CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2013, Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio returned 32.39% versus 32.53% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. The slight underperformance was primarily driven by stock selection in the Industrials, Technology, and Materials sectors.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The politicians in Washington D.C. finally learned their lesson as far as having a semblance of fiscal sanity. For the first time since 1986, a divided Congress was able to pass a budget. The annual debt crisis we have become accustomed to was avoided and investors rejoiced. Additionally, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced in December 2013 that it would begin “tapering” the propping up of financial assets (“Quantitative Easing”) since the economy appeared to be on sound footing. Meanwhile, the Fed announced Janet Yellen would replace the retiring Ben Bernanke.

The unemployment rate started the year at 7.9% and steadily declined to 7.0% by year-end. The economy also managed to grow steadily from 1.8% to 4.1% through the third quarter. Automobile sales continued their rebound. Housing starts climbed and home prices increased 9% to a seven-year high, following the housing crisis that began five years ago. The recovery in auto and housing credit are closely tied to the Quantitative Easing the Federal Reserve undertook to stabilize the economy.

The investment climate of a less acrimonious and scare-mongering Congress—coupled with declining unemployment, rising economic growth and a healthy recovery in cyclical industries—provided strong support for equities. Flows haven’t followed suit yet, as the vast amount of investable funds remains in cash and bonds—that rotation is yet to come.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.85%. 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

The economy has been slow to emerge from the shock of the 2008 financial crisis. In 2013, the economy started to evince some “animal spirits” and achieved economic growth approaching 4%. The portfolio was geared to take advantage of this type of economic growth.

To raise funds to invest in more cyclical names, some smaller positions were liquidated, including four holdings that were received as a result of spin-offs. Also, 15 names were sold after achieving their price target, including CBS, ConocoPhillips and Hartford Financial—which had rebounded from much lower levels. Deere, Barrick Gold, and Newmont Mining were also sold, due to poor near-term earnings outlooks.

Four new companies were purchased with the proceeds. These were BB&T and Capital One in the banking sub-sector, BCE Inc in the telecom sub-sector and Eaton Corp in the industrial production sub-sector. In addition, we increased positions in other more cyclical holdings the Fund already held to take advantage of the incipient economic rebound.

PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS

The top three contributors to performance were the Financials, Energy, and Utilities sectors. Financials outperformed due to superior sub-sector allocation and stock selection. We also avoided holding real estate investment trusts. Better stock selection in insurance companies such as Hartford Financial, MetLife, and American International Group helped. The Fund also benefited from an overweight to commercial banks, with holdings in KeyCorp and PNC Financial.

Energy holdings in the Portfolio also outperformed the Index, thanks to an underweight to this underper-forming sector and solid stock selection. Overweight holdings in refiners Phillips 66 and Marathon Petroleum added to performance, as did a position in ConocoPhillips. The refiners outperformed as they benefited from discounted West Texas Intermediate crude relative to Brent crude prices, rising exports, and master limited partnership IPOs. The fund exited Marathon Petroleum as the Brent WTI spread narrowed and catalysts diminished. Relative performance was benefited from avoiding Chevron and an underweight in ExxonMobil.

Finally, the fund underweighted the poorly performing Utilities sector. Multi-utilities were poor performers over the year and were avoided.

PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS

The Portfolio’s top three detractors from performance were the Industrials, Technology, and Materials sectors. We were underweight the outperforming Industrials sector and also had poor stock selection. The biggest detractor was a lack of exposure to certain aerospace & defense industry holdings, which performed well during the period but did not the meet Portfolio’s ESG criteria. Holdings in ADT and Deere also hurt, and were among the bottom ten contributors to return.

Poor stock selection in Technology also hurt relative performance. The Fund did not hold Apple or Hewlett Packard, which outperformed for the year. A position in IBM also hurt relative performance, although we did take profits early in the year as the stock neared full valuation. However, TE Connectivity helped partly offset the lower performance.

Holdings in gold stock, Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold, primarily drove the weak performance of Materials. We sold them during the first half of the year as gold prices plummeted and a recovery in earnings

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


 

looked very unlikely. This was partly offset with an overweight of chemical companies, Dow Chemical and DuPont, which were top ten contributors to return. Management at both companies is focused on restructuring their portfolios towards higher margin businesses.

OUTLOOK

The economy has been growing for over three years but has only recently begun to expand. Although unemployment has declined to 7%, housing has begun to rebuild, and the Fed has begun tapering its purchases of fixed-income securities. The Fed, however, remains in stimulus mode as there appears to be no rebound in inflation.

In an environment of increasing economic growth and a simultaneous increase in corporate earnings, equities are the preferred financial asset. Fixed income could suffer from fears of inflation rebounding or excessive demand for credit and rising interest rates. As equity investors, we will remain diversified among sectors, investing with the expectations of a rebounding economy and rising interest rates. We also plan to remain fully invested, as many investors still have not rotated back into equities from cash and fixed income.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP SRI 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which

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


 

such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $153,114,398  — $153,114,398
Other debt obligations $2,101,320  — 2,101,320
TOTAL $153,114,398 $2,101,320  — $155,215,718

 

* 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,

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 15


 

as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. 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.

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.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $77,266,280 and $90,490,999, respectively.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Capital losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The Portfolio’s use of net capital losses acquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $2,383,890 $2,332,014
Total $2,383,890 $2,332,014

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $31,747,120
Unrealized (depreciation) (237,519)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $31,509,601
 
Undistrbuted ordinary income $303,806
Capital loss carryforward ($23,934,823)
Federal income tax cost of investments $123,706,117

 

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 capital loss 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 17


 

no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to partnerships and foreign currency transactions.

Undistributed net investment income ($58,829)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 71,521
Paid-in capital (12,692)

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

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.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

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


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

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 noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Portfolio’s expenses. 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits.

The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the 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 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) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Portfolio’s advisory fee is reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the one-year ended December 31, 2013, Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio returned 31.87% compared with 32.39% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. The slight underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not have.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets earned strong positive returns in 2013 as economic recovery in the United States continued to take hold. Within the domestic universe, small-cap stocks provided the highest return in 2013, up 38.82% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. Mid-cap and large cap stocks provided slightly lower returns, with the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index returning 33.50% and 32.39%, respectively. Domestic equity markets generally outperformed international equity markets, with emerging markets lagging the most.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its accommodative monetary policy in 2013, which provided the fuel to power U.S. stocks higher. Domestic GDP growth improved steadily throughout the year, and inflation remained under control. The housing market continued its recovery—the resulting increases in homeowner equity and consumer confidence and decreases in default rates should benefit the banking industry. Lastly, the combination of increased home values and the rise in the stock market had a significant positive impact on household net worth.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P 500 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach to replicate the Index.

