Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
In the midst of a yearlong trade war with China and slowing economic growth worldwide, U.S. stocks delivered mixed returns during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the downside as investors worried that President Trump’s imposition of broad import tariffs might provoke a wider trade dispute with China, the world’s second-largest economy behind the U.S.
With U.S. economic data largely positive throughout 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised its benchmark federal funds rate four times ─ from a low range of 1.50%-1.75% to 2.25%-2.50% ─ with the last quarter-point increase on December 19, 2018.
U.S. stocks turned higher in early 2019 as trade fears eased and interest rates remained stable after the Fed signaled a slower pace for future rate hikes. However, around the same time, U.S. economic indicators began sending mixed signals. While the job market was robust during the period with the U.S. unemployment rate dipping below 4%, retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer spending. Factory output also declined, dragged down by a large drop in auto production.
The U.S. equity market fluctuated through the spring of 2019. Heightened trade-conflict rhetoric drove stocks lower in May before easing tensions helped equities recover in June. Key economic indicators continued to be mixed, with job creation decelerating sharply in May.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to 2.00%-2.25% on July 31 ─ its first reduction in over a decade ─ followed by a second interest-rate drop to 1.75%-2.00% on September 18. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
After sliding in August, U.S. equities rebounded in early September before retreating in the final weeks of the period. During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 gained 4.21%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, rose 4.25%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 0.52% during the period.
Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, during the period.
As a group, value stocks outpaced growth stocks in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 4.33% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 3.87%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 4.95% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Nine of the Fund’s 11 market sectors had positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, health care, and consumer discretionary. The strongest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and real estate.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2019. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the
36 www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Assets | Level 1 | | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D. 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. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class.

The Board chair receives an additional $15,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.

NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| Year Ended September 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income |

|
| $15,669,667 |
|
Long-term capital gains |
| $35,119,182 |

|
During the year ended September 30, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $2,031,592 and paid-in capital was increased by $2,031,592 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $16,569,879 |
|
Post October capital losses | $(5,871,235) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $421,489,698 |
|
At September 30, 2019, the Fund had a net capital loss of $5,871,235 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2018 that it has elected to defer. This net capital loss is treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s taxable year ending September 30, 2020.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2019, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
|
| | | |
Aggregate cost |
| $1,510,151,134 |
|
Gross unrealized appreciation |
| $454,577,997 |

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities 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 of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2019, the total value of securities on loan was $41,217,135 and the total value of collateral received was $41,979,464 comprised of cash of $5,583,767 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $36,395,697.

The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2019.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million ($62.5 million prior to June 21, 2019) committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which is in effect through June 19, 2020. Borrowings may be made 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 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the increase of the facility in June 2019. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2019. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2019.
Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2019, the Fund and other participating funds managed by CRM terminated the line of credit agreement. Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020, at terms that are more favorable than the terminated agreement.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Calvert Funds and Calvert Research and Management are committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| |
• | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
| |
• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
In the midst of a yearlong trade war with China and slowing economic growth worldwide, U.S. stocks delivered mixed returns during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the downside as investors worried that President Trump’s imposition of broad import tariffs might provoke a wider trade dispute with China, the world’s second-largest economy behind the U.S.
With U.S. economic data largely positive throughout 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised its benchmark federal funds rate four times ─ from a low range of 1.50%-1.75% to 2.25%-2.50% ─ with the last quarter-point increase on December 19, 2018.
U.S. stocks turned higher in early 2019 as trade fears eased and interest rates remained stable after the Fed signaled a slower pace for future rate hikes. However, around the same time, U.S. economic indicators began sending mixed signals. While the job market was robust during the period with the U.S. unemployment rate dipping below 4%, retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer spending. Factory output also declined, dragged down by a large drop in auto production.
The U.S. equity market fluctuated through the spring of 2019. Heightened trade-conflict rhetoric drove stocks lower in May before easing tensions helped equities recover in June. Key economic indicators continued to be mixed, with job creation decelerating sharply in May.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to 2.00%-2.25% on July 31 ─ its first reduction in over a decade ─ followed by a second interest-rate drop to 1.75%-2.00% on September 18. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
After sliding in August, U.S. equities rebounded in early September before retreating in the final weeks of the period. During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 gained 4.21%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, rose 4.25%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 0.52% during the period.
Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, during the period.
As a group, value stocks outpaced growth stocks in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 4.51% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 3.71%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 5.09% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Eight of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, communication services, and health care. The strongest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and materials.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
|
| | | | |
| Beginning Account Value (4/1/19) | Ending Account Value (9/30/19) | Expenses Paid During Period* (4/1/19 - 9/30/19) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,055.90 | $2.53** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,057.30 | $1.24** | 0.24% |
Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,022.61 | $2.48** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,023.87 | $1.22** | 0.24% |
| | | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2019. |
**Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 29
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. 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. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

