Semiannual Report
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 S&P MidCap 400® Index is an unmanaged index of 400 U.S. midcap stocks. S&P Dow Jones Indices are a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI”) and have been licensed for use. S&P® and S&P 500®are registered trademarks of S&P DJI; Dow Jones® is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC (“Dow Jones”); S&P DJI, Dow Jones and their respective affiliates do not sponsor, endorse, sell or promote the Fund, will not have any liability with respect thereto and do not have any liability for any errors, omissions, or interruptions of the S&P Dow Jones Indices. 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.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23. 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 Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,022.17 $2.66 ** 0.53%
    
* 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 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the total return performance of U.S. common stocks, as represented by the S& P MidCap 400® Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
Short-Term Debt Securities. 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.
Other Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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 June 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $ 515,900,917(1) $  — $  — $ 515,900,917

(1) 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. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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  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.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
F  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.
G  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.

H  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.
I  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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 Calvert Research and Management (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 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $604,830.
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (AIP). CRM pays AIP a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $2,710 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.33% for Class I and 0.53% for Class F of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $350,090.
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 I and Class F and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $362,898.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 0.20% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $346,690 for Class F shares.
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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $222 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, 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.

7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $10,788,859 and the total value of collateral received was $11,124,281, comprised of cash of $5,723,889 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $5,400,392.
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 June 30, 2022.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $ 2,774,239 $  — $  — $  — $ 2,774,239
Exchange-Traded Funds 2,949,650  —  —  — 2,949,650
Total $5,723,889 $ — $ — $ — $5,723,889
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended December 31, 2021. The performance data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the respective median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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.

Semiannual Report
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index of 2,000 U.S. small-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.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23. 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 Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,021.87 $2.96 ** 0.59%
    
* 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 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP Russell 2000® Small Cap Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the investment performance of U.S. common stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
Short-Term Debt Securities. 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.
Other Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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 June 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3(1) Total
Common Stocks $ 172,864,554(2) $  — $ 0 $ 172,864,554

(1) None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund.
(2) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
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 June 30, 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. 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  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.
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. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.

7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $12,289,220 and the total value of collateral received was $12,844,880, comprised of cash of $8,592,955 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $4,251,925.
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 June 30, 2022.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions

Total $8,592,955 $ — $ — $ — $8,592,955
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Russell 2000® Small Cap Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, while it had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended December 31, 2021. The data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the respective median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

1 MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged index of 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 leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23. 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 Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,021.42 $3.41 ** 0.68%
    
* 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 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the total return performance of common stocks as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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.

(1) 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. 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.
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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

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  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
F  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.
G  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.
H  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.
I  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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.

The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (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 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $176,976.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $45 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.48% for Class I and 0.68% for Class F of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $129,384.
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 I and Class F and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $70,791.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 0.20% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $26,924 for Class F shares.

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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $252 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, 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.

The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $45,475 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
4  Investment Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $6,650,138 and $9,209,208, respectively.
5  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At December 31, 2021, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $3,744,359 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 December 31, 2021, $3,744,359 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2022, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $ 84,703,201
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 31,720,315
Gross unrealized depreciation (10,264,487)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 21,455,828
6  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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $1,945,744 and the total value of collateral received was $2,030,834, comprised of cash of $619,522 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $1,411,312.
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 June 30, 2022.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 2022.
7  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 June 30, 2022. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
8  Affiliated Issuers and Funds
The Fund invested in issuers that may be deemed to be affiliated with Morgan Stanley. At June 30, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated issuers and funds was $875,081, which represents 0.8% of the Fund’s net assets.

10  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. 
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”). 
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement. 
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the three-year period ended December 31, 2021 and it had performed at the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended December 31, 2021. The data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were below the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were at the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.

Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable. 
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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

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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of domestic investment-grade bonds, including corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities. 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.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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 F is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23. 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 Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,021.97 $2.86 ** 0.57%
    
* 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 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the total return performance of the bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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:
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.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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.

Total Investments $4,629,343 $124,784,053 $ — $129,413,396
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. 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  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
E  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.
F  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.
G  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.
H  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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 Calvert Research and Management (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 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $136,448.

Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (AIP). CRM pays AIP a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $352 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.32% for Class I and 0.57% for Class F of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $102,433.
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 I and Class F and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $81,869.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $6,139 for Class F shares.
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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $241 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, 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  Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $53,978, of which $41,620 were payable to an affiliate of AIP, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. Included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2022 are amounts payable to an affiliate of AIP under the Servicing Plan of $6,729.
4  Investment Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including maturities and paydowns, were $555,739 and $3,991,524, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns, were $3,351,949 and $7,230,355, respectively.

