John Streur
President and Chief Executive Officer, Calvert Investments, Inc.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
What once was a small social movement seemed to crystalize last year as the investing public began to recognize that financial and social goals can be represented by sustainable, responsible and impact investment strategies. The growth of this movement is influencing the entire world and fills us with optimism about the role capital markets and corporations can play in unlocking value beyond balance sheets and income statements.
As a global socially responsible investing (SRI) leader, we at Calvert are gratified that new findings from The Forum for Responsible and Social Investment reveal an explosion of SRI integration among all professional managers. U.S.-domiciled assets under management using responsible strategies grew to $6.57 trillion in 2014 from $3.74 trillion at the start of 2012. Approximately one of every six dollars under domestic professional management is now following SRI strategies.
A Look at 2015
While responsible investing is expanding at an exciting pace, the economic conditions in 2015 presented challenges including slower domestic growth, uncertainty over central bankers’ policy decisions, and volatility across both emerging markets and mature markets in Asia and Europe. These conditions placed downward pressure on multinational corporations’ capital expenditures, small and mid-sized business investments, commodity prices and consumer spending. Also at play is the heavy debt burden of developed countries. This debt burden results in a troubling sequence of events: countries must fund interest on the debt instead of funding innovation and development; the lack of development dampens growth; low growth limits employment opportunities; decreased employment opportunities disproportionally affect the poor. We believe this cycle will keep economic growth low for the foreseeable future.
In the face of this lower growth environment, we need to look for ways to improve economic inclusion and allow disadvantaged people to participate in a slow growth economy.
We are encouraged by evidence that global leaders recognize this need and are starting to take steps to replace it with a positive sequence of events: solving urgent social and environmental problems, which leads to stronger economies, which leads to growth and better employment opportunities.
The Evolution at Calvert
To respond to recent market swings, we have taken steps to manage your portfolio conservatively by focusing on equity and fixed-income investments best suited to the climate. Our steps included a thorough assessment of both the financial characteristics and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of a number of companies. As appropriate across funds, we strategically re-allocated capital to lower-risk, stable-return assets.
In addition to serving as stewards of your money, we also implemented a strategy to reinforce our focus on shareholders as well as the value they specifically seek from both a financial and social perspective. Our new leadership team implemented a complex-wide plan that spanned reducing fees for many funds, enhancing research capabilities and aligning most strategies under our Principles for Responsible Investment. This effort resulted in the reduction of several Calvert funds’ expense ratios by more than 10 percent.

Calvert has also publicly amplified the values held by our leadership and shareholders. During the 2015 proxy season, we co-filed or filed a variety of shareholder proposals and resolutions—specific to agricultural, environmental and diversity issues. We also advocated for responsible investing at key forums, such as an Impact Over Easy event, and partnered with Harvard University professor George Serafeim to further define for investors the evolving role of the corporation in society. Lastly, I was honored to attend the United Nations Development Conference and chair the Roundtable on Peace and Stability at the Private Sector Forum on Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.
Looking Ahead to 2016 and Beyond
In the months to come, we need to adopt more modest economic growth expectations as China sputters, emerging economies confront fiscal woes, and political uncertainty looms in the U.S. and elsewhere. We believe this year may well mark the beginning of a lower-growth period that extends into the foreseeable future. But while research-driven investment strategies can adapt relatively quickly to a shifting landscape, capital markets participants must also consciously work to help ensure the less fortunate and those championing key environmental and social causes do not bear the brunt of economic tightening. To overlook this obligation in the near-term will only perpetuate inequalities that hinder all global citizens over the long-term.
Our 2016 outlook is both pragmatic and optimistic. The recent Vatican Encyclical and Paris Climate Agreement reinforces to us that the entire world—not just segments of the institutional investment community—is rapidly embracing the principles that underpin SRI strategies. Ongoing evidence of this shift is further energizing us as we leverage our bolstered research processes to ensure ESG standards, fundamental quality and fair valuation guide every investment we make.
Despite day-to-day fluctuations in the markets, the next year will be a transformative chapter in the story of how the global capital markets ultimately align financial and social goals. Our leadership appreciates and recognizes that it is your trust in us that empowers Calvert to help drive this transformation. Thank you for the opportunity to manage investments on your behalf.
Sincerely,
John Streur
President and Chief Executive Officer
Calvert Investments

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
Rachel Volynsky
Vice President, Portfolio Manager

Assistant Portfolio Manager
Market Review
The U.S. held up better than most developed markets in 2015, but the S&P 500 Index only managed to eke out a +1.4% total return. Stock markets in resource rich economies suffered large declines in U.S. dollar terms, while Japan was a relative bright spot with a +10% total return. This year has been particularly challenging for value investors - with a sluggish global economy, China’s growth decelerating, and commodity prices falling, investors were willing to pay a premium for growth opportunities.
Calendar year 2015 will likely be remembered as the year of the FANGs (FB, AMZN, NFLX, and GOOGL), with the market narrowing around a small handful of larger cap growth stocks. Regardless of business quality, balance sheet strength and valuation the market in general rewarded companies that posted positive earnings revisions and sales momentum, the top 2 contributing factors to returns over the past year.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
On October 1, 2015, we adopted the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investing.
The portfolio is free of fossil fuel investments
Our stock selection process is value-driven, seeking companies with (1) solid balance sheets, (2) good businesses with strong products & processes, (3) strong company management, (4) trading at a discount to intrinsic value.  We look for opportunities where the market has been overly punitive, provided the targets have solid corporate governance and favorable ESG characteristics/themes.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
Stock selection was the primary detractor from our relative performance as this past year’s market sentiment has overly punished still strong companies that did post modest negative earnings revisions, due to short term
 
