CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Series, Inc.
Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
Investment Performance
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014, Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio Class I shares returned 9.60% compared to 13.24% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
The Portfolio’s relative underperformance versus the Russell 1000 Index was due to the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, which is a mix of stocks and bonds, since stocks significantly outperformed bonds during the period. The Portfolio also underperformed the blended return of the Balanced Composite Benchmark, a mix of market indices that more closely reflects the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, which returned 11.14% for the period.
Stock selection hurt the equity portion of the Portfolio relative to the Russell 1000 Index, while a shorter-than-benchmark duration and an allocation to high-yield securities detracted from the fixed-income performance relative to the Barclays U.S. Credit Index.
Investment Climate
In 2014, equity market returns largely reflected broad macroeconomic trends. Improving economic conditions in the United States contrasted starkly with the deteriorating growth outlook for much of the rest of the world, particularly Europe. The dollar strengthened against this backdrop, and was a headwind for emerging markets. Concerns that China's economic slowdown could be headed for a "hard landing" that would negatively impact global economic growth also continued throughout the year.
U.S. stocks far outpaced international stocks in 2014, with the Russell 3000 Index, representing the total U.S. equity market, returning 12.56%, versus -4.48% for the international MSCI EAFE Index, representing the large-cap developed international equity market, and -1.82% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. U.S. large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks; however, small-cap stocks, which are more U.S.-centric and less dependent on global growth, surged in the fourth quarter to help close this gap.
Bonds produced solid gains for the year, with the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index up 5.97%. Longer-maturity Treasury yields fell during 2014. The 10-year Treasury finished at 2.17%, while shorter-maturity Treasury rates rose in anticipation of higher Fed rates in 2015.

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.
* The Balanced Composite Benchmark is an internally constructed index comprised of a blend of 60% Russell 1000 Index and 40% Barclays U.S. Credit Index.
** Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio first offered Class F shares on October 18, 2013. Performance prior to that date reflects the performance of Class I shares. Actual Class F share performance would have been different.
*** Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

High-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.50% for the 12-month period.
Economic Growth in U.S. Outpaces Rest of Developed World
Macroeconomic data showed the U.S. economy regained its footing in 2014 after a weather-induced, disappointing first quarter. With consumer spending picking up and consumer confidence reaching an eight-year high, due in part to lower gas prices, the U.S. economic recovery appeared to be gaining momentum. The job market continued to show signs of improvement after adding an average of 246,000 jobs per month over the course of the year, which helped push the unemployment rate down to 5.6% by year-end. Although wage growth has been taking longer to materialize than in past recoveries, decreases in labor market slack should eventually translate to wage inflation.
Geopolitical Turmoil Intensifies but Oil Moves Lower
Geopolitical turmoil dominated headlines for much of the year with ongoing conflict in the Ukraine and escalating tensions in the Middle East that spurred the U.S. and partners to confront ISIS militarily. Bucking historical trends, oil prices continued to decline despite conflict in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Russia as a combination of growing oil supply from North America and weaker global demand helped push oil prices down.
Countries and regions such as the U.S., Japan, China, and Europe which import a large portion of their energy stand to benefit from the significant decline in the price of oil, while OPEC members and other oil-producers, such as Russia, could continue to be pressured. Pockets of the U.S. economy tied to the shale boom are likely to be negatively impacted as well, but we believe this can be more than offset by the significant positive impact of cheaper input prices and lower gas prices for manufacturers and consumers.
Global Easing Continues Amid Low Inflation Backdrop
The Fed wound down its bond-buying program (QE) throughout the year and expects to begin raising rates in mid-2015; though even with a gradual tightening, monetary policy should still remain accommodative for an extended period of time. In the meantime, global easing initiatives ramped up outside of the U.S. The Bank of Japan announced a massive stimulus policy and a strong QE program is expected from the European Central Bank in early 2015 after economic conditions in the eurozone deteriorated throughout the year. The People’s Bank of China also introduced several easing measures at the end of the year, which fueled a strong rally in Chinese stocks; however, significant concerns over growth in China remain.

