Dear Shareholders,
Global economic growth is vital to the improvement of the lives of all people, especially so to those of the ultra-poor. However, how that growth is achieved is critical to the long-term health and sustainability of our collective societies. Business activity that does not show consideration for environmental and social impacts may have calamitous consequences, many of which we are witnessing now, including political and social unrest, unjust wealth distribution and diminished bio-diversity.
The returns of the markets (chart below) reflect the impact of the uncertainty created by a legacy of unsustainable development and the current lack of positive economic growth trends. The steep decline in the emerging market equities index (reflective of the flight of capital and currency weakness) is particularly impactful as these regions include some of the largest populations of individuals most in need of sustainable and inclusive economic development.

In an effort to mitigate this issue and foster the long term sustainability and justice of our global economic system, many of the world’s leaders participated with the United Nations (“UN”) to design and implement a 15-year plan to create the kind of economic development (http://www.calvert.com/media-relations/press-releases/calvert-ceo-participates-in-the-un-sustainable-development-summit) that should benefit the poorest people in the world, preserve opportunities for future generations, and provide stewardship to the environment. This effort, which kicked-off at the UN Summit earlier this month, involves bringing together private enterprise, governments, NGOs, development banks and people of all walks of life to achieve the “Sustainable Development Goals 2015” (SDGs). These goals include: eliminating extreme poverty, eliminating extreme hunger, fostering good health for all, promoting gender equality, and creating environmental sustainability and peace and stability throughout the world. The SDGs impact residents of every country in some manner, but no one more acutely than the denizens of the developing and emerging nations.
It was my privilege, as Calvert’s CEO, to be invited to the Summit, as one of 350 global leaders asked to participate in the development of this critical 15-year sustainability plan. During the course of this event, I announced that Calvert Investments would lead a project (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/calvert-un-sustainable-development-goals) to map the Sustainable Development Goals to standards that companies can be measured by, and that investors may look to in order to
4 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)
understand which companies are helping to create sustainable, responsible growth. It is integral to the success and achievement of the goals, that the largest holders of capital, i.e., corporations, help drive these initiatives.
The crucial role that corporations now play in creating social and environmental outcomes was highlighted at the UN sessions by the presence of CEOs and sustainability officers from around the world, and the vital role of investors and the capital markets was reflected by our presence and contribution. In addition to representing your interests at the UN event, Calvert has contributed to the understanding of the role that corporations and investors play in driving social and environmental conditions through our most recent research, “The Role of the Corporation in Society”, available to you on our website, (see http://www.calvert.com/perspective/governance/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Despite the fact that the past year has not brought the financial returns that you or I would have wished for as investors, I believe that when we look back on 2015 several years from now we are likely to see it as a transformative year in terms of our economic and social systems. Individuals and organizations of all types — corporate, government, NGO, religious — are coming together due to the realization that we need a more sustainable and just system to serve the needs of all stakeholders. As a shareholder of Calvert Funds, you are very much part of this mission, as together we are a leader and innovator in connecting capital to mission, with the dual purpose of driving competitive investment returns with just and sustainable economic progress.
On behalf of all of us at Calvert Investments, thank you for the confidence you have placed in our management of your funds and the ongoing privilege to serve you. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you as we strive to meet your financial needs while also helping to render the world a better place for all people.
Respectfully,
John Streur