  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.45%.

The smallest exposures were to Telecommunication Services and Utilities, at 2.3% and 3.0%, respectively.

The top performers were Consumer Discretionary, up 43.1%, and Health Care, up 41.5%. The weakest performers were Telecommunication Services, up 11.5%, and Utilities, up 13.2%.

During 2013, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Market fluctuation and cash flows may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. Since the S&P 500 Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.

OUTLOOK

Entering 2014, we believe the outlook for equities is mildly positive. The economy continues to recover and corporate earnings remain strong, although valuations have become more stretched and the market is pricing in a fairly optimistic outlook already. The unemployment rate is declining and the economy will not suffer the same fiscal drag that it did last year from the sequester.

The Fed has begun the tapering process. And while the tone in Washington has improved slightly, the government’s inability to function properly does remain a concern. In addition, economic growth in Europe remains sluggish and China’s growth appears to have slowed.

That said, the Fed anticipates keeping short-term rates low for an extended period of time after it ends its asset-purchasing program. Although it is unlikely that 2014 will provide returns similar to 2013, Fed policies should provide a positive backdrop for equities in the year ahead.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13
Actual $1,000.00 $1,160.96 $2.28
 
Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,023.09 $2.14

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.42%, 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, 2013, 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 five-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.

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, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing 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, 2013, 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 five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which

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


 

such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products 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 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $347,268,843  — $347,268,843
Exchange traded products 1,514,294  — 1,514,294
U.S. government obligations $999,670  — 999,670
Other debt obligations 3,573,773  — 3,573,773
TOTAL $348,783,137 $4,573,443  — $353,356,580
Other financial instruments** $166,965  — $166,965

 

* 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 Total Investments in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and 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. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 43 contracts and $1,973,437 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.

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


 

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.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $36,806,264 and $75,637,560, respectively.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
Expiration Date:  
31-Dec-15 ($5,635,448)
31-Dec-16 (5,235,979)
31-Dec-17 (2,509,534)
31-Dec-18 (2,611,900)
 
No Expiration Date:  
Short-term ($750,777)
Long-term (1,973,807)

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Capital losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The portfolio’s use of net capital losses aquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $6,058,983 $4,992,328
Long-term capital gain 4,919,185
Total $10,978,168 $4,992,328

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $134,511,644
Unrealized (depreciation) (8,249,419)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $126,262,225
Undistributed ordinary income $3,049,851
Undistributed long-term capital gain $6,440,703
Capital loss carryforward ($18,717,445)
Federal income tax cost of investments $227,094,355

 

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 limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

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


 

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, partnerships, and expired capital loss carryforwards.

Undistributed net investment income ($72,815)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 1,678,656
Paid-in capital (1,605,841)

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 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
$1,958 1.39% $238,172 September 2013

 

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2013, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE F — REORGANIZATION

On December 12, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), providing for the transfer of all of the assets of Calvert VP SRI Strategic Portfolio (“Strategic”) in exchange for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (“S&P 500”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Strategic. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 19, 2013 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2013.

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

   

ACQUIRING

   
MERGED PORTFOLIO SHARES

PORTFOLIO

SHARES VALUE
 Strategic 1,451,200

S&P 500

297,026 $28,959,426

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by S&P 500 were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Strategic were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of S&P 500’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

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


 

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

    UNREALIZED    
  NET APPRECIATION

MERGED PORTFOLIO ASSETS (DEPRECIATION)

PORTFOLIO

ASSETS
Strategic $28,959,426 $2,950,144

S&P 500

$312,858,280

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013, S&P 500’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $5,682,589 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments $87,866,008 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $93,548,597  

 

Because S&P 500 and Strategic 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 Strategic that have been included in S&P 500’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2013.

(a) $5,579,988 as reported, plus $102,601 from Strategic pre-merger.

(b) $84,250,743 as reported, plus $3,615,265 from Strategic pre-merger.

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

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


 

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

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

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


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2013 and at the median of its peer group for the five-year period ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The Board took into account management’s discussion of

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


 

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. The Board also noted management’s plans with respect to the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

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. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Portfolio’s expenses. 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the 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

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


 

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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

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

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio’s Class I shares returned 32.82% compared to 33.50% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) MidCap 400 Index. The slight underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not have.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

Equity markets earned strong positive returns in 2013 as the economic recovery in the United States continued to take hold. Within the domestic universe, small-cap stocks provided the highest return in 2013, up 38.82% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. Mid-cap and large-cap stocks provided slightly lower returns, with the S&P Midcap 400 and S&P 500 Indices returning 33.50% and 32.39%, respectively. Domestic equity markets generally outperformed international equity markets, with emerging markets lagging the most.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its accommodative monetary policy, which provided the fuel to power U.S. stocks higher. Domestic GDP growth improved steadily throughout the year, and inflation remained under control. The housing market continued its recovery—the resulting increases in homeowner equity and consumer confidence and decreases in default rates should benefit the banking industry. The combination of increased home values and the rise in the stock market also had a significant positive impact on household net worth.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Portfolio seeks to replicate the holdings as closely as possible and match the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the fund employs a passive management approach to replicate the Index.


  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
  (period ended 12.31.13)
  Class I Class F
One year 32.82% 32.47%
Five year 21.22% 20.92%
Ten year 9.74% 9.50%*

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.53%. 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.

* 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 Index’s largest exposures were to the Financials and Industrial sectors, at 21.4% and 17.3%, respectively. Other significant weightings included Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary, which ranged from 13.6% to 15.2%. The smallest exposure was to Telecommunication Services at less than 1%.

The top-performing sectors of the Index were Health Care, up 45.9%, and Industrials, up 43.9%. The weakest performing sectors were Telecommunication Services, up 19.4%, and Materials, up 24.6%.

During 2013, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Market fluctuation and cash flows may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

OUTLOOK

Entering 2014, the outlook for equities is mildly positive. The economy continues to recover and corporate earnings remain strong, although valuations have become more stretched and the market is pricing in a fairly optimistic outlook already. The unemployment rate is declining and the economy will not suffer the same fiscal drag that it did last year from the sequester.

