Investment Performance

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value returned -1.68% versus 0.39% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. The underperformance was primarily due to adverse stock selection in the Financials sector.

Investment Climate

The past 12 months witnessed continued positive economic growth but at a slowing pace, exacerbated by domestic political gridlock and European Union financing pains. The overriding U.S. economic concern was the high unemployment rate, which started the year at 9.4% and ended at a still high 8.6%. This kept a lid on inflation but also prevented the federal government from seriously attacking the budget deficit. In the meantime, GDP growth hovered around 2% for most of the year.

The combination of high unemployment and low economic growth collided as Congress was unable to pass yet another debt ceiling increase this past July and the White House began scrambling to increase employment and economic growth. However, Congress rebuffed notions of putting the country further into debt for a short-term economic boost.

Unfortunately, Europe’s fiscal woes were far worse. The euro ties many European nations together and restricts the ability of the weaker countries to devalue their currency to boost economic growth. Germany and France continued to defend the common currency, despite resistance from their citizens about supporting the more profligate partners. In the end, Europe continued to postpone a feasible solution to the mounting debt of the weak nations (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain).

But Europe’s economic slowdown isn’t the only issue for the United States. The uncertain impact that a potential default by one of these countries could have on our domestic financial institutions is problematic as well. In the meantime, gold soared to more than $1,600 an ounce due to concern about the creditworthiness of many currencies.

A March earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear plant explosion in Japan increased that country’s demand for oil. Germany, Switzerland, and Italy subsequently began to reduce their usage of nuclear energy, which further pressured petroleum demand. The political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa also kept energy prices elevated throughout the year.

Portfolio strategy

Overall, as the markets swayed from fears of a new recession to optimism about an imminent rebound, we used the volatility to reduce holdings during rallies and increase positions during sell-offs. PNC

Financial was one of three new holdings over the past year. We believe it is a high-quality financial institution with a solid yield that we expect to rebound as Financials recover. However, Bank of New York Mellon was sold as it seemed tighter regulations would make its foreign currency trading much less profitable.

We added Lowe’s because it has begun to slow store growth and should benefit from an eventual rebound in home construction and remodeling. We also purchased Ebay, which should benefit from more mobile consumer purchasing and financing.

However, Walgreens, Discover Financial, Anadarko Petroleum, Motorola Solutions, and Travelers Insurance were sold after their values rebounded. But after a subsequent decline, we repurchased Travelers and sold it again at a nice discount to book value. We also sold Nokia before it announced that its technology ecosystem would need radical alterations, and we sold Motorola Mobility after Google offered to acquire the company for cash at a substantial premium.

Detractors from Performance

The Portfolio’s three most significant detractors from performance were the Financials, Telecommunications Services, and Utilities sectors. As the worst-performing sector for the year, Financials hurt the most. Poor sub-sector allocation further dampened performance.

In fact, seven of the 10 worst performers came from Financials, including Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Hartford Financial Services, MetLife, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Alliance Bernstein.

Frontier Communications was the primary reason Telecommunication Services detracted from performance. The holding stumbled throughout the year due to continued revenue weakness as it worked to integrate assets acquired from Verizon. This was partially offset by avoiding the wireless telecommunication services sub-sector.

An underweight to Utilities also hurt performance, as did a lack of exposure to the multi-utilities, gas utilities, and water utilities sub-sectors. However, this was partially offset by an overweight to electric utilities, with Duke Energy a top 10 contributor to returns.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 5


 

Contributors to Performance

The Fund’s top three performance contributors were Consumer Staples, Energy, and Materials. An overweight to the Consumer Staples sector and food & staples retailing sub-sector helped, particularly holdings in Wal-Mart and CVS Caremark.

Wal-Mart outperformed in the fourth quarter, as its return to the “everyday low price” strategy helped improve same-store sales. CVS Caremark gained from market uncertainties surrounding a dispute between Walgreens and Express Scripts and the latter’s pending merger with Medco. Coca-Cola also added value.

An overweight to the outperforming Energy sector also helped as crude oil jumped as high as $113 per barrel during the year. In fact, three of the top 10 contributors were Energy holdings--Marathon Oil, Spectra Energy, and ExxonMobil.

Superior stock selection in Materials also added value, including an overweight in Newmont Mining. As gold prices soared during the second half of the year, investors flocked to Newmont, which began offering a dividend linked to the price of gold.

Outlook

The U.S. economy has begun to recover, although at too slow a pace to reduce either the deficit or the unemployment rate. The combination of a revitalized automobile sector and a housing sector that is beginning to stabilize also bodes well for economic growth. Unemployment, an excess supply of housing, and concerns about Europe’s financial situation are keeping the Federal Reserve in stimulus mode. And, given the upcoming elections, the time to reduce unemployment and promote economic growth at all costs is now. Therefore, we believe equities are in a much more favorable position than fixed-income securities.

The equity market revival, economic recovery, and low yields for fixed-income securities should draw investors back to the stock market, finally producing some much-needed additional demand. As equity investors, we plan to remain diversified among sectors, investing with the expectations of returning cost inflation and rising interest rates while staying fully invested to benefit from strengthening economic recovery.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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: The Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliate 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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. 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 are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments In securItIes level 1 level 2 level 3 total
Equity securities* $115,011,108 $115,011,108
Other debt obligations $2,082,688 2,082,688
TOTAL $115,011,108 $2,082,688 $117,093,796

 

*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 or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) (formerly known as Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc. (“Calvert”) (formerly known as Calvert Group, Ltd.), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI 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, of .64% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $63,170 was payable at year end. In addition, $298 was receivable at year end from the Advisor for reimbursement of operating expenses paid during December 2011.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2012. The contractual expense cap is .76% (.74% prior to May 1, 2011). For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $9,885 was payable at year end.

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 $30,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $22,651,409 and $65,186,003, respectively.