5  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At December 31, 2021, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $1,376,645 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 December 31, 2021, $725,474 are short-term and $651,171 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2022, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $139,342,172
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 379,518
Gross unrealized depreciation (10,308,294)
Net unrealized depreciation $ (9,928,776)
6  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $4,135,214 and the total value of collateral received was $4,210,022, comprised of cash of $3,262,038 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $947,984.
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 June 30, 2022.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions

Total $3,262,038 $ — $ — $ — $3,262,038
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 2022.

7  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 June 30, 2022.
8  Affiliated Issuers and Funds
At June 30, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated issuers and funds was $2,022,142, which represents 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated issuers and funds by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:

10  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were below the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or
23

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

reimbursements) were above the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

1 NASDAQ–100® Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international securities (by market cap), excluding financials, listed on Nasdaq. Source: Nasdaq, Inc. The information is provided by Nasdaq (with its affiliates, are referred to as the “Corporations”) and Nasdaq’s third party licensors on an “as is” basis and the Corporations make no guarantees and bear no liability of any kind with respect to the information or the Fund. 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.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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 F is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23. 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 Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,021.17 $3.66 ** 0.73%
    
* 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 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the investment performance of U.S. common stocks, as represented by the NASDAQ-100® Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
Short-Term Debt Securities. 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.
Other Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

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 June 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

(1) 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. 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  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.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
F  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.
G  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.
H  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.
I  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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.

7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $6,699,377 and the total value of collateral received was $6,913,672, comprised of cash.
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 June 30, 2022.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $6,913,672 $ — $ — $ — $6,913,672
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
9  Affiliated Funds
At June 30, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $4,213,220, which represents 1.7% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
•    A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
•    A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
•     A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
•    Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
•     For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
•    Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
•    Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
•     Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
•     Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
•    Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
•     Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
•    Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
•     A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;
Other Relevant Information
•     Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

•    The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the index the Fund is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were below the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or
22

 


Table of Contents
Calvert
VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio
June 30, 2022
Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

reimbursements) were at the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

1 S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index of large-cap stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. S&P Dow Jones Indices are a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI”) and have been licensed for use. S&P® and S&P 500® are registered trademarks of S&P DJI; Dow Jones® is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC (“Dow Jones”); S&P DJI, Dow Jones and their respective affiliates do not sponsor, endorse, sell or promote the Fund, will not have any liability with respect thereto and do not have any liability for any errors, omissions, or interruptions of the S&P Dow Jones Indices. 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.
2 There is no sales charge. Insurance-related charges are not included in the calculation of returns. If such charges were reflected, the returns would be lower. Please refer to the report for your insurance contract for performance data reflecting insurance-related charges.
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.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratio reflects a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/23.

Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

  $1,000.00 $1,023.41 $1.40 ** 0.28%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP S&P 500® Index Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 investment results that correspond to the total return performance of U.S. common stocks, as represented by the S&P 500® Index.
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors.
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.
Short-Term Debt Securities. 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.
Other Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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 June 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) 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  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.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
E  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.
F   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.
G  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.
H  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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

Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $373,682.

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  Shareholder Servicing Plan

The average notional cost of futures contracts (long) outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $10,029,000.
7  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. At June 30, 2022, the Fund had a payment due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement of $702,997. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at June 30, 2022. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at June 30, 2022. The Fund’s average overdraft advances during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were not significant.

8  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $3,722,713 and the total value of collateral received was $3,835,010, comprised of cash of $3,654,377 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $180,633.
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 June 30, 2022.

Total $3,654,377 $ — $ — $ — $3,654,377
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 2022.
9  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 June 30, 2022.

12  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;

A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;
Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index the Fund is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended
26

VP S&P 500® Index Portfolio
June 30, 2022
Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the index the Fund is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each above the respective median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

1 S&P Global LargeMidCap Managed Risk Index - Conservative is an unmanaged index designed to simulate a dynamic protective portfolio that allocates between the underlying equity index and cash, based on realized volatilities of the underlying equity and bond indices, while maintaining a fixed 50% allocation to the underlying bond index.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,020.78 $4.06 ** 0.81%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans. Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly from investment in exchange-traded funds (the Underlying Funds).
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 pursue current income and modest growth potential consistent with preservation of capital, while seeking to manage overall portfolio volatility. The Fund invests primarily in exchange-traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the Underlying Funds).
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class F shares.
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:
Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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.