The Fed has begun the tapering process. And while the tone in Washington has improved slightly, the government’s inability to function properly does remain a concern. In addition, economic growth in Europe remains sluggish and China’s growth appears to have slowed.

That said, the Fed anticipates keeping short-term rates low for an extended period of time after it ends its asset-purchasing program. Although it is unlikely that 2014 will provide returns similar to 2013, Fed policies should provide a positive backdrop for equities in the year ahead.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13

Hypothetical
 
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,021.08 $4.17

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.52% and 0.82% for Class I and Class F, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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


 

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products 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 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, securities valued at $10, or 0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities** $242,242,606 $10 $242,242,616
Exchange traded products 3,223,440 3,223,440
U.S. government obligations $499,835 499,835
Other debt obligations 5,108,316 5,108,316
TOTAL $245,466,046 $5,608,151 $10* $251,074,207
Other financial instruments*** $157,217 $157,217

 

* 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, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and 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. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 400 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 14 contracts and $504,317 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

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


 

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 specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $29,069,087 and $26,225,903, respectively.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
Expiration Date:  
31-Dec-15 ($4,406,553)
31-Dec-16 (3,305,111)

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Capital losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The Portfolio’s use of net capital losses acquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $2,054,009 $1,769,798
Long-term capital gain 7,270,460 4,643,689
Total $9,324,469 $6,413,487

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $84,759,367
Unrealized (depreciation) (4,591,832)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $80,167,535
Undistributed ordinary income $470,971
Undistributed long-term capital gain $5,714,316
Capital loss carryforward ($7,711,664)
Federal income tax cost of investments $170,906,672

 

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 limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

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


 

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 net investment income ($237,680)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 237,680

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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, 2013.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2013, 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.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

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.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

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


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio under-performed its Lipper index for the one-year period and outperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. 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

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


 

Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

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. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Portfolio’s expenses. 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. 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, 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 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 a portion of the 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

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


 

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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

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

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio returned 36.05% compared with 36.92% for the Nasdaq 100 Index. The slight under-performance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not have.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets earned strong positive returns in 2013 as the economic recovery in the United States continued to take hold. Within the domestic universe, small-cap stocks provided the highest return in 2013, up 38.82% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. Mid-cap and large-cap stocks provided slightly lower returns, with the S&P Midcap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index returning 33.50% and 32.39%, respectively. Domestic equity markets generally outperformed international equity markets, with emerging markets lagging the most.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its accommodative monetary policy in 2013, which provided the fuel to power U.S. stocks higher. Domestic GDP growth improved steadily throughout the year, and inflation remained under control. The housing market continued its recovery—the resulting increases in homeowner equity and consumer confidence and decreases in default rates should benefit the banking industry. Lastly, the combination of increased home values and the rise in the stock market had a significant positive impact on household net worth.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach to replicate the Index.

  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
  (period ended 12.31.13)
One year 36.05%
Five year 24.80%
Ten year 9.50%

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.63%. 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.

At year-end, the Index’s largest exposures were to the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, at 55.1% and 20.3%, respectively. It also had a significant allocation to Health Care, at 13.1%. The smallest exposure was to Materials, at less than 1% of the Index.

The top-performing sectors in the Index were Health Care, up 66.9%, and Telecommunication, up 48.4%. The weakest-performing sectors were Industrials, up 17.7%, and Materials, up 29.1%.

During 2013, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Market fluctuation and cash flows may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. Since the Nasdaq 100 Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.

OUTLOOK

Entering 2014, we believe the outlook for equities is mildly positive. The economy continues to recover and corporate earnings remain strong, although valuations have become more stretched and the market is pricing in a fairly optimistic outlook already. The unemployment rate is declining and the economy will not suffer the same fiscal drag that it did last year from the sequester.

The Fed has begun the tapering process. And while the tone in Washington has improved slightly, the government’s inability to function properly does remain a concern. In addition, economic growth in Europe remains sluggish and China’s growth appears to have slowed.

That said, the Fed anticipates keeping short-term rates low for an extended period of time after it ends its asset-purchasing program. Although it is unlikely that 2014 will provide returns similar to 2013, Fed policies should provide a positive backdrop for equities in the year ahead.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,022.22 $3.02

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.59%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing 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, 2013, 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 five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which

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


 

such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products 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 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $78,267,909  — $78,267,909
Exchange traded products 923,580  — 923,580
U.S. government obligations $199,934  — 199,934
Other debt obligations 1,428,913  — 1,428,913
TOTAL $79,191,489 $1,628,847  — $80,820,336
Other financial instruments** $35,458  — $35,458

 

* 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 Total Investments in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and 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. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini NASDAQ 100 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with a weighted average of 10 contracts and $290,522 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. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduc-

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 17


 

tion 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.

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.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $9,207,536 and $13,702,727, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $947,258 $587,107
Long-term capital gain 1,430,726 3,633,611
Total $2,377,984 $4,220,718

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $34,637,504
Unrealized (depreciation) (223,425)

Federal income tax cost of investments $46,406,257

 

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.

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

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


 

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 11, 2013, 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

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


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer 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-year period ended June 30, 2013 and above the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013 and outperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance

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


 

was satisfactory relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. The Board also took into account 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also 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

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


 

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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the one-year ended December 31, 2013, Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio Class I shares returned 37.89% compared with 38.82% for the Russell 2000 Index. The slight underperformance was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not have.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets earned strong positive returns in 2013 as the U.S. economic recovery continued to take hold. Within the domestic universe, small cap stocks provided the highest return in 2013, up 38.82% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. Mid-cap and large-cap stocks provided slightly lower returns, with the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index returning 33.50% and 32.39%, respectively. Domestic equity markets generally outperformed international equity markets, with emerging markets lagging the most.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its accommodative monetary policy in 2013, which provided the fuel to power U.S. stocks higher. Domestic GDP growth improved steadily throughout the year, and inflation remained under control. The housing market continued its recovery—the resulting increases in homeowner equity and consumer confidence and decreases in default rates should benefit the banking industry. Lastly, the combination of increased home values and the rise in the stock market had a significant positive impact on household net worth.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach to replicate the Index.


