Dear Fellow Shareowners and Friends,
Forty years ago, Calvert Investments was founded on the belief that investment capital, properly stewarded, could improve the world for its less powerful inhabitants and improve environmental sustainability, while producing reasonable investment returns. Calvert was one of the first investment advisers to introduce the responsible investment concept, and through many years of innovation and research (supported by you, our shareholders), we have developed this philosophy to now provide even greater shareholder engagement and impact.
Corporations throughout the world, big and small, have an ever increasing role in determining social and environmental outcomes for every living being, today and into the future. The power of corporations, garnered through global influence, human capital and financial strength, especially relative to our other institutions, has been steadily increasing for decades (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/research/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Investors recognize the impact of corporations on society, and more and more are making investment decisions based on their assessments of a company’s effect on environmental and social outcomes. Companies able to operate their business in a perceived sustainable manner, promoting, environmental and social justice stand to benefit; while those corporate laggards, that fail to embrace these new responsibilities, will falter.
Reliable information is critical in ensuring that shareholders are able to make informed assessments regarding a corporation’s sustainability profile. Key performance metrics and data (a “sustainability information system”) that indicates how a company is performing regarding environmental and social impacts, is integral to making informed responsible investment decisions. Through partnerships with world class educational institutions and forward thinking business partners, Calvert is developing valuable research methodologies and metrics to assess the quality of data inputs and results, such that we are able to assess companies’ impacts. Are we completely there yet? No, but as data becomes more transparent and consistent, driven, in part by investor demands and regulatory authorities, we will get there, such that we and other market participants can make better informed investment and purchase decisions. For example, key data that measures “true” intrinsic and extrinsic product costs, including indirect environmental and social impacts could be relevant to investors when making corporate comparisons regarding risk and profitability, and also of great interest to consumers making product purchase decisions.
Calvert is participating in the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Investment Advisory Group, which is working to move the disclosure of ESG metrics forward through corporate SEC filings (http://www.sasb.org/). Calvert is also working to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the SASB standards (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/unsdg-faq), in order to better evaluate the progress of any public corporation on its path towards global sustainability.
Also, involved in this effort are millions of individuals and small organizations throughout the world who are adding to this mosaic of information through their local and specialized efforts and services. They often have access to pockets of information that are not publically available or disseminated, and thereby not available to the financial data service companies. Our myriad and long running engagements with NGOs and corporations provide critical insight to our analysts, driving the enhancement of our information infrastructure forward, as they research potential investments for your portfolios and design shareholder activist agendas.
ESG data about corporate behavior provides a useful baseline, but takes on additional meaning as the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide our interpretation of the data, acting as our “responsibility compass” (http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles). In addition to providing a context consistent with Calvert’s mission, our Principles lead us to areas where additional, fundamental research is needed to develop a real understanding of corporate impact on society and the environment. In our complex, globalized and rapidly evolving world, the Principles allow us to contextualize information, whereas a rules based system, or an exclusive reliance on data from companies may miss valuable situational and circumstantial inference, as evidenced in the issues surrounding Standing Rock and the role of the corporation, Energy Transfer Partners. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is striving to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing their sacred land and threatening water contamination (see our resolution in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/climate-and-environment/calvert-releases-statement-in-support-of-standing-rock-sioux-nation).

The concerns surrounding social license and indigenous peoples’ rights are complex and do not lend themselves easily to objective quantification methods employed by the traditional financial data sources. That is why the fundamental overlay performed by the Calvert research analysts is so essential to our effective responsible investing process.
While effecting change through thoughtful ESG capital allocations is important, direct impact can be made through shareholder activism, or more specifically advocacy. Calvert’s shareholder advocacy process (28 resolutions last year) has been effective in influencing corporate behavior and provides another avenue for influencing valuable societal and environmental outcomes (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/2016-proxy-season-brings-opportunity-to-accelerate-corporate-sustainability-progress).
Calvert’s voice reflects and respects diversity of thought and is often used to protect the interests of those most in need, and to look out for future generations. We thank you, our shareholders, friends and partners in this mission, for a good start. We promise that our work will never be done and the next forty years will reflect the increasing imperative to work vigorously to produce competitive returns for you and to use our power to forge a better today and future for our society. Often this requires Calvert to go where other investment firms have not, and to speak out and act when others do not.
Thank you, as always, for the incredible privilege to serve your needs through the Calvert Funds.
Respectfully,
John Streur

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION |

Lise Bernhard Director, Investment Operations and Indexing |
Market Review
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.43% and the Russell 1000 Index rose 14.93% while the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.52% and 16.78%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 15.47%, with the Russell 2000 Value Index rising 18.81% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rising 12.12%.
The United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised interest rates only one time during the period. This was less than many observers had expected. Long-term government bond yields ended the period lower than where they began in nearly every major economy. The Japanese Yen generally strengthened and the British pound weakened over the period, with the U.S. dollar remaining relatively stable vs. the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Commodity prices fluctuated but most ended near their starting point, except for the price of gold increasing to over $1,300/oz., as of September 30, 2016.
The strong stock returns masked volatility which occurred during the twelve months. Stocks rallied to end 2015, then struggled in the first quarter of 2016, as investors became concerned about near-term economic growth. From April - September 2016, global stocks rallied as central banks kept interest rates low and economic data was generally positive.
The U.S. monthly jobs reports showed more new jobs created in June and July than in any previous month during 2016. The housing and consumer recovery continued to pick up steam. OPEC announced its first production cut in eight years in September. However, market reaction was muted as any negative effects are likely to be mitigated by U.S. producers’ ability to step in and fill outstanding demand. Inflation remained low, contributing to the decision by the Fed in September to maintain its steady-state policy, while indicating an increased probability of a December rate hike.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Index”), which measures the investment returns 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
All constituents for the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index are selected based on their ESG profile and meet the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investing.
The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 12.68% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index, which returned 13.37% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, within the Index and the Fund, the telecommunication services sector was the best performer while the real estate sector was the poorest. Real Estate is a new sector, created from companies reclassified out of the Financials sector. All sectors except real estate generated positive returns. The largest contributors to investment performance were in the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors and the largest detractors were the financials and energy sectors.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We remain constructive on the U.S. economy over the medium-to-long run and believe U.S. stocks can continue to post solid performance, although probably not as robust as what we’ve experienced in recent years. While valuations of U.S. equities appear stretched based on historical standards, the positive economic environment in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world should support elevated valuation levels. Many international economies continue to be hindered by underlying structural and economic fiscal challenges, including Europe and Japan.
In the near-term, equity markets face several potential headwinds. The U.S. economy is in solid shape and benefiting from improved visibility into growth, but uncertainty around the outcome of the presidential election, the Fed’s anticipated December interest-rate hike, and political decisions in other parts of Europe post-Brexit could lead to increased volatility. However, accommodative monetary policy by central banks
around the world should limit the downside.