factors. A few of our holdings in the consumer discretionary sector struggled to adapt to changing consumer habits.
Retailers The Gap and Kingfisher plc are improving their supply chains to react faster to the competition
Time Warner should weather changing TV viewing habits with its strong content and subscription based model
Strong domestic currencies and weak emerging market demand proved to be strong headwinds for another group of our holdings.
Eaton and Cummins are both well-capitalized industrial companies with energy conservation themes to support earnings through the cycle
Swatch’s luxury brands are expected to continue to appeal to the emerging Chinese consumer in face of a slowing Chinese economy
Positive contributors to our relative performance included stock selection in consumer staples, technology and telecom sectors. Eliminating fossil fuels paid off well for us in light of oil’s 30% price decline and the weak demand for electric utilities.
Unilever and PepsiCo outperforming, capitalizing on health and wellness opportunities
Deutsche Telekom benefited from an increased its focus on return on capital and substantial improvements in its US subsidiary T-Mobile
Both Alphabet (formerly known as Google) and Microsoft have benefited from successful strategy transformation and better financial discipline
Sector underweights in Electric Utilities and Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

Positioning and Market Outlook
In summary, we maintain our conviction in the value philosophy and are excited about the defensive positioning of the Fund. We see the recent weakness in our holdings as creating greater upside return targets over our three to five year investment horizon and potentially sooner as many of the recent detractors revert from their oversold levels.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class I shares, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with a broad based market index. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

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

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 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 eleven 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 applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common and preferred stock 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 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 and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

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



Debt securities are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain

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




are recorded 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 and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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 $36,758,971 and $98,879,652, respectively.
Capital Loss Carryforward
 
EXPIRATION DATE
 
2017
($4,860,481)
2018
(3,201,024)
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. 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015
2014
Ordinary income

$163,277

14,806,187

Total

$3,864,828


$16,985,551

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$4,384,522

Unrealized (depreciation)
(8,902,555)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

($4,518,033
)
Undistributed ordinary income

$2,067,749

Undistributed long-term capital gain

$6,339,380

Capital loss carryforward

($8,061,505
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$83,455,544

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales and Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation.
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.
Undistributed net investment income

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Portfolio. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board took into consideration,

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



among other factors, the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Portfolio and the Advisor. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and above the median of its peer group for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board took into account management’s discussion of Portfolio performance and management’s continued close monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. The Board also considered that a new portfolio manager was added to the current team in July 2014. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action is being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio's advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were 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 is currently reimbursing 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 is currently reimbursing 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) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance; (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.

DISCUSSION

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market was largely unchanged for 2015 as the market grappled with competing economic forces. The first six months of the year were marked by generally calm equity markets and the last six months saw a significant increase in volatility. After much speculation and anticipation, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates in December for the first time in nearly 10 years. Turmoil in Chinese markets finally spread across the globe as the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index lost 12% over a six week period. Domestic economic data has been generally positive, if not robust. Unemployment stands at nearly 5% at year-end; however gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been weak by historical recovery standards.
Investment Strategy and Technique
As an index fund, the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (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 and holds each member of the index. Cash holdings gain exposure to the index via futures contracts so that 100% of the Portfolio’s assets are fully invested.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio returned 0.98% compared with 1.38% for the S&P 500 Index. The underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur. The Portfolio continued to meet its objective by closely tracking the Index.
Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016, the outlook for equities is mixed. The economy continues to expand modestly and headline employment is nearing peak levels. With the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, it is giving the economy a vote of confidence.
However, there is no shortage of risk as we enter the new year. The bull market that began in 2009 is starting to

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.46%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 eleven 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 applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common stock 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 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 and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 23




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 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 are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, securities valued at $774, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

*** The value listed for these securities reflects unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as shown on the Schedule of Investments.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives 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 Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

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 year with an average number of contracts as in the following table:
Derivative Description
Average Number of Contracts*
Futures Contracts long
78
Futures Contracts short
* Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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 Portfolio who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.25%, of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2016. The contractual expense cap is 0.42%. 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. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

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



On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation made by CIAS to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee paid by the Calvert Funds at 0.12% for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. CIAS and the Portfolio have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 0.12% administrative fee for all share classes commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for Class I (the difference between the current administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.
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 $26,972 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Portfolio 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 $44,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Portfolio’s assets. 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 $13,863,228 and $14,989,118, 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. 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts and Section 1256 futures 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.

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — REORGANIZATION
On December 11, 2013, 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 Equity Portfolio (“Equity”) 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 Equity.
Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 11, 2014 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2014.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
Merged Portfolio
Shares
Acquiring Portfolio
Shares
Value
Equity
414,513
S&P 500
87,703
$
9,936,888

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 Equity 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.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisition were as follows:
 
 
Unrealized Appreciation
 
 
Merged Portfolio
Net Assets
(Depreciation)
Acquiring Portfolio
Net Assets
Equity
$9,936,888
$3,099,235
S&P 500
$353,291,843
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, S&P 500’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been as follows:
Net investment income .................................................................................................$ 5,602,503 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments............................... $38,567,547 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations........................................................ $44,170,050
Because S&P 500 and Equity sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Equity that have been included in S&P 500’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2014.

(a) $5,595,559 as reported, plus $6,944 from Equity pre-merger.
(b) $38,626,622 as reported, plus ($59,075) from Equity pre-merger.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2015, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.




























NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio considers 93.6% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code and $5,882,206 of the long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividends in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31




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, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory 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 is currently reimbursing 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 is currently reimbursing 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 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, 2015, 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.