Performance
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 1.06% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015. The Fund closely tracked the performance of its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index, which returned 1.84% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.
Investment Process
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of stocks of large U.S. companies.
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund is managed using a passive investment strategy with the objective of matching the day-to-day investment performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index as closely as practicable. This is accomplished by investing in all, or virtually all, of the stocks in the Index and holding them in the same proportion. Variations in the Fund’s total return generally reflect the variation in the total return of the Index. Effective June 19, 2015, the Fund adopted The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. The Principles may be found at http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles.
Calvert Investment Management relaunched the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index on June 19, 2015. The Index was renamed (formerly known as the Calvert Social Index) and there were several changes to the Index’s construction and methodology. The starting universe (underlying index) was changed from the Dow Jones Total Market Index to the S-Network U.S. Large Cap 1000 Index, and S-Network took over as the Index agent. Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index also changed from a float-adjusted market-cap construction methodology to a sector neutral methodology. Using the sector weights of the underlying index, Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index takes the constituents that pass our research criteria and reweights them to closely match the GICS (S-Net 1000 Global Industry Classification Standard) sector weights. Changes were also made to the research process and Calvert moved to a more quantitatively driven approach from its previous largely exclusionary approach.
Coincident with the relaunch, both the Index and the Fund were reconstituted. The Index reconstitutes semiannually, and is rebalanced quarterly.
Market Review
Improving economic conditions in the United States compared with a stagnating or deteriorating growth outlook in much of the rest of the world helped domestic equities outperform international equity markets over the 12-month reporting period. Despite an initial positive reaction by European financial markets following the quantitative easing announcement by the European Central Bank (ECB), there are already signs the eurozone economic recovery may have a hard time accelerating. Further signs of an economic slowdown in China and concerns about the ability of the Chinese government to engineer a soft economic landing weighed on emerging market stocks throughout the period and contributed to the broader sell-off in equities at the end of the third quarter of 2015.
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015, the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 both declined 0.61% while the MSCI EAFE Investable Market Index (IMI) and MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined 7.16% and 18.98%, respectively. The Russell 2000 returned 1.25%. The Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned 1.50%.
A wide range of U.S. macroeconomic data improved over the year. Most importantly, the job market was relatively healthy for most of the 12-month period, adding an average of 237,000 jobs per month. This helped push the unemployment rate down to 5.1%, though this was driven in part by a declining labor force participation rate and has not yet been accompanied by meaningful wage growth.

The price of crude oil declined by 50% during the period. With lower commodity prices, a stronger dollar, and little wage growth, inflation in the U.S. remained below the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The Fed decided to delay interest rate hikes given the continued low inflation and slowing global growth, but is still considering raising rates before the end of the calendar year.
Slowing growth in China helped push down commodity prices and contributed to weakness in other emerging market economies that rely heavily on Chinese commodity consumption. The low level of inflation provides the Chinese government with room for additional accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, which we saw with the devaluing of the yuan.
Portfolio Strategy
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2015, the consumer discretionary sector was the best performer while the energy sector was the poorest. Six sectors generated positive returns. The largest contributors to investment performance were in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors and the largest detractors were in the energy sector.
Outlook
Central banks around the globe have engaged in a concurrent, unprecedented effort to keep interest rates low in hopes of boosting economic activity. As a result, risky assets have appeared more attractive to investors and benefited from an expansion in earnings multiples over the last several years. Although valuations are far from extreme levels, they are well above historical long-term averages, making markets more vulnerable to shocks from some of the negative catalysts currently in the global economy. These include continued economic deceleration in China — a scenario that began to unfold in the third quarter of 2015.