Capital loss carryforwards    
 
Expiration Date    
31-Dec-15 ($953,081 )
31-Dec-17 (28,392,460 )
31-Dec-18 (8,033,097 )

 

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however the Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards acquired from CVS Ameritas Income & Growth Portfolio may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax characters of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follow:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $2,640,184 $2,397,775
Total $2,640,184 $2,397,775

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $12,240,785  
Unrealized (depreciation) (23,071,471 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($10,830,686 )
Undistributed ordinary income $672,504  
Capital loss carryforward ($37,378,638 )
Federal income tax cost of investments $127,924,482  

 

www.      calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 18

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales and partnerships.

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 partnerships.

Undistributed net investment income ($3,566 )
Net realized gain (loss) 34,223  
Paid-in capital (30,657 )

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Portfolio considers 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

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) are also 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24


 

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-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the recent improvement in 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 (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were also below 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio and management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio and the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size 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.

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) appropriate action is being taken with respect to performance of the Portfolio; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Portfolio’s advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. 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 S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the one-year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio returned 1.73% compared to a return of 2.11% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. The Portfolio’s underperformance is largely attributable to fees and operating expenses which the Index does not incur.

Investment climate

Equity markets were mixed in 2011, with large cap stocks outperforming small cap stocks. Generally, equity markets performed well during the first half of the year. However, a growing financial crisis in Europe and the potential for global recession pushed stocks lower during the second half. The Standard and Poor’s downgrade of the AAA credit rating for the U.S., a failed fiscal process in Washington, and political unrest in the Middle East added fuel to the fire. Volatility increased substantially and a flight to quality characterized the second half of the year.

Central banks in both the U.S. and Europe continue to use accommodative monetary policy as politicians attempt to solve the debt problems plaguing many sovereign nations. Against that backdrop, domestic economic activity improved slightly during the year, with relatively strong corporate profits and balance sheets.

Portfolio strategy

As an index fund, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Index includes 500 of the largest companies in the U.S. with a total equity market capitalization of over $11 trillion and is widely accepted as a proxy for the performance of U.S. markets.

  Average annual total return  
  (period ended 12.31.11)  
One year 1.73 %
Five year -0.54 %
Ten year 2.53 %

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.46%. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 4


 

Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index were Utilities (19.9%), Consumer Staples (14.0%), and Health Care (12.7%). The worst performing sectors included Financials (-17.0%), Materials (-9.7%), and Industrials (-0.6%).

At year end, the S&P 500 Index had the heaviest investments in the Information Technology (19.0%) and Financials (13.4%) sectors. Other sectors of significant weight included Energy (12.3%), Health Care (11.8%), and Consumer Staples (11.5%). The portfolio had the lowest exposure to companies in Telecommunication Services (3.2%) and Materials (3.5%).

The Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the S&P 500 Index. The Portfolio fully replicates the Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. The S&P 500 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in the Index is not possible. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2011, the Portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.

Outlook

The outlook for 2012 is for a modest increase in U.S. economic growth and a sluggish global economy. Domestic corporate earnings and balance sheets appear to be healthy. Interest rates should remain low, as central banks around the world maintain an accommodative stance until economic growth improves. The unemployment rate is likely to fall but will probably remain at abnormally high levels.

However, the risk to this outlook is clearly skewed toward the downside. It is unclear if Europe can solve its financial problems without large scale defaults or debt restructuring. A recession in Europe appears likely at this point, and the depth and length of that potential recession is unknown. Furthermore, it is not clear whether Europe’s problems will be contained to Europe or if they will spread to other parts of the world, causing a global recession.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.40%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 U.S. government 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments in securities level 1 level 2 level 3 total
Equity securities* $247,589,651 $247,589,651
Exchange traded funds 6,751,900 6,751,900
U.S. government obligations $999,945 999,945
Other debt obligations 2,642,574 2,642,574
TOTAL $254,341,551 $3,642,519 $257,984,070
 
Other financial instruments** $68,631 $68,631

 

*      For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
**      Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected 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. 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, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 26


 

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Index Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 6 contracts and $4,042,855 weighted average notional value.

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 Portfolio is informed of 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however the Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards acquired from CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryfor-wards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2011   2010
Ordinary income $ 4,208,185 $ 3,260,092
Long term capital gain   8,187,629   6,140,094
Total $ 12,395,814 $ 9,400,186

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $64,854,756  
Unrealized (depreciation) ($43,409,372 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $21,445,384  
 
Undistributed ordinary income $1,104,336  
Capital loss carryforward ($12,270,191 )
Federal income tax cost of investments $236,538,686  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales, real estate investment trusts, Section 1256 contracts, and capital loss carryovers subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 29


 

and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary pemanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to real estate investment trusts and expired capital losses.

Undistributed net investment income ($47,750 )
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 1,008,326  
Paid-in capital (960,576 )

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) are also 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 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 the Advisor’s 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35


 

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 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 at the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011, above the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2011 and below the median of its peer group for the five-year period ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2011 and underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 36


 

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, 2011 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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.

CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (Class I) returned -2.24% compared with -1.73% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) MidCap 400 Index. The Portfolio’s underperformance is largely attributable to fees and operating expenses which the Index does not incur.

Investment Climate

Equity markets were mixed in 2011, with large cap stocks outperforming small cap stocks. Generally, equity markets performed well during the first half of the year. However, a growing financial crisis in Europe and the potential for global recession pushed stocks lower during the second half. The Standard and Poor’s downgrade of the AAA credit rating of the U.S., a failed fiscal process in Washington, and political unrest in the Middle East added fuel to the fire. Volatility increased substantially and a flight to quality characterized the second half of the year.

Central banks in both the U.S. and Europe continue to use accommodative monetary policy as politicians attempt to solve the debt problems plaguing many sovereign nations. Against that backdrop, domestic economic activity improved slightly during the year, with relatively strong corporate profits and balance sheets.

Portfolio Strategy

As an index fund, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Index includes 400 mid-sized companies that have an average market capitalization of $2.7 billion.