DISCUSSION

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market was largely unchanged for 2015 as the market grappled with competing economic forces. The first six months of the year were marked by generally calm equity markets and the last six months saw a significant increase in volatility. After much speculation and anticipation, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates in December for the first time in nearly 10 years. Turmoil in Chinese markets finally spread across the globe as the Standard & Poor's (S&P) MidCap 400 Index lost 10% over a six week period. Domestic economic data has been generally positive, if not robust. Unemployment stands at nearly 5% at year-end; however gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been weak by historical recovery standards.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
As an index fund the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the Portfolio) seeks as closely as possible to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach and holds each member of the index. Cash holdings gain exposure to the index via futures contracts so that 100% of the Portfolio’s assets are fully invested.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio’s Class I shares returned -2.68% compared with -2.18% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) MidCap 400 Index. The underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur. The Portfolio continued to meet its objective by closely tracking the Index. Midcap stocks underperformed the broad equity market as the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors within the midcap universe significantly underperformed these sectors in the broad equity market.

Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016, the outlook for equities is mixed. The economy continues to expand modestly and headline employment is nearing peak levels. With the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, it is giving the economy a vote of confidence.

However, there is no shortage of risk as we enter the new year. The bull market that began in 2009 is starting to show its age as questions arise over its ability to continue now that the Federal Reserve has essentially taken its foot off the gas. Commodity price declines continue to point to weak global growth, which will be a headwind to new highs in the stock market.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.53%. 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common stock 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 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

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



materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account and are categorized as Level 2 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.
Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, securities valued at $0, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

^ Level 3 securities are valued at $0 and represent 0.0% of net assets.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures. 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 Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 400 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with an average number of contracts as in the following table:

*Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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.
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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.

Capital Loss Carryforwards
 
EXPIRATION DATE
 
2016

($1,412,024
)
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. 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015

2014

Ordinary income

Total

$4,213,715


$22,326,013

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$68,138,857

Unrealized (depreciation)
(16,394,937)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$51,743,920

$16,160,644

Capital loss carryforward

($1,412,024
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$183,522,007

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due wash sales, real estate investment trusts and Section 1256 futures 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.

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory 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 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 noted that the Advisor is not currently reimbursing any 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. 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, 2015, 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.

PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
Kevin L. Keene
Vice President, Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market was largely unchanged for 2015 as the market grappled with competing economic forces. The first six months of the year were marked by generally calm equity markets and the last six months saw a significant increase in volatility. After much speculation and anticipation, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates in December for the first time in nearly 10 years. Turmoil in Chinese markets finally spread across the globe as the NASDAQ 100 Index lost 14% over a six week period. Domestic economic data has been generally positive, if not robust. Unemployment stands at nearly 5% at year-end; however gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been weak by historical recovery standards.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
As an index portfolio, the Calvert VP NASDAQ 100 Index Portfolio (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 and holds each member of the index. Cash holdings gain exposure to the index via futures contracts so that 100% of the Portfolio’s assets are fully invested.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class I shares returned 9.07% compared with 9.75% for the NASDAQ 100 Index (The Index). The underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur. The Portfolio continued to meet its objective by closely tracking the Index. The NASDAQ 100 Index outperformed the broad equity market as its focus on large cap stocks, a heavy weighting in the technology sector, and no exposure to the energy sector were all positives in 2015.
Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016, the outlook for equities is mixed. The economy continues to expand modestly and headline employment is nearing peak levels.

With the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, it is giving the economy a vote of confidence. However, there is no shortage of risk as we enter the new year. The bull market that began in 2009 is starting to show its age as questions arise over its ability to continue now that the Federal Reserve has essentially taken its foot off the gas. Commodity price declines continue to point to weak global growth, which will be a headwind to new highs in the stock market.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.63%. 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the Fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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 or periods 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares commenced operations on October 30, 2015. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan expenses, while Class I shares are not. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. 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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common stock 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 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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 13




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 and are categorized as Level 2 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 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 are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and market index futures contracts. 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 adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini NASDAQ 100 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with an average number of contracts as in the following table:
Derivative Description
Average Number of Contracts*
Futures contracts long
38
Futures contracts short
 
 
*Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Portfolio charged a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund. The redemption fee was accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. This fee was eliminated effective February 2, 2015.
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 $9,896,812 and $6,848,601, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015
2014
Ordinary income

$197,601


$1,696,565

Long-term capital gains
1,373,585

7,168,940

Total

$1,571,186


$8,865,505

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$44,268,681

Unrealized (depreciation)
(869,084)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$43,399,597

Undistributed ordinary income

$597,268

$3,256,761

Federal income tax cost of investments

$50,444,450

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales and Section 1256 contracts.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21



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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group and 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 is not currently reimbursing any Portfolio expenses. 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, 2015, 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.

PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
Kevin Keene
Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market was largely unchanged for 2015 as the market grappled with competing economic forces. The first six months of the year were marked by generally calm equity markets and the last six months saw a significant increase in volatility. After much speculation and anticipation, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates in December for the first time in nearly 10 years. Turmoil in Chinese markets finally spread across the globe as the Russell 2000 Index lost 12% over a six week period. Domestic economic data has been generally positive, if not robust. Unemployment stands at nearly 5% at year-end; however gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been weak by historical recovery standards.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
As an index fund, the VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (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 and holds each member of the index. Cash holdings gain exposure to the index via futures contracts so that 100% of the Portfolio’s assets are fully invested.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio’s Class I shares returned -5.19% compared with -4.41% for the Russell 2000 Index. The underperformance relative to the Index was largely attributable to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur. The Portfolio continued to meet its objective by closely tracking the Index. The Russell 2000 Index underperformed the broad equity market as small cap stocks trailed large cap stocks.
Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016, the outlook for equities is mixed. The economy continues to expand modestly and headline employment is nearing peak levels. With the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, it is giving the economy a vote of confidence.