We are worried that concurrent quantitative easing (QE) across multiple global economies could be less potent than that implemented in the U.S. after the financial crisis if these efforts effectively cancel each other out. Market enthusiasm for global QE may wane if robust economic recovery doesn’t follow, hindered by underlying structural economic and fiscal challenges in many economies, including Europe and Japan.
In our view, the probability of a hard economic landing for China is increasing. If this process occurs in a disorderly fashion, it may have a significant negative impact on both market sentiment and the global economy since China is the world’s second-largest economy and has a meaningful impact on corporate earnings streams globally.
We believe the U.S. economy can continue to grow, although the tough first quarter of 2015 caused by severe weather will have a negative impact on growth numbers for the year. The positive impact of lower oil prices should provide additional
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 7
support to the economy. Despite our positive outlook on the U.S. economy in the medium-to-long run, we continue to be concerned about potential market jitters in the short term given recent data indicating softness globally. Large-cap stocks with relatively high percentages of profits exposed to foreign markets will most likely be more volatile in the next 12-month period as European and Asian economies continue to work through challenging growth environments, soft demand, and the impacts of a high dollar.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Class A shares, reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A sales charge of 4.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with a broad based market index. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data, including most recent month-end, visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 0.87%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund’s investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015).
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.
The Fund charges an annual low balance account fee of $15 to those shareholders whose regular account balance is less than $5,000 ($1,000 for IRA accounts). If the low balance fee applies to your account, you should subtract the fee from the ending account value in the chart below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”) (formerly Calvert Social Index Fund), a series of the Responsible Index Series, Inc. (formerly Calvert Social Index Series, Inc.) , is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. is comprised of three separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Fund offers four classes of shares of capital stock - Classes A, C, I, and Y. The Fund also offered Class B shares; however, all existing Class B shares of the Fund were automatically converted to Class A shares of the Fund at the close of business on April 20, 2015, without the imposition of the applicable Class A sales load or the Class B contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares were closed at that time and are no longer available. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $100,000. The $100,000 minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived in certain other instances where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries, foundations, and endowments that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The 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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.
Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.
The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized
26 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the Fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.
At September 30, 2015, securities valued at $1,262 or 0.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 27
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. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charged a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee was accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. This fee was eliminated effective February 2, 2015.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the 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.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $302,511,697 and $151,295,576, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2015 |
| 2014 |
|
Ordinary income |
| $3,456,144 |
|
| $2,655,347 |
|
Long-term capital gains | 10,199,646 |
| 6,188,771 |
|
Total |
| $13,655,790 |
|
| $8,844,118 |
|
As of September 30, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
|
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation |
| $74,035,188 |
|
Unrealized (depreciation) | (26,232,508) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $47,802,680 |
|
|
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $7,677,122 |
|
Undistributed long-term capital gain |
| $34,879,112 |
|
|
Federal income tax cost of investments |
| $459,772,152 |
|
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Fund are due to real estate investment trusts.

| | | |
Undistributed net investment income |
| ($44,640 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) |
| $44,640 |

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended September 30, 2015.
NOTE E — IN-KIND TRANSACTIONS
The Fund may accept in-kind contributions and redemptions. In-kind contributions are accounted for at the fair market value of the in-kind securities contributed on the date of contribution, which becomes the cost basis of the contributed securities. For the year ended September 30, 2015, the cost basis in securities contributed was $5,876,638.

NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At a special meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) held on November 24, 2015, the Board approved the recommendation made by Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee payable by the Calvert Funds at 12 basis points for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. The change is being implemented in two phases. First, CIAS will voluntarily waive the amount of the existing administrative fee above 12 basis points for the period from December 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016. Second, CIAS and the Fund have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 12 basis point administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. In the case of any series or share class that currently pays an administrative fee to CIAS that is less than 12 basis points, CIAS has contractually agreed to waive the difference between that lower administrative fee and the 12 basis point fee until January 31, 2018.
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2015, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Fund considers 99.6% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as qualified dividend income and as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund also considers $10,199,646 of the long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year as capital gain dividends in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date -values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35
percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio—how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Dear Shareholders,
Global economic growth is vital to the improvement of the lives of all people, especially so to those of the ultra-poor. However, how that growth is achieved is critical to the long-term health and sustainability of our collective societies. Business activity that does not show consideration for environmental and social impacts may have calamitous consequences, many of which we are witnessing now, including political and social unrest, unjust wealth distribution and diminished bio-diversity.
The returns of the markets (chart below) reflect the impact of the uncertainty created by a legacy of unsustainable development and the current lack of positive economic growth trends. The steep decline in the emerging market equities index (reflective of the flight of capital and currency weakness) is particularly impactful as these regions include some of the largest populations of individuals most in need of sustainable and inclusive economic development.

