Semiannual Report
March 31, 2022
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current
summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and
prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and
are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.
For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Russell Midcap® Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. mid-cap stocks. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses,
taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

Total
Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not
reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual
total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.Calvert Research
and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser. |

Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/23. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance
reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for
the entire period (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Expenses
are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the
net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2021. |

Absent
a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Effective April 29, 2022, the maximum sales charge payable upon purchase of Class A shares was increased to 5.25%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% (1.00% effective
April 29, 2022) may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are
charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to
Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro
rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the
financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment
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 Fund 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.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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
Fund’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.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments
by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt
securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask
prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly,
debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not
readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. Calvert Cash
Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) is an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally
values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments
in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market
value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, 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 or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the
Calvert
Mid-Cap Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
security’s
“fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely
to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in
similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock
exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's
holdings as of March 31, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

The
level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in
the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are
recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent
a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received 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.
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions
attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
F Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within
the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
H
Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

I Federal Income
Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three
years from the date of filing.
J Interim
Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2022 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For
the six months ended March 31, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,048,194. CRM does not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses
to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation
expenses) exceed 1.18%, 1.93% and 0.93% for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2023. For the six months
ended March 31, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $50,452.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for
administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2022,
CRM was paid administrative fees of $193,513.
The Fund
has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal
underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its
average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries
and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees
paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $229,809 and $35,167 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $12,776 as its portion
of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The Fund was also informed that EVD received less than $100 and $212 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively,
for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an
affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to
$27,927 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its
affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000 ($154,000 prior to January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs
receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the
deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $129,880,892 and $119,650,019, respectively.

5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities
pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid
investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. 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 Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other
expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold
or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The Fund did not have any securities on loan at March 31,
2022.
6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed
by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other
short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2021, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to
the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of
credit at March 31, 2022. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
7 Affiliated Issuers and Funds
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the
Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of
the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer (and the only director/trustee on the Fund Board that is an “interested person” of the Fund) serves on the CIC Board. In
addition, another director/trustee on the Fund Board serves as a director emeritus on the CIC Board.

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines,
cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic
risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so
in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with
multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not
apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling
Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Semiannual Report
March 31, 2022
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current
summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and
prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and
are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.
For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

MSCI EAFE Small/Mid Cap
Index is an unmanaged index of small & mid-capitalization equities in the developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. MSCI indexes are net of foreign withholding taxes. Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other
purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or

Total
Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not
reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked
performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented
in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total
returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.Calvert Research and
Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser. |

Fund prospectus. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements,
performance would have been lower. |

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for
the entire period (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

International Opportunities Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert International Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a
diversified series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The
investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in common and preferred stocks of non-U.S. small-cap to mid-cap companies.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are
generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Effective April 29, 2022, the maximum sales charge payable upon purchase of Class A shares was increased to 5.25%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% (1.00% effective
April 29, 2022) may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are
charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to
Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents
a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the
financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment
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 Fund 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.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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
Fund’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.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments
by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of
exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the
valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Board has approved the use
of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.
Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt
securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask
prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly,
debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not
readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. Calvert Cash
Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) is an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally
values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Calvert
International Opportunities Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
Other
Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as
Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, 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 or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the
security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors,
which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public
trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate
stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and
sold.
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 following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's
holdings as of March 31, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in
the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are
recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent
a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received 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.
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6
shares.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions
attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
F Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within
the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
H
Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Federal Income
Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three
years from the date of filing.
J Interim
Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2022 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable
monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,871,789. CRM does not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
Calvert
International Opportunities Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has
delegated a portion of the investment management of the Fund to Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (EVAIL), an affiliate of CRM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. Effective October 1, 2021, EVAIL uses the portfolio
management, research and other resources of its affiliate, MSIM Fund Management (Ireland) Limited (MSIM FMIL), in rendering investment advisory services to the Fund. MSIM FMIL has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with EVAIL pursuant to
which MSIM FMIL is considered a participating affiliate of the sub-adviser as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowing U.S. registered investment advisers to use portfolio management or
research resources of unregistered advisory affiliates subject to the supervision of a U.S. registered adviser. CRM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
CRM and EVAIL have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s
operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes
or litigation expenses) exceed 1.34%, 2.09%, 1.09% and 1.05% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement may be changed or terminated after January 31,
2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, no expenses were waived or reimbursed by CRM and EVAIL.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for
administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March
31, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $299,486.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares
(Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per
annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a
distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for
providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its
average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2022
amounted to $113,491 and $29,653 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $9,649 as its portion
of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $764 and $251 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the
same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate
of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $10,658
and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its
affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000 ($154,000 prior to January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs
receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the
deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $117,001,695 and $104,453,710, respectively.