  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
  (period ended 12.31.13)
  Class I Class F
One year 37.89% 37.62%
Five year 19.24% 19.00%

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.77%. 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 Index’s largest exposures were to the Financial and Information Technology sectors, at 21.0% and 15.8%, respectively. Other significant weightings included Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Industrials, which ranged from 12.1% to 14.3%. The smallest exposures were to Utilities and Telecommunications Services, at 2.7% and 0.7%, respectively. The top performers were Healthcare, up 51.7%, and Consumer Staples, up 47.7%. The weakest performers sectors were Utilities, up 21.8%, and Materials, up 28.0%.

During 2013, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Market fluctuation and cash flows may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the Index. Since the Russell 2000 Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.

OUTLOOK

Entering 2014, the outlook for equities is mildly positive. The economy continues to recover and corporate earnings remain strong, although valuations have become more stretched and the market is pricing in a fairly optimistic outlook already. The unemployment rate is declining and the economy will not suffer the same fiscal drag that it did last year from the sequester.

The Fed has begun the tapering process. And while the tone in Washington has improved slightly, the government’s inability to function properly does remain a concern. In addition, economic growth in Europe remains sluggish and China’s growth appears to have slowed.

That said, the Fed anticipates keeping short-term rates low for an extended period of time after it ends its asset-purchasing program. Although it is unlikely that 2014 will provide returns similar to 2013, Fed policies should provide a positive backdrop for equities in the year ahead.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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 0.67% and 0.88%, respectively, 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 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, 2013, 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 five-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.

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, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing 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, 2013, 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 five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products and closed-end 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 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, securities valued at $4,373, or 0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities** $144,842,906 $4,373 $144,847,279
Exchange traded products 5,996,120 5,996,120
Closed-end funds 17,841 17,841
U.S. government obligations $399,868 399,868
Other debt obligations 4,891,438 4,891,438
TOTAL $150,856,867 $5,291,306 $4,373* $156,152,546
Other financial instruments*** $206,412 $206,412

 

* 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 Total Investments in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and 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 exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini Russell 2000 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 5 contracts and $227,870 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 53


 

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. 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 specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

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 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.

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.

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

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $18,638,251 and $14,617,948, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $1,440,387 $1,085,434
Long-term capital gain 5,004,896 5,674,461
Total $6,445,283 $6,759,895

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $53,914,338
Unrealized (depreciation) (8,576,468)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $45,337,870
Undistributed ordinary income $826,696
Undistributed long-term capital gains $3,422,560
Federal income tax cost of investments $110,814,676

 

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, and Section 1256 contracts.

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, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies, investment funds, and foreign currency transactions.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) 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

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


 

Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www. calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 61


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio under-

performed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. 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 relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was at the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. The Board also took into account 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. 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, 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 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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by World Asset Management, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (Class I shares) returned 20.72% compared to 23.29% for the MSCI EAFE Index. The slight relative underperformance was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not have.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

Global equities started the year strong and continued to climb as subdued global inflation and a benevolent interest-rate environment together helped economic growth overseas. As a result, corporate profit margins improved worldwide, valuations increased, and earnings multiples expanded. However, commodity prices stayed low, which hurt the commodity-rich emerging market sector. In addition, China’s growth seemed to be weakening, spurring investor concerns about whether China’s economy would have a hard landing.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio seeks to match, as closely as possible before fees and expenses, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (MSCI EAFE Index). As an index fund, the Portfolio uses a passive management approach. All investment decisions are based on the goal of producing returns equivalent to those of the Index. The unmanaged MSCI EAFE Index is comprised of a wide range of foreign securities trading in developed foreign markets, such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and countries in the Far East.

Foreign stock markets had strong absolute returns for the year but were slightly weaker than the U.S.-focused S&P 500 Index. There were 21 countries in the MSCI EAFE universe at year-end. Japan and the United

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I Shares is 0.96%. 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.

Kingdom were the most heavily weighted, at 20.9% and 21.9%, respectively, accounting for 42.8% of the Index.

The strongest returns came from Finland, Ireland, and Germany, up 47.9%, 41.7%, and 32.4, respectively. Singapore, up 1.7% and Australia, up 4.2%, were the weakest-performing countries. The strongest sector returns were in Consumer Discretionary, followed by Health Care and Industrials.

During 2013, the Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the MSCI EAFE Index. Cash flows are invested promptly to minimize their impact on total return. Since the MSCI EAFE Index is not an actual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. Third party fair value pricing adjustments to local market closing prices at the beginning of the reporting period also contributed to the underperfor-mance, as did foreign government withholding on dividends.

OUTLOOK

We expect continued economic growth in the United States and abroad as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) continues to maintain a supportive interest-rate environment, which should in turn provide support for the Industrial and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Higher corporate profit margins and lower commodity prices (in particular, energy) will support higher valuations in the United States. However, we do believe U.S. equity markets may become more volatile as the Fed continues to reduce its rate of fixed-income security purchases, pressuring interest rates to move higher. That volatility may spread to foreign markets, particularly Europe.

We believe U.S. economic growth and Fed policies should have a beneficial effect on European markets in 2014, as the region continues to recover from its banking crisis and weak growth. In Asia, efforts to increase Japan’s economic growth will continue for a second year and should successfully support and improve the economic environment, assuming there are no further hostilities over the South China Sea territorial dispute. Overall, we believe 2014 could be another good year for the international equity markets.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

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.

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, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by performing 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, 2013, 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 five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 29


 

In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. 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 such securities 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, securities valued at $0 or 0% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $159,557,088  ** $159,557,088
Exchange traded products 2,185,217  — 2,185,217
Other debt obligations $104,013  — 104,013
TOTAL $161,742,305 $104,013  ** $162,846,318

 

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

** Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, securities valued at $142,702,807 were transferred out of Level 2 and into Level 1. On December 31, 2012, price movements had exceeded specified parameters and the third party fair pricing service had quantitatively fair valued securities valued at $142,702,807, which were classified as Level 2. On December 31, 2013, price movements did not exceed specified parameters and these securities were not fair valued.

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. 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. 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 specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

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.

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 EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 31


 

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company.

The Advisor further voluntarily reimbursed the Porfolio for expenses of $620 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $13,273 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class F shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .20% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $522 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.

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

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $18,422,380 and $27,114,120, respectively.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
Expiration Date:  
31-Dec-15 ($186,055)

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


 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years and will retain their character as either long-term or short-term. Capital losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years can be utilized until expiration. The Portfolio’s use of net capital losses acquired from reorganizations may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $3,573,583 $3,305,936
Total $3,573,583 $3,305,936

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $43,784,604
Unrealized (depreciation) (7,183,431)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $36,601,173
Undistributed ordinary income $655,241
Capital loss carryforward ($17,211,970)
Federal income tax cost of investments $125,245,145

 

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, passive foreign investment companies, and capital loss 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 foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies.