30 www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2020. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $220,341.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM was paid administrative fee of $95,452.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $37,539 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $12,356 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2019.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2019, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $7,165 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $117,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $15,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,955, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| Year Ended September 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 |

|
| $971,621 |
|
Long-term capital gains |

|
| $232,944 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $114,307 and paid-in capital was increased by $114,307 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities 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 of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2019, the total value of securities on loan was $2,047,751 and the total value of collateral received was $2,081,642, comprised of cash of $373,176 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $1,708,466.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2019.

|
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million ($62.5 million prior to June 21, 2019) committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which is in effect through June 19, 2020. Borrowings may be made 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 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the increase of the facility in June 2019. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2019, the Fund
32 www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP GROWTH RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $1,298,195 at an interest rate of 3.02%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2019. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2019.
Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2019, the Fund and other participating funds managed by CRM terminated the line of credit agreement. Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020, at terms that are more favorable than the terminated agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Calvert Funds and Calvert Research and Management are committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| |
• | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
| |
• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
In the midst of a yearlong trade war with China and slowing economic growth worldwide, U.S. stocks delivered mixed returns during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the downside as investors worried that President Trump’s imposition of broad import tariffs might provoke a wider trade dispute with China, the world’s second-largest economy behind the U.S.
With U.S. economic data largely positive throughout 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised its benchmark federal funds rate four times ─ from a low range of 1.50%-1.75% to 2.25%-2.50% ─ with the last quarter-point increase on December 19, 2018.
U.S. stocks turned higher in early 2019 as trade fears eased and interest rates remained stable after the Fed signaled a slower pace for future rate hikes. However, around the same time, U.S. economic indicators began sending mixed signals. While the job market was robust during the period with the U.S. unemployment rate dipping below 4%, retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer spending. Factory output also declined, dragged down by a large drop in auto production.
The U.S. equity market fluctuated through the spring of 2019. Heightened trade-conflict rhetoric drove stocks lower in May before easing tensions helped equities recover in June. Key economic indicators continued to be mixed, with job creation decelerating sharply in May.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to 2.00%-2.25% on July 31 ─ its first reduction in over a decade ─ followed by a second interest-rate drop to 1.75%-2.00% on September 18. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
After sliding in August, U.S. equities rebounded in early September before retreating in the final weeks of the period. During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 gained 4.21%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, rose 4.25%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 0.52% during the period.
Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, during the period. As
a group, value stocks outpaced growth stocks in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 3.18% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 4.00%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 3.71% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Eight of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, health care, and consumer discretionary. The strongest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and communication services.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

| BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE (4/1/19) | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE (9/30/19) | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* (4/1/19 - 9/30/19) | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,063.70 | $2.53** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,064.70 | $1.24** | 0.24% |
Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,022.61 | $2.48** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,023.87 | $1.22** | 0.24% |
| | | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2019. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
28 www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. 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. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% (0.15% prior to February 1, 2019) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the investment advisory fee amounted to $433,066.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49% and 0.24% (0.57% and 0.22% prior to February 1, 2019) for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with
www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 29
CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2020. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $639,857.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM was paid administrative fees of $404,206.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $116,103 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $20,275 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2019.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2019, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $11,022 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM reimbursed the Fund $4,165 for a net realized loss due to a trading error. The impact of the reimbursement was less than $0.01 per share for each class and had no significant impact on total return.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $117,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $15,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $8,240, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $245,416,718 and $130,823,378, respectively.
NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| Year Ended September 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income |
| $7,689,642 |
|
| $5,436,863 |
|
Long-term capital gains |
| $4,783,830 |
|
| $3,792,831 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $484,897 and paid-in capital was increased by $484,897 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities 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 of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2019, the total value of securities on loan was $11,403,846 and the total value of collateral received was $11,638,102, comprised of cash of $1,149,842 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $10,488,260.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2019.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million ($62.5 million prior to June 21, 2019) committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which is in effect through June 19, 2020. Borrowings may be made 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 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the increase of the facility in June 2019. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund had no borrowings
www.calvert.com CALVERT US LARGE-CAP VALUE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31
outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2019. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2019.
Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2019, the Fund and other participating funds managed by CRM terminated the line of credit agreement. Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020, at terms that are more favorable than the terminated agreement.
NOTE 7 — CAPITAL SHARES
Transactions in capital shares for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US 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, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

