Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

Market Review
U.S. stocks posted solid returns in the first half of the year, while performance from international equities was mixed. While the U.S. continued to produce generally positive macroeconomic data, heightened concern over slowing growth in the U.S. and economic weakness globally, as well as the impact of lower oil prices, fueled market volatility and kept the Fed from raising interest rates. At the end of the second quarter, voters in the United Kingdom endorsed their country’s withdrawal from the European Union and equity markets sold off sharply. The combined effects of sell-offs in the Euro, British Pound, and equity markets quickly turned gains into losses for international stocks.  While U.S. equity markets were also adversely affected by the BREXIT vote outcome, the losses were muted relative to those in European markets with the Russell 1000 Index up 3.7% for the six-month period. Value stocks in the U.S. outperformed growth stocks by a wide margin of almost 500 basis points, as Energy stocks rebounded. Given the outlook of lower interest rates for longer, and negative interest rates in Japan and Europe, Utilities and Telecommunication sectors were also top performers as investors searched for yield.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Portfolio typically invests primarily in large-cap U.S. stocks whose market capitalization falls within the range of the Russell 1000 Index. In conjunction with Calvert’s financial analysis, Calvert’s comprehensive responsible investment principles guide our investment research processes and decision-making to inform our view of risk and opportunity factors.
Our U.S. stock selection model seeks to identify high quality companies trading at attractive valuations. While the core of our model embeds a value and quality bias, it also focuses on companies operating efficiently and demonstrating strong capital stewardship.
 
We review companies from a fundamental perspective to validate the stock selection model’s output, understand business drivers, determine whether ESG performance offers a competitive advantage, and avoid value traps.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Core Portfolio returned 2.97%, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 3.74%.
The Portfolio’s overweight in financial services and stock selection within financial services each contributed negatively to performance. The positioning was based on the expectation that U.S. interest rates would rise in 2016 when in fact, they fell. This fall in interest rates hurt banks, which benefit from interest rate spreads, such as Wells Fargo.
Stock selection within Health Care added to performance in the period. Medical device maker St. Jude’s rose sharply, after it agreed to be purchased at a large premium.
Stock picks within the Industrial sector also contributed positively. Shares of engine manufacturer Cummins rebounded after a difficult 2015, as investors perceived better business conditions than feared. Freight giant UPS rose, after it executed strongly during the peak holiday season, following struggles in 2013 and 2014.
Stock selection within Information Technology also detracted from performance. Apple’s stock fell, as it posted negative sales growth in the March quarter. Consumers perceived the latest iPhone that was introduced Sept. 2015 as not much of an upgrade over the previous model.

Positioning and Market Outlook
We continue to believe the U.S. economy can accelerate in the second half of the year. With consumer spending starting to pick-up we may finally be seeing some of the savings from lower gas prices translating into higher levels of spending. Prior to “Brexit,” it even seemed that the market was coming around to the notion that the economy would be strong enough to support a second rate hike sooner rather than later. At the start of June, Fed Funds futures contracts implied a greater than 50% probability of a rate hike in July. On June 24th, the day after the U.K. referendum, the implied probability of a July rate hike had dropped to zero. Despite our generally positive outlook for the U.S. economy, as we’ve mentioned before, markets remain more vulnerable to negative shocks given the backdrop of stubbornly sluggish global growth and with equity valuations above long-term averages in many parts of the world.
Expectations of further monetary easing and fiscal stimulus across the globe allowed equity markets to quickly recover from their sell-off post-Brexit. In the U.S. this means rate hikes are off the table for now. However, it’s unlikely that Brexit will have much of an impact on the U.S. economy, at least in the near-term, and if the consumer-led recovery continues to accelerate, the U.S. economy should be resilient to any medium to longer-term impacts from Brexit as well.
In the meantime, the U.K.’s decision to withdraw from the European Union has raised more questions than it has answered, so we continue to expect higher levels of volatility in equity markets to continue, especially compared to the historically low levels of volatility experienced during the last few years. Actions by central banks should help dampen some of the volatility as the U.K. exit will likely take years to work out fully and the costs and benefits will not be known for some time to come.
We are also seeing some benefit from China’s stimulus policies. While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, near-term stabilization of the Chinese economy coinciding with a pick-up in U.S. growth should
help support the rest of the global economy. Of course a worst case Brexit scenario that pushes Europe back into recession could have more serious effects on the global economy and impact the U.S., but at this point we are putting a lower probability on that outcome. For now we remain cautiously optimistic on U.S. equities, and believe our focus on stock selection should make our strategies well-positioned for the second half of the year.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.74%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Core Portfolio (formerly 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Common and preferred stocks, 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.
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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