Europe may experience a bit of a relief rally, benefiting from continued easing by the ECB and modest improvements in economic data, but structural problems remain.
As we anticipated, the impact of Brexit on the global economy and the reaction by markets thus far has been relatively muted, but we are starting to see some implications in the UK with the pound declining and inflation picking-up. The potential for geopolitical turmoil in a number of different European countries is also still a risk that we continue to monitor.
While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, their injection of stimulus is starting to flow through to the real economy, easing concerns about a hard economic landing and providing support for the global economy, especially emerging markets.

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 0.74%. 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, 2016 to September 30, 2016).
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 may charge 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.
ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/1/16 | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 9/30/16 | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 4/1/16 - 9/30/16 | |

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | 0.29% | $1,000.00 | $1,023.55 | $1.47 |
* 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 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expense ratios shown in the Financial Highlights represent the actual expenses incurred for the fiscal year. |

The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of stock, of which 250,000,000 shares have been allocated to the Fund, with a par value of each share at one cent ($0.01).
The Fund is diversified and employs a passive management strategy designed to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index. The operations of each series of the Corporation, including the Fund, 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 generally offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, will be charged a contingent 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 contingent 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, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business, that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares to their clients. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 35
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:
Common stock securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value these securities each business day. The third party fair value pricing service takes into account many factors, including, but not limited to, movements in U.S. securities markets and changes in futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred after the close of the principal foreign market, to determine a fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Such securities 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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. Securities which were fair valued at September 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the 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.

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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: 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 common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
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.
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 B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 37
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual Fund operating expenses through January 31, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.54%, 1.29%, 0.19%, and 0.29% for Class A, C, I, and Y, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the period October 1, 2015 to January 31, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.15% for Class A, C and Y and 0.10% for Class I. CIAS and the Fund entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. CIAS voluntarily waived 0.03% (the amount of the administrative fee above 0.12%) for Class A, C and Y shares of the Fund for the period from December 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016. CIAS has also contractually agreed to waive 0.02% for Class I shares of the Fund (the difference between the previous administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018. During the year ended September 30, 2016, CIAS voluntarily waived $17,356.
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 0.25% 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 0.25% and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
CID received $105,132 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2016.
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 $47,681 for the year ended September 30, 2016. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $52,000 plus a meeting fee of up to $3,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of $6,000 annually may be paid to the Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Board Chair and the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.
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 $402,098,473 and $179,430,050, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2016 | 2015 | |||||
Ordinary income | $9,474,108 | $3,456,144 | |||||
Long-term capital gains | 35,021,067 | 10,199,646 | |||||
Total | $44,495,175 | $13,655,790 |
38 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
As of September 30, 2016, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $115,371,630 | ||
Unrealized (depreciation) | (16,453,125) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $98,918,505 | ||
Undistributed ordinary income | $8,696,777 | ||
Undistributed long-term capital gain | $17,886,804 | ||
Other temporary differences | ($17,077 | ) | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $703,862,769 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, deferred Directors’ fees and cost basis adjustments.
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 return of capital distributions and distributions redesignations.
Undistributed net investment income | ($179,412 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 179,412 |
NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The total value of securities on loan was $10,774,363 as of September 30, 2016.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2016:

NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 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, 2016.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, 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 |
$49,103 | 1.47% | $3,103,998 | December 2015 |
NOTE F — OTHER MATTERS
On October 18, 2016, Calvert announced that it had determined that certain fees paid to third-party financial intermediaries were incorrectly allocated for payment by, and paid by, the Calvert Funds. Specifically, for periods prior to January 1, 2015, the Calvert Funds paid fees under certain intermediary agreements that were primarily for distribution-related services and therefore should have been paid by Calvert out of Calvert’s own assets or by the Funds under a Rule 12b-1 plan. The matter was self-reported to the SEC in 2016. Calvert is in the process of determining the economic impact of misallocated fees on the affected Funds and their shareholders, and intends to develop a plan to reimburse shareholders following that determination.
NOTE G — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 20, 2016, Calvert and Calvert’s indirect parent company, Ameritas Holding Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”), a newly-formed subsidiary of Eaton Vance, to operate as Calvert Research and Management (“New Calvert”), and other parties, pursuant to which New Calvert has agreed to acquire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the business assets of Calvert (the “Transaction”). Completion of the Transaction is subject to the approval by the shareholders of Calvert Funds of new investment advisory agreements with New Calvert, among other conditions, and is currently expected to occur by the end of 2016 or early 2017.
A proxy statement containing detailed information regarding several proposals was mailed to shareholders of record in November 2016. The shareholder meeting is expected to be held on or about December 16, 2016.
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2016, 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, 2016, the Fund considers 100.0% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as qualified dividend income and 98.6% as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund also considers $35,021,067 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.

Dear Fellow Shareowners and Friends,
Forty years ago, Calvert Investments was founded on the belief that investment capital, properly stewarded, could improve the world for its less powerful inhabitants and improve environmental sustainability, while producing reasonable investment returns. Calvert was one of the first investment advisers to introduce the responsible investment concept, and through many years of innovation and research (supported by you, our shareholders), we have developed this philosophy to now provide even greater shareholder engagement and impact.
Corporations throughout the world, big and small, have an ever increasing role in determining social and environmental outcomes for every living being, today and into the future. The power of corporations, garnered through global influence, human capital and financial strength, especially relative to our other institutions, has been steadily increasing for decades (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/research/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Investors recognize the impact of corporations on society, and more and more are making investment decisions based on their assessments of a company’s effect on environmental and social outcomes. Companies able to operate their business in a perceived sustainable manner, promoting, environmental and social justice stand to benefit; while those corporate laggards, that fail to embrace these new responsibilities, will falter.
Reliable information is critical in ensuring that shareholders are able to make informed assessments regarding a corporation’s sustainability profile. Key performance metrics and data (a “sustainability information system”) that indicates how a company is performing regarding environmental and social impacts, is integral to making informed responsible investment decisions. Through partnerships with world class educational institutions and forward thinking business partners, Calvert is developing valuable research methodologies and metrics to assess the quality of data inputs and results, such that we are able to assess companies’ impacts. Are we completely there yet? No, but as data becomes more transparent and consistent, driven, in part by investor demands and regulatory authorities, we will get there, such that we and other market participants can make better informed investment and purchase decisions. For example, key data that measures “true” intrinsic and extrinsic product costs, including indirect environmental and social impacts could be relevant to investors when making corporate comparisons regarding risk and profitability, and also of great interest to consumers making product purchase decisions.
Calvert is participating in the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Investment Advisory Group, which is working to move the disclosure of ESG metrics forward through corporate SEC filings (http://www.sasb.org/). Calvert is also working to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the SASB standards (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/unsdg-faq), in order to better evaluate the progress of any public corporation on its path towards global sustainability.
Also, involved in this effort are millions of individuals and small organizations throughout the world who are adding to this mosaic of information through their local and specialized efforts and services. They often have access to pockets of information that are not publically available or disseminated, and thereby not available to the financial data service companies. Our myriad and long running engagements with NGOs and corporations provide critical insight to our analysts, driving the enhancement of our information infrastructure forward, as they research potential investments for your portfolios and design shareholder activist agendas.
ESG data about corporate behavior provides a useful baseline, but takes on additional meaning as the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide our interpretation of the data, acting as our “responsibility compass” (http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles). In addition to providing a context consistent with Calvert’s mission, our Principles lead us to areas where additional, fundamental research is needed to develop a real understanding of corporate impact on society and the environment. In our complex, globalized and rapidly evolving world, the Principles allow us to contextualize information, whereas a rules based system, or an exclusive reliance on data from companies may miss valuable situational and circumstantial inference, as evidenced in the issues surrounding Standing Rock and the role of the corporation, Energy Transfer Partners. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is striving to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing their sacred land and threatening water contamination (see our resolution in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/climate-and-environment/calvert-releases-statement-in-support-of-standing-rock-sioux-nation).