Futures Contracts $ (137,524) $  — $  — $ (137,524)
Total $ (137,524) $ — $ — $ (137,524)
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. Distributions from the Underlying Funds and short-term investments are recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
C  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.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
E  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.
F   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.
G  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.

H  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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 Calvert Research and Management (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 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $195,201.
Pursuant to investment sub-advisory agreements, CRM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (AIP) and, effective January 1, 2022, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric). AIP is responsible for selecting the Exchange-Traded Funds in which the Fund invests and Parametric is responsible for executing the Fund’s volatility management strategy. CRM pays AIP and Parametric a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $930 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.81% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $52,355.
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 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $58,561.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $122,001 for Class F shares.
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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $44 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, 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  Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $35,528, all of which were payable to an affiliate of AIP, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. Included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2022 are amounts payable to an affiliate of AIP under the Servicing Plan of $5,663.

Net unrealized appreciation $ 9,748,642
6  Financial Instruments
A summary of futures contracts outstanding at June 30, 2022 is included in the Schedule of Investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge against changes in market volatility and declines in the value of the Fund’s investments and to adjust the Fund’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level.
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was as follows:
Derivative Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption Assets Liabilities
Futures contracts Distributable earnings   $128,104 (1) $(137,524) (1)
    
(1) Only the current day's variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Statement of Operations Caption   
Derivative Net realized gain (loss): Futures

Futures contracts $ 1,754,918 $ (102,237)
The average notional cost of futures contracts (long) and futures contracts (short) outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $1,351,000 and $10,057,000, respectively.
7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $9,217,276 and the total value of collateral received was $9,490,770, comprised of cash of $7,817,040 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $1,673,730.
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 June 30, 2022.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
9  Affiliated Funds
At June 30, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $3,694,071, which represents 4.2% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.

Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The data also indicated that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed its benchmark index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2021. The performance data also indicated that the Fund had outperformed its blended benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed its blended benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were above the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Approval of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that the entering into of an investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser must be approved by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors ( “Board”) of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. held on December 7, 2021, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to initially approve the investment sub-advisory agreements for each of the Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio and Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) between Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric” or the “Sub-Adviser”). Representatives of the Adviser explained that they were recommending approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric so that Parametric can continue to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
In evaluating the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, the Adviser provided the Board with a variety of materials to assist with the Board’s consideration of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric. The Board also took into account certain materials provided to the Board at prior meetings. The materials provided to the Board included information concerning, among other data: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric to the Funds, including the investment personnel who would be providing such services; (2) Parametric’s proposed compensation; (3) the performance of the Funds; and (4) the terms of the investment sub-advisory agreements.
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the initial approval of the Funds’ investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric, including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements, the Board took into account information relating to the Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and periodic reports by the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and code of ethics. The Board also took into consideration its familiarity with the Sub-Adviser and the individuals at the Sub-Adviser who would continue to have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ volatility overlay through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreements and the portfolio managers’ experience in managing the Funds’ volatility overlay. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
In considering the Funds’ performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Funds’ performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board took into account the impact of the Funds’ design on their investment performance relative to their respective benchmarks and peer groups. The Board members also took into consideration that the Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies and portfolio managers were not expected to change as a result of the entering into of investment sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Funds’ relative performance was satisfactory.
Sub-Advisory Fees
In considering the sub-advisory fees to be paid to Parametric, the Board noted that each Fund would continue to pay an advisory fee to the Adviser, that that advisory fee would not be change as a result of the entering into of an investment sub-advisory agreement with Parametric and that the Adviser would pay a sub-advisory fee to Parametric out of the advisory fee it received from the Fund. The Board also took into account that no changes were proposed to the expense limitations currently in place for the Funds. The Board further considered the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Parametric relative to the sub-advisory fees paid to the Funds’ other sub-adviser and the fees paid to a previous sub-adviser to the Funds. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by CRM to Parametric were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

1 S&P Global LargeMidCap Managed Risk Index - Moderate Conservative is an unmanaged index designed to simulate a dynamic protective portfolio that allocates between the underlying equity index and cash, based on realized volatilities of the underlying equity and bond indices, while maintaining a fixed 40% allocation to the underlying bond index. The index has a risk management overlay that seeks to limit the index volatility to 10%, and includes a synthetic put position to reduce downside risk.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans. Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly from investment in exchange-traded funds (the Underlying Funds).
** 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 VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 pursue a balance of current income and growth potential, while seeking to manage overall portfolio volatility. The Fund invests primarily in exchange-traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the Underlying Funds).
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class F shares.
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:
Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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.