 
14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP CORE PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

** For further breakdown of equity securities by industry, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
There were no transfers between levels during the period.
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.

Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market started the year by falling more than 10% over a six-week period. Concerns over China’s economic growth rate and plunging crude oil prices were two big catalysts for the market’s decline. While generally a positive for consumers, the fall in crude oil prices was interpreted by the market as an ominous sign for global economic growth. However, as crude oil prices found a bottom near $26 per barrel, the equity market also bottomed and began a sharp rally that erased early losses. The period culminated with drama in Great Britain as a referendum on Britain’s future in the European Union was held. The vote
to leave the European Union sent stocks plummeting more than 5% over the next two days, before a stunning rebound to end June.
Investment Strategy and Technique
As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks as closely as possible to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P 500 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio returned 3.69% compared with 3.84% 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. Eight of ten economic sectors were positive with Telecommunication Services, Utilities, and Energy leading the way. Information Technology and Financials were the lone negative sectors during the period.
Positioning and Market Outlook
As we look to the second half of 2016, the outlook for equities is again mixed. After an incredibly weak employment report for the month of May and the uncertainty created over the British referendum, the Federal Reserve has been all but sidelined for any more interest rate increases this year. The financial markets believe the chance of another interest rate increase in 2016 is less than 10%.

In our opinion, continued low interest rates should be a positive for equity markets, but risks to the bull market case do exist in the form of a still weak global economy and the market’s continued inability to break out past highs reached 13 months ago.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.48%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. 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 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.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25




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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, 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 period.
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 period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At June 30, 2016, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

* Averages are based on activity levels during the period ended June 30, 2016.
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.
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

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

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 period ended June 30, 2016.

John Streur
President and Chief Executive Officer,
Calvert Investments, Inc.
nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market started the year by falling more than 10% over a six-week period. Concerns over China’s economic growth rate and plunging crude oil prices were two big catalysts for the market’s decline. While generally a positive for consumers, the fall in crude oil prices was interpreted by the market as an ominous sign for global economic growth. However, as crude oil prices found a bottom near $26 per barrel, the equity market also bottomed and began a sharp rally that erased early losses. The period culminated with drama in Great Britain as a referendum on Britain’s future in the European Union was held. The vote
to leave the European Union sent stocks plummeting more than 5% over the next two days, before a stunning rebound to end June.
Investment Strategy and Technique
As an index fund, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (Class I) returned 7.74% compared with 7.93% for the 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. The S&P MidCap 400 Index outperformed the broad equity market as all ten economic sectors were positive. The Financials sector was particularly strong relative to the Financials sector within large cap stocks.
Positioning and Outlook
As we look to the second half of 2016, the outlook for equities is again mixed. After an incredibly weak employment report for the month of May and the uncertainty created over the British referendum, the Federal Reserve has been all but sidelined for any more interest rate increases this year. The financial markets believe the chance of another interest rate increase in 2016 is less than 10%.