5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities
pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid
investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. 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 Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other
expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold
or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was
$6,032,457 and the total value of collateral received was $6,370,284, comprised of cash of $3,899,985 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $2,470,299.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending
transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2022.

The carrying amount of the liability
for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2022 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2022.
6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed
by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other
short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2021, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to
the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings pursuant to its line of credit
during the six months ended March 31, 2022.

7 Affiliated Companies and Funds
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the
Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of
the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer (and the only director/trustee on the Fund Board that is an “interested person” of the Fund) serves on the CIC Board. In
addition, another director/trustee on the Fund Board serves as a director emeritus on the CIC Board.
At March 31, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in
the Notes and affiliated funds was $6,217,071, which represents 1.4% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in the Notes and affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political,
economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to
reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets
typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may
be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines,
cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic
risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so
in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with
multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not
apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling
Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Semiannual Report
March 31, 2022
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current
summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and
prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and
are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.
For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Total
Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not
reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked
performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented
in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total
returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.Calvert Research and
Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser. |

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for
the entire period (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Expenses
are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the
net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2021. |

Absent
a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliates, expenses would be higher. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified
series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment
objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high total return consistent with reasonable risk by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of stocks. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of foreign companies.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are
generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Effective April 29, 2022, the maximum sales charge payable upon purchase of Class A shares was increased to 5.25%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% (1.00% effective
April 29, 2022) may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are
charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to
Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class
represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the
financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment
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 Fund 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.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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
Fund’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.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments
by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of
exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the
valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Board has approved the
use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued
securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt
securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask
prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly,
debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not
readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Venture Capital Securities.
Venture capital securities for which market quotations are not readily available are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Venture capital equity securities are generally valued using the most appropriate and applicable method to
measure fair value in light of each company’s situation. Methods may include market, income, options-pricing or cost approaches with discounts as appropriate based on assumptions of liquidation or exit risk. Examples of the market approach are
subsequent rounds of financing, comparable transactions, and revenue times an industry multiple. An example of the income approach is the discounted cash flow model. Examples of the cost approach are replacement cost, salvage value, or
Calvert
International Equity Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
net asset value. The
options-pricing method treats common stock and preferred stock as call options on the enterprise value with strike price based on the preferred stock liquidation preference. Venture capital limited partnership interests are valued at the fair value
reported by the general partner of the partnership, adjusted as necessary to reflect subsequent capital calls and distributions and any other available information. In some cases, adjustments may be made to account for daily pricing of material
public holdings within the partnership.
Affiliated Fund. Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) is an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it
conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2
in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments
in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market
value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, 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 or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”,
which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing
context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the
issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded
securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's
holdings as of March 31, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

Includes
foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period
in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six months ended March 31, 2022 is not presented.
B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in
the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are
recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions
rendered by European courts, the Fund has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these
countries. Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements for such outstanding
reclaims.
Distributions received that represent a return of
capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received 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.
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6
shares.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions
attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
F Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within
the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
H
Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Federal Income
Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code
and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Calvert
International Equity Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
In
addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes,
if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains
taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.
Management has analyzed the Fund'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 Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three
years from the date of filing.
J Interim
Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2022 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows and
is payable monthly:
| Average
Daily Net Assets |
Annual
Fee Rate |
| Up
to and including $250 million |
0.68%
|
| Over
$250 million up to and including $500 million |
0.665%
|
| Over
$500 million |
0.65%
|
For the six months ended March 31,
2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $2,983,907 or 0.66% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. CRM does not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has
delegated the investment management of the Fund to Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (EVAIL), an affiliate of CRM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. CRM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment advisory fee for
sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
CRM and EVAIL
have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of
unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.89%, 0.89% and 0.85% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement may
be changed or terminated after January 31, 2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, CRM and EVAIL waived or reimbursed expenses in total of $228,519.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for
administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March
31, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $540,519.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares
(Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per
annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a
distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for
providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its
average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2022
amounted to $235,367 and $35,752 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $14,910 as its portion
of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $859 and $1,056 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the
same period.

Eaton
Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses
incurred to EVM amounted to $30,910 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its
affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000 ($154,000 prior to January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs
receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the
deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $262,928,304 and $217,873,590, respectively.

5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities
pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid
investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. 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 Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other
expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold
or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was
$2,067,640 and the total value of collateral received was $2,415,298, comprised of U.S. government and/or agencies securities.