Total $ (104,548) $ — $ — $ (104,548)
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. Distributions from the Underlying Funds and short-term investments are recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
C  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.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
E  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.
F   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.
G  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.

H  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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 Calvert Research and Management (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 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

CRM pays AIP and Parametric a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $984 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.81% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $47,241.
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 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $48,224.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $100,466 for Class F shares.
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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $54 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, 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  Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $29,166, all of which were payable to an affiliate of AIP, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. Included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2022 are amounts payable to an affiliate of AIP under the Servicing Plan of $4,702.

7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $8,982,423 and the total value of collateral received was $9,247,529, comprised of cash of $8,607,060 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $640,469.
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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
9  Affiliated Funds

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. It also indicated that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed its benchmark index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2021. The performance data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed its blended benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the impact of the design of the Fund on its relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were above the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were at the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Approval of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that the entering into of an investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser must be approved by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors ( “Board”) of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. held on December 7, 2021, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to initially approve the investment sub-advisory agreements for each of the Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio and Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) between Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric” or the “Sub-Adviser”). Representatives of the Adviser explained that they were recommending approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric so that Parametric can continue to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
In evaluating the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, the Adviser provided the Board with a variety of materials to assist with the Board’s consideration of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric. The Board also took into account certain materials provided to the Board at prior meetings. The materials provided to the Board included information concerning, among other data: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric to the Funds, including the investment personnel who would be providing such services; (2) Parametric’s proposed compensation; (3) the performance of the Funds; and (4) the terms of the investment sub-advisory agreements.
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the initial approval of the Funds’ investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric, including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements, the Board took into account information relating to the Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and periodic reports by the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and code of ethics. The Board also took into consideration its familiarity with the Sub-Adviser and the individuals at the Sub-Adviser who would continue to have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ volatility overlay through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreements and the portfolio managers’ experience in managing the Funds’ volatility overlay. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
In considering the Funds’ performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Funds’ performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board took into account the impact of the Funds’ design on their investment performance relative to their respective benchmarks and peer groups. The Board members also took into consideration that the Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies and portfolio managers were not expected to change as a result of the entering into of investment sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Funds’ relative performance was satisfactory.
Sub-Advisory Fees
In considering the sub-advisory fees to be paid to Parametric, the Board noted that each Fund would continue to pay an advisory fee to the Adviser, that that advisory fee would not be change as a result of the entering into of an investment sub-advisory agreement with Parametric and that the Adviser would pay a sub-advisory fee to Parametric out of the advisory fee it received from the Fund. The Board also took into account that no changes were proposed to the expense limitations currently in place for the Funds. The Board further considered the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Parametric relative to the sub-advisory fees paid to the Funds’ other sub-adviser and the fees paid to a previous sub-adviser to the Funds. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by CRM to Parametric were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric.

Because the Adviser would pay the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fees out of its advisory fees, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Funds to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric. The Board noted that if each Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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
June 30, 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. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. 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.

1 S&P Global LargeMidCap Managed Risk Index - Moderate Aggressive is an unmanaged index designed to simulate a dynamic protective portfolio that allocates between the underlying equity index and cash, based on realized volatilities of the underlying equity and bond indices, while maintaining a fixed 20% allocation to the underlying bond index. The index has a risk management overlay that seeks to limit the index volatility to 14%, and includes a synthetic put position to reduce downside risk. The launch date of the S&P Global LargeMidCap Managed Risk Index - Moderate Aggressive was September 6, 2016; information presented prior to the index launch date is back-tested. Back-tested performance is not actual performance, but is hypothetical. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index was officially launched.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class F $1,000.00 $1,020.78 $4.06 ** 0.81%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (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 December 31, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans. Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly from investment in exchange-traded funds (the Underlying Funds).
** 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 VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Products, 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 pursue growth potential and some current income, while seeking to manage overall portfolio volatility. The Fund invests primarily in exchange-traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the Underlying Funds).
Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class F shares.
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:
Securities. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business 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 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.

Futures Contracts $ (235,174) $  — $  — $ (235,174)
Total $ (235,174) $ — $ — $ (235,174)
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. Distributions from the Underlying Funds and short-term investments are recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
C  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.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.
E  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.
F   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.
G  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.