In our opinion, continued low interest rates should be a positive for equity markets, but risks to the bull market case do exist in the form of a still weak global economy and the market’s continued inability to break out past highs reached 13 months ago.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.56%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 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 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. 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.
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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23




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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

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 period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

* Averages are based on activity levels during the period ended June 30, 2016.
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. 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 0.30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses for the period from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.66% for Class F and 0.41% for Class I. Prior to May 1, 2016, the contractual expense caps were 0.81% for Class F and 0.57% for Class I. 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. For the period from January 1, 2016 through April 30, 2016, the Advisor voluntarily waived the portion of expenses over 0.66% for Class F and 0.41% for Class I. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor voluntarily waived $100,172.

For the period January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.10%. CIAS and the Portfolio entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for both classes of the Portfolio commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for both classes of the Portfolio (the difference between the previous 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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CIS received a fee of $8,699 for the period ended June 30, 2016. 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 D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

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 period ended June 30, 2016.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

President and Chief Executive Officer,

nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

Market Review
The broad domestic equity market started the year by falling more than 10% over a six-week period. Concerns over China’s economic growth rate and plunging crude oil prices were two big catalysts for the market’s decline. While generally a positive for consumers, the fall in crude oil prices was interpreted by the market as an ominous sign for global economic growth. However, as crude oil prices found a bottom near $26 per barrel, the equity market also bottomed and began a sharp rally that erased early losses. The period culminated with drama in Great Britain as a referendum on Britain’s future in the European Union was held. The vote
to leave the European Union sent stocks plummeting more than 5% over the next two days, before a stunning rebound to end June.
Investment Strategy and Technique
As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks as closely as possible to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the NASDAQ 100 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Calvert VP NASDAQ 100 Index Portfolio (I Shares) returned -3.48% compared with -3.17% for the NASDAQ 100 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 underperformed the broad equity market as its health care-related companies trailed the overall market’s health care sector by a wide margin. In addition, the index does not have energy exposure, which was a strong performer for the period.
Positioning and Market Outlook
As we look to the second half of 2016, the outlook for equities is again mixed. After an incredibly weak employment report for the month of May and the uncertainty created over the British referendum, the Federal Reserve has been all but sidelined for any more interest rate increases this year.

The financial markets believe the chance of another interest rate increase in 2016 is less than 10%. In our opinion, continued low interest rates should be a positive for equity markets, but risks to the bull market case do exist in the form of a still weak global economy and the market’s continued inability to break out past highs reached 13 months ago.

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.

Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio first offered Class F shares on October 30, 2015. Performance prior to that date reflects the performance of Class I shares. Actual Class F share performance would have been lower than Class I share performance because Class F has higher class-specific expenses than Class I.
* Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.
 
 
 
 
 
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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.64%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of 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. 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. 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.
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.

 
14 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the period.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio's uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and 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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15




a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange, and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At June 30, 2016, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

* Averages are based on activity levels during the period ended June 30, 2016.
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.
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 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.94% for Class F and 0.69% for Class I. 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, based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the period January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.10%. CIAS and the Portfolio entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for both classes of the Portfolio commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for both classes of the Portfolio (the difference between the previous 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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
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 $3,370 for the period ended June 30, 2016. 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 period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $7,231,743 and $1,966,222, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality,

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 17




U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION

Kevin Keene
Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The broad domestic equity market started the year by falling more than 10% over a six-week period. Concerns over China’s economic growth rate and plunging crude oil prices were two big catalysts for the market’s decline. While generally a positive for consumers, the fall in crude oil prices was interpreted by the market as an ominous sign for global economic growth. However, as crude oil prices found a bottom near $26 per barrel, the equity market also bottomed and began a sharp rally that erased early losses. The period culminated with drama in Great Britain as a referendum on Britain’s future in the European Union was held. The vote
to leave the European Union sent stocks plummeting more than 5% over the next two days, before a stunning rebound to end June.
Investment Strategy and Technique
As an index fund, the Portfolio seeks as closely as possible to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. In pursuit of this objective, the Portfolio employs a passive management approach 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the
Calvert VP Russell 2000 Index Portfolio (I Shares) returned 2.08% compared with 2.22% 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 the Index’s
Energy and Health Care Sectors significantly underperformed compared to those sectors within the large cap and mid
cap universes.
Positioning and Market Outlook
As we look to the second half of 2016, the outlook for equities is again mixed. After an incredibly weak employment report for the month of May and the uncertainty created over the British referendum, the Federal Reserve has been all but sidelined for any more interest rate increases this year.