| |
• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
In the midst of a yearlong trade war with China and slowing economic growth worldwide, U.S. stocks delivered mixed returns during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the downside as investors worried that President Trump’s imposition of broad import tariffs might provoke a wider trade dispute with China, the world’s second-largest economy behind the U.S.
With U.S. economic data largely positive throughout 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised its benchmark federal funds rate four times ─ from a low range of 1.50%-1.75% to 2.25%-2.50% ─ with the last quarter-point increase on December 19, 2018.
U.S. stocks turned higher in early 2019 as trade fears eased and interest rates remained stable after the Fed signaled a slower pace for future rate hikes. However, around the same time, U.S. economic indicators began sending mixed signals. While the job market was robust during the period with the U.S. unemployment rate dipping below 4%, retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer spending. Factory output also declined, dragged down by a large drop in auto production.
The U.S. equity market fluctuated through the spring of 2019. Heightened trade-conflict rhetoric drove stocks lower in May before easing tensions helped equities recover in June. Key economic indicators continued to be mixed, with job creation decelerating sharply in May.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to 2.00%-2.25% on July 31 ─ its first reduction in over a decade ─ followed by a second interest-rate drop to 1.75%-2.00% on September 18. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
After sliding in August, U.S. equities rebounded in early September before retreating in the final weeks of the period. During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 gained 4.21%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, rose 4.25%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 0.52% during the period.
Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, during the period.
As a group, value stocks outpaced growth stocks in both large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 1.05% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned 3.19%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 1.63% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Six of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, heath care, and communication services. The strongest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and real estate.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

| BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE (4/1/19) | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE (9/30/19) | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* (4/1/19 - 9/30/19) | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,038.40 | $2.50** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,039.60 | $1.23** | 0.24% |
Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,022.61 | $2.48** | 0.49% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,023.87 | $1.22** | 0.24% |
| | | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2019. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of mid-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
www.calvert.com CALVERT US MID-CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
|

Assets | Level 1 | | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

| | | | | |
(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. 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. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% (0.15% prior to February 1, 2019) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the investment advisory fee amounted to $78,305.

The expense reimbursement agreement with
32 www.calvert.com CALVERT US MID-CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2020. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $235,682.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM was paid administrative fees of $71,839.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $39,842 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $5,935 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2019.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2019, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $11,835 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $117,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $15,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,535, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $34,223,643 and $41,387,612, respectively.
NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| Year Ended September 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 |

|
| $1,085,075 |
|
Long-term capital gains |
| $866,268 |
|
| $429,897 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $196,371 and paid-in capital was increased by $196,371 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities 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 of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2019, the total value of securities on loan was $4,186,981 and the total value of collateral received was $4,257,343, comprised of cash of $96,169 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $4,161,174.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2019.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million ($62.5 million prior to June 21, 2019) committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which is in effect through June 19, 2020. Borrowings may be made 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 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the increase of the facility in June 2019. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund had no borrowings
34 www.calvert.com CALVERT US MID-CAP CORE RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2019. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2019.
Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2019, the Fund and other participating funds managed by CRM terminated the line of credit agreement. Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020, at terms that are more favorable than the terminated agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
In the midst of a yearlong U.S.-China trade war and slowing economic growth worldwide, global stocks delivered mixed returns during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the downside as investors worried that President Trump’s imposition of broad import tariffs might provoke a wider trade dispute with China, the world’s second-largest economy behind the U.S.
With U.S. economic data largely positive in calendar year 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised its benchmark federal funds rate four times ─ from a low range of 1.50%-1.75% to 2.25%-2.50% ─ with the last quarter-point increase on December 19, 2018.
U.S. stocks turned higher in early 2019 as trade fears eased and interest rates remained stable after the Fed signaled a slower pace for future rate hikes. However, around the same time, U.S. economic indicators began sending mixed signals. While the U.S. job market was robust during the period with the unemployment rate dipping below 4%, retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer spending. Factory output also declined, dragged down by a large drop in auto production.
The U.S. equity market fluctuated through the spring of 2019. Heightened trade-conflict rhetoric drove stocks lower in May before easing tensions helped equities recover in June. Key economic indicators continued to be mixed, with job creation decelerating sharply in May.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to 2.00%-2.25% on July 31 ─ its first reduction in over a decade ─ followed by a second interest-rate drop to 1.75%-2.00% on September 18. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
After sliding in August, U.S. equities rebounded in early September before pulling back in the final weeks of the period. Like U.S. stocks, global equity markets were volatile during the period. In addition to concerns about U.S.-China trade tensions, investors confronted widespread evidence of a global economic slowdown from Germany to China to India. In Europe, markets faced the added uncertainties of Brexit. The United Kingdom is expected to exit the European Union this fall despite the political turmoil the pending move has already created inside and outside its borders.
During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, the MSCI World Index,2 a proxy for global equities, returned 1.83%. In the U.S., the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® gained 4.21%, while the broader U.S. equity market represented by the S&P 500® Index rose 4.25%. The MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities fell -1.34%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell -2.02% during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2019, Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 0.34% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index, which returned -0.95%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert International Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 0.51% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Six of the Fund’s 11 market sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The weakest-performing sectors were energy, materials, and financials. The strongest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and health care.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

| BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE (4/1/19) | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE (9/30/19) | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD (4/1/19 - 9/30/19)* | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1040.60 | $2.76** | 0.54% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1041.90 | $1.48** | 0.29% |
Class R6 | $1,000.00 | $1,041.90 | $1.33** | 0.26% |
Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,022.36 | $2.74** | 0.54% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,023.61 | $1.47** | 0.29% |
Class R6 | $1,000.00 | $1,023.77 | $1.32** | 0.26% |
| | | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2019. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert International Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies that are located in countries (other than the U.S.) with developed markets.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a “pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Board has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 35
price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) For further breakdown of equity securities by country, please refer to the Schedule of Investments. |
(2) Includes foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income, and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
36 www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
E. 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. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.12% (0.15% prior to February 1, 2019) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the investment advisory fee amounted to $142,094.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.54% and 0.29% (0.62% and 0.27% prior to February 1, 2019) Class A and Class I, respectively, and 0.26% for Class R6 of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2020. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $370,877.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2019, CRM was paid administrative fees of $131,841.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $70,963 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $4,459 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2019.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2019, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $9,210 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $117,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $15,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT 37
are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $2,694, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $63,774,657 and $55,585,875, respectively.
NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| Year Ended September 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income |
| $2,242,002 |
|
| $898,534 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $551,141 and paid-in capital was increased by $551,141 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $2,107,823 |
|
Deferred capital losses |
| ($2,977,690 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $3,175,609 |
|
At September 30, 2019, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $2,977,690 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2019, $2,177,798 are short-term and $799,892 are long term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2019, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
|
| | | |
Aggregate cost |
| $115,236,745 |
|
Gross unrealized appreciation |
| $8,727,156 |
|
Gross unrealized depreciation | (5,550,014 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $3,177,142 |
|
NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities 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 of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market
38 www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBLE INDEX FUND ANNUAL REPORT
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. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2019, the total value of securities on loan was $2,980,181 and the total value of collateral received was $3,146,719, comprised of cash of $1,013,429 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $2,133,290.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2019.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2019.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $100 million ($62.5 million prior to June 21, 2019) committed unsecured line of credit agreement with SSBT, which is in effect through June 19, 2020. Borrowings may be made 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 1.00% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the increase of the facility in June 2019. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2019, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to the line of credit of $8,489,097 at an interest rate of 3.02%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2019. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (See Note 1A) at September 30, 2019. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2019.
Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2019, the Fund and other participating funds managed by CRM terminated the line of credit agreement. Effective October 29, 2019, the Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020, at terms that are more favorable than the terminated agreement.

NOTE 8 — RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
Investing in foreign securities involves additional risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad. Other risks result from differences between regulations that apply to U.S. and foreign issuers and markets, and the potential for foreign markets to be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Privacy. The Calvert Funds and Calvert Research and Management are committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| |
• | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
| |
• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT will be available on the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Harper III, an “independent” Director serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) - (d)
The following table presents the aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the registrant’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019 by KPMG for professional services rendered for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG during such periods.

| |
(1) | Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under the category of audit fees. |
| |
(2) | Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant relating to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning and specifically include fees for tax return preparation and other related tax compliance/planning matters. |

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

(h) | The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