In an effort to mitigate this issue and foster the long term sustainability and justice of our global economic system, many of the world’s leaders participated with the United Nations (“UN”) to design and implement a 15-year plan to create the kind of economic development (http://www.calvert.com/media-relations/press-releases/calvert-ceo-participates-in-the-un-sustainable-development-summit) that should benefit the poorest people in the world, preserve opportunities for future generations, and provide stewardship to the environment. This effort, which kicked-off at the UN Summit earlier this month, involves bringing together private enterprise, governments, NGOs, development banks and people of all walks of life to achieve the “Sustainable Development Goals 2015” (SDGs). These goals include: eliminating extreme poverty, eliminating extreme hunger, fostering good health for all, promoting gender equality, and creating environmental sustainability and peace and stability throughout the world. The SDGs impact residents of every country in some manner, but no one more acutely than the denizens of the developing and emerging nations.
It was my privilege, as Calvert’s CEO, to be invited to the Summit, as one of 350 global leaders asked to participate in the development of this critical 15-year sustainability plan. During the course of this event, I announced that Calvert Investments would lead a project (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/calvert-un-sustainable-development-goals) to map the Sustainable Development Goals to standards that companies can be measured by, and that investors may look to in order to
4 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)
understand which companies are helping to create sustainable, responsible growth. It is integral to the success and achievement of the goals, that the largest holders of capital, i.e., corporations, help drive these initiatives.
The crucial role that corporations now play in creating social and environmental outcomes was highlighted at the UN sessions by the presence of CEOs and sustainability officers from around the world, and the vital role of investors and the capital markets was reflected by our presence and contribution. In addition to representing your interests at the UN event, Calvert has contributed to the understanding of the role that corporations and investors play in driving social and environmental conditions through our most recent research, “The Role of the Corporation in Society”, available to you on our website, (see http://www.calvert.com/perspective/governance/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Despite the fact that the past year has not brought the financial returns that you or I would have wished for as investors, I believe that when we look back on 2015 several years from now we are likely to see it as a transformative year in terms of our economic and social systems. Individuals and organizations of all types — corporate, government, NGO, religious — are coming together due to the realization that we need a more sustainable and just system to serve the needs of all stakeholders. As a shareholder of Calvert Funds, you are very much part of this mission, as together we are a leader and innovator in connecting capital to mission, with the dual purpose of driving competitive investment returns with just and sustainable economic progress.
On behalf of all of us at Calvert Investments, thank you for the confidence you have placed in our management of your funds and the ongoing privilege to serve you. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you as we strive to meet your financial needs while also helping to render the world a better place for all people.
Respectfully,
John Streur

Performance
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) declined 7.25% since inception, June 19, 2015, through September 30, 2015. The Fund closely tracked the performance of its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index (the “Index”), which declined 7.19% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.
Investment Process
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of growth stocks of large U.S. companies.
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund is managed using a passive investment strategy with the objective of matching the day-to-day investment performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index as closely as practicable. This is accomplished by investing in all, or virtually all, of the stocks in the Index and holding them in the same proportion.
Calvert Investment Management launched the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index on June 19, 2015 based on constituents from the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index. The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund was launched at the same time. The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.
Using the constituents of U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index and the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index are constructed so that when combined in equal parts, they will be approximately equivalent to U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index. Each constituent is ranked on nine factors that determine the growth and value characteristics of the company. The combined growth and value scores are ranked from the company with the highest growth-like characteristics down to that with the lowest growth-like characteristics (and therefore the highest value-like characteristics). The top 30% of the ranked list are exclusively placed in the growth index and the bottom 30% are placed exclusively in the value index. The middle 40% are divided, by market cap, into both the growth and value indexes on a linear basis. Using the current indexes as examples, roughly 700 companies comprise the core index and the growth and value indexes have approximately 500 constituents each (with overlap of approximately 300 constituents).
Portfolio Strategy
For the period from June 19, 2015 (Fund inception) through September 30, 2015, all sectors posted negative returns, and consequently, all sectors detracted from investment performance. The energy sector was the worst performer; consumer discretionary was the best.
Outlook
Central banks around the globe have engaged in a concurrent, unprecedented effort to keep interest rates low in hopes of boosting economic activity. As a result, risky assets have appeared more attractive to investors and benefited from an expansion in earnings multiples over the last several years. Although valuations are far from extreme levels, they are well above historical long-term averages, making markets more vulnerable to shocks from some of the negative catalysts currently in the global economy. These include continued economic deceleration in China — a scenario that began to unfold in the third quarter of 2015.
We are worried that concurrent quantitative easing (QE) across multiple global economies could be less potent than that implemented in the U.S. after the financial crisis if these efforts effectively cancel each other out. Market enthusiasm for global QE may wane if robust economic recovery doesn’t follow, hindered by underlying structural economic and fiscal challenges in many economies, including Europe and Japan.