The financial markets believe the chance of another interest rate increase in 2016 is less than 10%. In our opinion, continued low interest rates should be a positive for equity markets, but risks to the bull market case do exist in the form of a still weak global economy and the market’s continued inability to break out past highs reached 13 months ago.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Class I shares is 0.81%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. 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.
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

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



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.
Warrants are valued at their official closing price as reported by an independent pricing source on the exchange on which they are traded and categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

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, futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations and 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 period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
At June 30, 2016, the Portfolio had the following derivatives, categorized by risk exposure:

* Averages are based on activity levels during the period ended June 30, 2016.
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.

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



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 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses for the period from May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.78% for Class F and 0.53% for Class I. Prior to May 1, 2016, the contractual expense caps were 0.95% for Class F and 0.74% for Class I. 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. For the period from January 1, 2016 through April 30, 2016, the Advisor voluntarily waived the portion of expenses over 0.78% for Class F and 0.53% for Class I. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor voluntarily waived $117,494.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the period January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.10%. CIAS and the Portfolio entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for both classes of the Portfolio commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for both classes of the Portfolio (the difference between the previous 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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
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 $4,911 for the period ended June 30, 2016. 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 period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $15,000,207 and $14,988,421, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

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 period ended June 30, 2016.

President and Chief Executive Officer,

nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
tmiller.jpg
Theodore D. Miller
Vice President, World Asset Management, Inc.
Market Review
International equities had weak performance in the first half of 2016 as the low interest-rate environment signaled deflationary economic conditions overseas and declining corporate profits worldwide. Worsening geopolitical conditions from the refugee crisis out of Syria into Europe, UK’s realized goal of leaving the European Union and military posturing from China and North Korea have coupled with a weak corporate profit environment to contribute to this weakness. Despite the worries, a concerted international central bank strategy of providing help to the international fixed income markets through asset purchases have kept market concerns from going into a meltdown.
Investment Strategy and Technique
Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to match as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Free Index (“MSCI Index”). As an index fund, the Portfolio 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, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Index, had negative absolute returns for the first half of 2016, 806 basis points less than the U.S. S&P 500 Index. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Portfolio (Class I shares) posted a return of -3.37% compared with -4.42% for the MSCI EAFE Index. There were 21 countries in the EAFE universe as of June 30th. Japan and the U.K. were the most heavily weighted, with weights of 23.3% and 19.6% respectively, accounting for 42.9% of the index. The strongest returns for the period came from New Zealand, Singapore and Norway. Spain, Israel and Ireland were the least performing countries in the MSCI EAFE universe. For the first half of 2016, the strongest sector returns were in the Energy sector, followed by Utilities and Telecommunication Services. The weakest sectors were Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We expect more volatility in 2016 in the financial markets emanating from both inconsistent international economic growth and a deflationary environment in the United States,

Europe and Asia. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s desire to raise rates appears to be on hold until renewed economic growth or renewed inflation starts to be well established again. 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.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Class I shares is 0.98%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. 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 may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account 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.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31




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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

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.
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 0.56%, of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 1.19% for Class F and 0.99% for Class I. 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, based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the period January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.10%. CIAS and the Portfolio entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for both classes of the Portfolio commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for both classes of the Portfolio (the difference between the previous 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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
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 $5,535 for the period ended June 30, 2016. 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.