However, there is no shortage of risk as we enter the new year. The bull market that began in 2009 is starting to show its age as questions arise over its ability to continue now that the Federal Reserve has essentially taken its foot off the gas. Commodity price declines continue to point to weak global growth, which will be a headwind to new highs in the stock market.

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class I shares, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with a broad based market index. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.76%. 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common stock 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 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

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




materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account and are categorized as Level 2 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.
Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, securities valued at $13,201, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

^ Level 3 securities represents 0.0% of net assets.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures. 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 Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

During the year, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini Russell 2000 Index futures. The volume of outstanding contracts has varied throughout the year with an average number of contracts as in the following table:
Derivative Description
Average Number of Contracts*
Futures contracts long
52
Futures contracts short
*Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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

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



Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation made by CIAS to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee paid by the Calvert Funds at 0.12% for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. CIAS and the Portfolio have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 0.12% administrative fee for all share classes commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for Class F and I (the difference between the current administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.
Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class F shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.20% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F.
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 $11,704 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Portfolio 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 $44,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Portfolio’s assets. 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 $20,257,506 and $36,560,556, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015
2014
Ordinary income

$551,674


$2,280,149

Long-term capital gains
3,652,072

17,253,271

Total

$4,203,746


$19,533,420

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$37,192,576

Unrealized (depreciation)
(19,667,786)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$17,524,790

Undistributed ordinary income

$1,095,909

Undistributed long-term capital gain

$13,215,172

Federal income tax cost of investments

$119,562,095

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, and Section 1256 futures contracts.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 57




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, passive foreign investment companies and foreign currency transactions.
Undistributed net investment income

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — REORGANIZATION
On December 11, 2013, the Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Series, Inc. approved the reorganization of the Calvert VP Small Cap Growth Portfolio (“VP Small Cap”) into the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index (“VP Russell”).
Shareholders approved the reorganization at a meeting on April 11, 2014 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2014. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
Merged Portfolio
Shares
Acquiring Portfolio
Shares
Value
VP Small Cap
525,988
VP Russell, Class I
316,884
$25,315,650
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by VP Russell were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from VP Small Cap were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of VP Russell’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisition were as follows:
 
 
Unrealized Appreciation
 
 
Merged Portfolio
Net Assets
(Depreciation)
Acquiring Portfolio
Net Assets
VP Small Cap
$25,315,650
$6,095,146
VP Russell
$148,811,142
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, VP Russell’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been as follows:
Net investment income ..................................................................................................$949,473 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments............................... $5,364,591 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations........................................................$6,314,064
Because VP Small Cap and VP Russell 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 VP Small Cap that have been included in VP Russell’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2014.
(a) $993,442 as reported, plus ($43,969) from VP Small Cap pre-merger.
(b) $6,328,583 as reported, plus ($963,992) from VP Small Cap pre-merger.

NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2015, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.






























NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio considers 66.4% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code and $3,652,072 of the long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividends in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015 and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. 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 (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 is currently reimbursing a portion of the Portfolio 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 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, 2015, 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.

PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
Theodore D. Miller
Vice President, World Asset Management, Inc.
Market Review
International equity environment for 2015 was slightly weaker as the low interest rate environment and global deflationary trends drove international economic growth lower especially in the natural resource producing countries. Developed Markets experienced a rising first half of the year only to spend the second half of the year giving back all of the gains as energy and metals stocks showed severe weakness. Despite the commodity deflation worries, a strengthening US Dollar has helped to make foreign products look more attractive relative to US importers and helped foreign profit margins. In emerging markets, China continued to show weakening growth and investors are increasingly looking at a hard landing in the equity markets there.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Calvert VP EAFE International Index Fund (“Fund”) seeks to match as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Free Index (“MSCI Index”). As an index fund, the Fund uses a passive management buy and hold approach. All investment decisions are based on the goal of producing returns equivalent to the index.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
Foreign stock markets had flat absolute returns for the year, slightly weaker than the US S&P 500 Index. The Fund posted a -1.61% return for the year, compared to the -0.39% return for the MSCI EAFE Index. There were 21 countries in the EAFE universe as of December 31. Japan and the U.K. were the most heavily weighted, with weights of 23.4% and 19.3% respectively, accounting for 42.7% of the Index. The strongest returns for 2015 came from Denmark, Ireland and Belgium. Singapore, Spain and Norway were the least performing countries in the EAFE universe. For the year, the strongest sector returns were in the Consumer Staples sector, followed by Health Care and Consumer Discretionary. The weakest sectors were Energy, Materials and Information Technology.

Positioning and Market Outlook
We expect a volatile 2016 in the financial markets emanating from inconsistent economic growth in the United States, Europe and Asia. The US Federal Reserve desire to raise rates may lead to four more raises in 2016 however market volatility may mitigate that number. Continued high levels of oil production and storage will keep a lid on oil and gasoline prices globally and resulting lower prices will eventually help increase consumer and investor confidence.

We do however see a mixed environment internationally with increasing volatility in the European and Asian equity markets as Arab, Chinese and Russian geopolitical concerns and revalued Chinese equities cause markets to swing.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.99%. 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common stock, Preferred stock, and Rights 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 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 and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. 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.
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 Portfolio 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, 2015, securities valued at $0 or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.

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. 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.

Federal income tax cost of investments

$147,445,143

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, passive foreign investment companies, and income reclassifications.
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 Fund are due to foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and below the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of Portfolio expenses and fair valuation determinations on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory 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 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 is not currently reimbursing any Portfolio expenses. 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. 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, 2015, as compared to the Portfolio's peer universe, and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio's performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor's expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm's length. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Subadvisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and the subadvisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor 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.

PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
Tina J. Udell
Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
While the US economy and labor markets continued to show signs of strength, the markets were plagued by continued falling oil prices, heightened concerns over global growth (especially China), renewed threats of terrorism and plummeting commodity prices. Treasury yields increased along the curve with the most profound impact on the front-end in conjunction with the anticipation of the Federal Reserve increasing short-term rates. As expected, the Federal Reserve hiked rates with two weeks left to spare in the year, after multiple quarters of debate over the timing of the liftoff. Higher rates resulted in lackluster performance in Treasuries. The credit markets had disappointing results as well, as credit spreads were forced higher in the second half of the year on the back of heightened credit risk aversion. The securitized sector had the strongest performance within the Index due to stable mortgage rates and a lack of the spread widening experienced by credit assets.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Portfolio employs a passive management approach in an effort to mirror, as closely as possible, the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. However, with more than 9,700 securities in the Index, full replication is not feasible.
Therefore, we utilize 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 Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest in it directly. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio Class I shares returned 0.04% compared with 0.55% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The underperformance was largely due to fees and operating expenses, which the Index does not incur.

Positioning and Market Outlook
The outlook for 2016 is for continued economic growth in the U.S., led by the consumer, who is supported by low energy prices and solid wage gains. It is anticipated the Fed will continue along its highly publicized path, with possibly four more rate increases in 2016, dependent on inflation and strength in the labor markets. Again the impact of higher rates will be more pronounced on the short-end of the curve with the longer-end moving higher, but remaining relatively range-bound. Stress in energy and commodities will bleed into the new year, continuing to put pressure on credit and corporate fundamentals until commodity prices stabilize.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class I shares, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with a broad based market index. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.50%. 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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 or periods 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 or periods 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 Investment Grade 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares commenced operations on October 30, 2015. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan expenses, while Class I shares are not. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. 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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, municipal securities, 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 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.
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 Portfolio 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, 2015, securities valued at $2,177, or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

^ Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. (See the Notes to Schedule of Investments on page 15.) A debt obligation may be removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.

2014
Ordinary income
$283,601
$5,135,063
Total
$283,601
$5,135,063
As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$4,022,189

Unrealized (depreciation)
(1,896,229)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$2,125,960

Undistributed ordinary income

$4,890,811

Capital loss carryforward

($2,931,486
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$187,737,129

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

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — REORGANIZATIONS
On June 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. approved the reorganization of the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (“VP Inflation”) into the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (“VP Bond Index”). Shareholders approved the reorganization at a meeting on October 31, 2014 and the reorganization took place on November 14, 2014.
The acquisition was accomplished by a taxable exchange of the following shares:
Merged Portfolio
Shares
Acquiring Portfolio
Shares
Value
VP INFLATION
211,356
VP BOND INDEX
201,744
$11,267,111
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by VP Bond Index were recorded at fair value.

The net assets immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
Merged Portfolio
Net Assets
Acquiring Portfolio
Net Assets
VP INFLATION
$11,267,111
VP BOND INDEX
$203,877,715
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, VP Bond Index’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been as follows:
Net investment income
$5,376,920 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments
$11,081,684 (b)
 
 
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations
$16,458,604
Because VP Bond Index and VP Inflation 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 VP Inflation that have been included in VP Bond Index’s Statement of Operations since November 14, 2014.
(a) $4,493,498 as reported, plus $883,422 from VP Income pre-merger.
(b) $7,514,046 as reported plus $3,567,638 from VP Inflation pre-merger.
On December 11, 2013, the Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. approved the reorganization of the Calvert VP Income Portfolio (“VP Income”) into the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (“VP Bond Index”). Shareholders approved the reorganization at a meeting on April 11, 2014 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2014.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
Merged Portfolio
Shares
Acquiring Portfolio
Shares
Value
VP INCOME
1,995,827
VP BOND INDEX
592,020
$32,310,044
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by VP Bond Index were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from VP Income were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of VP Bond Index’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
Merged Portfolio
Net Assets
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Acquiring Portfolio
Net Assets
VP INCOME
$32,310,044
$552,102
VP BOND INDEX
$200,923,845
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, VP Bond Index’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been as follows:
Net investment income
$4,792,097 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments
$8,348,371 (b)
 
 
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations
$13,140,468
Because VP Bond Index and VP Income 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 VP Income that have been included in VP Bond Index’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2014.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and below the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. 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, and the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory 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 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 is not currently reimbursing any Portfolio expenses. 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, 2015, 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.

DISCUSSION

Market Review
The investment climate for commodities and commodity related companies was nothing short of dismal during 2015. The sector experienced sharp price drops and underperformed the overall equity market, with the best major sub-categories posting double digit declines.
Crude oil prices, as measured by West Texas Intermediate crude, started the year near $54 per barrel, and fell to $37 at year end as the positive effects of modest declines in supply were offset by softer economic reports out of China which put global economic strength and the Commodity’s level of demand into question. In concert with oil, other commodities generally fell hard, grains fared relatively better than most other commodities, trading down 10% to 15% on the year, pushed down by generally favorable growing conditions. Base-metals dropped harder, Copper and Zinc declined 24% and 26% respectively, with their declines attributed to concerns of a global slow-down, as well as some forecasted supply increases.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the Portfolio) invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that track various commodity, natural resource, and raw materials indices. The Portfolio is constructed to maintain diversified broad exposures to a wide variety of commodities and natural resources, offering exposures similar to the benchmark. Fund selection is based on the underlying company or commodity holdings, the fund management processes, and fund expenses. As of December 31,2015, the Portfolio’s largest exposure was to Energy at 65.3%, followed by Precious Metals at 9.2%, and Grains at about 9.0%.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio returned -24.86% compared to 1.38% for the benchmark Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. Concentrated holdings by design, 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 sectors.

