* In U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At June 30, 2024, the aggregate value of these securities is $57,052,168 or 13.4% of the Fund's net assets.
(2) Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly. Rate shown is the rate at June 30, 2024.
(3) Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at June 30, 2024.
(4) When-issued security.
(5) Step coupon security. Interest rate represents the rate in effect at
June 30, 2024.
(6) Non-income producing security.
(7) All or a portion of this security was on loan at June 30, 2024. The aggregate market value of securities on loan at June 30, 2024 was $4,764,702.
(8) Issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments and is non-income producing.
(9) Security converts to variable rate after the indicated fixed-rate coupon period.
(10) Perpetual security with no stated maturity date but may be subject to calls by the issuer.
(11) Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside the United States. Security may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At June 30, 2024, the aggregate value of these securities is $121,197 or less than 0.05% of the Fund's net assets.
(12) Amount is less than 0.05% or (0.05)%, as applicable.
(13) Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the "Prime Rate"). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Rates for SOFR are generally 1 or 3-month tenors and may also be subject to a credit spread adjustment. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold.
(14) Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. At June 30, 2024, the total value of unfunded loan commitments is $13,561. See Note 1F for description.
(15) Build America Bond. Represents taxable municipal obligation issued pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support.
(16) TBA (To Be Announced) securities are purchased or sold on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and maturity date. The actual principal amount, which is not expected to differ significantly from the commitment amount, and maturity date are determined upon settlement.
(17) May be deemed to be an affiliated investment company. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of June 30, 2024.
(18) Represents investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a competitive total return through an actively managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments which offer income and capital growth opportunity.
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 by the Board's valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities.Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services' pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans.Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, 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.
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. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund's forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Fair Valuation.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect 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.

B Investment Transactions and Income- Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which
18

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C Share Class Accounting- Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions- The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Senior Floating-Rate Loans- The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund's investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
F Unfunded Loan Commitments- The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. The commitments, if any, are disclosed in the accompanying Schedule of Investments.
G 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.
H Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts- The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
I 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.
J 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.
K 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.

L 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.
M When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions- The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.
N Interim Financial Statements- The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2024 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 an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets Annual Fee
Rate
Up to and including $500 million 0.410%
Over $500 million up to and including $1 billion 0.360%
Over $1 billion 0.325%
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $834,447 or 0.41% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $5,791 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
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, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $244,229.
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 fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class F shares for the sale and distribution of Class F shares. Distribution fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $24,127 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, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $442 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 $225,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 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, 2024, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $58,808, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
4 Investment Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 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, paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $76,130,822 and $95,264,127, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns and TBA transactions, were $235,350,976 and $234,173,535, respectively.
5 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at June 30, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $337,611,933
Gross unrealized appreciation $121,018,523
Gross unrealized depreciation (9,702,355)
Net unrealized appreciation $111,316,168
6 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments. At June 30, 2024, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Foreign Exchange Risk: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against the decline in the value of currencies in which its portfolio holdings are denominated against the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rate Risk: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk and to manage duration.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund's net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At June 30, 2024, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $190. At June 30, 2024, there were no assets pledged by the Fund for such liability.
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments' payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The
21
Table of Contents
Calvert
VP SRI Balanced Portfolio
June 30, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow the counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund's custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments.
At June 30, 2024, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure was as follows:
Risk Derivative Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption Assets Liabilities
Foreign exchange Forward foreign currency exchange contracts Receivable/Payable for open forward foreign currency
exchange contracts
$174 $(190)
Interest rate Futures contracts Distributable earnings 214,221(1) (45,745)(1)
Total $214,395 $(45,935)
Derivatives not subject to master netting agreements $214,221 $(45,745)
Total Derivatives subject to master netting agreements $174 $(190)
(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 Fund's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by risk, which are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are presented in the table above. The following tables present the Fund's derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for such assets and pledged by the Fund for such liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

The average notional cost of futures contracts and average notional amounts of other derivative contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately as follows:
Futures Contracts - Long Futures Contracts - Short Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts*
$34,090,000 $5,878,000 $212,000
* The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the absolute value of notional amounts of currency purchased and currency sold.
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, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $4,777,811 and the total value of collateral received was $4,921,705, comprised of cash of $3,948,189 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $973,516.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 2024 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, 2024.
8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. 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 2023, 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, 2024.
9 Affiliated Investments
At June 30, 2024, the value of the Fund's investment in issuers and funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $11,087,612, which represents 2.6% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:

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 an in-person 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 10-11, 2024, 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.
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 SRI Balanced 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 its blended benchmark. The Board's review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. 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, 2023. It also indicated that the Fund had outperformed its blended benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe 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 (referred to collectively as "management fees") and the Fund's total expenses 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 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 Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability 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 also took into account the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specific asset levels. 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.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert VP SRI Mid Cap Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of the equity securities of mid-sized companies that are undervalued but demonstrate a potential for growth.
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 by the Board's valuation designee.
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.
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.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect 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, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $24,295,460(1) $ - $ - $24,295,460
Short-Term Investments:
Affiliated Fund 525,250  -  - 525,250
Securities Lending Collateral 536,526  -  - 536,526
Total Investments $25,357,236 $ - $ - $25,357,236
(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. 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 Foreign Currency Transactions- The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
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, 2024 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 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $82,618.

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, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $408 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity 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 0.99% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after May 1, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $10,888.
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, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $15,253.
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, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $162 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 $225,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 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, 2024, expenses incurred under the Servicing Plan amounted to $6,606 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
4 Investment Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $5,072,524 and $7,151,653, respectively.
5 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $21,501,697
Gross unrealized appreciation $4,795,100
Gross unrealized depreciation (939,561)
Net unrealized appreciation $3,855,539

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, 2024, the total value of securities on loan was $763,576 and the total value of collateral received was $790,959, comprised of cash of $536,526 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $254,433.
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, 2024.
Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $536,526 $ - $ - $ - $536,526
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at June 30, 2024 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, 2024.
7 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. 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 2023, 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, 2024.
8 Affiliated Investments
At June 30, 2024, the value of the Fund's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $525,250, which represents 2.1% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:

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 an in-person 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 10-11, 2024, 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.
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 SRI Mid Cap 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 its benchmark index. The Board's review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe and its benchmark index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, noting that a new portfolio management team had assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund in the latter half of 2022. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and its benchmark index.
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 (referred to collectively as "management fees") were below the median of the Fund's expense group and the Fund's total expenses 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 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 Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability 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 was not necessary 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.