 Average Annual Total Return  
 (period ended 12.31.11)      
  Class I   Class F  
One Year -2.24 % -2.47 %
Five year 2.71 % 2.50 %*
Ten year 6.39 % 6.18 %*

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.59%. 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.

* Class F share performance prior to October 1, 2007 is based on Class I performance, adjusted to reflect Class F expenses.

At year end, the S&P MidCap 400 Index was most heavily invested in Financials (20.6%) and Industrials (16.6%). Other sectors of significant weight included Information Technology (15.2%), Consumer Discretionary (13.0%), and Health Care (10.1%). The Index had the lowest exposure to Telecommunication Services (0.5%) and Consumer Staples (4.2%).

Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the S&P MidCap 400 Index were Consumer Staples (22.2%) and Utilities (16.7%). The worst performing sectors included Information Technology (-11.6%), Telecommunication Services (-9.8%), and Energy (-9.6%).

The Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Portfolio fully replicates the Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in the Index is not possible. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2011, the Portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.

Outlook

The outlook for 2012 is for a modest increase in U.S. economic growth and a sluggish global economy. Domestic corporate earnings and balance sheets appear to be healthy. Interest rates should remain low, as central banks around the world maintain an accommodative stance until economic growth improves. The unemployment rate is likely to fall but will probably remain at abnormally high levels.

However, the risk to this outlook is clearly skewed toward the downside. It is unclear if Europe can solve its financial problems without large scale defaults or debt restructuring. A recession in Europe appears likely at this point, and the depth and length of that potential recession is unknown. Furthermore, it is not clear whether Europe’s problems will be contained to Europe or if they will spread to other parts of the world, causing a global recession.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, securities valued at $10 or 0.00% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 22


 

or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 U.S. government 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of suf-ficient 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments In securities   level 1   level 2   level 3     total
Equity securities** $ 177,798,959   $ 10   $ 177,798,969
Exchange traded funds   973,194         973,194
U.S. government obligations   $ 299,983       299,983
Other debt obligations     1,183,033       1,183,033
TOTAL $ 178,772,153 $ 1,483,016 $ 10 * $ 180,255,179
 
Other financial instruments*** $ 25,036       $ 25,036

 

*Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
 
**For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected 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. 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, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 23


 

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, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 400 Index and E-Mini S&P 500 Index Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 12 contracts and $374,748 weighted average notional value.

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. 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 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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 24


 

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) (formerly known as Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc. (“Calvert”) (formerly known as Calvert Group, Ltd.), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI 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, of .30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $45,744 was payable at year end. In addition, $15,522 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2011.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2012. The contractual expense cap is .55% and .79% for Class I and Class F, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $15,248 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”) (formerly known as Calvert Distributors, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay CID for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.20% annually of average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $283 was payable at year end.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 25


 

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $231 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, $19 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 $30,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $30,171,343 and $54,562,453, respectively.

Capital loss carryforward    
 
Expiration date    
31-Dec-15 ($7,650,555 )
31-Dec-16 (5,197,845 )

 

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however the Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards acquired from CVS Ameritas MidCap Growth and CVP MidCap Value Portfolios may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $1,292,809 $1,232,884
Total $1,292,809 $1,232,884

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $28,908,029  
Unrealized (depreciation) (16,411,281 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $12,496,748  
 
Undistributed ordinary income $351,488  
Undistributed long term capital gain $1,596,160  
Federal income tax cost of investments $167,758,431  
   

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 26

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales, real estate investment trusts, return of capital distributions, Section 1256 contracts, and capital loss carryovers subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

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 real estate investment trusts.

Undistributed investment income ($251,901 )
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 251,901  

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:

  WEIGHTED   MONTH OF
AVERAGE AVERAGE MAXIMUM MAXIMUM
DAILY INTEREST AMOUNT AMOUNT
BALANCE RATE BORROWED BORROWED
$2,585 1.48% $265,959 March 2011

 

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE F — REORGANIZATION

On December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert VP Mid Cap Value Portfolio (“Mid Cap Value”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (“S&P MidCap 400”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Mid Cap Value. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 15, 2011 and the reorganization took place on April 29, 2011.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 27


 

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares: 

         Acquiring    
Merged Portfolio Shares Portfolio Shares Value
MID CAP VALUE 1,085,126   S&P MIDCAP 400, CLASS I 259,610 $19,913,400

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by S&P MidCap 400 were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Mid Cap Value were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of S&P MidCap 400’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
  Net Appreciation Acquiring Net
Merged Portfolio Assets (Depreciation) Portfolio Assets
MID CAP VALUE $19,913,400 $5,195,860     S&P MIDCAP 400 $196,338,740

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2011, S&P MidCap 400’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $1,573,736   (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments ($5,856,432 ) (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations ($4,282,696 )

 

Because S&P MidCap 400 and Mid Cap Value sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Mid Cap Value that have been included in S&P MidCap 400’s Statement of Operations since April 29, 2011.

(a)      $1,587,728 as reported, plus ($13,992), from Mid Cap Value pre-merger.
(b)      ($7,654,650) as reported, plus $1,798,218 from Mid Cap Value pre-merger.

On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Ameritas MidCap Growth Portfolio (“Ameritas MidCap”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (“S&P MidCap 400”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Ameritas MidCap. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 28


 

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

Merged portfolio Shares Acquiring portfolio Shares Value
AMERITAS MIDCAP 1,607,954    S&P MIDCAP 400, CLASS I 648,641 $40,248,159

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by S&P MidCap 400 were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Ameritas Midcap were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of S&P MidCap 400’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
 Merged Net appreciation Acquiring Net
 portfolio assets (depreciation) portfolio assets
AMERITAS MIDCAP $40,248,159 $5,524,697 S&P
MIDCAP 400
$117,174,063

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, S&P MidCap 400’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $ 1,460,750 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments $ 35,644,107 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $ 37,104,857  

 

(a)      $1,418,684, as reported, plus $42,066 from Ameritas MidCap pre-merger.
(b)      $30,852,606, as reported, plus $4,791,501 from Ameritas MidCap pre-merger.