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
tudella01.jpg
Tina J. Udell
Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The fixed income markets were subject to heightened volatility in the first half of 2016 due to a continuation of the 2015 decline in commodity prices followed by a subsequent rally in the latter half of Q1; the Fed shifting more dovish, taking the highly publicized rate increases in 2016 substantially off the table; and most recently the uncertainty created by the decision of the UK to exit the European Union (“Brexit”). Treasury yields fell across the board with the most profound impact on longer maturities creating a flatter yield curve. The significant decline in yields led to positive performance in the fixed income markets. The corporate sector enjoyed the strongest performance as the demand for yield globally sent spreads tighter by 10 basis points over the first six months. The securitized sector had the weakest performance within the Index due to its shorter duration.
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 almost 9,800 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 directly. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (Class I) performed in-line with the Index, returning 5.49% compared with
5.31% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The outperformance was largely due to a slight overweight in the longer part of the curve, which outperformed significantly as the yield curve flattened.
Positioning and Market Outlook
While we believe that the U.S. should continue to see growth in 2016, increased uncertainty regarding economic and

financial market outcomes globally may modestly reduce the pace.
In our opinion, household consumption will remain the driver of growth as low energy prices and wage gains are supportive of consumer spending. However, volatility will likely remain elevated as Europe works through the next steps of Brexit and the U.S. faces an upcoming election. Treasury yields are expected to remain “lower for longer”, and we believe that the Fed will remain in a holding pattern given the increased uncertainty globally, with the earliest chance of a rate increase slated for the end of the year or early 2017. On average, corporate spreads should tighten modestly as pressure due to declining corporate fundamentals will be offset by strong technicals in the market led by the search for yield across the globe.

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.

Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio first offered Class F shares on October 30, 2015. Performance prior to that date reflects the performance of Class I shares. Actual Class F share performance would have been different.
* Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.
 
 
 
 
 
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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.54%. 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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 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. 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, sovereign government bonds, municipal securities, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, 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.
For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19




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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the period.
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

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



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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.

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.
As of June 30, 2016, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the federal tax cost were as follows:

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc.
Market Review
The investment climate for commodities and commodity related companies turned positive in the first half of 2016 after a very weak 2015 experience, and comparably weak first 6 weeks of 2016. After the initial fall early this year the commodity sector posted a solid recovery over the course of the first six months. Over supply concerns in oil started to ease in late February as did the negative news on China’s economy and ultimate demand for commodities.
Crude oil prices, as measured by West Texas Intermediate crude, started the year near $37 per barrel, and fell sharply to $27 by mid-February, only to recover to $48 at quarter’s end. The recovery represented a 30% gain on the quarter for the commodity.
Other commodity returns were mixed, but experienced similar volatility, with many posting sharp moves both positive and negative. Grains were mixed, as corn was highly volatile but finished near flat on the quarter, on high supply concerns. At the same time, soybeans climbed over 34%, pushing cattle down 16%. In other commodities, sugar was up 32%, base-metals were more subdued with copper up just 3%, and gold finished up 25% on heightened broader market unease, and increased ETF demand.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Portfolio invests in 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 June 30, 2016, the Portfolio’s largest exposure was to energy at 65.8% of its invested assets, followed by grains at about 8.6%, and industrial metals at 6.0%. During the latter part of the second quarter, cash levels were raised to accommodate fund disbursements.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the first half of the year, Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio returned 17.31% compared to 3.84% 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 outperform the benchmark, since the S&P 500 Index has a more diversified allocation of holdings across sectors.
The return from the Natural Resources Composite Benchmark, a mix of market indices that more closely reflect the Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, returned 17.61% for the period.
There was a slight 30 basis point lag in performance attributed to the Portfolio’s fees, as well as the expenses imbedded in the Portfolio’s underlying investments. Strength was broad based across the Portfolio, with the weakest gainers positioned in oil and gas exploration and grains appreciating only 7.9% and 8.1%, respectively. The greatest strength was found in the metals companies and gold miners, which surged ahead 64% and 102%, respectively.
Positioning and Market Outlook
Entering 2016, our outlook for commodities and natural resources called for volatility but it did not foresee the elevated volatility experienced in early 2016. The past few months have produced some stabilization which could take some time to relieve the unease in the commodity markets caused by the earlier turbulence. At current levels, our view is commodity and natural resource price increases are only

partially reflected in the related stock prices, and we see an environment where continued price stabilization could yield above-average stock price recoveries within the commodity related sectors. As such, we hold a modest overweight exposure to ETFs and ETNs 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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.29% (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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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 Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Exchange-traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 11