The blended return from the Natural Resources Composite Benchmark, a mix of market indices that more closely reflects the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, returned -24.09% for the period.
There was a slight lag in performance attributed to the Fund’s fees, as well as the expenses of underlying investments. Pockets of strength could be found in a slight overweight to grains and an underweight to energy commodities, offset by a slight overweight to steel companies.
Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016 the outlook for commodities and natural resources is far from certain. The price declines and volatility of 2014 and 2015 have shaken market confidence and de-stabilized the market contributors. At current levels, our view is commodity and natural resource prices declines are reflected is the related stock prices, and we see an environment where price stabilization could yield above-average stock price recoveries within the Energy and Materials sectors. As such we hold a modest overweight exposure to funds holding stocks, and underweight more direct commodity exposures.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.25% (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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, 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 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 diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of eleven 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. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. 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.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT 9




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 Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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. 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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 U.S. 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.

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



Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. A Portfolio's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.55%, of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2016. The contractual expense cap is 0.79 %. 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 fees and expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation made by CIAS to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee paid by the Calvert Funds at 0.12% for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. CIAS and the Portfolio have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 0.12% administrative fee commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% (the difference between the current administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.
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 $4,132 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
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 $44,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Portfolio’s assets. 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 $12,557,355 and $12,144,401, respectively.
Capital Loss Carryforward
 
NO EXPIRATION DATE

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.

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




The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015
2014
Ordinary income

$161,820


$62,226

Long-term capital gains
89,471


Total

$251,291


$62,226

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation
$—

Unrealized (depreciation)
(22,300,778)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

($22,300,778
)
Undistributed ordinary income

$431,568

Capital loss carryforward

($2,915,916
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$68,892,162

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

($15,100
)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)
15,100

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2015, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.


NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio reports the maximum amount allowable of its net taxable income as eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. The Portfolio also considers $89,471 of the long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividends in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor's financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio's advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage, including the Advisor's process for monitoring "best execution"; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio's growth and size on the Portfolio's performance and expenses; the Advisor's compliance programs and policies; the Advisor's performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor's supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors' meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor's current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and below the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2015. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, a recent strategy change and management’s continued close monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action is 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 universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio's advisory fee was above the median of its peer universe and that total expenses were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. The Board noted that the Advisor is not currently reimbursing 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. 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, 2015, 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.

DISCUSSION
John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
Both stock and bond markets posted meager returns for 2015 with continued weak energy prices, concerns about slowing economic growth, and the specter of high interest rates weighing on investors. Growth stocks were the only bright spot in the market, outperforming value stocks around the globe and across the spectrum of market capitalization. U.S. and foreign equities produced similar returns, with a strong dollar trimming back local market returns for foreign equities. Emerging market equities were the big losers for 2015 suffering double digit losses during a steep market sell-off and spike in volatility in August.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (the Portfolio) seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 8% while pursuing current income and modest growth potential consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and utilizes a derivatives-based risk management strategy. The asset allocated portfolios of ETFs is designed to achieve market returns at a level of risk that is consistent with the Portfolio’s volatility target in a long-term context, while the risk management strategy employs futures contracts to respond to short-term changes in market volatility. 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 during market downturns while seeking to participate in up markets. The Portfolio’s realized volatility for the year was in line with its 8% target.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio returned -1.22%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 7.5% Total Return Index, which returned -2.64%.
Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices that more closely reflect the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy as compared to the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.
The Portfolio underperformed the blended composite benchmark’s return of 0.84%.
This year, the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 7.5% Index by 1.42%. The Portfolio’s advantage was realized during the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August. The Portfolio and the benchmark had high equity exposures coming into the market downturn because the volatility models of each recommended increased equity exposures during a period of very low equity market volatility. The Portfolio benefited from having a lower level of equity market exposure than the benchmark at this time due to the capital protection strategy and risk control policies. Consequently, when equity markets sold off, the Portfolio protected capital to a greater degree than did the benchmark. Over the balance of the year, the Portfolio generally benefited from a higher level of equity exposure than the benchmark as markets recovered all of the losses from the August sell off and closed out the year with a modest gain in the S&P 500 Index.

____________________________________ 
1 Volatility refers to the annualized standard deviation of daily logarithmic portfolio returns.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 1



Our volatility management and capital protection strategy protected the Portfolio against losses in the market’s sharp sell-off in August.
The Portfolio participated in rising markets earlier in the year and in the closing quarter, but often underperformed its primary benchmark during these periods due to risk control measures that limit the Portfolio’s equity exposure.
The Portfolio underperformed its secondary composite benchmark by 2.06%, primarily due to having its equity exposure at the highest allowed level heading into the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August.
Positioning and Market Outlook
As 2015 closed out, equity markets remained volatile. Our allocation across equity and fixed income ETFs has remained relatively stable across 2015 and into the new year. We use futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile, relying on our volatility management and capital protection strategy to determine the appropriate level of market risk for the Portfolio. Markets experienced an uptick in volatility and suffered losses in the closing days of 2015 and our strategy responded by decreasing the level of equity exposure (including futures contracts) in the Portfolio to 48.4%, which is in line with our long-term target for the Portfolio’s equity allocation.

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 1.03% (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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, 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 or periods in the three-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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, and 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 or periods in the three-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 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Portfolio 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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. 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.


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



Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

** The value listed for these securities reflects unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as shown on the Schedule of Investments.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and market index futures contracts. 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 adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

*Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally purchases and sales of shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. 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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.