Undistributed net investment income ($9,705)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 9,705

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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, 2013.

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

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


 

shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www. calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 39


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group or peer universe, as applicable, by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2013, and performed below the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The Board took into account management’s discus-

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


 

sion 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 relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

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 above 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. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Portfolio’s expenses. 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. 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, 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 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 a portion of the 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 41


 

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, 2013 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group or peer universe, as applicable, 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and the subad-visory 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio returned -2.80% compared with -2.02% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The underperformance was largely due to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The fixed-income markets performed poorly in 2013, as interest rates increased during the year. Beginning in May, speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin tapering its quantitative-easing program caused interest rates to start rising. Speculation became reality with the Fed’s announcement in December. As a result, the 10-year Treasury rate increased over the year from 1.76% to 3.03%, delivering negative total returns for fixed-income investors, particularly on the longer end of the yield curve.1 As interest rates rise, the prices of existing bonds decline.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As an index fund, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach in pursuit of its goal to mirror, as closely as possible, the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. However, with more than 8,700 securities, full replication is not feasible.

Therefore, we employ a stratified sampling strategy to create a Portfolio of securities with similar characteristics to the Index, including duration, sector allocation, and quality. Stratified sampling requires the portfolio manager to select securities in each sector to represent sectors in the index. Since the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.


  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.49%. 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.

Securitized bonds, which are primarily mortgage-backed securities, were the top performers within the Index, returning -1.31%. Corporate bonds returned -1.53% for the year, while Treasury securities earned -2.75% within the Index.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for 2014 is for continued economic growth in the United States and moderate growth globally. The Fed is expected to taper throughout the year and end its quantitative easing by year-end. Consensus is for inflation to remain low and the unemployment rate to decline. In this environment, interest rates should normalize when the external influence from the Fed is removed. We expect rates to rise modestly before the yield curve eventually flattens.

Corporate earnings and balance sheets remain healthy, so corporate bonds are expected to outperform. Securitized bonds may underperform due to their negative convexity. Treasury securities are also expected to underperform due to their lack of incremental yield compared to corporate or mortgage-backed securities. In a rising interest-rate environment, short-duration bonds are expected to outperform long-duration bonds.2

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,022.65 $2.59

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.51%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (formerly known as Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: 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 such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For

16 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT


 

asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Asset-backed securities  — $103,664  — $103,664
Commercial mortgage-backed securities  — 2,577,029  — 2,577,029
Corporate debt  — 43,744,681  — 43,744,681
Other debt obligations  — 1,067,953  — 1,067,953
U.S. government obligations  — 151,484,758  — 151,484,758
TOTAL  — $198,978,085  — $198,978,085

 

* 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
No Expiration Date:  
Short-term ($343,440)

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $4,858,697 $5,129,135
Long-term capital gain 199,081 393,307
Total $5,057,778 $5,522,442

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $3,556,754
Unrealized (depreciation) (4,179,362)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($622,608)
Undistributed ordinary income $477,422
Capital loss carryforward ($343,440)
Federal income tax cost of investments $199,600,693

 

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 INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 19


 

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 $976,833
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (976,833)

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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, 2013.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

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 11, 2013, 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

24 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer 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, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio under-performed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. 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 relative to the performance of passively-managed funds that

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

track the same benchmark index as does the Portfolio.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was above the median of its peer group and that total expenses were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s sub-advisory 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also 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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio returned -7.41% compared with -8.61% for the Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPs) Index. The smaller loss relative to the Index was primarily due to the Portfolio’s exposure to floating-rate securities and higher-yielding corporate bonds.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The fixed income markets performed poorly in 2013, as interest rates increased during the year. Beginning in May, speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin tapering the quantitative easing (“QE2”) caused interest rates to start rising. Speculation became reality with the Fed’s announcement in December. As a result, the 10-year Treasury rate increased over the year from 1.76% to 3.03%, delivering negative returns for fixed-income investors, particularly on the longer end of the yield curve.

The rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, was up 1.2% in 2013 versus 1.7% in 2012. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, advanced at a rate of 1.7% in 2013 versus 1.9% in 2012. Inflation decreased last year and appears to be under control entering 2014.

The difference between the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond and the 10-year TIPs bond was 2.26% at the end of 2013. This compares with 2.49% at the end of 2012. The smaller spread implies that investor’s expectations of future inflation decreased in 2013.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Portfolio primarily invests in TIPs and floating-rate securities, as well as a smaller number of fixed-rate corporate and agency bonds. The combination of longer-dated TIPs,

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.71%. 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.

floating-rate notes, and intermediate-term corporate and agency bonds created an intermediate-duration profile slightly shorter than the Barclays TIPs Index throughout the year.1 The Portfolio continues to hold TIPs to protect against future inflation expectations. It also holds floating-rate securities, which generally provide greater income during times of inflation. Lastly, it selectively holds other fixed-rate securities that, in our opinion, we expect to provide excess relative performance in a stable market.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for inflation-protected securities depends heavily on the expected rate of future inflation and general movement of interest rates. The near-term outlook for inflation remains relatively benign entering 2014. However, the general level of interest rates is expected to rise as the Fed ends its quantitative easing. In this environment, floating-rate securities and shorter-dated bonds should outperform longer-dated securities. In the event that inflation expectations increase materially, Treasury inflation-protected securities should outperform securities without that protection.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,021.46 $3.79

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.74%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: 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 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13


 

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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
U.S. government obligations  — $41,521,570  — $41,521,570
Corporate debt  — 39,659,466  — 39,659,466
Other debt obligations  — 302,224  — 302,224
TOTAL  — $81,483,260  — $81,483,260

 

*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.

14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT


 

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. 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.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2014. The contractual expense cap is .79%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $6,235 was payable at year end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $8,086 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, $565 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $40,000.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. Government securities, were $24,643,548 and $28,732,355, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $16,166,199 and $16,410,843, respectively.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 15


 

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $1,271,167 $1,603,858
Long-term capital gain 750,647 111,197
Total $2,021,814 $1,715,055

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $1,354,085
Unrealized (depreciation) (2,417,831)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) ($1,063,746)
Undistributed ordinary income $166,375
Undistributed long-term capital gain $509,905
Federal income tax cost of investments $82,547,006

 

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 treasury inflation protected securities and wash sales.