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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the period.
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.
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 0.55%, of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

 
12 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2017. 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, based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the period January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.10%. CIAS and the Portfolio entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for the Portfolio commencing on May 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for the Portfolio (the difference between the previous 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 $1,706 for the period ended June 30, 2016. Boston Data Financial 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 period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $4,390,056 and $35,458,630, 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 will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 13




well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of June 30, 2016.

NOTE E — 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 period ended June 30, 2016.
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Board of Directors has approved the reorganization of the Portfolio into Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio and has recommended approval of the reorganization by shareholders of the Portfolio. A Proxy Statement was mailed to shareholders in July 2016 which contained additional information about the reorganization, as well as voting instructions. If shareholders approve the reorganization, the Portfolio will be merged into Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio on or about September 23, 2016.
In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2016, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Calvert Investments, Inc.
nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

DISCUSSION

John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
The equity market volatility that characterized the end of 2015 carried over into the first weeks of the new year. In mid-February, oil prices began to recover and concerns about global economic woes eased, leading to an extended period of solid equity market performance and low volatility. That all changed with the surprising outcome of the UK’s referendum (Brexit) on continued membership in the European Union. The surprising outcome unleashed a new wave of uncertainty and markets don’t like uncertainty. In the two days following the vote, developed markets saw losses on the order of 5% to 7% in the U.S. while the MSCI EAFE Index (“EAFE”) was down almost 10%. For U.S. investors, the greater sting from UK holdings came from the sharp decline in the value of the Pound while share price declines drove the losses in equities on the continent. Over the closing three days of the second quarter, equity markets rallied to largely erase the post-election losses in the U.S. and halve the losses suffered
in EAFE.
Investment Strategy and Technique
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 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. The Portfolio’s realized volatility for the period was in line with its 8% target.

Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio returned 3.94%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control Total Return Index, which returned 0.50%.
The Portfolio’s advantage was realized in the low volatility rally from mid-February through late June and during the volatile period following the Brexit vote. The Portfolio had greater equity exposure than the benchmark during the period of strongest returns in the market’s run-up and was better positioned to respond to the sudden surge in volatility following the Brexit vote.
Investing in bonds rather than cash and cash equivalents gave the Portfolio a distinct advantage over the Index as bonds outperformed cash instruments by more than 5%.
Equity exposures to REITs, value and mid cap stocks helped relative performance while our developed markets international equity holdings and growth exposures hurt.
The Portfolio performed in line with its custom blended secondary benchmark, outperforming during the first weeks of the period then surrendering that advantage in the market’s lower volatility and post-Brexit periods.
Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices that more closely reflects the Portfolio’s long-term 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.

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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 3




The Portfolio performed in line with the blended composite benchmark which returned 3.91% for the period.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We anticipate increased market volatility as markets come to grip with the implications of political and economic events in UK, Europe, and the U.S. Our investment process evaluates and responds to realized changes in market volatility using futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile as our volatility management and capital protection strategy determine the appropriate level of equity market risk for the Portfolio. At period end, markets appeared to be recovering from the post-Brexit shock and our equity exposure was roughly in line with our long-term allocation to stocks.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.98% (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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Exchange-traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the period.
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 period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, including 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.
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

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Calvert Investments, Inc.
nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