In our view, the probability of a hard economic landing for China is increasing. If this process occurs in a disorderly fashion, it may have a significant negative impact on both market sentiment and the global economy since China is the world’s second-largest economy and has a meaningful impact on corporate earnings streams globally.
We believe the U.S. economy can continue to grow, although the tough first quarter of 2015 caused by severe weather will have a negative impact on growth numbers for the year. The positive impact of lower oil prices should provide additional support to the economy. Despite our positive outlook on the U.S. economy in the medium-to-long run, we continue to be concerned about potential market jitters in the short term given recent data indicating softness globally. Large-cap stocks with relatively high percentages of profits exposed to foreign markets will most likely be more volatile in the next 12-month period as European and Asian economies continue to work through challenging growth environments, soft demand, and the impacts of a high dollar.

All performance data shown in the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes
reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data, including most recent month-end, visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.71%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund’s investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015).
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.
The Fund charges an annual low balance account fee of $15 to those shareholders whose regular account balance is less than $5,000 ($1,000 for IRA accounts). If the low balance fee applies to your account, you should subtract the fee from the ending account value in the chart below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expense ratios shown in the Financial Highlights represent the actual expenses incurred for the fiscal period. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (formerly, Calvert Social Index Series, Inc.), as of September 30, 2015, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from June 19, 2015 (Inception Date) through September 30, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund as of September 30, 2015, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from June 19, 2015 (Inception Date) through September 30, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (formerly Calvert Social Index Series, Inc.), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. is comprised of three separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Fund commenced operations on June 19, 2015. The Fund currently offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have a higher expense ratio than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $100,000. The $100,000 minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived in certain other instances where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries, foundations, and endowments that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The 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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.
Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.
The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
22 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
valued at their fair value taking these events into account and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the Fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.
At September 30, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

* | For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets. |
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The 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. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 23
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the 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.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .15%, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $703 was payable at period end.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2017. The contractual expense caps are .57%, 1.32%, .22%, and .32% for Class A, C, I, and Y, respectively.

Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“CID”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan that permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution and servicing of its shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% and 1.00% annually of average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly, of .25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $533 was payable at period end.
Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $34 for the period ended September 30, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, $3 was payable at period end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
CID received $589 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the period ended September 30, 2015.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $52,000 plus a meeting fee of up to $3,000 for each Board meeting attended.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $6,326,254 and $134,795, respectively.
As of September 30, 2015, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
|
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation |
| $103,099 |
|
Unrealized (depreciation) | (550,843) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| ($447,744 | ) |
|
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $16,053 |
|
Undistributed long-term capital gain | $— |
|
|
Federal income tax cost of investments |
| $6,153,685 |
|
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales.
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the period ended September 30, 2015.
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At a special meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) held on November 24, 2015, the Board approved the recommendation made by Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee payable by the Calvert Funds at 12 basis points for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. The change is being implemented in two phases. First, CIAS will voluntarily waive the amount of the existing administrative fee above 12 basis points for the period from December 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016. Second, CIAS and the Fund have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 12 basis point administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. In the case of any series or share class that currently pays an administrative fee to CIAS that is less than 12 basis points, CIAS has contractually agreed to waive the difference between that lower administrative fee and the 12 basis point fee until January 31, 2018.
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2015, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date -values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a
30 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)
percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio—how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on March 3, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between Calvert Social Index Series, Inc. (now known as Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.) and the Advisor, that would add the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”) to the Advisory Agreement.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. At meetings held on February 10, 2015 and March 3, 2015, the disinterested Directors reviewed materials provided by the Advisor regarding various services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel who would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Fund and performance information for a comparable index fund managed by the Advisor; the anticipated profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s projected growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board took into account information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board considered the Advisor’s proposed management style and the performance of the Calvert Social Index Fund (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund), which is designed to track the Calvert Social Index (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index), a universe that measures the investment return of large-cap U.S. based companies that meet Calvert’s responsible investing criteria. The Board considered that the Fund will utilize the large-cap universe already defined by the Calvert Social Index to create an individual index of securities that embodies the investment principles the Advisor proposed to use in managing the Fund, as well as the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board also took into account the responsible
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31
investing-related research and analysis to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.
In considering the management style and investment strategies that the Advisor proposed to use in managing the Fund, the Board of Directors took into consideration the performance of the Calvert Social Index Fund (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund) and the Calvert Social Index, which would form the basis of the Fund’s investment universe. The Board noted that the Fund will employ a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index (the “Index”), a newly-created index that measures the performance of those companies that meet the Advisor’s responsible investment principles and that are selected from the universe of companies included in the S-Network U.S. Large Cap 1000 Index. In addition, the Board took into consideration certain differences between how the Advisor proposes to manage the Fund and how it manages the Calvert Social Index Fund, as well as the impact these differences were expected to have on the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and that the Advisor’s proposed investment strategies were appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objective.
In considering the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s estimated total expenses for its Class A shares, which included advisory and administrative fees, were within the range of total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor, described in the materials provided to the Board. The Board took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses for a specified period of time following the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s estimated expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the projected size of the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor would be providing shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they would receive compensation. The Board also took into account whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses for a specified period of time following the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Board also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ anticipated level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s projected size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Conclusions
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies; (c) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Advisor’s proposed investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objective; and (e) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee is reasonable in view of the quality of services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholders,
Global economic growth is vital to the improvement of the lives of all people, especially so to those of the ultra-poor. However, how that growth is achieved is critical to the long-term health and sustainability of our collective societies. Business activity that does not show consideration for environmental and social impacts may have calamitous consequences, many of which we are witnessing now, including political and social unrest, unjust wealth distribution and diminished bio-diversity.
The returns of the markets (chart below) reflect the impact of the uncertainty created by a legacy of unsustainable development and the current lack of positive economic growth trends. The steep decline in the emerging market equities index (reflective of the flight of capital and currency weakness) is particularly impactful as these regions include some of the largest populations of individuals most in need of sustainable and inclusive economic development.

In an effort to mitigate this issue and foster the long term sustainability and justice of our global economic system, many of the world’s leaders participated with the United Nations (“UN”) to design and implement a 15-year plan to create the kind of economic development (http://www.calvert.com/media-relations/press-releases/calvert-ceo-participates-in-the-un-sustainable-development-summit) that should benefit the poorest people in the world, preserve opportunities for future generations, and provide stewardship to the environment. This effort, which kicked-off at the UN Summit earlier this month, involves bringing together private enterprise, governments, NGOs, development banks and people of all walks of life to achieve the “Sustainable Development Goals 2015” (SDGs). These goals include: eliminating extreme poverty, eliminating extreme hunger, fostering good health for all, promoting gender equality, and creating environmental sustainability and peace and stability throughout the world. The SDGs impact residents of every country in some manner, but no one more acutely than the denizens of the developing and emerging nations.
It was my privilege, as Calvert’s CEO, to be invited to the Summit, as one of 350 global leaders asked to participate in the development of this critical 15-year sustainability plan. During the course of this event, I announced that Calvert Investments would lead a project (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/calvert-un-sustainable-development-goals) to map the Sustainable Development Goals to standards that companies can be measured by, and that investors may look to in order to