6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed
by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other
short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2021, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to
the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of
credit at March 31, 2022. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
7 Affiliated Companies and Funds
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the
Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of
the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer (and the only director/trustee on the Fund Board that is an “interested person” of the Fund) serves on the CIC Board. In
addition, another director/trustee on the Fund Board serves as a director emeritus on the CIC Board.
In addition to the Notes, the Fund may also invest in companies
that are considered affiliated companies because the Fund has a direct or indirect ownership of, control of, or voting power of 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares of the company, or the company is under common ownership or control
with the Fund. At March 31, 2022, the value of the Fund's investment in the Notes and affiliated companies and funds was $1,613,726, which represents 0.2% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in the Notes and affiliated companies and funds by the
Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political,
economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to
reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets
typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may
be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines,
cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic
risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so
in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with
multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not
apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling
Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current
summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and
prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and
are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.
For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not
reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked
performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance since
inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not
linked.Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after
eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31,

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for
the entire period (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Expenses
are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the
net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2021. |

Absent
a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

diversified series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The
investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are
generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Effective April 29, 2022, the maximum sales charge payable upon purchase of Class A shares was increased to 5.25%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% (1.00% effective
April 29, 2022) may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are
charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to
Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents
a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the
financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment
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 Fund 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.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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
Fund’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.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments
by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of
exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the
valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Board has approved the use
of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.
Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt
securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask
prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly,
debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not
readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. Calvert Cash
Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) is an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally
values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
Other
Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as
Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, 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 or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the
security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors,
which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public
trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate
stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and
sold.
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 following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's
holdings as of March 31, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

Includes
foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in
the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are
recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest, if any, have been provided
for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that
represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received 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.

March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial
intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions
attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
F Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within
the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
H
Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Federal Income
Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code
and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code,
the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain
portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized
gain (loss) on investments.
Management has analyzed the
Fund'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 Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue
Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
J Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2022 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the
opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $14,436,315. CRM does not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has
delegated the investment management of the Fund to Hermes Investment Management Limited (Hermes). CRM pays Hermes a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses
to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation
expenses) exceed 1.24%, 1.99%, 0.99% and 0.92% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31,
2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $636,946.

The
administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6
and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $2,309,810.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares
(Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per
annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a
distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for
providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its
average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2022
amounted to $282,937 and $155,525 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $13,502 as its portion
of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $100 and $5,000 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the
same period. The Fund was informed that Morgan Stanley affiliated broker-dealers, which may be deemed to be affiliates of CRM and EVD, also received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares from for the six months ended March 31,
2022 in the amount of $226.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM),
an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted
to $103,656 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its
affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000 ($154,000 prior to January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs
receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the
deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $1,350,509,216 and $1,659,856,394, respectively.
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax
Information
At September 30, 2021, the Fund, for federal
income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $2,054,758 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and
thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the
Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2021, $2,054,758 are short-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments of the Fund at March 31, 2022, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| Aggregate
cost |
$3,324,089,368

5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities
pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid
investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. 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 Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other
expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold
or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The Fund did not have any securities on loan at March 31,
2022.
6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed
by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other
short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2021, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to
the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of
credit at March 31, 2022. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
7 Affiliated Companies and Funds
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets in notes (the
Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of
the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer (and the only director/trustee on the Fund Board that is an “interested person” of the Fund) serves on the CIC Board. In
addition, another director/trustee on the Fund Board serves as a director emeritus on the CIC Board.
At March 31, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in
the Notes and affiliated funds was $84,875,337, which represents 2.4% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in the Notes and affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political,
economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to
reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets
typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may
be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Emerging market securities often involve greater risks than
developed market securities. Investment markets within emerging market countries are typically smaller, less liquid, less developed and more volatile than those in more developed markets like the United States, and may be focused in certain economic
sectors. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. Governmental actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in emerging market
countries. It may be more difficult to make a claim or obtain a judgment in the courts of these countries than it is in the United States. The possibility of fraud, negligence, undue influence being exerted by an issuer or refusal to recognize
ownership exists in some emerging markets. Disruptions due to work stoppages and trading improprieties in foreign securities markets have caused such markets to close. Emerging market securities are also subject to speculative trading, which
contributes to their volatility.

