Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its risks. The Portfolio's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI"), both dated April 30, 2015, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. You can find the Portfolio's Prospectus, the SAI, and other information about the Portfolio online at www.calvert.com/variable. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-800-368-2745 or by sending an e-mail request to Prospectusrequest@calvert.com, or by asking a financial professional who offers shares of the Portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in large-cap U.S. common stocks that are trading at prices below what are believed to be their intrinsic value.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you invest in shares of the Portfolio.
The table and the following example do not reflect fees and charges imposed under the variable annuity contracts and life insurance policies (each a “Policy”) through which an investment may be made. If those fees and charges were included, costs would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your Policy for information regarding those fees and charges.

The investment advisor has agreed to contractually limit direct net annual fund operating expenses to 0.78% through April 30, 2016. Only the Board of Directors of the Portfolio may terminate the Portfolio’s expense limitation before the contractual period expires, upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:
 
you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated;
your investment has a 5% return each year;
the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same; and
any Calvert expense limitation is in effect for the period indicated in the fee table above.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$80
$264
$465
$1,043
Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (“turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the “Example”, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 72% of its portfolio’s average value.
INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio offers opportunities for long-term growth of capital through investments in large-cap company equity securities that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued. The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in the common stocks of large-cap companies. The Portfolio will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ notice before changing this 80% policy. The Portfolio defines large-cap companies as those within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell 1000 Value Index at the time of investment. As of December 31, 2014, the market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Value Index companies ranged from $276.8 million to $388.4 billion with a weighted average level of $112.3 billion.
Although primarily investing in large cap U.S. companies, the Portfolio may also invest in mid-cap and small-cap companies.



SUMMARY PROSPECTUS - APRIL 30, 2015 1



The Portfolio may not invest more than 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.
The Advisor seeks to identify common stocks of companies it believes are significantly undervalued compared to their perceived worth or prospects, historical valuations or the general market level of valuation. Value companies tend to have stock prices that are low relative to their earnings, dividends, assets or other financial measures. They may include companies which are temporarily out of favor with the market or which may have experienced adverse business developments but which have the potential for growth.
In selecting securities for the Portfolio, the Advisor primarily uses a bottom-up approach focused on fundamental analysis of issuers in a number of different sectors and industries, in light of the issuers’ current financial condition and industry position, as well as market, economic, political and regulatory conditions. Factors considered in assessing a company’s valuation and prospects may include analysis of earnings, assets, cash flows, allocation of capital, favorable supply/demand conditions for key products, development of new products or businesses, competitive position in the marketplace, and quality of management.
Responsible Investing. In conjunction with Calvert’s financial analysis, Calvert’s comprehensive responsible investment principles guide our investment research processes and decision-making. The principles are applied across industries and to specific companies in order to inform our view of risk and opportunity factors that may affect investment performance.
Principal Risks
You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio, or the Portfolio could underperform, because of the risks described below. An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Management Risk. Individual investments of the Portfolio may not perform as expected, and the portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result.
Stock Market Risk. The market prices of stocks held by the Portfolio may fall.
Common Stock Risk. Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition, on overall market and economic conditions, and on investors’ perception of a company’s well-being.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk. Prices of small-cap and mid-cap stocks can be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. Small-cap and mid-cap companies are more likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources and less depth of management than larger companies.
 
Value Stock Risk. Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole, which may not recognize a stock's intrinsic value for an unexpectedly long time. In addition, there is a risk that the portfolio manager's calculation of the stock's underlying value will not be reflected in the market price.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investing in foreign securities involves additional risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad. Other risks result from differences between regulations that apply to U.S. and foreign issuers and markets, and the potential for foreign markets to be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets.
Foreign Currency Risk. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall.
Responsible Investing Risk. Investing primarily in responsible investments carries the risk that, under certain market conditions, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in a broader array of investments. The application of responsible investment principles may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show the Portfolio’s annual returns and its long-term performance, which give some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance has varied from year to year. The table compares the Portfolio’s performance over time with that of a benchmark index and a peer average. The performance reflected in the bar chart and table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.
The Portfolio’s past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Portfolio will perform in the future. For updated performance information, visit www.calvert.com.
The returns shown do not reflect fees and charges imposed under the variable annuity contracts and life insurance policies through which an investment may be made. If those fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of the Portfolio currently are sold only to participating insurance companies (the “Insurance Companies”) for allocation to their separate accounts to fund benefits under Policies issued by the Insurance Companies. The Insurance Companies redeem shares of the Portfolio to make benefit and surrender payments under the terms of the Policies.
Shares in the Portfolio are offered to the Insurance Companies, without sales charge, and redemptions are processed, on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. The share price is based on the Portfolio’s net asset value, determined after an Insurance Company receives the premium payment or a surrender request in acceptable form. The Portfolio does not have minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements.
A Policy owner’s interest in the shares of the Portfolio is subject to the terms of the particular Policy described in the prospectus for that Policy. If you are considering purchasing a Policy, you should carefully review the prospectus for that Policy.
TAX INFORMATION
As a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code, the Portfolio is not subject to federal income tax, or to federal excise tax, to the extent that it distributes its net investment income and realized capital gains to the separate accounts of the Insurance Companies. The Portfolio intends to distribute its net investment income and realized capital gains to the extent necessary to remain qualified as a regulated investment company.
Since the only shareholders of the Portfolio are the Insurance Companies, no discussion is included here regarding the federal income tax consequences at the Policy owner level. For information on the federal tax consequences to you as a purchaser of a Policy, see the prospectus for your Policy.
PAYMENTS TO INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THEIR AFFILIATES
The Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for the Policies. The Portfolio and its related companies may make payments to a sponsoring Insurance Company (or its affiliates) for distribution and/or other services. These payments may be a factor that the Insurance Company considers in including the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Policy and may create a conflict of interest. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your Policy may contain additional information about these payments.