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



Management has analyzed the Portfolio's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. A Portfolio's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly of 0.42% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2016. The contractual expense cap is 0.83%. 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 fees and expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation made by CIAS to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee paid by the Calvert Funds at 0.12% for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. CIAS and the Portfolio have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 0.12% administrative fee commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% (the difference between the current administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.
Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class F shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F.
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 $7,306 for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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 $44,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Portfolio’s assets. 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 $19,624,183 and $21,165,939, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
2015
2014
Ordinary income

$1,721,248


$1,288,365

Long-term capital gains

Total

$1,928,134


$1,596,169


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




As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$1,018,527

Unrealized (depreciation)
(2,538,307)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

($1,519,780
)
Undistributed ordinary income

$29,415

Undistributed capital gains

$308

Late year ordinary and post October capital loss deferrals

($124,523
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$97,905,756

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, Section 1256 futures contracts and loss deferral.
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 distribution recharacterizations.
Undistributed net investment income

($41,473
)
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)
41,473

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2015, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.








NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio reports the maximum amount allowable of its net taxable income as eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. The Portfolio also considers $206,844 of the long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividends in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

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 9, 2015, 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 Agreements between the Advisor and each Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreements 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 each 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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s statement that the Portfolio had performed in-line with expectations. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory in view of the Portfolio’s investment strategy.
In considering the Portfolio's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was at the median of its peer universe for the period ended June 30, 2015, and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. 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 each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio and that the Advisor is currently reimbursing the expenses of 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 each Subadvisor, including Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“AIP”), an affiliate of the Advisor, and is currently reimbursing 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 Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by each Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, each 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 each 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 each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio's performance record and each Subadvisor's performance in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor's personnel; each Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor's risk management processes; each 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 each Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreements.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio's performance during the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, 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 each Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and AIP were affiliated, and the subadvisory fee under each Investment Subadvisory Agreements 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 with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board took into account the fees Milliman 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 each Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the level of profitability to each 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 each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, 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 Agreements, 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) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio's assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory in view of the Portfolio’s investment strategy; 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 Subadvisors and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreements would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholder.

DISCUSSION
John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
Both stock and bond markets posted meager returns for 2015 with continued weak energy prices, concerns about slowing economic growth, and the specter of high interest rates weighing on investors. Growth stocks were the only bright spot in the market, outperforming value stocks around the globe and across the spectrum of market capitalization. U.S. and foreign equities produced similar returns, with a strong dollar trimming back local market returns for foreign equities. Emerging market equities were the big losers for 2015 suffering double digit losses during a steep market sell-off and spike in volatility in August.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 10% while pursuing current income and modest growth potential consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and utilizes a derivatives-based risk management strategy. The asset allocated portfolio of ETFs is designed to achieve market returns at a level of risk that is consistent with the Portfolio’s volatility target in a long-term context, while the risk management strategy employs futures contracts to respond to short-term changes in market volatility. 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 during market downturns while seeking to participate in up markets.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio returned -2.29%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% Total Return Index, which returned -3.64%.
Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices that more closely reflect the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy as compared to the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.
The Portfolio underperformed the blended composite benchmark’s return of 0.83%.
This year, the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% Index by 1.35%. The Portfolio’s advantage was realized during the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August. The Portfolio and the benchmark had high equity exposures coming into the market downturn because the volatility models of each recommended increased equity exposures during a period of very low equity market volatility. The Portfolio benefited from having a lower level of equity market exposure than the benchmark at this time due to the capital protection strategy and risk control policies. Consequently, when equity markets sold off, the Portfolio protected capital to a greater degree than did the benchmark.
Our volatility management and capital protection strategy protected the Portfolio against losses in the market’s sharp sell-off in August.
The Portfolio participated in rising markets earlier in the year and in the closing quarter, but often underperformed its primary benchmark during these periods due to risk control measures that limit the Portfolio’s equity exposure.
____________________________________ 
1 Volatility refers to the annualized standard deviation of daily logarithmic portfolio returns.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 1



The Portfolio underperformed its secondary composite benchmark by 3.12%, primarily due to having its equity exposure at the highest allowed level heading into the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August.
Positioning and Market Outlook
As 2015 closed out, equity markets remained volatile. Our allocation across equity and fixed income ETFs has remained relatively stable across 2015 and into the new year. We use futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile, relying on our volatility management and capital protection strategy to determine the appropriate level of market risk for the Portfolio. Markets experienced an uptick in volatility and suffered losses in the closing days of 2015 and our strategy responded by decreasing the level of equity exposure (including futures contracts) in the Portfolio to 57.7%, which is 6% below our long-term target for the Portfolio’s equity allocation.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.17% (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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
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.

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, 2015, 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2015, and 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 or periods in the three-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 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Portfolio 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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. 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.

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



Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

** The value listed for these securities reflects unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as shown on the Schedule of Investments.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and market index futures contracts. 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 adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

*Averages are based on activity levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally purchases and sales of shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. 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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.

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



Management has analyzed the Portfolio's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. A Portfolio's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly of 0.42% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2016. The contractual expense cap is 0.83%. 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 fees and expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
On November 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation made by CIAS to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee paid by the Calvert Funds at 0.12% for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. CIAS and the Portfolio have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 0.12% administrative fee commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% (the difference between the current administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.
Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Portfolio has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Portfolio to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its Class F shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F.
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 $3,858 for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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 $44,000. Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Portfolio’s assets. 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 $36,218,038 and $7,572,418, respectively.

($292,524

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

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




As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$463,670

Unrealized (depreciation)
(1,580,255)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

($1,116,585
)
Undistributed ordinary income

$102,069

Capital loss carryforward

($292,524
)
Late year ordinary and post October capital loss deferrals

($205,379
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$65,202,455

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, Section 1256 futures contracts, real estate investment trust adjustments and loss deferral.
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 distribution recharacterizations.