Portfolio Strategy
Asset Allocation
Our tactical decision in August 2013 to reduce the Portfolio’s allocation to fixed income and create a small cash position detracted from returns as bonds rallied through most of 2014. However, our modest, but well-timed shifts in the Portfolio’s stock, bond, and cash allocations offset the negative impact from the resulting underweight in fixed income. During the first and second quarters of 2014, following market pullbacks, we tactically re-deployed cash to both equities and fixed income, benefitting the Portfolio as both asset classes advanced through the rest of the period. After equities declined sharply at the end of September and into mid-October, we re-allocated the remaining cash position to equities. The move proved well-timed as stocks rebounded strongly through the end of the year. Tactical asset allocation decisions were implemented through both physical (cash) re-allocations as well as with equity market index and U.S. Treasury futures contracts.
Equity
U.S. large-capitalization stocks posted impressive returns for the period, with the Russell 1000 Index returning 13.24%. While our equity allocation produced double-digit gains, our stock selection detracted from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index. Stock selection was least effective within the Energy and Telecommunications Services sectors, and most effective within Information Technology.
Our sector allocation aided relative performance due to the Portfolio’s low exposure to the worst-performing sector in the Russell 1000 Index, Energy, and a higher exposure to Health Care, the second-best performer in the Index.
Denbury Resources and Target Corporation were the two companies that detracted the most from Portfolio performance. Denbury, an oil and gas company, declined 49% for period.1 The company reduced production guidance during the period and missed analysts’ earnings estimates. Big-box retailer Target performed poorly due to continuing issues from its breach of company data in December 2013, when computer hackers stole customers’ credit card information. In addition, Target’s entry into the Canadian market was not as successful as anticipated.

On the positive side, top performers in the Portfolio included Apple and Amgen. Apple, one of the Portfolio’s largest positions, gained 40% as the company exceeded analysts’ earnings and revenue estimates. Amgen, a biotech firm, had successful results from cholesterol, ovarian cancer, and heart drug trials during the year, which contributed to the company’s 42% return for the 12-month period.
Fixed Income
Throughout the reporting period, the Portfolio navigated a challenging fixed-income climate. The Portfolio’s shorter-than-benchmark duration,2 yield-curve positioning, and allocation to high-yield securities were the key drivers of underperformance.
The market environment was particularly volatile in the second half of the reporting period. In the third quarter of 2014, lower-quality (high yield) bonds struggled relative to Treasuries, causing credit spreads to widen. A spread is the difference in yield between bonds that have the same maturity but different credit quality (e.g., a two-year Treasury and a two-year AA-rated corporate bond).
The Portfolio’s short-duration positioning is a strategy we have maintained as a measure of risk protection against rising interest rates. The yield curve flattened throughout the majority of the year, with short-term interest rates rising and intermediate- and long-term rates falling. The Portfolio’s overall underweight to the long end of the yield curve ultimately detracted from performance.
The Portfolio’s hedging strategy, partially implemented with Treasury futures, which is used to manage interest-rate risk and yield-curve position, did not materially impact performance.
Overall, our fixed-income asset-allocation strategies boosted Portfolio performance and helped offset the lagging performance from high-yield bonds. Our allocation to Banking and Finance was particularly beneficial over the year, as was our position in out-of-benchmark securitized assets.
Outlook
We've been positive on the U.S. economy, especially relative to Europe, since the financial crisis and increasingly so in the last two to three years. Things have been getting progressively better in the U.S. and worse in Europe. We expect this dichotomy to continue for some time because of the eurozone's inability to enact much
 
needed structural economic reforms, although European financial markets might have a temporary rally in the first quarter when the QE measures are announced. On the other hand, GDP numbers in the U.S. have been very healthy and an above consensus GDP growth of 3.5 percent is quite realistic next year absent a repeat of the extreme weather conditions from last year and significant geo-political crises. In the U.S., extreme weather conditions erased about 1% of GDP in the first quarter of 2014. If this is a long-term trend, global markets may be in for a rude awakening.
Since the U.S. economy is relatively well insulated, we think U.S. stocks can post decent performance, but probably not as good as the past couple of years. Although U.S. equities appear fairly-valued based on historical standards, given the positive economic backdrop in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, U.S. stocks could command a premium multiple and further multiple expansion next year is not out of the question.
Countries and regions such as the U.S., Japan, China, and Europe which import a large portion of their energy stand to benefit from the significant decline in the price of oil, while OPEC members and other oil-producers such as Russia could continue to be pressured. Pockets of the U.S. economy tied to the shale boom are likely to be negatively impacted as well, but we believe this can be more than offset by the significant positive multiplier effect from cheaper oil benefiting both consumers and manufacturers. Lower hydrocarbon-based energy prices could challenge the alternative energy industry in the near-term, but we view the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy as inevitable, which reinforces our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) positioning with respect to the alternative energy sector.
Because of the high dollar and low energy prices, inflation in the U.S. will likely remain low with deflationary threats very real in many parts of the world. This may give the Fed pause in how soon and how high they want to raise rates, because global economic conditions can have an impact on the U.S., and it is probably unlikely that we will see robust economic growth outside the U.S. next year.
As a result, the tightening path might wind up taking longer to materialize with rates staying at levels lower than consensus believes. Overall, the divergence in economic conditions should continue to support the dollar which could be another reason to favor U.S. assets.
January 2015

1. Returns reflect the period the holding was in the portfolio.
2. Duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration, the greater the change in value in response to a given change in interest rates.
As of December 31, 2014, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolio net assets: Denbury Resources 0.98%, Target 0%, Apple 4.31%, and Amgen 3.17%. Holdings are subject to change.