Because S&P MidCap 400 and Ameritas MidCap sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Ameritas MidCap that have been included in S&P MidCap 400’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Portfolio considers 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

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) are also 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 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 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, includ-

ing, 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three-and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three-and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was at the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvi-sor’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. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitabil-ity of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 36


 

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, 2011 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor.

CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio returned 3.02% compared with 3.66% for the Nasdaq 100 Index. The Portfolio’s underperformance is largely attributable to fees and operating expenses which the Index does not incur.

Investment Climate

Equity markets were mixed in 2011, with large cap stocks outperforming small cap stocks. Generally, equity markets performed well during the first half of the year. However, a growing financial crisis in Europe and the potential for global recession pushed stocks lower during the second half. The Standard and Poor’s downgrade of the AAA credit rating for the U.S., a failed fiscal process in Washington, and political unrest in the Middle East added fuel to the fire. Volatility increased substantially and a flight to quality characterized the second half of the year.

Central banks in both the U.S. and Europe continue to use accommodative monetary policy as politicians attempted to solve the debt problems plaguing many sovereign nations. Against that backdrop, domestic economic activity improved slightly during the year, with relatively strong corporate profits and balance sheets.

PortfolIo Strategy

As an index fund, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The Index includes 100 of the largest and most actively traded non-financial domestic and international companies. The average market capitalization of the companies in the Index is roughly $27 billion, which is larger than the $24 billion average market capitalization of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.68%. 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 Nasdaq 100 were Consumer Staples (9.7%), Health Care (7.6%), and Consumer Discretionary (6.0%). The worst performing sectors were Industrials (-10.2%), Materials (-4.5%), and Telecommunication Services (-0.4%).

At year end, the Nasdaq 100 Index had the heaviest investments in Information Technology (67.0%), Consumer Discretionary (15.4%), and Health Care (11.4%) companies. It had the lowest exposure to companies in the Materials (0.3%), Telecommunications Services (1.2%), and Consumer Staples (2.2%) sectors.

The Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The Portfolio fully replicates the Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. The Nasdaq 100 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in the Index is not possible. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2011, the Portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.

Outlook

The outlook for 2012 is for a modest increase in U.S. economic growth and a sluggish global economy. Domestic corporate earnings and balance sheets appear to be healthy. Interest rates should remain low, as central banks around the world maintain an accommodative stance until economic growth improves. The unemployment rate is likely to fall but will probably remain at abnormally high levels.

However, the risk to this outlook is clearly skewed toward the downside. It is unclear if Europe can solve its financial problems without large scale defaults or debt restructuring. A recession in Europe appears likely at this point, and the depth and length of that potential recession is unknown. Furthermore, it is not clear whether Europe’s problems will be contained to Europe or if they will spread to other parts of the world, causing a global recession.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 15


 

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 U.S. government 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of suf-ficient 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.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments in securities level 1 level 2 level 3 total
Equity securities* $52,283,455 $52,283,455
Exchange traded funds 524,802 524,802
U.S. government obligations $199,989 199,989
Other debt obligations 985,612 985,612
TOTAL $52,808,257 $1,185,601 $53,993,858
 
Other financial instruments** $1,256 $1,256

 

*For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

**Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

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 Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

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. 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, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 16


 

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, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini NASDAQ 100 Index Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 5 contracts and $381,481 weighted average notional value.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) (formerly known as Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc. (“Calvert”) (formerly known as Calvert Group, Ltd.), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI 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 affili-ates.

For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $4,572 was payable at year end.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $12,981,762 and $21,866,132, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2011 2010
Ordinary income $154,259 $104,669
Long term capital gains 2,793,152 -
Total $2,947,411 $104,669

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $10,675,809  
Unrealized (depreciation) (2,285,614 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $8,390,195  
 
Undistributed ordinary income $35,289  
Undistributed long term capital gain $2,613,651  
Federal income tax cost of investments $45,603,663  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales and Section 1256 contracts.

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only.

A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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) are also 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 affili-ates 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

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 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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 size of the Portfolio. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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, 2011 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP Russell 2000 Index Portfolio (Class I) provided a return of -4.89% compared with -4.18% for the Russell 2000 Index. The Portfolio’s underperformance is largely attributable to fees and operating expenses which the Index does not incur.

Investment Climate

Equity markets were mixed in 2011, with large cap stocks outperforming small cap stocks. Generally, equity markets performed well during the first half of the year. However, a growing financial crisis in Europe and the potential for global recession pushed stocks lower during the second half. The Standard and Poor’s downgrade of the AAA credit rating for the U.S., a failed fiscal process in Washington, and political unrest in the Middle East added fuel to the fire. Volatility increased substantially and a flight to quality characterized the second half of the year.

Central banks in both the U.S. and Europe continue to use accommodative monetary policy as politicians attempted to solve the debt problems plaguing many sovereign nations. Against that backdrop, domestic economic activity improved slightly during the year, with relatively strong corporate profits and balance sheets.

Portfolio Strategy

As an index fund, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. The Index includes approximately 2,000 small companies with an average market capitalization of approximately $661 million, which is signifi-


Average annual total return  
(period ended 12.31.11)      
  Class I   Class F  
One year -4.89 % -5.07 %
Five year -0.45 % -0.65 %
Ten year 4.97 % 4.77 %*

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.82%. 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.

cantly smaller than the $24 billion average market capitalization of companies in the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index.

Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the Russell 2000 Index were Utilities (16.9%), Consumer Staples (7.8%), and Health Care (1.7%). The worst performing sectors included Materials (-11.7%), Energy (-8.2%), Information Technology (-7.3%), and Consumer Discretionary (-7.1%).