The concerns surrounding social license and indigenous peoples’ rights are complex and do not lend themselves easily to objective quantification methods employed by the traditional financial data sources. That is why the fundamental overlay performed by the Calvert research analysts is so essential to our effective responsible investing process.
While effecting change through thoughtful ESG capital allocations is important, direct impact can be made through shareholder activism, or more specifically advocacy. Calvert’s shareholder advocacy process (28 resolutions last year) has been effective in influencing corporate behavior and provides another avenue for influencing valuable societal and environmental outcomes (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/2016-proxy-season-brings-opportunity-to-accelerate-corporate-sustainability-progress).
Calvert’s voice reflects and respects diversity of thought and is often used to protect the interests of those most in need, and to look out for future generations. We thank you, our shareholders, friends and partners in this mission, for a good start.

Market Review
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.43% and the Russell 1000 Index rose 14.93% while the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.52% and 16.78%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 15.47%, with the Russell 2000 Value Index rising 18.81% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rising 12.12%.
The United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised interest rates only one time during the period. This was less than many observers had expected. Long-term government bond yields ended the period lower than where they began in nearly every major economy. The Japanese Yen generally strengthened and the British pound weakened over the period, with the U.S. dollar remaining relatively stable vs. the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Commodity prices fluctuated but most ended near their starting point, except for the price of gold increasing to over $1,300/oz., as of September 30, 2016.
The strong stock returns masked volatility which occurred during the twelve months. Stocks rallied to end 2015, then struggled in the first quarter of 2016, as investors became concerned about near-term economic growth. From April - September 2016, global stocks rallied as central banks kept interest rates low and economic data was generally positive.
The U.S. monthly jobs reports showed more new jobs created in June and July than in any previous month during 2016. The housing and consumer recovery continued to pick up steam. OPEC announced its first production cut in eight years in September. However, market reaction was muted as any negative effects are likely to be mitigated by U.S. producers’ ability to step in and fill outstanding demand. Inflation remained low, contributing to the decision by the Fed in September to maintain its steady-state policy, while indicating an increased probability of a December rate hike.
Investment Strategy and Technique
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 (the “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.
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).
The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.

Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 11.63% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index, which returned 12.33% for the period. The difference in returns is primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, within the Index and the Fund, the utilities sector was the best performer while the real estate sector was the poorest. Real Estate is a new sector, created from companies reclassified out of the Financials sector. All sectors except real estate generated positive returns. The largest contributors to investment performance were in the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors but, along with energy, these sectors also held the largest detractors.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We remain constructive on the U.S. economy over the medium-to-long run and believe U.S. stocks can continue to post solid performance, although probably not as robust as what we’ve experienced in recent years. While valuations of U.S. equities appear stretched based on historical standards, the positive economic environment in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world should support elevated valuation levels. Many international economies continue to be hindered by
underlying structural and economic fiscal challenges, including Europe and Japan.

In the near-term, equity markets face several potential headwinds. The U.S. economy is in solid shape and benefiting from improved visibility into growth, but uncertainty around the outcome of the presidential election, the Fed’s anticipated December interest-rate hike, and political decisions in otherparts of Europe post-Brexit could lead to increased volatility. However, accommodative monetary policy by central banks around the world should limit the downside.
Europe may experience a bit of a relief rally, benefiting from continued easing by the ECB and modest improvements in economic data, but structural problems remain. As we anticipated, the impact of Brexit on the global economy and the reaction by markets thus far has been relatively muted, but we are starting to see some implications in the UK with the pound declining and inflation picking-up. The potential for

geopolitical turmoil in a number of different European countries is also still a risk that we continue to monitor.
While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, their injection of stimulus is starting to flow through to the real economy, easing concerns about a hard economic landing and providing support for the global economy, especially emerging markets.

The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception for funds without 10-year records. 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 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.

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, 2016 to September 30, 2016).
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 may charge 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation pursuant to Articles of Incorporation filed on April 11, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates five (5) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights for the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of stock, of which 250,000,000 shares have been allocated to the Fund, with a par value of each share at one cent ($0.01).
The Fund is diversified and employs a passive management strategy designed to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Growth Responsible Index. The operations of each series of the Corporation, including the Fund, 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 generally offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, will be charged a contingent 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 contingent 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, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business, that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares to their clients. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31
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:
Common stock securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value these securities each business day. The third party fair value pricing service takes into account many factors, including, but not limited to, movements in U.S. securities markets and changes in futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred after the close of the principal foreign market, to determine a fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Such securities 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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. Securities which were fair valued at September 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the 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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

32 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: 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 common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
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.
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.

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 0.15%, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.57%, 1.32%, 0.22%, and 0.32% for Class A, C, I, and Y, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the period October 1, 2015 to January 31, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.00%. CIAS and the Fund entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.12% for all classes of the Fund (the difference between the previous administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018.
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 0.50% 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 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33
CID received $6,165 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2016.
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 $1,004 for the year ended September 30, 2016. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $52,000 plus a meeting fee of up to $3,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of $6,000 annually may be paid to the Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Board Chair and the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.
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 $54,546,783 and $17,225,894, respectively.
The Fund may purchase securities from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2016, such purchase transactions were $200,168.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.
Capital Loss Carryforwards | |||
NO EXPIRATION DATE | |||
Short-term | ($118 | ) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2016 | 2015 | |||
Ordinary income | $123,635 | $— | |||
Total | $123,635 | $— |
As of September 30, 2016, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $4,356,719 | ||
Unrealized (depreciation) | (1,229,232) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,127,487 | ||
Undistributed ordinary income | $340,583 | ||
Capital loss carryforward | ($118 | ) | |
Late Year Ordinary and Post October Capital Loss Deferrals | ($457,451 | ) | |
Other temporary differences | ($1,016 | ) | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $43,159,755 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, deferred Directors’ fees and return of capital.
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
34 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
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 distribution re-designations.
Undistributed net investment income | ($1,780 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 1,780 |
NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The total value of securities on loan was $537,014 as of September 30, 2016.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2016:

Overnight and Continuous | <30 days | Between 30 & 90 days | >90 days | Total | |||||

Common Stocks | $551,123 | $— | $— | $— | $551,123 | ||||
Amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions | $551,123 |
NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 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, 2016.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, 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 |
$202 | 1.63% | $73,943 | March 2016 |
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 20, 2016, Calvert and Calvert’s indirect parent company, Ameritas Holding Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”), a newly-formed subsidiary of Eaton Vance, to operate as Calvert Research and Management (“New Calvert”), and other parties, pursuant to which New Calvert has agreed to acquire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the business assets of Calvert (the “Transaction”).