understand which companies are helping to create sustainable, responsible growth. It is integral to the success and achievement of the goals, that the largest holders of capital, i.e., corporations, help drive these initiatives.
The crucial role that corporations now play in creating social and environmental outcomes was highlighted at the UN sessions by the presence of CEOs and sustainability officers from around the world, and the vital role of investors and the capital markets was reflected by our presence and contribution. In addition to representing your interests at the UN event, Calvert has contributed to the understanding of the role that corporations and investors play in driving social and environmental conditions through our most recent research, “The Role of the Corporation in Society”, available to you on our website, (see http://www.calvert.com/perspective/governance/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Despite the fact that the past year has not brought the financial returns that you or I would have wished for as investors, I believe that when we look back on 2015 several years from now we are likely to see it as a transformative year in terms of our economic and social systems. Individuals and organizations of all types — corporate, government, NGO, religious — are coming together due to the realization that we need a more sustainable and just system to serve the needs of all stakeholders. As a shareholder of Calvert Funds, you are very much part of this mission, as together we are a leader and innovator in connecting capital to mission, with the dual purpose of driving competitive investment returns with just and sustainable economic progress.
On behalf of all of us at Calvert Investments, thank you for the confidence you have placed in our management of your funds and the ongoing privilege to serve you. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you as we strive to meet your financial needs while also helping to render the world a better place for all people.
Respectfully,

Performance
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) declined 10.75% since inception, June 19, 2015, through September 30, 2015. The Fund performed nearly in line with its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index (the “Index”), which declined 10.74% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.
Investment Process
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of value stocks of large U.S. companies.
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund is managed using a passive investment strategy with the objective of matching the day-to-day investment performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index as closely as practicable. This is accomplished by investing in all, or virtually all, of the stocks in Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index and holding them in the same proportion. Variations in the Fund’s total return generally reflect the variation in the total return of the Index.
Calvert Investment Management launched the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index on June 19, 2015 based on constituents from the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index. The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund was launched at the same time. The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.
Using the constituents of U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index and the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index are constructed so that when combined in equal parts, they will be approximately equivalent to U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index. Each constituent is ranked on nine factors that determine the growth and value characteristics of the company. The combined growth and value scores are ranked from the company with the highest growth-like characteristics down to that with the lowest growth-like characteristics (and so the highest value-like characteristics). The top 30% of the ranked list are exclusively placed in the growth index and the bottom 30% are placed exclusively in the value index. The middle 40% are divided, by market cap, into both the growth and value indexes on a linear basis. Using the current indexes as examples, roughly 700 companies comprise the core index and the growth and value indexes have approximately 500 constituents each (with overlap of approximately 300 constituents).
Portfolio Strategy
For the period from June 19, 2015 (Fund inception) through September 30, 2015, all sectors posted negative returns, and consequently, all sectors detracted from investment performance. Materials and energy had the worst performances; utilities performed best.
Outlook
Central banks around the globe have engaged in a concurrent, unprecedented effort to keep interest rates low in hopes of boosting economic activity. As a result, risky assets have appeared more attractive to investors and benefited from an expansion in earnings multiples over the last several years. Although valuations are far from extreme levels, they are well above historical long-term averages, making markets more vulnerable to shocks from some of the negative catalysts currently in the global economy. These include continued economic deceleration in China — a scenario that began to unfold in the third quarter of 2015.
We are worried that concurrent quantitative easing (QE) across multiple global economies could be less potent than that implemented in the U.S. after the financial crisis if these efforts effectively cancel each other out. Market enthusiasm for global QE may wane if robust economic recovery doesn’t follow, hindered by underlying structural economic and fiscal challenges in many economies, including Europe and Japan.

In our view, the probability of a hard economic landing for China is increasing. If this process occurs in a disorderly fashion, it may have a significant negative impact on both market sentiment and the global economy since China is the world’s second-largest economy and has a meaningful impact on corporate earnings streams globally.
We believe the U.S. economy can continue to grow, although the tough first quarter of 2015 caused by severe weather will have a negative impact on growth numbers for the year. The positive impact of lower oil prices should provide additional support to the economy. Despite our positive outlook on the U.S. economy in the medium-to-long run, we continue to be concerned about potential market jitters in the short term given recent data indicating softness globally. Large-cap stocks with relatively high percentages of profits exposed to foreign markets will most likely be more volatile in the next 12-month period as European and Asian economies continue to work through challenging growth environments, soft demand, and the impacts of a high dollar.