At year end, the Russell 2000 Index was most heavily invested in Financials (23.2%) and Information Technology (14.7%) companies. Other sectors of significant weight included Consumer Discretionary (14.3%) and Producer Durables (14.1%). The Index had the lowest exposure to companies in the Consumer Staples (3.2%), Utilities (4.5%), and Telecommunications Services (0.8%) sectors.

The Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Russell 2000 Index. The Portfolio fully replicates the Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. The Russell 2000 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in the Index is not possible. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2011, the Portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.

Outlook

The outlook for 2012 is for a modest increase in U.S. economic growth and a sluggish global economy. Domestic corporate earnings and balance sheets appear to be healthy. Interest rates should remain low, as central banks around the world maintain an accommodative stance until economic growth improves. The unemployment rate is likely to fall but will probably remain at abnormally high levels.

However, the risk to this outlook is clearly skewed toward the downside. It is unclear if Europe can solve its financial problems without large scale defaults or debt restructuring. A recession in Europe appears likely at this point, and the depth and length of that potential recession is unknown. Furthermore, it is not clear whether Europe’s problems will be contained to Europe or if they will spread to other parts of the world, causing a global recession.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, securities valued at $16 or 0% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 55


 

or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 U.S. government 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments in securities level 1 level 2 level 3   total
Equity securities** $93,794,058 $16   $93,794,074
Exchange traded funds 257,915   257,915
U.S. government obligations $399,978   399,978
Other debt obligations 2,364,320   2,364,320
TOTAL $94,051,973 $2,764,298 $16 * $96,816,287
 
Other financial instruments*** $35,960   $35,960

 

*    Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

**  For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the instrument.

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 Portfolio is informed of 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. 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 class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

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. 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, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in 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, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini Russell 2000 Index Futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 8 contracts and $1,218,881 weighted average notional value.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $8,189 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”) (formerly known as Calvert Distributors, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay CID for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .20% annually of average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,112 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $208 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, $18 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $18,814,094 and $43,432,490, respectively.

Capital loss carryforward

Expiration date    
31-Dec-16 ($352,882 )

 

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however the Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards acquired from CVS Ameritas Small Company Equity Portfolio may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $511,839 $590,299
Long term capital gain 3,476,000
Total $3,987,839 $590,299

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 59


 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $17,404,135  
Unrealized (depreciation) (17,159,003 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $245,132  
Undistributed ordinary income $191,359  
Undistributed long term capital gain $4,052,538  
Capital loss carryforward ($352,882 )
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $96,571,155  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, undistributed capital gains, partnerships, Section 1256 contracts, and capital loss carryovers subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

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 pemanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to real estate investment trusts, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies and undistributed capital gains.

Undistributed net investment income ($148,286 )
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 147,858  
Paid-in capital 428  

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:

  WEIGHTED   MONTH OF
AVERAGE AVERAGE MAXIMUM MAXIMUM
DAILY INTEREST AMOUNT AMOUNT
BALANCE RATE BORROWED BORROWED
$9,457 1.41% $929,534 May 2011

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE F — REORGANIZATION

On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provided for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Ameritas Small Company Equity Portfolio (“Small Company Equity”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., Russell 2000 Index Portfolio (“Russell 2000 Index”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Small Company Equity. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares::

         Acquiring    
Merged portfolio Shares portfolio Shares Value
Small Company Equity 645,127 Russell 2000 Index 198,367 $11,427,947

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Russell 2000 Index were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Small Company Equity were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Russell 2000 Index’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized    
  Net appreciation Acquiring Net
Merged portfolio assets (depreciation)      portfolio assets
Small Company Equity $11,427,947 $2,350,797 Russell 2000 Index $76,346,665

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, Russell 2000 Index’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $ 713,408 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments $ 24,594,209 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $ 25,307,617  

 

Because Russell 2000 Index and Small Company Equity sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Small Company Equity that have been included in Russell 2000 Index’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.

(a)      $729,564, as reported, plus ($16,156) from Small Company Equity pre-merger.
(b)      $23,156,500, as reported, plus $1,437,709 from Small Company Equity pre-merger.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Portfolio considers 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code and $3,476,000 of the long term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividend in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

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) are also 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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 68


 

the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. 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-, three- and five--year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the portfolios in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitabil-ity of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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, 2011 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by World Asset Management, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (Class I) returned -12.71% during 2011.

Its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE Index), returned -11.73% for the same period. The underperformance was largely attributable to fund expenses and the partial withholding of dividends by local tax authorities.

Investment Climate

International markets in 2011 saw enhanced risk and reduced return on European sovereign debt and equities, as well as a crisis of confidence in the euro currency, which negatively impacted global economies. Stock markets in Greece, Italy, and Portugal suffered heavily under new political pressure to implement fiscal austerity programs. As this issue came to the forefront in mid-July, international equity markets receded approximately 20% from their highs.

The stock market rebound in developed European nations and North America during the 4th quarter helped recover much of the loss, but it still wasn’t enough to bring international equities back to break-even.

Investment Strategy

As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index. In pursuit of this objective, the fund employs a passive management approach and uses sampling techniques to reduce transaction costs. In addition, cash flows into the fund were invested promptly to minimize their impact on total return.

The MSCI EAFE Index held shares in 22 countries at the end of 2011. Almost one-half of the

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I Shares 1.07%. 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.

* Class F share performance prior to December 17, 2007 is based on Class I performance, adjusted to reflect Class F expenses.

Index was invested in Japan and the U.K., which accounted for 21.6% and 23.3% of the benchmark’s holdings, respectively. The strongest returns for the year came from Ireland, New Zealand, and the U.K. Financially weak Greece and Austria were the worst performing countries in the Index, returning -62.7% and -36.0%, respectively.

At year end, the Index had the greatest exposure to companies in the Financials sector, which comprised 21.4% of holdings. It also had significant exposure to Industrials (12.5%) and Consumer Staples (11.5%).

During 2011, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Since the EAFE Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. Net asset value (NAV) rounding also may have contributed to the difference between the fund’s return during the year and the return of the EAFE Index. NAV rounding occurs because mutual fund prices are carried out only to two decimal places.