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 (July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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.
(p)
Security is in default and is no longer accruing interest. During the year, $8,451 of interest was written off.
(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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP SRI Balanced 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. 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 year. There were no such transfers during the year. 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.

 
22 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT



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.
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 December 31, 2014, securities valued at $0, or 0.0% 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 Statement of Net Assets.
** Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
*** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Total Investments in the Statement of Net Assets, 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 year, the Portfolio used U.S. Treasury futures contracts as a substitute for direct investment in particular asset classes 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 year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.
During the year, the Portfolio invested in 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, 30 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 47 contracts and $3,044,034 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

 
24 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT



the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Portfolio purchases 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 Statement of Net Assets 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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, on the following rates of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets: .41% on the first $500 million, .36% on the next $500 million, and .325% on the excess of $1 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, $123,743 was payable at year end.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to limit net annual fund operating expense for Class F shares. The voluntary expense cap is 1.15%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any. The Advisor voluntarily reimbursed Class F shares expenses of $1,580 for the year ended December 31, 2014. At year end, $1,568 was receivable from the Advisor.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .275% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, $82,998 was payable at year end.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 25




Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class F shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $7 was payable at year end.
Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $25,538 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Under the terms of the agreement, $2,190 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $40,000 ($44,000 effective January 1, 2015). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and short-term securities, were $193,713,092 and $175,483,181, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $139,507,484 and $143,938,756, respectively.
The Portfolio may purchase securities, typically short-term variable rate demand notes, from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes and are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended December 31, 2014, such purchases were $65,926.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from:
2014
 
2013
     Ordinary income

$10,115,276

 

$5,427,086

     Long-term capital gain
19,105,003

 
26,499,895

          Total

$29,220,279

 

$31,926,981

As of December 31, 2014, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$39,342,395

Unrealized (depreciation)
(8,192,257
)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)

$31,150,138

 
 
Undistributed ordinary income

$1,336,203

Undistributed long-term capital gain

$468,280

 
 
Federal income tax cost of investments

$322,693,915

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to Section 1256 contracts and wash sales.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to asset-backed securities and foreign currency transactions.

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. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on December 10, 2014, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI BALANCED PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31



with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Portfolio. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio's performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio's total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014 and above the median for the three-year period ended June 30, 2014. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio's advisory fee was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. The Board also took into account management's discussion of the Portfolio's expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio's Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.

The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio's current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board noted that the Portfolio's advisory fee contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above certain specified asset levels. The Board noted that the Portfolio had not reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its advisory fee would be triggered. The Board also noted that if the Portfolio's assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (d) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance; and (e) the Portfolio's advisory fee is reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP SRI MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Series, Inc.
Managed by New Amsterdam Partners, LLC, Subadvisor
Investment Performance
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2014, Calvert VP SRI Mid Cap Growth Portfolio returned 8.09% versus 11.90% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The Portfolio’s relative underperformance was mainly attributable to its underweight position in Consumer Staples, as well as stock selection in the Energy, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology sectors.
Investment Climate
The U.S. stock market posted another solid year in 2014. The large-cap Russell 1000 Index rose 13.24%, the Russell Midcap Index was up 11.90%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index gained 4.9%. Large-company stocks markedly outperformed their small- company counterparts, with one of the widest spreads in performance in many years. Utility stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) were the year’s performance leaders, as investors sought income in a low-interest-rate environment.
In the United States, economic news continued to improve during 2014. After recovering from a weak first quarter, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of goods and services produced in the country, grew at an annual rate of 5% in the third quarter. Jobless claims and employment statistics improve, and there was a pickup in capital spending. The United States was a standout in the global economy, while Europe continued to stagnate and the growth rate in China and other emerging markets slowed.
Portfolio Strategy
While posting positive absolute returns, we underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the 12-month reporting period. Our emphasis on high-quality companies and disciplined growth-at-a-reasonable price management approach encountered strong headwinds as investors favored lower-quality companies. In addition, the benchmark’s larger-cap stocks outperformed smaller-cap issues. Adhering to a true mid-cap mandate within our investible universe, we tend to invest in stocks with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $9 billion. Currently, more than 20 stocks in the benchmark have market capitalizations greater than $20 billion.
From an attribution perspective, both sector selection and stock selection detracted from relative performance. Our underweight position in Energy added value, but our underweight in Consumer Staples detracted from returns. At the end of the year, the portfolio was overweight in

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.