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

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 Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings 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 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2015, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.






NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio reports the maximum amount allowable of its net taxable income as eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, 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 Agreements between the Advisor and each Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreements 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 each Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s statement that the Portfolio had performed in-line with expectations. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory based on the Portfolio’s investment strategy.
In considering the Portfolio's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe for the period ended June 30, 2015, and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. 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 each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio and that the Advisor is currently reimbursing a portion of the expenses of 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 each Subadvisor, including Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“AIP”), an affiliate of the Advisor, and is currently reimbursing 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 Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by each Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, each 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 each 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 each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio's performance record and each Subadvisor's performance in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor's personnel; each Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor's risk management processes; each 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 each Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreements.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio's performance during the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, 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 each Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and AIP were affiliated, and the subadvisory fee under each 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 with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board took into account the fees Milliman 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 each Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the level of profitability to each 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 each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, 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 Agreements, 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) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio's assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory based on the Portfolio’s investment strategy; 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 Subadvisors and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreements would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

DISCUSSION
John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
Both stock and bond markets posted meager returns for 2015 with continued weak energy prices, concerns about slowing economic growth, and the specter of high interest rates weighing on investors. Growth stocks were the only bright spot in the market, outperforming value stocks around the globe and across the spectrum of market capitalization. U.S. and foreign equities produced similar returns, with a strong dollar trimming back local market returns for foreign equities. Emerging market equities were the big losers for 2015 suffering double digit losses during a steep market sell-off and spike in volatility in August.
Investment Strategy and Technique:
The Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) seeks to stabilize portfolio volatility1 around a target level of 12% while pursuing current income and modest growth potential consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve this objective, the Portfolio invests in a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) diversified across multiple asset classes and utilizes a derivatives-based risk management strategy. The asset allocated portfolios of ETFs is designed to achieve market returns at a level of risk that is consistent with the Portfolio’s volatility target in a long-term context, while the risk management strategy employs futures contracts to respond to short-term changes in market volatility. 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 during market downturns while seeking to participate in up markets.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2015, the Portfolio returned -3.51% outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 12% Total Return Index, which returned -4.51%.
Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices that more closely reflect the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy as compared to the single asset class benchmark listed above that is used to capture the impact of the volatility management strategy.
The Portfolio underperformed the blended composite benchmark’s return of 0.77%.
This year, the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 12% Index by 1%. The Portfolio’s advantage was realized during the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August. The Portfolio and the benchmark had high equity exposures coming into the market downturn because the volatility models of each recommended increased equity exposures during a period of very low equity market volatility. The Portfolio benefited from having a lower level of equity market exposure than the benchmark at this time due to the capital protection strategy and risk control policies. Consequently, when equity markets sold off, the Portfolio protected capital to a greater degree than did the benchmark.
Our volatility management and capital protection strategy protected the Portfolio against losses in the market’s sharp sell-off in August.
The Portfolio participated in rising markets earlier in the year and in the closing quarter, but often underperformed its primary benchmark during these periods due to risk control measures that limit the Portfolio’s equity exposure.
The Portfolio underperformed its secondary composite benchmark by 4.28%, primarily due to having its equity exposure at the highest allowed level heading into the equity market’s sharp sell-off in August.

1 Volatility refers to the annualized standard deviation of daily logarithmic portfolio returns.

Positioning and Market Outlook
As 2015 closed out, equity markets remained volatile. Our allocation across equity and fixed income ETFs has remained relatively stable across 2015 and into the new year. We use futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile, relying on our volatility management and capital protection strategy to determine the appropriate level of market risk for the Portfolio. Markets experienced an uptick in volatility and suffered losses in the closing days of 2015 and our strategy responded by decreasing the level of equity exposure (including futures contracts) in the Portfolio to 59.6%, which is 18% below our long-term target for the Portfolio’s equity allocation.

All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Visit calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.06% (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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund's investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).
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 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 eleven separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Portfolio 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. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. 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.

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



Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement     price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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 Portfolio 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, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
** The value listed for these securities reflects unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as shown on the Schedule of Investments.
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
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, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and market index futures contracts. 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 adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at year end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally purchases and sales of shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. 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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded 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 U.S. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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.

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



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.

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.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Total

$1,404,324


$843,131

As of December 31, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$1,930,648

Unrealized (depreciation)
(2,867,014)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

($936,366
)
Capital loss carryforward

($1,509,875
)
Federal income tax cost of investments

$112,737,651

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, real estate investment fund adjustments and Section 1256 futures 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 distribution recharacterizations.

BASIS FOR BOARD'S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2015, 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 Agreements between the Advisor and each Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor's personnel and the Advisor's revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreements 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 each Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor

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



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 above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2015. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s statement that the Portfolio had performed in-line with expectations. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory in view of the Portfolio’s investment strategy.
In considering the Portfolio's fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio's fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio's advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe for the period ended June 30, 2015, and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. 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 each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio and that the Advisor is currently reimbursing the expenses of 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 each Subadvisor, including Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“AIP”), an affiliate of the Advisor, and is currently reimbursing 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.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 17



In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by each Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, each 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 each 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 each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor's management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio's performance record and each Subadvisor's performance in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor's personnel; each Subadvisor's financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor's risk management processes; each 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 each Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreements.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio's performance during the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, 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 each Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and AIP were affiliated, and the subadvisory fee under each Investment Subadvisory Agreements 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 with Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board took into account the fees Milliman 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 each Subadvisor and the other factors considered. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the level of profitability to each 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 each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, 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 Agreements, 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) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio's assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in view of the Portfolio’s investment strategy; 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 Subadvisors and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreements would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

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

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