Industrials 12.2 %
Information Technology 4.7 %
Materials 10.0 %
Telecommunication Services 5.7 %

Total 100 %

 

In addition, the Portfolio’s performance was affected by dividend withholding in some countries. In some instances, a substantial portion of the dividends owed to investors may be withheld by a country’s tax collecting entity. Sometimes the withheld amounts can be recovered, though often they cannot be.

Outlook

We are cautious on the international outlook for 2012. There are plenty of concerns, in particular how Europe deals with the fragmented fiscal decision making, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, China’s economic problems, and the impact of U.S. domestic policy decisions on both fiscal and monetary issues.

On the other hand, there is a new realization of the problems in Europe and a broad, aggressive sense of urgency to solve them. Given the attractive valuations in major European equity markets, any reduction in risk levels of sovereign credit default swaps could strengthen the euro and improve equity market conditions for 2012.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the finan-cial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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. Foreign securities are valued

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 32


 

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. The Portfolio has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments in securities level 1 level 2 level 3 total
Equity securities* $125,891,439 $125,891,439
Exchange traded funds 1,439,738 1,439,738
Other debt obligations $657,165 657,165
TOTALS $127,331,177 $657,165 $127,988,342
 

 

*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by country, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.

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 Portfolio is informed of 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. 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 class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 33


 

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) (formerly known as Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc. (“Calvert”) (formerly known as Calvert Group, Ltd.), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI 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, of .56% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $60,769 was payable at year end. In addition, $31,689 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2011.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 34


 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2012. The contractual expense cap is .97% and 1.17% (.95% and 1.15% prior to May 1, 2011) for Class I and Class F, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $10,852 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”) (formerly known as Calvert Distributors, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay CID for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .20% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,087 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $207 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, $17 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 $30,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $42,457,173 and $77,567,118, respectively.

Capital loss carryforward        
  Pre-enactment     Post-enactment  
Expiration date          
31-Dec-15 ($186,055 ) Short-term  
31-Dec-16 (15,302,273 ) Long-term ($987,699 )
31-Dec-17 (15,978 )      

 

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however the Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards acquired from CVS Calvert Social International Equity Portfolio may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. These losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 35


 

that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $3,330,882 $2,179,306
Total $3,330,882 $2,179,306

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $10,518,688  
Unrealized (depreciation) (18,296,087 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($7,777,399 )
 
Unidistributed ordinary income $554,434  
Capital loss carryforward ($16,492,005 )
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $135,765,741  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.

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 pemanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies, redemptions in kind, and distributions paid in connection with the redemption of taxpayers’ shares.

Undistributed investment income ($1,174,994 )
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 5,499,894  
Paid-in capital (4,324,900 )

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:

  WEIGHTED   MONTH OF
AVERAGE AVERAGE MAXIMUM MAXIMUM
DAILY INTEREST AMOUNT AMOUNT
BALANCE RATE BORROWED BORROWED
$128,243 1.40% $7,877,110 June 2011

 

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE F — REORGANIZATION

On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Calvert Social International Equity Portfolio (“International Equity”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., EAFE International Index Portfolio (“EAFE”) and the assumption of the liabilities of International Equity. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

    Acquiring    
Merged portfolio Shares   portfolio Shares Value
International Equity 1,006,852 EAFE 157,015 $10,969,047

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by EAFE were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from International Equity were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of EAFE’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 37


 

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    Unrealized      
  Net appreciation   Acquiring Net
Merged portfolio assets (depreciation)   portfolio assets
International Equity $10,969,047 ($16,862)   EAFE $86,948,835

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, EAFE’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $ 2,589,152 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments $ 15,480,042 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $ 18,069,194  

 

Because EAFE and International Equity sold and redeemed shares throughout the year, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of International Equity that have been included in EAFE’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.

(a)      $2,566,722 as reported, plus $22,430 from International Equity pre-merger.
(b)      $15,617,852 as reported, plus ($137,810) from International Equity pre-merger.

NOTE G — IN-KIND TRANSFER OF SECURITIES

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio redeemed shares of beneficial interest in exchange for securities. The securities were transferred at their current value on the date of transaction.

    Redeemed  
Transaction date Shares value Gain (loss)
11/9/2011 353,253 $23,187,479 ($4,263,869)

 

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)

The Portfolio considers $3.20 per share as income derived from foreign sources and $.25 per share as foreign taxes paid for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011.

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) are also 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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 44


 

other changes. 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 that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of Portfolio expenses and fair valuation determinations on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitabil-ity of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 45


 

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, 2011 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Subadvisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. 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 was not a material factor 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, although the Board noted that the subadvisory fee included breakpoints that would reduce the subadvisory fee on assets above certain specified asset levels.

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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio provided a return of 8.39%. This compares to a 7.84% return for the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to match the performance of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. Because of the large number of securities in the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, the portfolio uses a stratified sampling approach to create a portfolio of securities with similar characteristics to the index. The portfolio outperformed the index in 2011 primarily due to minor overweights and underweights in sectors, duration, and individual securities throughout the year, as a result of using a stratified sampling approach.

Investment Climate

Fixed income markets performed well in 2011, as interest rates declined substantially. The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to be supportive by initiating “Operation Twist,” as it is known. The objective of the Fed was to decrease long term interest rates and flatten the shape of the yield curve. In addition to the Fed’s efforts, the market experienced a flight to quality during the second half of the year, as investors sought protection against a looming financial crisis in Europe. The combination of the Fed’s efforts and the flight to quality drove interest rates to multi-year lows. By year’s end, the 10-year Treasury rate declined from 3.29% to 1.88%, which provided an excellent return for fixed income investors for the year. Interest rates at the front end of the yield curve also remained extremely low, with the two-year Treasury closing the year at a yield of 0.24%.


Average Annual Total Return

One year 8.39 %
Five year 6.66 %
Since inception(3.31.03) 4.98 %

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.53%. 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.