H  Interim Financial Statements— The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 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 Calvert Research and Management (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 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee amounted to $253,153.
Pursuant to investment sub-advisory agreements, CRM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (AIP) and, effective January 1, 2022, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric). AIP is responsible for selecting the Exchange-Traded Funds in which the Fund invests and Parametric is responsible for executing the Fund’s volatility management strategy. CRM pays AIP and Parametric a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $1,979 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by CRM. CRM did 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 0.81% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after April 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $61,860.
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 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, CRM was paid administrative fees of $75,946.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $158,221 for Class F shares.
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 June 30, 2022, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $16 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, 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  Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $46,086, all of which were payable to an affiliate of AIP, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. Included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2022 are amounts payable to an affiliate of AIP under the Servicing Plan of $7,433.

Gross unrealized appreciation $ 26,671,008
Gross unrealized depreciation (1,655,441)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 25,015,567
6  Financial Instruments
A summary of futures contracts outstanding at June 30, 2022 is included in the Schedule of Investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge against changes in market volatility and declines in the value of the Fund’s investments and to adjust the Fund’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level.
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was as follows:
Derivative Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption Assets Liabilities
Futures contracts Distributable earnings   $371,688 (1) $(235,174) (1)
    
(1) Only the current day's variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Statement of Operations Caption   
Derivative Net realized gain (loss): Futures

The average notional cost of futures contracts (short) outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $24,221,000.
7  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 June 30, 2022, the total value of securities on loan was $18,072,342 and the total value of collateral received was $18,613,383, comprised of cash of $18,473,060 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $140,323.
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 June 30, 2022.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
9  Affiliated Funds
At June 30, 2022, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $8,095,307, which represents 7.0% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:

11  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 of disease, 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, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. 
At a video conference meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 14, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. The meeting was held by video conference due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 pursuant to temporary exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”). 
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;

Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement. 
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio (the “Fund”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the investment sub-advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively, the Board reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and Sub Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of the Adviser’s organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser and Sub Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities overseeing the Sub-Adviser and the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreement and the Sub Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement, respectively.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The data also indicated that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, while it had underperformed its benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The performance data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed its blended benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the impact of the design of the Fund on its relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe, its benchmark index and its blended benchmark.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were above the median of the Fund’s expense universe and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of the Fund’s expense universe. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable. 
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee out of its advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s deliberations concerning the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Approval of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements 
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that the entering into of an investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser must be approved by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. 
At a meeting of the Board of Directors ( “Board”) of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. held on December 7, 2021, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to initially approve the investment sub-advisory agreements for each of the Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio, Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio and Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) between Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric” or the “Sub-Adviser”). Representatives of the Adviser explained that they were recommending approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric so that Parametric can continue to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
In evaluating the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, the Adviser provided the Board with a variety of materials to assist with the Board’s consideration of the investment sub-advisory agreements between CRM and Parametric. The Board also took into account certain materials provided to the Board at prior meetings. The materials provided to the Board included information concerning, among other data: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric to the Funds, including the investment personnel who would be providing such services; (2) Parametric’s proposed compensation; (3) the performance of the Funds; and (4) the terms of the investment sub-advisory agreements. 
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements for the Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the initial approval of the Funds’ investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present. 
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors. 
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric, including the fees payable under each agreement, is in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the investment sub-advisory agreements with Parametric.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements, the Board took into account information relating to the Sub-Adviser’s operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel and periodic reports by the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and code of ethics. The Board also took into consideration its familiarity with the Sub-Adviser and the individuals at the Sub-Adviser who would continue to have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ volatility overlay through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-Adviser in fulfilling its duties under the investment sub-advisory agreements and the portfolio managers’ experience in managing the Funds’ volatility overlay. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Sub-Adviser under the investment sub-advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
In considering the Funds’ performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Funds’ performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board took into account the impact of the Funds’ design on their investment performance relative to their respective benchmarks and peer groups. The Board members also took into consideration that the Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies and portfolio managers were not expected to change as a result of the entering into of investment sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Funds’ relative performance was satisfactory. 
Sub-Advisory Fees
In considering the sub-advisory fees to be paid to Parametric, the Board noted that each Fund would continue to pay an advisory fee to the Adviser, that that advisory fee would not be change as a result of the entering into of an investment sub-advisory agreement with Parametric and that the Adviser would pay a sub-advisory fee to Parametric out of the advisory fee it received from the Fund. The Board also took into account that no changes were proposed to the expense limitations currently in place for the Funds. The Board further considered the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Parametric relative to the sub-advisory fees paid to the Funds’ other sub-adviser and the fees paid to a previous sub-adviser to the Funds. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by CRM to Parametric were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Parametric.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 14, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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.
