 30, 2014, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

* For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio 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 generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.


14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 income and expenses 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