Treasury bonds provided the best return within the index, recording a return of 9.81%. Corporate bonds also performed well, providing a return of 8.15%. Mortgage-backed securities performed the worst of all the major sectors of the index, providing a return of 6.23% for the year.

Portfolio Strategy

As an index fund, the Portfolio’s strategy is purely passive. Its goal is to mirror, as closely as possible, the performance of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. Full replication of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is not feasible, as the index includes just under 8,000 securities. Therefore, the Portfolio employs a stratified sampling strategy to track the performance of the Index. Stratified sampling requires the portfolio manager to select securities in each sector of the portfolio to represent sectors in the index. These securities are selected to closely match the characteristics of the index, such as duration, sector allocation, quality, and others.

Outlook

The outlook for 2012 is for a modest increase in economic growth in the U.S. and a sluggish global economy. Corporate earnings and balance sheets appear to be healthy, and the housing market appears to be stabilizing. Inflation appears to be moderate, and the Fed continues to promote an accommodative monetary approach. This environment should be supportive for fixed income markets in 2012. However, if the economy strengthens quickly or inflation pressures materialize, interest rates may increase as the Federal Reserve is forced to withdraw liquidity from the marketplace.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Barclays Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Barclays Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Barclays Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: The Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (or the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold 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 Trustees 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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, sovereign government bonds, 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 17


 

type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which 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.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

    VALUATION INPUTS
Investments In securItIes*   level 1   level 2 level 3   total
Asset-backed securities   $140,247 $140,247
Commercial mortgage-backed securities     2,746,735   2,746,735
Corporate debt     32,045,553   32,045,553
Exchanged traded funds $771,750     771,750
Other debt obligations     464,062   464,062
U.S. government obligations     131,717,944   131,717,944
TOTAL $771,750 $167,114,541 $167,886,291

 

* For a complete listing of investments, 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 or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 18


 

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $80 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, $7 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and short-term securities, were $74,791,802 and $30,625,701, respectively. U.S. government security purchases and sales were $42,892,783 and $25,898,685, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $4,902,345 $2,395,314
Long term capital gain 194,495 139,155
Total $5,096,840 $2,534,469

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $8,178,541  
Unrealized (depreciation) (227,770 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $7,950,771  
Undistributed ordinary income $952,502  
Undistributed long term capital gain $95,890  
Federal income tax cost of investments $159,935,520  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 20


 

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.

Undistributed net investment income $363,097  
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (363,097 )

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2011.

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) are also 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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26


 

other changes. 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the five-year period ended June 30, 2011 and underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the composition of the peer universe against which the Portfolio was being measured. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was at the median of its peer universe and that total expenses were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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 size of the Portfolio and the relatively small range in total expense ratios among the funds in the Portfolio’s peer universe. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor. 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, 2011 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio returned 10.41% compared with 13.56% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPs) Index.

The primary cause of the underperformance was exposure to floating-rate notes and corporate fixed income securities, which underperformed TIPs during the period and were not held by the Index. However, the Portfolio outperformed the Lipper VA General U.S. Government Funds Average, which returned 10.05% for the year.

Investment Climate

Fixed income markets performed well in 2011, as interest rates declined substantially. The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to be supportive, initiating “Operation Twist”to decrease long-term interest rates and flatten the shape of the yield curve. The market also experienced a flight to quality during the second half of the year, after Standard & Poor’s downgraded U.S. government debt rating and evidence mounted of a looming financial crisis in Europe.

The combination of these events drove interest rates to multi-year lows, with the 10-year Treasury note’s yield declining from 3.29% to 1.88% during the year. Interest rates at the front end of the yield curve also remained extremely low, as the two-year Treasury note closed the year with a yield of 0.24%.

Inflation increased in 2011 as the economy recovered modestly. The rate of inflation,

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.82%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, was 3.0%, versus a rate of 1.5% in 2010. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, advanced at a rate of 2.2% in 2011, up from 0.8% in 2010.

The difference between the yields on a 10-year Treasury note and a 10-year TIPs bond was 1.98% at year end. At the end of 2010, the difference was 2.32%. The tightening of this spread implies that investors’ expectations of future inflation decreased during 2011.

The Portfolio primarily invests in TIPs and floating-rate securities, although it also invests in fixed-rate corporate and agency bonds. Throughout 2011, the portfolio maintained an intermediate duration, slightly shorter than the Index, due to the combination of longer-dated TIPs, floating-rate notes, and intermediate corporate and agency bonds. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movements.

TIPs are intended to protect against changing inflation expectations, while we expect the floating-rate securities to provide greater income during times of inflation. The Portfolio may also selectively invest in fixed-rate securities that have the potential to increase portfolio returns in stable markets.

Outlook

The outlook for inflation-protected securities depends heavily on the rate of future inflation. While the rate of inflation increased in 2011, the inflation picture overall appears benign due to material slack in the labor market, a possible slowdown in Europe, continued sluggishness in the housing market, and the lack of pricing power for most of corporate America.

That said, central banks in both the U.S. and Europe continue to monetize their debts, which may lead to higher inflation in the longer term. If economic growth accelerates in the U.S. and abroad, inflation in the intermediate to long term may become more of a concern to the marketplace as well, and will impact the performance of inflation-protected securities.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold 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 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. 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 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 are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2011:

  VALUATION INPUTS
Investments In securities* level 1   level 2 level 3   total
U.S. government obligations $33,722,140 $ $33,722,140
Corporate debt   28,030,072   28,030,072
Other debt obligations   842,374   842,374
TOTAL $62,594,586 $ $62,594,586

 

*For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities: The Portfolio invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation. Interest is accrued based on the adjusted principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to inflation principal income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Portfolio’s distributions.