Dear Fellow Shareowners and Friends,
Forty years ago, Calvert Investments was founded on the belief that investment capital, properly stewarded, could improve the world for its less powerful inhabitants and improve environmental sustainability, while producing reasonable investment returns. Calvert was one of the first investment advisers to introduce the responsible investment concept, and through many years of innovation and research (supported by you, our shareholders), we have developed this philosophy to now provide even greater shareholder engagement and impact.
Corporations throughout the world, big and small, have an ever increasing role in determining social and environmental outcomes for every living being, today and into the future. The power of corporations, garnered through global influence, human capital and financial strength, especially relative to our other institutions, has been steadily increasing for decades (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/research/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Investors recognize the impact of corporations on society, and more and more are making investment decisions based on their assessments of a company’s effect on environmental and social outcomes. Companies able to operate their business in a perceived sustainable manner, promoting, environmental and social justice stand to benefit; while those corporate laggards, that fail to embrace these new responsibilities, will falter.
Reliable information is critical in ensuring that shareholders are able to make informed assessments regarding a corporation’s sustainability profile. Key performance metrics and data (a “sustainability information system”) that indicates how a company is performing regarding environmental and social impacts, is integral to making informed responsible investment decisions. Through partnerships with world class educational institutions and forward thinking business partners, Calvert is developing valuable research methodologies and metrics to assess the quality of data inputs and results, such that we are able to assess companies’ impacts. Are we completely there yet? No, but as data becomes more transparent and consistent, driven, in part by investor demands and regulatory authorities, we will get there, such that we and other market participants can make better informed investment and purchase decisions. For example, key data that measures “true” intrinsic and extrinsic product costs, including indirect environmental and social impacts could be relevant to investors when making corporate comparisons regarding risk and profitability, and also of great interest to consumers making product purchase decisions.
Calvert is participating in the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Investment Advisory Group, which is working to move the disclosure of ESG metrics forward through corporate SEC filings (http://www.sasb.org/). Calvert is also working to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the SASB standards (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/unsdg-faq), in order to better evaluate the progress of any public corporation on its path towards global sustainability.
Also, involved in this effort are millions of individuals and small organizations throughout the world who are adding to this mosaic of information through their local and specialized efforts and services. They often have access to pockets of information that are not publically available or disseminated, and thereby not available to the financial data service companies. Our myriad and long running engagements with NGOs and corporations provide critical insight to our analysts, driving the enhancement of our information infrastructure forward, as they research potential investments for your portfolios and design shareholder activist agendas.
ESG data about corporate behavior provides a useful baseline, but takes on additional meaning as the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide our interpretation of the data, acting as our “responsibility compass” (http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles). In addition to providing a context consistent with Calvert’s mission, our Principles lead us to areas where additional, fundamental research is needed to develop a real understanding of corporate impact on society and the environment. In our complex, globalized and rapidly evolving world, the Principles allow us to contextualize information, whereas a rules based system, or an exclusive reliance on data from companies may miss valuable situational and circumstantial inference, as evidenced in the issues surrounding Standing Rock and the role of the corporation, Energy Transfer Partners. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is striving to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing their sacred land and threatening water contamination (see our resolution in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/climate-and-environment/calvert-releases-statement-in-support-of-standing-rock-sioux-nation).
4 calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED)
The concerns surrounding social license and indigenous peoples’ rights are complex and do not lend themselves easily to objective quantification methods employed by the traditional financial data sources. That is why the fundamental overlay performed by the Calvert research analysts is so essential to our effective responsible investing process.
While effecting change through thoughtful ESG capital allocations is important, direct impact can be made through shareholder activism, or more specifically advocacy. Calvert’s shareholder advocacy process (28 resolutions last year) has been effective in influencing corporate behavior and provides another avenue for influencing valuable societal and environmental outcomes (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/2016-proxy-season-brings-opportunity-to-accelerate-corporate-sustainability-progress).
Calvert’s voice reflects and respects diversity of thought and is often used to protect the interests of those most in need, and to look out for future generations. We thank you, our shareholders, friends and partners in this mission, for a good start. We promise that our work will never be done and the next forty years will reflect the increasing imperative to work vigorously to produce competitive returns for you and to use our power to forge a better today and future for our society. Often this requires Calvert to go where other investment firms have not, and to speak out and act when others do not.
Thank you, as always, for the incredible privilege to serve your needs through the Calvert Funds.
Respectfully,
John Streur
September 2016

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION |
Laurie Webster, CFA V.P. Investment Operations and Indexing | Dale R. Stout, CFA Index Portfolio Manager and Senior Analyst | ||
Lise Bernhard Director, Investment Operations and Indexing |
Market Review
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.43% and the Russell 1000 Index rose 14.93% while the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.52% and 16.78%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 15.47%, with the Russell 2000 Value Index rising 18.81% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rising 12.12%.
The United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised interest rates only one time during the period. This was less than many observers had expected. Long-term government bond yields ended the period lower than where they began in nearly every major economy. The Japanese Yen generally strengthened and the British pound weakened over the period, with the U.S. dollar remaining relatively stable vs. the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Commodity prices fluctuated but most ended near their starting point, except for the price of gold increasing to over $1,300/oz., as of September 30, 2016.
The strong stock returns masked volatility which occurred during the twelve months. Stocks rallied to end 2015, then struggled in the first quarter of 2016, as investors became concerned about near-term economic growth. From April - September 2016, global stocks rallied, as central banks kept interest rates low and economic data was generally positive.
The U.S. monthly jobs reports showed more new jobs created in June and July than in any previous month during 2016. The housing and consumer recovery continued to pick up steam. OPEC announced its first production cut in eight years in September. However, market reaction was muted as any negative effects are likely to be mitigated by U.S. producers’ ability to step in and fill outstanding demand. Inflation remained low, contributing to the decision by the Fed in September to maintain its steady-state policy, while indicating an increased probability of a December rate hike.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index (the “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.
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).

Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
The Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 13.24% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index, which returned 14.29% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, within the Index and the Fund, the information technology sector was the best performer while the real estate sector was the poorest. Real Estate is a new sector, created from companies reclassified out of the Financials sector. All sectors except real estate generated positive returns. The largest contributors to investment performance were in the consumer staples, energy, telecommunication services and information technology and health care sectors but along with energy, the financials sector held the largest detractors.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We remain constructive on the U.S. economy over the medium-to-long run and believe U.S. stocks can continue to post solid performance, although probably not as robust as what we’ve experienced in recent years. While valuations of U.S. equities appear stretched based on historical standards, the positive economic environment in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world should support elevated valuation levels.
Many international economies continue to be hindered by

underlying structural and economic fiscal challenges, including Europe and Japan. In the near-term, equity markets face several potential headwinds. The U.S. economy is in solid shape and benefiting from improved visibility into growth, but uncertainty around the outcome of the presidential election, the Fed’s anticipated December interest-rate hike, and political decisions in other parts of Europe post-Brexit could lead to increased volatility. However, accommodative monetary policy by central banks around the world should limit the downside.
Europe may experience a bit of a relief rally, benefiting from continued easing by the ECB and modest improvements in economic data, but structural problems remain. As we anticipated, the impact of Brexit on the global economy and the reaction by markets thus far has been relatively muted, but

we are starting to see some implications in the UK with the pound declining and inflation picking-up.
The potential for geopolitical turmoil in a number of different European countries is also still a risk that we continue to monitor.
While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, their injection of stimulus is starting to flow through to the real economy, easing concerns about a hard economic landing and providing support for the global
economy, especially emerging markets.

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, 2016 to September 30, 2016).
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 may charge 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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, 2016 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 audits provide 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 Value Responsible Index Fund as of September 30, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation pursuant to Articles of Incorporation filed on April 11, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates five (5) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights for the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of stock, of which 250,000,000 shares have been allocated to the Fund, with a par value of each share at one cent ($0.01).
The Fund is diversified and employs a passive management strategy designed to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Value Responsible Index. The operations of each series of the Corporation, including the Fund, 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 generally offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, will be charged a contingent 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 contingent 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, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business, that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares to their clients. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31
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:
Common stock securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value these securities each business day. The third party fair value pricing service takes into account many factors, including, but not limited to, movements in U.S. securities markets and changes in futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred after the close of the principal foreign market, to determine a fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Such securities 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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. Securities which were fair valued at September 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the 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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the 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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: 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 common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
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.
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.

CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.12% for all classes of the Fund (the difference between the previous administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018.
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.

Additional fees of $6,000 annually may be paid to the Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Board Chair and the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.
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 $130,686,417 and $40,793,945, respectively.
The Fund may purchase securities from or sell to other funds managed by the Advisor. These interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2016, such sales transactions were $200,168.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2016 | 2015 | |||||
Ordinary income | $401,069 | $— | |||||
Total | $401,069 | $— |
As of September 30, 2016, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $8,378,396 | ||
Unrealized (depreciation) | (1,905,442) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $6,472,954 | ||
Undistributed ordinary income | $1,739,895 | ||
Other temporary differences | ($2,299 | ) | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $97,830,982 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, deferred Directors’ fees and return of capital.
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 return of capital distributions.
Undistributed net investment income | ($15,005 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 15,005 |
NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State

Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The total value of securities on loan was $1,034,610 as of September 30, 2016.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2016:

Dear Fellow Shareowners and Friends,
Forty years ago, Calvert Investments was founded on the belief that investment capital, properly stewarded, could improve the world for its less powerful inhabitants and improve environmental sustainability, while producing reasonable investment returns. Calvert was one of the first investment advisers to introduce the responsible investment concept, and through many years of innovation and research (supported by you, our shareholders), we have developed this philosophy to now provide even greater shareholder engagement and impact.
Corporations throughout the world, big and small, have an ever increasing role in determining social and environmental outcomes for every living being, today and into the future. The power of corporations, garnered through global influence, human capital and financial strength, especially relative to our other institutions, has been steadily increasing for decades (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/research/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Investors recognize the impact of corporations on society, and more and more are making investment decisions based on their assessments of a company’s effect on environmental and social outcomes. Companies able to operate their business in a perceived sustainable manner, promoting, environmental and social justice stand to benefit; while those corporate laggards, that fail to embrace these new responsibilities, will falter.
Reliable information is critical in ensuring that shareholders are able to make informed assessments regarding a corporation’s sustainability profile. Key performance metrics and data (a “sustainability information system”) that indicates how a company is performing regarding environmental and social impacts, is integral to making informed responsible investment decisions. Through partnerships with world class educational institutions and forward thinking business partners, Calvert is developing valuable research methodologies and metrics to assess the quality of data inputs and results, such that we are able to assess companies’ impacts. Are we completely there yet? No, but as data becomes more transparent and consistent, driven, in part by investor demands and regulatory authorities, we will get there, such that we and other market participants can make better informed investment and purchase decisions. For example, key data that measures “true” intrinsic and extrinsic product costs, including indirect environmental and social impacts could be relevant to investors when making corporate comparisons regarding risk and profitability, and also of great interest to consumers making product purchase decisions.
Calvert is participating in the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Investment Advisory Group, which is working to move the disclosure of ESG metrics forward through corporate SEC filings (http://www.sasb.org/). Calvert is also working to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the SASB standards (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/unsdg-faq), in order to better evaluate the progress of any public corporation on its path towards global sustainability.
Also, involved in this effort are millions of individuals and small organizations throughout the world who are adding to this mosaic of information through their local and specialized efforts and services. They often have access to pockets of information that are not publically available or disseminated, and thereby not available to the financial data service companies. Our myriad and long running engagements with NGOs and corporations provide critical insight to our analysts, driving the enhancement of our information infrastructure forward, as they research potential investments for your portfolios and design shareholder activist agendas.
ESG data about corporate behavior provides a useful baseline, but takes on additional meaning as the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide our interpretation of the data, acting as our “responsibility compass” (http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles). In addition to providing a context consistent with Calvert’s mission, our Principles lead us to areas where additional, fundamental research is needed to develop a real understanding of corporate impact on society and the environment. In our complex, globalized and rapidly evolving world, the Principles allow us to contextualize information, whereas a rules based system, or an exclusive reliance on data from companies may miss valuable situational and circumstantial inference, as evidenced in the issues surrounding Standing Rock and the role of the corporation, Energy Transfer Partners. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is striving to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing their sacred land and threatening water contamination (see our resolution in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/climate-and-environment/calvert-releases-statement-in-support-of-standing-rock-sioux-nation).