DISCUSSION

John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
The equity market volatility that characterized the end of 2015 carried over into the first weeks of the new year. In mid-February, oil prices began to recover and concerns about global economic woes eased, leading to an extended period of solid equity market performance and low volatility. That all changed with the surprising outcome of the UK’s referendum (Brexit) on continued membership in the European Union. The surprising outcome unleashed a new wave of uncertainty and markets don’t like uncertainty. In the two days following the vote, developed markets saw losses on the order of 5% to 7% in the U.S. while the MSCI EAFE Index (“EAFE”) was down almost 10%. For U.S. investors, the greater sting from UK holdings came from the sharp decline in the value of the Pound while share price declines drove the losses in equities on the continent. Over the closing three days of the second quarter, equity markets rallied to largely erase the post-election losses in the U.S. and halve the losses suffered
in EAFE.
Investment Strategy and Technique
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. The Portfolio’s realized volatility for the period was slightly lower than its 10% target.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio returned 2.88%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% Total Return Index, which returned 0.87%.
The Portfolio outperformed the Index in each of the three distinct market phases of the period. Our volatility management and risk control processes protected value early in the period, but limited the Portfolio’s ability to take advantage of the market’s subsequent run-up. The Portfolio was better positioned to deal with the post-Brexit sell-off, but gave back half of that advantage in the subsequent run-up in share prices that marked the close to the period.
Investing in bonds rather than cash and cash equivalents gave the Portfolio a distinct advantage over the Index as bonds outperformed cash instruments by more than 5%.
Equity exposures to REITs, value and mid cap stocks helped relative performance while our developed markets international equity holdings and growth exposures hurt.
The Portfolio underperformed its secondary composite benchmark by 0.63% as the Portfolio’s volatility management strategy had a net negative impact on relative performance.
Calvert has developed a secondary composite benchmark based on a mix of market indices that more closely reflects 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.

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

The Portfolio underperformed the blended composite benchmark which returned 3.51% for the period.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We anticipate increased market volatility as markets come to grip with the implications of political and economic events in UK, Europe, and the U.S. Our investment process evaluates and responds to realized changes in market volatility using futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile as our volatility management and capital protection strategy determine the appropriate level of equity market risk for the Portfolio. At period end, markets appeared to be recovering from the post-Brexit shock and our equity exposure was about 9% less than our long-term allocation to stocks.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.00% (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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of 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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Exchange-traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

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



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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, 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 period.
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 period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, including 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.
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 D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Portfolio in the case of default of any securities borrower.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Calvert Investments, Inc.
nucalvertlogoa41.jpg
Dear Shareholders,
In July, facilitated by the ultra-low interest rate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, stock and bond prices in the U.S. reached historic highs. While these high prices imply good news for investors, there are disconcerting outcomes to this circumstance that you, as socially responsible investors, can help influence.
The current policies of the Federal Reserve—and those of other Central Banks—were initiated in an effort to stabilize the global financial system after the housing and credit crisis of 2008. While these financial policies increased market liquidity—thus allowing many banks, insurance companies and innumerable participants in the finance industry to survive and return to profitability—they were inadequate in rebuilding the incomes and net worth of most people. For many decades, there has been a widely held belief that economic growth is the most effective way to improve the lives of all members of society, including those at the very bottom. Concerned both by low GDP growth and wage increases and by little to no inflation, the banking system has continued to support these policies, in hopes of stimulating capital investment by corporations and individuals. However, investors are now allocating funds to the capital markets and not in human or technological infrastructure; and institutions, in turn, are utilizing the inexpensive credit environment to lever their balance sheets, often participating in stock buy-back programs; all in turn boosting market returns. However, there is little investment in the societal infrastructure that would induce inclusive growth to rebuild the incomes and opportunities of the populace, exclusive of the financial elite. As indicated in the chart below, income inequality is on the rise, poverty remains high, and GDP growth is anemic and predicted to remain so in the short term despite historic and continuous monetary easing, all contrary to the growth in the DJIA.