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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities is accrued as earned. 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.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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 $30,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. Government securities, were $41,485,663 and $12,673,066, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $4,747,203 and $4,758,346, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  2011 2010
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $1,376,461 $772,255
Long term capital gain 187,023 175,050
Total $1,563,484 $947,305

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $4,769,152  
Unrealized (depreciation) (467,279 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $4,301,873  
 
Undistributed ordinary income $211,622  
Undistributed long term capital gain $11,975  
Federal income tax cost of investments $58,292,713  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales and treasury inflation protected securities.

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) are also 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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 affili-ates 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the

www.      calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23

 

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 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 performance of the Portfolio was above the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011 and below the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2011 and underperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account the Portfolio’s more recent performance. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the differences in the investment strategies used by the funds in the Portfolio’s peer group that also affect relative performance, and measures the Subadvisor was implementing to enhance the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) 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. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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 size of the Portfolio. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24


 

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- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of 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 objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio returned -10.13% compared with 2.11% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. The Portfolio’s concentrated holdings in the commodity and natural resource sectors caused the underperformance as the Index has a more diversified allocation of holdings across industry sectors. The Portfolio modestly underperformed a custom benchmark of 50% S&P North America Natural Resources Index and 50% DJ-UBS Commodity Total Return Index, which returned -9.94% for the period.

Investment Climate

Investor sentiment was generally negative for commodities and natural resources during 2011. A fear of worldwide recession, led by a slowdown in Europe and China, caused many commodity prices to decline during the year. Stocks of materials companies in particular suffered significant declines. The price of natural gas also fell during the year, although crude oil prices improved slightly. While gold rallied from a flight to quality, gold stocks did not follow suit.

Energy generating companies were one of the few bright spots, primarily because of their stable dividend yield. The improved domestic economic environment helped cushion price decreases. But global economic concerns, coupled with a stronger dollar in the latter part of the year, continued to pressure the commodity and natural resource sector.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.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 www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.42%. 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.

Portfolio Strategy

As a “fund-of-funds,” the Portfolio invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and notes (ETNs) that track various commodity, natural resource, raw materials, and utility indices. It is constructed to maintain broad exposures to a wide variety of commodities and natural resources.

During 2011, the Portfolio’s holdings remained fairly stable. The only changes were an increase in its exposure to the energy sector, and slight decreases in its exposure to forestry, materials, and utilities. The Portfolio’s largest holdings were in the energy (40%) and materials (24%) sectors. It also had exposure to metals (11%), grains (8%), and forest products (4%), as well as water, utilities, real estate, and soft goods.

Outlook

Europe appears to be headed for a recession, while the U.S. appears to be recovering. Asia continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace. Current monetary policy in the U.S., Europe, and possibly China should be supportive of pricing. However, prolonged strength in the U.S. dollar would temper price gains. Since commodity and natural resource prices will likely follow the growth of the global economy in 2012, the outlook is mixed.

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, 2011 to December 31, 2011).

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.

The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 nine separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes (the “Underlying Funds”) representing different natural resources exposures.

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 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 of Directors.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At December 31, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows.

Exchange traded funds and notes are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

*For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

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 regulation.

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.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Portfolio’s financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) (formerly known as Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc. (“Calvert”) (formerly known as Calvert Group, Ltd.), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI 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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2012. The contractual expense cap is .77% (.75% prior to May 1, 2011). For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) (formerly known as Calvert Administrative Services Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio. For its services, CIAS receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $4,128 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $80 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, $7 was payable at year end.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $25,041,979 and $13,349,005, respectively.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13


 

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2011 2010
Ordinary income $159,240 $125,966
Total $159,240 $125,966

 

As of December 31, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $276,288  
Unrealized (depreciation) (2,948,938 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($2,672,650 )
 
Undistributed ordinary income $478,678  
Undistributed long term capital gain $741,354  
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $51,464,723  

 

The differences between the 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 wash sales and partnerships.

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 distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, 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 partnerships.

Undistributed net investment income ($33,814 )
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 33,814

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) are also 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.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio 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 affili-ates 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 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 the Advisor’s 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 discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

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 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the limitations on the passive and active benchmarks against which the Portfolio’s performance was measured as well as the Portfolio’s recent performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

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 universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were also below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. 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 size of the Portfolio. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an anticipated overall reduction in the transfer agency fees to be paid across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability 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 a high level of 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 noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

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- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe 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 Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvi-sor and the level of 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 Sub-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 Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 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.

(b) No information need be disclosed under this paragraph.

 

(c) The registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

Item 3.  Audit Committee Financial Expert. 

 

            The registrant's Board of Trustees/Directors has determined that M. Charito Kruvant, an “independent” Trustee/Director serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.  Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

(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.

(f) Not applicable.

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

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c) (7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. 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.

Item 11.  Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)        The principal executive and financial officers concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the 1940 Act) are effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report. This determination was based on the change to the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting described in Item 11(b) below made in response to a material weakness comment from registrant’s independent public accounting firm in December 2011.

 

(b)        There was a change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.  This change provides for (1) the remodeling and testing of the models used for all fixed income securities that are being priced under fair value procedures by the Advisor; (2) conducting of back-testing that reasonably supports the assumptions used in fair valuing the securities; (3) modifying the internal compliance monitoring system to report the asset weighting of each fixed income security, providing the percentage of any security owned in an individual Fund and across the Fund complex; (4) implementing a manual control to monitor for and report to the internal pricing committee on any security where the primary and/or secondary pricing vendor has been overridden for more than a certain number of days, as specified in the Fund’s procedures; and (5) enhanced escalation procedures to address any fair valuation concerns.

 

 

Item 12.  Exhibits.

 

(a)(1)   A copy of the Registrant’s Code of Ethics.

  

             Attached hereto.

 

(a)(2)  A separate certification for each principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the registrant as required by Rule 30a-2 under the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-2). 

 

Attached hereto.

 

(a)(3)   Not applicable.

 

(b)        A certification for the registrant's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as required by Rule 30a-2(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is attached hereto.  The certification furnished pursuant to this paragraph is not deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.  Such certification is not deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the registrant specifically incorporates it by reference.