The concerns surrounding social license and indigenous peoples’ rights are complex and do not lend themselves easily to objective quantification methods employed by the traditional financial data sources. That is why the fundamental overlay performed by the Calvert research analysts is so essential to our effective responsible investing process.
While effecting change through thoughtful ESG capital allocations is important, direct impact can be made through shareholder activism, or more specifically advocacy. Calvert’s shareholder advocacy process (28 resolutions last year) has been effective in influencing corporate behavior and provides another avenue for influencing valuable societal and environmental outcomes (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/2016-proxy-season-brings-opportunity-to-accelerate-corporate-sustainability-progress).
Calvert’s voice reflects and respects diversity of thought and is often used to protect the interests of those most in need, and to look out for future generations. We thank you, our shareholders, friends and partners in this mission, for a good start. We promise that our work will never be done and the next forty years will reflect the increasing imperative to work vigorously to produce competitive returns for you and to use our power to forge a better today and future for our society. Often this requires Calvert to go where other investment firms have not, and to speak out and act when others do not.
Thank you, as always, for the incredible privilege to serve your needs through the Calvert Funds.
Respectfully,
John Streur
September 2016

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION |

Lise Bernhard Director, Investment Operations and Indexing |
Market Review
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.43% and the Russell 1000 Index rose 14.93% while the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.52% and 16.78%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 15.47%, with the Russell 2000 Value Index rising 18.81% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rising 12.12%.
The United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised interest rates only one time during the period. This was less than many observers had expected. Long-term government bond yields ended the period lower than where they began in nearly every major economy. The Japanese yen generally strengthened and the British pound weakened over the period, with the U.S. dollar remaining relatively stable vs. the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Commodity prices fluctuated but most ended near their starting point, except for the price of gold increasing to over $1,300/oz., as of Sept. 30, 2016.
The strong stock returns masked volatility which occurred during the twelve months. Stocks rallied to end 2015, then struggled in the first quarter of 2016, as investors became concerned about near-term economic growth. From April - September 2016, global stocks rallied as central banks kept interest rates low and economic data was generally positive.
The U.S. monthly jobs reports showed more new jobs created in June and July than in any previous month during 2016. The housing and consumer recovery continued to pick up steam. OPEC announced its first production cut in eight years in September. However, market reaction was muted as any negative effects are likely to be mitigated by U.S. producers’ ability to step in and fill outstanding demand. Inflation remained low, contributing to the decision by the Fed in September to maintain its steady-state policy, while indicating an increased probability of a December rate hike.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Index”), which measures the investment return of stocks of U.S. mid-capitalization companies.
The Calvert U.S. Mid 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. Mid 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.
The constituents of the Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index consist of the constituents of approximately the lower 80% of the market capitalization of the Calvert U.S. Large Cap Core Responsible Index.
The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
The Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 6.55% since inception on October 30, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index, which returned 7.39% for the period. The difference in returns was primarily the result of Fund expenses, which the Index does not incur.

Since inception through September 30, 2016, within the Index and the Fund, the utilities sector was the best performer while the real estate sector was the poorest. Real Estate is a new sector, created from companies reclassified out of the Financials sector. Six of the remaining nine sectors generated positive returns. The largest contributors to investment performance were in the energy, utilities and information technology sectors but along with energy, the health care and consumer discretionary sectors held the largest detractors.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We remain constructive on the U.S. economy over the medium-to-long run and believe U.S. stocks can continue to post solid performance, although probably not as robust as what we’ve experienced in recent years. While valuations of U.S. equities appear stretched based on historical standards, the positive economic environment in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world should support elevated valuation levels. Many international economies continue to be hindered by underlying structural and economic fiscal challenges, including Europe and Japan.
In the near-term, equity markets face several potential headwinds. The U.S. economy is in solid shape and benefiting from improved visibility into growth, but uncertainty around the outcome of the presidential election, the Fed’s anticipated December interest-rate hike, and political decisions in other parts of Europe post-Brexit could lead to increased volatility. However, accommodative monetary policy by central banks
around the world should limit the downside.

Europe may experience a bit of a relief rally, benefiting from continued easing by the ECB and modest improvements in economic data, but structural problems remain. As we anticipated, the impact of Brexit on the global economy and the reaction by markets thus far has been relatively muted, but we are starting to see some implications in the UK with the pound declining and inflation picking-up. The potential for geopolitical turmoil in a number of different European countries is also still a risk that we continue to monitor.
While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, their injection of stimulus is starting to flow through to the real economy, easing concerns about a hard economic landing and providing support for the global economy, especially emerging markets.

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 or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). 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 1.79%. 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, 2016 to September 30, 2016).
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 may charge 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.
ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/1/16 | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 9/30/16 | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 4/1/16 - 9/30/16 | |
Class A | ||||

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | 0.57% | $1,000.00 | $1,022.15 | $2.88 |
Class C | ||||

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | 1.32% | $1,000.00 | $1,018.40 | $6.66 |

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | 0.32% | $1,000.00 | $1,023.40 | $1.62 |
* 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 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expense ratios shown in the Financial Highlights represent the actual expenses incurred for the fiscal year. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation pursuant to Articles of Incorporation filed on April 11, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates five (5) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights for the Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of stock, of which 250,000,000 shares have been allocated to the Fund, with a par value of each share at one cent ($0.01).
The Fund is diversified and employs a passive management strategy designed to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Calvert U.S. Mid Cap Core Responsible Index. The operations of each series of the Corporation, including the Fund, 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 October 30, 2015. The Fund generally offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, will be charged a contingent 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 contingent 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, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business, that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares to their clients. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. MID CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33
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:
Common stock securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value these securities each business day. The third party fair value pricing service takes into account many factors, including, but not limited to, movements in U.S. securities markets and changes in futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred after the close of the principal foreign market, to determine a fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Such securities 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.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. Securities which were fair valued at September 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the 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.

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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: 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 common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
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.
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
Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Investments, Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Ameritas Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.15%, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2017. The contractual expense caps are 0.57%, 1.32%, 0.22%, and 0.32% for Class A, C, I, and Y, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. This expense limitation does not limit acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.
Calvert Investment Administrative Services, Inc. ("CIAS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the period October 30, 2015 to January 31, 2016, the administrative fee was 0.00%. CIAS and the Fund entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that established a 0.12% administrative fee for all classes of the Fund commencing on February 1, 2016. CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.12% for all classes of the Fund (the difference between the previous administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018.
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 0.50% 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 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
calvert.com CALVERT U.S. MID CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 35
CID received $5,043 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the period ended September 30, 2016.
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 $565 for the period ended September 30, 2016. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $52,000 plus a meeting fee of up to $3,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of $6,000 annually may be paid to the Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Board Chair and the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $19,279,660 and $3,917,857, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended September 30, 2016 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2016 | ||
Ordinary income | $16,185 | ||
Total | $16,185 |
As of September 30, 2016, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $1,080,311 | ||
Unrealized (depreciation) | (323,995) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $756,316 | ||
Undistributed ordinary income | $314,919 | ||
Other temporary differences | ($340 | ) | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $15,889,227 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales and deferred Trustees’ fees.
NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The total value of securities on loan was $334,607 as of September 30, 2016.