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the agreement was as follows:

  WEIGHTED   MONTH OF

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

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 11, 2013, 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

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


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group or peer universe, as applicable, 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, 2013, below the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2013 and below the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June

30, 2013. 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 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 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. 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also 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, 2013 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group or peer universe, as applicable, 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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) appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

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

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio returned 0.72% compared to 32.39% for the benchmark Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. Concentrated holdings in the commodity and natural resource sectors caused the Portfolio to underperform the benchmark since the S&P 500 Index has a more diversified allocation of holdings across industry sectors. The blended return from the Natural Resources Composite Benchmark (DJ-UBS Commodity Total Return 50%, S&P North American Sector/Natural Resources 50%), a mix of market indices that more closely reflects the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, returned 2.91% for the period.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

Natural resource stocks, and commodity stocks in particular, underperformed the overall market in 2013. Crude oil prices dropped slightly during the year, as measured by Brent crude. Metal prices also declined, led by gold’s decline of more than 27%. Silver, copper, aluminum and steel prices also decreased during the year, although steel prices recovered nicely during the second half of the year. Despite trillions of dollars of global monetary stimulus from major central banks over the last few years, inflation simply has not materialized, which has kept commodity prices relatively flat.

On the positive side, chemical, water and forest-product stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) performed well in 2013. Power generation and real estate ETFs also provided small positive returns. The U.S. dollar was mostly unchanged relative to other currencies, which provided neither a catalyst nor a headwind for commodity and natural resource prices.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.39%. 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

The Portfolio invests in ETFs and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that track various commodity, natural resource, raw materials, and utility indices and is constructed to maintain broad exposure to a wide variety of commodities and natural resources. As of December 31, 2013, the Portfolio’s largest exposure was to Energy at 39%, followed by Materials at 17%. Other significant exposures included Water, Metals, and Forest Products, ranging from 6% to 10%.

Since the objective is to maintain broad exposure to a basket of commodities and natural resources, these exposures remained fairly stable throughout 2013. However, we decreased exposure to commodity ETNs and gold ETFs near the end of the year, as both underperformed other sectors of the market.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for commodity and natural resource prices is mixed entering 2014. On the positive side, domestic growth has accelerated and increased global growth will likely follow. And the monetary policy of major central banks will continue to be accommodative in 2014, which should eventually be reflected in higher commodity and natural resource prices.

On the negative side, increased energy production, led by the United States, should keep a lid on energy prices and the performance of energy-related ETFs and ETNs. Also, the U.S. dollar is likely to strengthen in 2014, as the Fed begins to taper while other central banks continue their easy monetary policy. A stronger U.S. dollar would provide a headwind for natural resource and commodity prices.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,021.24 $4.00

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.79%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes (the “Underlying Funds”) representing different natural resources exposure.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Exchange traded products 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 11


 

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Exchange traded products $69,069,390  — $69,069,390
Other debt obligations $1,069,352  — 1,069,352
TOTAL $69,069,390 $1,069,352  — $70,138,742

 

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

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to 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. 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

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


 

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
No Expiration Date:  
Short-term ($553,191)
Long-term (1,149,313)

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013 2012
Ordinary income $115,402 $309,960
Long-term capital gain 363,563 1,028,050
Total $478,965 $1,338,010

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $4,598,960
Unrealized (depreciation) (2,790,374)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $1,808,586
Undistributed ordinary income $96,624
Capital loss carryforward ($1,702,504)
Federal income tax cost of investments $68,330,156

 

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, partnerships, and exchange traded funds.

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, exchange traded funds, and prior year net operating losses.

Undistributed net investment income ($208,649)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) 208,647
Paid-in capital 2

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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

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


 

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, 2013.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2013, 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.

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

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


 

shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www. calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2013, 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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer 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, 2013. The data also indicated that the Portfolio under-performed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.

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


 

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. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Portfolio’s expenses. 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. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the 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

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


 

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, 2013 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

From inception on April 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio returned 1.97%, underperforming the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 7.5% Total Return Index, which returned 10.40%.

Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices* that more closely reflect the asset allocation strategy than the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.

Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio also underperformed the blended composite benchmark return of 5.78%.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets finished 2013 on a strong note with many indices registering all-time highs despite mixed economic signals and concerns over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) “tapering” of long-term asset purchases and exit from quantitative easing. While much of the market commentary during the year focused on what was happening at the Fed, an important and sometimes overlooked driver of economic activity, and by extension Fed policy, was the improving health of the consumer balance sheet.

As the overall economic recovery stabilized, improvements in the labor and housing markets, coupled with robust equity market performance, all contributed to further strengthen the consumer balance sheet. As a result, U.S. consumer confidence and spending have recovered considerably from post-financial-crisis lows and are now contributing to GDP growth. Growing consumer confidence and reduced risk aversion also helped keep volatility subdued during the year as macro-risks faded from the forefront and investors shifted their attention to nascent signs of growth in the global economy.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.71% (includes Acquired Fund fees). 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.

Stocks were the top performing asset class for the year, led by U.S. equities with the Russell 3000 Index, representing the total U.S. equity market, returning 33.55% and outperforming international stocks as the MSCI EAFE Index returned 23.29%. Bonds produced a negative return for the first time in more than a decade as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.02%. Low inflation hit Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities particularly hard, with the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index declining 8.61%. The MSCI US REIT Index finished the year at 2.47%, despite the negative impact of tapering on mortgage rates during the second half of the year.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Portfolio seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 7.5% while pursuing current income and modest growth potential, consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a group of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and uses a derivative-based risk management strategy, primarily using futures contracts on various market indices. In an effort to manage long-term volatility, the target asset allocation model is designed to reflect the specified target level of risk. Meanwhile, the risk management strategy is employed to mitigate short-term fluctuations in volatility and realize a long-term risk level over a shorter time frame. The risk management strategy combines two components—volatility management and a capital protection strategy—that work together in an effort to reduce the negative effects of high portfolio volatility while seeking to participate in growth during up markets and defend against significant losses during major market downturns.