The rising inequality between the majority of the population and those who participate heavily in the financial markets does not make for a stable society, nor for sustainable business conditions. Our society and its economy depend upon trust in institutions, and we can see a growing divergence in this trust between the majority of people and elite members of society. Interestingly, two regions that demonstrate the greatest divergence in this form of trust are the United Kingdom and the United Statesvii. The UK just shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union, and the U.S. is involved in a presidential election cycle dominated by extremely polarized candidates. These candidates are representative of a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the populace-that they do not believe the current system is working for the benefit of them.
As investors, we realize there may be a short term tradeoff between higher wage growth for workers and profits for investors. All of us need the system to work for the great majority of people—facilitating widespread growth may require a shift from returns to the holders of financial assets to some greater return for the labor, especially those whose wages have been stagnant. Fiscal, monetary, and developmental policies need to be implemented by corporations, public and private organizations in order to promote societal stability and economic growth. Arguably, corporations are best suited to pursue such goals. The financial, technological, and human capabilities of corporations uniquely position them to respond to environment and social challenges more efficiently than government institutions, which face indebtedness, an inability to attract human capital, and a lack of jurisdiction in a global marketplace.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
johnn.jpg
John P. Nichols, CFA
Vice President - Equities
Market Review
The equity market volatility that characterized the end of 2015 carried over into the first weeks of the new year. In mid-February, oil prices began to recover and concerns about global economic woes eased, leading to an extended period of solid equity market performance and low volatility. That all changed with the surprising outcome of the UK’s referendum (Brexit) on continued membership in the European Union. The surprising outcome unleashed a new wave of uncertainty and markets don’t like uncertainty. In the two days following the vote, developed markets saw losses on the order of 5% to 7% in the U.S. while the MSCI EAFE Index (“EAFE”) was down almost 10%. For U.S. investors, the greater sting from UK holdings came from the sharp decline in the value of the Pound while share price declines drove the losses in equities on the continent. Over the closing three days of the second quarter, equity markets rallied to largely erase the post-election losses in the U.S. and halve the losses suffered in EAFE.
Investment Strategy and Technique
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 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. The Portfolio’s realized volatility for the period was 10.40%, lower than its 12% target.

Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio returned 1.14%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 12% Total Return Index, which returned 0.94%.
Relative to the Index, the Portfolio better protected capital in the market’s sell-off early in the period, but our risk control process drove the Portfolio to underperform by a similar margin in the subsequent rally. The Portfolio’s lower equity exposure helped during the post-Brexit sell-off, but more than erased that benefit in the subsequent market recovery.
Investing in bonds rather than cash and cash equivalents gave the Portfolio a distinct advantage over the Index as bonds outperformed cash instruments by more than 5%.
Equity exposures to REITs, value and mid cap stocks helped relative performance while the Portfolio’s developed markets international equity holdings and growth exposures hurt.
The Portfolio underperformed its secondary composite benchmark by 1.94% as the Portfolio’s volatility management strategy had a net negative impact on relative performance.
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.


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

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 3




The Portfolio underperformed the blended composite benchmark which returned 3.08% for the period.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We anticipate increased market volatility as markets come to grip with the implications of political and economic events in UK, Europe, and the U.S. Our investment process evaluates and responds to realized changes in market volatility using futures to adjust the Portfolio’s risk profile as our volatility management and capital protection strategy determine the appropriate level of equity market risk for the Portfolio. At period end, markets appeared to be recovering from the post-Brexit shock but the Portfolio’s equity market exposure, in response to the spate of renewed market volatility, was 25% below our long-term allocation to stocks.

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/variable for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.98% (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 contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

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 (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016).
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.

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 period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:
Exchange-traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 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. Securities which were fair valued at June 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.

 
12 www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)



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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2016, 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 period.
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 period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

* Averages are based on activity levels during the period ended June 30, 2016.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, including 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.
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

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Portfolio may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Portfolio requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Portfolio. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Portfolio and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.

 
www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15