NOTE E — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Calvert Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $30,000 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, 2016.
For the period ended September 30, 2016, 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 |
$50,776 | 1.64% | $8,187,488 | March 2016 |
NOTE F — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 20, 2016, Calvert and Calvert’s indirect parent company, Ameritas Holding Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”), a newly-formed subsidiary of Eaton Vance, to operate as Calvert Research and Management (“New Calvert”), and other parties, pursuant to which New Calvert has agreed to acquire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the business assets of Calvert (the “Transaction”). Completion of the Transaction is subject to the approval by the shareholders of Calvert Funds of new investment advisory agreements with New Calvert, among other conditions, and is currently expected to occur by the end of 2016 or early 2017.
A proxy statement containing detailed information regarding several proposals was mailed to shareholders of record in November 2016. The shareholder meeting is expected to be held on or about December 16, 2016.
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2016, 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, 2016, the Fund considers 43.3% of the ordinary dividends paid during the period as qualified dividend income and 41.1% as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Dear Fellow Shareowners and Friends,
Forty years ago, Calvert Investments was founded on the belief that investment capital, properly stewarded, could improve the world for its less powerful inhabitants and improve environmental sustainability, while producing reasonable investment returns. Calvert was one of the first investment advisers to introduce the responsible investment concept, and through many years of innovation and research (supported by you, our shareholders), we have developed this philosophy to now provide even greater shareholder engagement and impact.
Corporations throughout the world, big and small, have an ever increasing role in determining social and environmental outcomes for every living being, today and into the future. The power of corporations, garnered through global influence, human capital and financial strength, especially relative to our other institutions, has been steadily increasing for decades (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/research/calvert-serafeim-series-report).
Investors recognize the impact of corporations on society, and more and more are making investment decisions based on their assessments of a company’s effect on environmental and social outcomes. Companies able to operate their business in a perceived sustainable manner, promoting, environmental and social justice stand to benefit; while those corporate laggards, that fail to embrace these new responsibilities, will falter.
Reliable information is critical in ensuring that shareholders are able to make informed assessments regarding a corporation’s sustainability profile. Key performance metrics and data (a “sustainability information system”) that indicates how a company is performing regarding environmental and social impacts, is integral to making informed responsible investment decisions. Through partnerships with world class educational institutions and forward thinking business partners, Calvert is developing valuable research methodologies and metrics to assess the quality of data inputs and results, such that we are able to assess companies’ impacts. Are we completely there yet? No, but as data becomes more transparent and consistent, driven, in part by investor demands and regulatory authorities, we will get there, such that we and other market participants can make better informed investment and purchase decisions. For example, key data that measures “true” intrinsic and extrinsic product costs, including indirect environmental and social impacts could be relevant to investors when making corporate comparisons regarding risk and profitability, and also of great interest to consumers making product purchase decisions.
Calvert is participating in the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Investment Advisory Group, which is working to move the disclosure of ESG metrics forward through corporate SEC filings (http://www.sasb.org/). Calvert is also working to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the SASB standards (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/unsdg-faq), in order to better evaluate the progress of any public corporation on its path towards global sustainability.
Also, involved in this effort are millions of individuals and small organizations throughout the world who are adding to this mosaic of information through their local and specialized efforts and services. They often have access to pockets of information that are not publically available or disseminated, and thereby not available to the financial data service companies. Our myriad and long running engagements with NGOs and corporations provide critical insight to our analysts, driving the enhancement of our information infrastructure forward, as they research potential investments for your portfolios and design shareholder activist agendas.
ESG data about corporate behavior provides a useful baseline, but takes on additional meaning as the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide our interpretation of the data, acting as our “responsibility compass” (http://www.calvert.com/approach/how-we-invest/the-calvert-principles). In addition to providing a context consistent with Calvert’s mission, our Principles lead us to areas where additional, fundamental research is needed to develop a real understanding of corporate impact on society and the environment. In our complex, globalized and rapidly evolving world, the Principles allow us to contextualize information, whereas a rules based system, or an exclusive reliance on data from companies may miss valuable situational and circumstantial inference, as evidenced in the issues surrounding Standing Rock and the role of the corporation, Energy Transfer Partners. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is striving to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing their sacred land and threatening water contamination (see our resolution in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/climate-and-environment/calvert-releases-statement-in-support-of-standing-rock-sioux-nation).

The concerns surrounding social license and indigenous peoples’ rights are complex and do not lend themselves easily to objective quantification methods employed by the traditional financial data sources. That is why the fundamental overlay performed by the Calvert research analysts is so essential to our effective responsible investing process.
While effecting change through thoughtful ESG capital allocations is important, direct impact can be made through shareholder activism, or more specifically advocacy. Calvert’s shareholder advocacy process (28 resolutions last year) has been effective in influencing corporate behavior and provides another avenue for influencing valuable societal and environmental outcomes (http://www.calvert.com/perspective/social-impact/2016-proxy-season-brings-opportunity-to-accelerate-corporate-sustainability-progress).
Calvert’s voice reflects and respects diversity of thought and is often used to protect the interests of those most in need, and to look out for future generations. We thank you, our shareholders, friends and partners in this mission, for a good start. We promise that our work will never be done and the next forty years will reflect the increasing imperative to work vigorously to produce competitive returns for you and to use our power to forge a better today and future for our society. Often this requires Calvert to go where other investment firms have not, and to speak out and act when others do not.
Thank you, as always, for the incredible privilege to serve your needs through the Calvert Funds.
Respectfully,
John Streur
September 2016