The historic relationship between rising equity markets and periods of low volatility was on display in 2013 as equity markets rallied throughout the year while the level of equity market risk declined to unusually low levels. Therefore, the risk management strategy sought to increase our equity exposure to achieve the desired 7.5% level of volatility. However, it could not achieve this due to risk controls limiting the Portfolio’s maximum equity exposure. Given the strong performance of U.S. equities, the Portfolio’s lower level of equity market exposure relative to the Index, which does not limit the equity exposure level, was a major contributor to the Portfolio’s underperformance for the period. Holdings of REITS and TIPS also contributed to the Portfolio’s underperformance relative to both the Index and composite benchmark.

OUTLOOK

We expect the U.S. economic recovery to continue to gain strength into 2014 and to provide a firm foundation for continued improvements in growth and employment, even in the face of the Federal Reserve’s tapering activities. It is important to remember that the Fed’s taper is merely an inflection point in its provision of extraordinary post-crisis support. The Fed still provides levels of support far above and beyond historical norms; it merely has switched from expanding to reducing that level gradually over time. Moreover, should the withdrawal of Fed support unexpectedly push the economy back into recession, there is no reason to think the Fed would not slow or even reverse its decisions, unless inflation becomes a serious problem.

A bigger question is whether equity valuations already reflect current growth expectations, or whether there is room for continued price/earnings multiple expansion in 2014. Returns of near 30% in 2013 already include a substantial component of multiple expansion, and so it is possible that financial markets may need to rest a bit in order to digest that expansion before moving any higher. However, we do think that improvements in the consumer balance sheet and employment, in combination with likely continued headwinds in fixed income, mean that more people will be ready to put investment money to work, and especially into equities. In this environment, it seems reasonable to expect continued multiple expansion in 2014, even if at a slower rate than was observed in 2013.

In a market environment characterized by dominant performance from a single asset class, in this case U.S. stocks, returns from a diversified asset allocation strategy will inevitably trail. However, over a longer time horizon time, the benefits from diversification should produce better risk-adjusted returns than can be had from investing in any single asset class.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  7/1/13 12/31/13 7/1/13 - 12/31/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,021.02 $4.23

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.83%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Exchange traded products 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13


 

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Exchange traded products $8,553,209  — $8,553,209
Other debt obligations $475,993  — 475,993
TOTAL $8,553,209 $475,993  — $9,029,202
Other financial instruments** $21,706  — $21,706

 

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

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

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. 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,

14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT


 

daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 7 contracts and $398,191 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to 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 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. 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 regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

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 the 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 period ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

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.

CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

From inception on April 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio returned 3.94%, underperforming the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% Total Return Index, which returned 13.82%.

Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices* that more closely reflect the asset allocation strategy than the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.

Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio also underperformed the blended composite benchmark return of 8.46%.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets finished 2013 on a strong note with many indices registering all-time highs despite mixed economic signals and concerns over the Fed’s “tapering” of long-term asset purchases and exit from quantitative easing. While much of the market commentary during the year focused on what was happening at the Federal Reserve, an important and sometimes overlooked driver of economic activity, and by extension Fed policy, was the improving health of the consumer balance sheet. As the overall economic recovery stabilized, improvements in the labor and housing markets, coupled with robust equity market performance, all contributed to further strengthen the consumer balance sheet.

As a result, U.S. consumer confidence and spending have recovered considerably from post-financial-crisis lows and are now contributing to GDP growth. Growing consumer confidence and reduced risk aversion also helped keep volatility subdued during the year as macro-risks faded from the forefront and investors shifted their attention to nascent signs of growth in the global economy.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.71% (includes Acquired Fund fees). 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.

Stocks were the top performing asset class for the year, led by U.S. equities with the Russell 3000 Index, representing the total U.S. equity market, returning 33.55% and outperforming international stocks as the MSCI EAFE Index returned 23.29%. Bonds produced a negative return for the first time in more than a decade as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.02%. Low inflation hit Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities particularly hard, with the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index declining 8.61%. The MSCI US REIT Index finished the year at 2.47%, despite the negative impact of tapering on mortgage rates during the second half of the year.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Portfolio seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 10% while pursuing current income and growth potential. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a group of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and uses a derivative-based risk management strategy, primarily using futures contracts on various market indices. In an effort to manage long-term volatility, the target asset allocation model is designed to reflect the specified target level of risk. Meanwhile, the risk management strategy is employed to mitigate short-term fluctuations in volatility and realize a long-term risk level over a shorter time frame. The risk management strategy combines two components—volatility management and a capital protection strategy—that work together in an effort to reduce the negative effects of high portfolio volatility while seeking to participate in growth during up markets and defend against significant losses during major market downturns.

The historic relationship between rising equity markets and periods of low volatility was on display in 2013 as equity markets rallied throughout the year while the level of equity market risk declined to unusually low levels. Therefore, the risk management strategy sought to increase our equity exposure to achieve the desired 10% level of volatility. However, it could not achieve this due to risk controls limiting the Portfolio’s maximum equity exposure. Given the strong performance of U.S. equities, the Portfolio’s lower level of equity market exposure relative to the Index, which does not limit the equity exposure level, was a major contributor to the Portfolio’s underperformance for the period. Holdings of REITS and TIPS also contributed to the Portfolio’s underperformance relative to both the Index and composite benchmark.

OUTLOOK

We expect the U.S. economic recovery to continue to gain strength into 2014 and to provide a firm foundation for continued improvements in growth and employment, even in the face of the Federal Reserve’s tapering activities. It is important to remember that the Fed’s taper is merely an inflection point in its provision of extraordinary post-crisis support. The Fed still provides levels of support far above and beyond historical norms; it merely has switched from expanding to reducing that level gradually over time. Moreover, should the withdrawal of Fed support unexpectedly push the economy back into recession, there is no reason to think the Fed would not slow or even reverse its decisions, unless inflation becomes a serious problem.

A bigger question is whether equity valuations already reflect current growth expectations, or whether there is room for continued price/earnings multiple expansion in 2014. Returns of near 30% in 2013 already include a substantial component of multiple expansion, and so it is possible that financial markets may need to rest a bit in order to digest that expansion before moving any higher. However, we do think that improvements in the consumer balance sheet and employment, in combination with likely continued headwinds in fixed income, mean that more people will be ready to put investment money to work, and especially into equities. In this environment, it seems reasonable to expect continued multiple expansion in 2014, even if at a slower rate than was observed in 2013.