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
Pandemic
Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines,
cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic
risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so
in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with
multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not
apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling
Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Semiannual Report
March 31, 2022
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund and the other funds it manages. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current
summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and
prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-368-2745.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and
are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.
For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index
is an unmanaged index of emerging markets common stocks. MSCI indexes are net of foreign withholding taxes. Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this
report, and has no liability hereunder. The Calvert Emerging Markets Index (the Index) is composed of equity securities of companies that are located in or tied economically to countries that Calvert Research and Management has classified as
emerging market countries and that meet certain environmental, social and governance criteria. The Index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced quarterly. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales
charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

Total
Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not
reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund's or oldest share class' inception, as applicable. |

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for
the entire period (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 this 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, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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 be higher.

Expenses
are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the
net asset value per share determined at the close of business on September 30, 2021. |

Absent
a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Emerging Markets Advancement Fund (the Fund) is a
diversified series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The
investment objective of the Fund is total return.
The
Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Effective April 29, 2022, the maximum sales charge payable upon purchase of Class A shares was increased to 5.25%. A
contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% (1.00% effective April 29, 2022) may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net
asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the
financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment
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 Fund 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.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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
Fund’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.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments
by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or 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. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of
exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the
valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Board has approved the use
of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.
Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Affiliated Fund. Calvert Cash
Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) is an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally
values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Other Securities. Investments
in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. 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 or Level 2 in the hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are
reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund's forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an
interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market
value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund's adviser, 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 or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the
Calvert
Emerging Markets Advancement Fund
March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
security’s
“fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely
to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in
similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock
exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's
holdings as of March 31, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

Includes
foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes 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 for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in
the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are
recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent
a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.

March 31, 2022
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’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. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions
attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Futures
Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts 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 Fund. 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 Fund’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 Fund.
F Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts— The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign
currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from
the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
G Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within
the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
I
Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J Federal Income
Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three
years from the date of filing.
K Interim
Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2022 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.63% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable
monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $202,920. CRM does not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

CRM
has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of
unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.20% and 0.95% for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or
terminated after January 31, 2022. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $34,293.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for
administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, CRM was
paid administrative fees of $38,651.
The Fund has in
effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter,
a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $778 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $365 as its portion of
the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides
sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $304 and are included in
transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its
affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000 ($154,000 prior to January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs
receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the
deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
During the six
months ended March 31, 2022, CRM agreed to reimburse the Fund $58,702 for a loss from an investment which did not meet the Fund's investment guidelines. The reimbursement is included in Receivable from affiliate on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The impact of the reimbursement was less than $0.01 per share for each class and had no significant impact on total return.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $37,503,831 and $13,016,040, respectively.

5 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts
recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially
subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at March 31, 2022 is included
in the Schedule of Investments. At March 31, 2022, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the
Fund is subject to the following risks:
Equity Price
Risk: During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into equity futures contracts to enhance total return, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase of securities.
Foreign Exchange Risk: During the six months ended March 31,
2022, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which
would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $22,810. At March 31, 2022, there were no
assets pledged by the Fund for such liability.
The
over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps
and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs
certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under
certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement
typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the
right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the
Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement(s), which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under an
ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an
ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty.
Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing
cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as
collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. The carrying amount of the liability for cash collateral due to broker at March 31, 2022 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have
been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2022.

6 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and
Trust Company (SSBT) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Fund to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Fund is obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured
loans (currently, the Federal Funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on the Fund's assets to the extent of any overdraft. The Fund had no payment due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement at March
31, 2022. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Fund incurred interest expense on overdraft advances of $13,057, which is included in custodian fees on the Statement of Operations.
7 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities
pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with SSBT, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be
continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the
Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. 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 Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split
between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is
not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was
$840,357 and the total value of collateral received was $937,910, comprised of cash of $329,614 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $608,296.

The carrying amount of the liability
for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2022 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2022.
8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed
by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other
short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2021, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to
the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of
credit at March 31, 2022. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
9 Affiliated Funds
At March 31, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in

11 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political,
economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to
reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets
typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may
be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Emerging market securities often involve greater risks than
developed market securities. Investment markets within emerging market countries are typically smaller, less liquid, less developed and more volatile than those in more developed markets like the United States, and may be focused in certain economic
sectors. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. Governmental actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in emerging market
countries. It may be more difficult to make a claim or obtain a judgment in the courts of these countries than it is in the United States. The possibility of fraud, negligence, undue influence being exerted by an issuer or refusal to recognize
ownership exists in some emerging markets. Disruptions due to work stoppages and trading improprieties in foreign securities markets have caused such markets to close. Emerging market securities are also subject to speculative trading, which
contributes to their volatility.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines,
cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic
risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so
in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with
multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not
apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling
Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