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION |
Laurie Webster, CFA V.P. Investment Operations and Indexing | Dale R. Stout, CFA Index Portfolio Manager and Senior Analyst | ||
Lise Bernhard Director, Investment Operations and Indexing |
Market Review
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.43% and the Russell 1000 Index rose 14.93% while the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.52% and 16.78%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 15.47%, with the Russell 2000 Value Index rising 18.81% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rising 12.12%.
The United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised interest rates only one time during the period. This was less than many observers had expected. Long-term government bond yields ended the period lower than where they began in nearly every major economy. The Japanese yen generally strengthened and the British pound weakened over the period, with the U.S. dollar remaining relatively stable vs. the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Commodity prices fluctuated but most ended near their starting point, except for the price of gold increasing to over $1,300/oz., as of Sept. 30, 2016.
The strong stock returns masked volatility which occurred during the twelve months. Stocks rallied to end 2015, then struggled in the first quarter of 2016, as investors became concerned about near-term economic growth. From April - September 2016, global stocks rallied as central banks kept interest rates low and economic data was generally positive.
The U.S. monthly jobs reports showed more new jobs created in June and July than in any previous month during 2016. The housing and consumer recovery continued to pick up steam. OPEC announced its first production cut in eight years in September. However, market reaction was muted as any negative effects are likely to be mitigated by U.S. producers’ ability to step in and fill outstanding demand. Inflation remained low, contributing to the decision by the Fed in September to maintain its steady-state policy, while indicating an increased probability of a December rate hike.
Investment Strategy and Technique
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. Responsible Index (the “Index”), which measures the investment return of stocks of large-capitalization companies in developed international markets (excluding the U.S.).
The Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. Responsible Index Fund is managed using a passive investment strategy with the objective of matching the day-to-day investment performance of the Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. 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.
All constituents for the Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. Responsible Index are selected based on their Environmental, Social and Government ESG profile and meet the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investing.
The Index reconstitutes semiannually and is rebalanced quarterly.
Fund Performance Relative to the Benchmark
The Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. Responsible Index Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 0.25% for the period since inception, October 30, 2015, through September 30, 2016. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Calvert Developed Markets ex-U.S. Responsible Index, which returned ‑0.34% for the period. The difference in returns was the result of the Fund’s cash position and foreign exchange impacts, along with Fund expenses and fair value procedures, which an index does not incur.

For the period since inception, within the Index and the Fund, the energy and information technology sectors were the best performers while the financials and consumer discretionary sectors were the poorest. Seven of the eleven sectors generated positive returns (Real Estate is a new sector, created from companies reclassified out of the Financials sector). The largest contributors to investment performance were in the information technology, energy, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors and the largest detractors were in the health care and financials sectors.
Holdings in Canada and Taiwan contributed while holdings in the United Kingdom and Italy detracted. Overall, local performance was negative and currency effects were positive.
Positioning and Market Outlook
We remain constructive on the U.S. economy over the medium-to-long run and believe U.S. stocks can continue to post solid performance, although probably not as robust as what we’ve experienced in recent years. While valuations of U.S. equities appear stretched based on historical standards, the positive economic environment in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world should support elevated valuation levels. Many international economies continue to be hindered by underlying structural and economic fiscal challenges, including Europe and Japan.
In the near-term, equity markets face several potential headwinds. The U.S. economy is in solid shape and benefiting from improved visibility into growth, but uncertainty around the outcome of the presidential election, the Fed’s anticipated

December interest-rate hike, and political decisions in other parts of Europe post-Brexit could lead to increased volatility.
However, accommodative monetary policy by central banks around the world should limit the downside.
Europe may experience a bit of a relief rally, benefiting from continued easing by the ECB and modest improvements in economic data, but structural problems remain. As we anticipated, the impact of Brexit on the global economy and the reaction by markets thus far has been relatively muted, but we are starting to see some implications in the UK with the pound declining and inflation picking-up. The potential for geopolitical turmoil in a number of different European countries is also still a risk that we continue to monitor.

While we remain cautious on China’s long-term growth prospects, their injection of stimulus is starting to flow through to the real economy, easing concerns about a hard economic landing and providing support for the global economy, especially emerging markets.

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 1.91%. 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, 2016 to September 30, 2016).
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 may charge 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.
ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/1/16 | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 9/30/16 | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 4/1/16 - 9/30/16 | |
Class A | ||||

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | 0.37% | $1,000.00 | $1,023.15 | $1.87 |
* 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 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expense ratios shown in the Financial Highlights represent the actual expenses incurred for the period. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Responsible Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from October 30, 2015 (inception date) through September 30, 2016. 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, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation pursuant to Articles of Incorporation filed on April 11, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation operates five (5) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights for the Calvert Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Corporation is authorized to issue two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of stock, of which 250,000,000 shares have been allocated to the Fund, with a par value of each share at one cent ($0.01).
The Fund is diversified and employs a passive management strategy designed to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Calvert Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Responsible Index. The operations of each series of the Corporation, including the Fund, 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 October 30, 2015. The Fund generally offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. However, the front-end sales charge is waived for shareholders investing in Class A shares directly with the Fund in an account maintained by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) or without a specified broker-dealer or financial adviser (“Direct Account”). Class C shares are not available for purchase in Direct Accounts. For non-Direct Accounts, Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, will be charged a contingent 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 contingent 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, and retirement plans, foundations, endowments and other consultant-driven business, that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares to their clients. Class Y shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
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.
calvert.com CALVERT DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33
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:
Common stock securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value these securities each business day. The third party fair value pricing service takes into account many factors, including, but not limited to, movements in U.S. securities markets and changes in futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred after the close of the principal foreign market, to determine a fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. Securities which were fair valued at September 30, 2016, if any, are identified on the Schedule of Investments.
The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.
The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the 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.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

34 calvert.com CALVERT DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
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 are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received on securities that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Share Class Accounting: 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 common to the classes are also allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
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.
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

CIAS has contractually agreed to waive 0.12% for all classes of the Fund (the difference between the previous administrative fee and the new 0.12% fee) from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018.
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 0.50% 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 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A and C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
calvert.com CALVERT DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 35
CID received $1,209 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the period ended September 30, 2016.
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 $310 for the period ended September 30, 2016. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $52,000 plus a meeting fee of up to $3,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of $6,000 annually may be paid to the Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Board Chair and the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the funds served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY AND TAX INFORMATION
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $14,572,088 and $2,652,829, respectively.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses will retain their character as either long-term or short-term.
Capital Loss Carryforwards | |||
NO EXPIRATION DATE | |||
Short-term | ($34,304 | ) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended September 30, 2016 was as follows:
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: | 2016 | ||
Ordinary income | $6,732 | ||
Total | $6,732 |
As of September 30, 2016, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $590,466 | ||
Unrealized (depreciation) | (466,716) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $123,750 | ||
Undistributed ordinary income | $273,458 | ||
Capital loss carryforward | ($34,304 | ) | |
Other temporary differences | ($255 | ) | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $12,079,920 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are mainly due to wash sales, deferred Trustees’ fees, and investments in passive foreign investment companies.
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 foreign currency transactions, and passive foreign investment companies.

NOTE D — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with State Street Bank, the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value on the international securities loaned (if applicable). Cash collateral is generally invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “U.S. Government Fund”) that is managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The U.S. Government Fund is a registered money market fund that invests in a variety of high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
The total value of securities on loan was $129,497 as of September 30, 2016.
The following table displays a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2016:

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.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) Aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered 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 for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant:
Fiscal Year ended 9/30/16 | Fiscal Year ended 9/30/15 | |||
$ | %* | $ | %* | |
$0 | 0%* | $340,000 | 0%* |
* Percentage of fees approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. S-X (statutory de minimis waiver of Committee’s requirement to pre-approve)
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, 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.