All performance data shown in the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if
any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data, including most recent month-end, visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.71%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in this mutual fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by the fund’s investors during the period. The actual and hypothetical information presented in the examples is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015).
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.
The Fund charges an annual low balance account fee of $15 to those shareholders whose regular account balance is less than $5,000 ($1,000 for IRA accounts). If the low balance fee applies to your account, you should subtract the fee from the ending account value in the chart below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expense ratios shown in the Financial Highlights represent the actual expenses incurred for the fiscal period. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index (the “Fund”), a series of The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (formerly Calvert Social Index Series, Inc.), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. is comprised of three separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946).
The Fund commenced operations on June 19, 2015. The Fund currently offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $100,000. The $100,000 minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived in certain other instances where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries, foundations, and endowments that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The 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.
The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.
Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.
The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. Transfers in and/or out of levels are determined based on the fair value of such securities at the end of the year. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
22 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
valued at their fair value taking these events into account and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the Fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.
At September 30, 2015, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The 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. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 23
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the 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.

The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Net Assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales.
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $25,000 was paid in connection with the uncommitted facility. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2015.
For the year ended September 30, 2015, borrowing information by the Fund under the agreement was as follows: |
| | | |
Average Daily Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Maximum Amount Borrowed | Month of Maximum Amount Borrowed |
$954 | 1.39% | $28,012 | September 2015 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At a special meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) held on November 24, 2015, the Board approved the recommendation made by Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. (“CIAS”) to standardize and rationalize the administrative fee payable by the Calvert Funds at 12 basis points for all series and all share classes of the Calvert Funds. The change is being implemented in two phases. First, CIAS will voluntarily waive the amount of the existing administrative fee above 12 basis points for the period from December 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016. Second, CIAS and the Fund have entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that will establish a 12 basis point administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. In the case of any series or share class that currently pays an administrative fee to CIAS that is less than 12 basis points, CIAS has contractually agreed to waive the difference between that lower administrative fee and the 12 basis point fee until January 31, 2018.
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2015, no other subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date -values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements may be used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a
30 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)
percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio—how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund’s website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
Basis for Board’s Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
At a meeting held on March 3, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between Calvert Social Index Series, Inc. (now known as Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.) and the Advisor, that would add the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”) to the Advisory Agreement.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. At meetings held on February 10, 2015 and March 3, 2015, the disinterested Directors reviewed materials provided by the Advisor regarding various services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel who would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Fund and performance information for a comparable index fund managed by the Advisor; the anticipated profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s projected growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board took into account information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor, as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board considered the Advisor’s proposed management style and the performance of the Calvert Social Index Fund (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund), which is designed to track the Calvert Social Index (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index), a universe that measures the investment return of large-cap U.S. based companies that meet Calvert’s responsible investing criteria. The Board considered that the Fund will utilize the large-cap universe already defined by the Calvert Social Index to create an individual index of securities that embodies the investment principles the Advisor proposed to use in managing the Fund, as well as the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board also took into account the responsible
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31
investing-related research and analysis to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.
In considering the management style and investment strategies that the Advisor proposed to use in managing the Fund, the Board of Directors took into consideration the performance of the Calvert Social Index Fund (now known as the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund) and the Calvert Social Index, which would form the basis of the Fund’s investment universe. The Board noted that the Fund will employ a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index (the “Index”), a newly-created index that measures the performance of those companies that meet the Advisor’s responsible investment principles and that are selected from the universe of companies included in the S-Network U.S. Large Cap 1000 Index. In addition, the Board took into consideration certain differences between how the Advisor proposes to manage the Fund and how it manages the Calvert Social Index Fund, as well as the impact these differences were expected to have on the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and that the Advisor’s proposed investment strategies were appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objective.
In considering the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s estimated total expenses for its Class A shares, which included advisory and administrative fees, were within the range of total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor, described in the materials provided to the Board. The Board took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses for a specified period of time following the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s estimated expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the projected size of the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor would be providing shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they would receive compensation. The Board also took into account whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses for a specified period of time following the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Board also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ anticipated level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s projected size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Conclusions
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies; (c) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Advisor’s proposed investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objective; and (e) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee is reasonable in view of the quality of services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

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

controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c) (7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