In a market environment characterized by dominant performance from a single asset class, in this case U.S. stocks, returns from a diversified asset allocation strategy will inevitably trail. However, over a longer time horizon time, the benefits from diversification should produce better risk-adjusted returns than can be had from investing in any single asset class.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Exchange traded products 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.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Exchange traded products $13,024,040  — $13,024,040
Other debt obligations $506,126  — 506,126
TOTAL $13,024,040 $506,126  — $13,530,166
Other financial instruments** $32,163  — $32,163

 

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

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

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. 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 pay-

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13


 

ments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE Mini Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 10 contracts and $460,253 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to 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 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. 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 regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $12,989,492 and $424,760, respectively.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013
Ordinary income $104,897
Total $104,897

 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $602,493
Unrealized (depreciation) (167,870)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $434,623
Undistributed ordinary income $26,245
Undistributed long-term capital gain $3,006
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $13,095,543

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 15


 

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 the 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.

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

18 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)


 

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.

CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

From inception on April 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio returned 6.59%, underperforming the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 12% Total Return Index, which returned 16.70%.

Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices* that more closely reflect the asset allocation strategy than the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.

Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio also underperformed the blended composite benchmark return of 11.19%.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The equity markets finished 2013 on a strong note with many indices registering all-time highs despite mixed economic signals and concerns over the Fed’s “tapering” of long-term asset purchases and exit from quantitative easing. While much of the market commentary during the year focused on what was happening at the Federal Reserve, an important and sometimes overlooked driver of economic activity, and by extension Fed policy, was the improving health of the consumer balance sheet. As the overall economic recovery stabilized, improvements in the labor and housing markets, coupled with robust equity market performance, all contributed to further strengthen the consumer balance sheet.

As a result, U.S. consumer confidence and spending have recovered considerably from post-financial-crisis lows and are now contributing to GDP growth. Growing consumer confidence and reduced risk aversion also helped keep volatility subdued during the year as macro-risks faded from the forefront and investors shifted their attention to nascent signs of growth in the global economy.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.26% (includes Acquired Fund fees). 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.

Stocks were the top performing asset class for the year, led by U.S. equities with the Russell 3000 Index, representing the total U.S. equity market, returning 33.55% and outperforming international stocks as the MSCI EAFE Index returned 23.29%. Bonds produced a negative return for the first time in more than a decade as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.02%. Low inflation hit Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities particularly hard, with the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index declining 8.61%. The MSCI US REIT Index finished the year at 2.47%, despite the negative impact of tapering on mortgage rates during the second half of the year.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

The Portfolio seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 12% while pursuing growth potential and some current income. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a group of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and uses a derivative-based risk management strategy, primarily using futures contracts on various market indices. In an effort to manage long-term volatility, the target asset allocation model is designed to reflect the specified target level of risk. Meanwhile, the risk management strategy is employed to mitigate short-term fluctuations in volatility and realize a long-term risk level over a shorter time frame. The risk management strategy combines two components--volatility management and a capital protection strategy--that work together in an effort to reduce the negative effects of high portfolio volatility while seeking to participate in growth during up markets and defend against significant losses during major market downturns.

The historic relationship between rising equity markets and periods of low volatility was on display in 2013 as equity markets rallied throughout the year while the level of equity market risk declined to unusually low levels. Therefore, the risk management strategy sought to increase our equity exposure to achieve the desired 12% level of volatility. However, it could not achieve this due to risk controls limiting the Portfolio’s maximum equity exposure. Given the strong performance of U.S. equities, the Portfolio’s lower level of equity market exposure relative to the Index, which does not limit the equity exposure level, was a major contributor to the Portfolio’s underperformance for the period. Holdings of REITS and TIPS also contributed to the Portfolio’s underperformance relative to both the Index and composite benchmark.

OUTLOOK

We expect the U.S. economic recovery to continue to gain strength into 2014 and to provide a firm foundation for continued improvements in growth and employment, even in the face of the Federal Reserve’s tapering activities. It is important to remember that the Fed’s taper is merely an inflection point in its provision of extraordinary post-crisis support. The Fed still provides levels of support far above and beyond historical norms; it merely has switched from expanding to reducing that level gradually over time. Moreover, should the withdrawal of Fed support unexpectedly push the economy back into recession, there is no reason to think the Fed would not slow or even reverse its decisions, unless inflation becomes a serious problem.

A bigger question is whether equity valuations already reflect current growth expectations, or whether there is room for continued price/earnings multiple expansion in 2014. Returns of near 30% in 2013 already include a substantial component of multiple expansion, and so it is possible that financial markets may need to rest a bit in order to digest that expansion before moving any higher. However, we do think that improvements in the consumer balance sheet and employment, in combination with likely continued headwinds in fixed income, mean that more people will be ready to put investment money to work, and especially into equities. In this environment, it seems reasonable to expect continued multiple expansion in 2014, even if at a slower rate than was observed in 2013.

In a market environment characterized by dominant performance from a single asset class, in this case U.S. stocks, returns from a diversified asset allocation strategy will inevitably trail. However, over a longer time horizon time, the benefits from diversification should produce better risk-adjusted returns than can be had from investing in any single asset class.

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, 2013 to December 31, 2013).

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.

Hypothetical
 
(5% return per year before expenses)

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.83%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth 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 twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows: Exchange traded products 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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13


 

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At December 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Exchange traded products $24,393,922  — $24,393,922
Other debt obligations $1,287,595  — 1,287,595
TOTAL $24,393,922 $1,287,595  — $25,681,517
Other financial instruments** $62,627  — $62,627

 

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

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

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. 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,

14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT


 

daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index, MSCI EAFE Mini Index, E-Mini S&P 400 Index and E-Mini Russell 2000 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 18 contracts and $393,493 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to 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 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. 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 regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, $2,038 was payable at period end.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $5,094 was payable at period end.

Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $506 for the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, $78 was payable at period end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $40,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through December 31, 2013, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $23,284,230 and $174,340, respectively.

Capital Loss Carryforwards  
No Expiration Date:  
Short-term ($34,190)
Long-term (57,120)

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: 2013
Ordinary income $171,499
Total $171,499

 

16 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT


 

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $1,419,256
Unrealized (depreciation) (139,289)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $1,279,967
Undistributed ordinary income $1,276
Capital loss carryforward ($91,310)
 
Federal income tax cost of investments $24,401,550

 

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.

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 exchange traded funds.

Undistributed net investment income ($261)
Accumulated net realized gain/(loss) 261

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the 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 period ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2013, 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.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund, by visiting the Calvert website at www. calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

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.

(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.