Information Technology and Utilities, and underweight in Consumer Staples and Energy.
Stock selection was strong in the Health Care, Industrials, and Financials sectors. Health Care holding, Myriad Genetics (+74.4%)1 delivered solid earnings, as well as positive results for its new prostate cancer test. In Industrials, Alaska Air (+52.8%) benefited from robust earnings that owed much to improved cost controls, lower fuel prices, and falling energy commodity prices. AmTrust Financial (+77.3%) advanced on consistently strong earnings, driven, in part by strength in its Workers’ Compensation segment and stabilizing loss ratios. Information Technology holding Synaptics (+32.9%) soared on the announcement of its plans to acquire Rensas SP Drivers, which supplies display chips for Apple devices. In addition, the portfolio benefitted from a heightened lever of merger and acquisition activity this year.
In the Energy, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology sectors, stock selection was weak. Energy company Geospace Technologies (-67.9%) suffered below-consensus earnings when a customer’s financing issues delayed a significant order. SM Energy (-53.5%) lost value as energy commodity prices fell. Consumer Staples holding Inter Parfums (-17.6%) lost ground on lackluster earnings, and Information Technology holding Ubiquiti Networks (-35.2%) fell on disappointing earnings stemming from weakness in emerging markets.
During the reporting period, the portfolio experienced significant turnover. We sold 36 companies and added 37 new positions, holding a total of 43 stocks by year-end. We reduced the portfolio’s exposure to Energy and increased our allocation to Financials. The Portfolio’s strategy remains unchanged. We rely on a valuation model to identify companies with better-than-average growth and profitability potential that are selling at reasonable valuation multiples. We rigorously review the fundamentals of companies that are identified, and apply environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in making final investment selections.
Market Outlook
For 2015, we believe U.S. economic growth will continue in the range of 2.5% to 3%. The sharp drop in oil and other commodity prices will likely keep inflation low and boost consumers’ spending power. Capital spending on energy-related items may drop, however.
We expect the Federal Reserve will pursue tighter monetary policies this year by raising interest rates, while Europe and China are likely to continue to ease their monetary policies in efforts to boost their economies.

This may tie the Fed’s hands, limiting how much it can tighten without jeopardizing U.S. economic growth.
Corporate profits have been robust and we expect to see growth in the mid- to high-single digits, which should provide support for stock prices. In our view, the U.S. stock market’s price-to-earnings ratio is relatively high on a historical basis, but low for comparable periods of low inflation. U.S. equities remain attractive based on our country’s economic strength and status as a ‘safe’ haven relative to other global equity markets.
The main risks to U.S economic health during 2015, in our view, are geopolitical. The precipitate drop in energy prices has had a major effect on Russia and could cause the country to take actions that might destabilize the region. Militants in the Middle East and Africa have the potential to wreak havoc, which could affect oil’s political risk premium. Political upheavals, such as elections in Greece resulting in a loss of eurozone membership, could negatively affect Europe. Also, another recession in Europe and a sharp slowdown in China’s growth rate could threaten U.S. expansion.
It was a challenging environment for our investment approach in 2014; however, we expect the U.S. equity markets to move higher in 2015. We believe that mid-cap stocks continue to be attractive and that high-quality, reasonably-priced companies, like those held in our Portfolio, will be rewarded over full market cycles, as they have been in the past, and are well positioned to benefit from continued U.S. economic growth.

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 (July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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 year. There were no such transfers during the year. 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.

 
14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT



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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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.

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 year. 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.

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are due to wash sales.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to net operating losses.

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. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 10, 2014, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's

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



compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Portfolio. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one-year period; at the median of its peer group for the three-year period and above the median of its peer group for the five-year period ended June 30, 2014. The Portfolio underperformed the Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2014; and outperformed the Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current asset size of the Portfolio and the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21



noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not contain breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified asset levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor's ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio's performance record and the Subadvisor's performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor's personnel; the Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor's risk management processes; the Subadvisor's compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and the subadvisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio's assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance; and (f) the Portfolio's

advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

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

S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
