Dear Shareholder:
After a strong finish to 2010 and start of the new year, the U.S. economy lost its footing in the summer of 2011. Hope for a second-half rebound gave way to concerns we were heading into another recession as consumer insecurity, a weak job market, the looming sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and uncertainty about the direction of U.S. and European policy weighed on economic growth and turned markets into a roller coaster.
The final months of the reporting period were particularly difficult for equities amid significant market volatility in the financial markets. After U.S. government debt lost its Standard & Poor’s triple A rating for the first time in history, already anxious investors flocked to the relative safety of cash and Treasuries, despite very low short-term yields. In the end, third-quarter market turmoil more than erased stock market gains made through the first six months of 2011. In fact, the -13.87% third-quarter return for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was the biggest quarterly drop for that index since the financial meltdown in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The 2008-2009 Financial Crisis -- Where Are We Now?
There have been many media comparisons to the third quarter of 2008 recently, so I think it’s worth noting some key differences. Despite third-quarter events, equity markets are still generally ahead of where they were in the depths of the financial crisis, as the S&P 500 Index and Russell Mid-Cap Index returned an annualized 1.23% and 3.96% for the three-year period ended September 30, 2011. Also, unlike 2008, the stock market seems to be rebounding quickly, having regained much of the lost ground in the first two weeks of October.
While still high, the unemployment rate has decreased a full percentage point from its recession peak. And in a direct month-to-month comparison, the United States added 103,000 jobs in September 2011 (58,000 if you exclude the return of striking Verizon workers) versus losing 434,000 jobs in September 2008.1 In housing, builder confidence in the current market for new single-family homes as measured by the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) rose four points to 18 for October 2011--a sign that pockets of recovery in housing may be starting to emerge across the country. The HMI index is also four points higher than it was in October 2008.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 4 |
Energy prices have fallen, too--after soaring to $150 a barrel, crude oil hovered around $80 a barrel at the end of September 2011. While prices at the pump did not decrease proportionately, they are lower, which is good for consumers’ wallets and oil-dependent industries. In fact, reports show retail sales have notched up in recent weeks--a sign that consumers are starting to spend a bit more freely now. And although household debt still exceeds consumers’ after-tax income, it fell 12% between its record high in September 2007 and June of this year.2 The bottom line is that economic recovery may continue to be more two-steps-forward-one-step-back rather than the straight line progress we’d all prefer, but the recovery is happening. In the meantime, the expertise of your Calvert fund managers will help guide your investments through the ups and downs that may lie ahead.
Board Diversity and Company Competitiveness
As always, we filed several shareholder resolutions this year asking companies to consider diverse candidates during their board selection. Most were successfully withdrawn after the companies agreed to add specific considerations of race, gender and ethnicity to their selection process. However, Urban Outfitters was one of two companies that opposed the resolution that we filed.
Unlike its five biggest apparel-industry competitors, Urban Outfitters doesn’t have any women or minorities on its board. This is particularly disconcerting since 53% of its North American net retail store sales in fiscal 2011 came from its Anthropologie and Free People stores for women. Of course, the Urban Outfitters flagship store heavily caters to women too. Smart companies understand the importance of having management that reflects their target audiences and Urban Outfitters is certainly missing the mark.
We pressed on and 22% of shareholders voted in favor of the resolution. The battle received a good deal of attention in the press, although it remains to be seen if the company will heed the call of its shareholders.
Your Financial Advisor Is Always Available
It’s easy to be a long-term investor when markets are strong. The challenge is to remain one when markets are going through a protracted period of uncertainty. While it may take longer than we’d like, markets have always recovered in the past and I am confident they will do so again. These cycles are simply the nature of the market.
In times like these, it’s best to stay the course, maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. However, if you think your financial needs or risk tolerance have changed, your financial advisor is always available to discuss your concerns.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible man- agement of environmental, social, and gover- nance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.
Climate ChangeAs the impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent, the consequences on vulnerable, impoverished communities around the world cannot be ignored. Even with aggressive mitigation efforts, many will still experience dire effects from more severe weather-related disasters, increased food and water insecurity, increased scarcity of natural resources, and negative health effects. While many communities have begun to prepare, businesses can contribute to--and benefit from--preparation as well.
To that end, Calvert has joined with leading companies such as Entergy, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Levi Strauss, Limited Brands, Starbucks, and Swiss Re to launch the Partnership for Resilience and Environmental Preparedness (PREP) to promote business practices that help companies and communities gear up for the impact of climate change. It also advocates for public policies to mitigate climate variability, weather extremes, and other consequences of a changing climate.
Overall Shareholder Advocacy Efforts
Calvert filed 38 resolutions in the 2011 proxy season, 28 of which were successfully withdrawn after companies agreed to the terms of the resolution. The most popular topics were sustainability reporting, climate change risks, and climate principles.
Majority Vote in Director Elections
Shareholders’ role in electing a board of directors is a fundamental part of ensuring accountability. Unfortunately, many companies weaken this role by conducting elections under a plurality rather than a majority standard—which essentially means a director nominee can be elected with only his or her own affirmative vote.
Calvert filed four shareholder proposals calling for companies to adopt majority voting this year. Those at Plains Exploration and Production, Global Payments, and Agco were withdrawn after the companies agreed to the requested changes. Hansen Natural responded with minor improvements to their election process. But we felt they were insufficient, so we kept the resolution on the ballot and 48% of shareholders voted in favor of it.
Update on Board Diversity
Persuading companies to make their boards more representative of their customers, employees, and other target audiences continues to be an important initiative. In August, Calvert Senior Sustainability Analyst Aditi Mohapatra published an article in Forbes
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 7 |
magazine, “Are There Really Boards With No Women?” The article highlighted the fact that women still hold only 18% of corporate board posts at S&P 100 companies, despite a growing body of evidence proving the business case for diverse boards.
Also, five resolutions seeking a proactive commitment to include women and minorities as part of every board director search were filed this year. Three were successfully withdrawn before the annual meeting. The remaining two—at Urban Outfitters and American Financial Group—received strong support with 22% and 27% of shareholders votes.
First U.S. Automaker Added to Calvert Social Index
Another notable event was Ford Motor becoming the first U.S. automaker to qualify for Calvert Signature Funds and be added to the Calvert Social Index. Ford has emerged in recent years as the fuel efficiency leader among the big three U.S. auto manufacturers. A review of Ford’s key industry impacts, as well as our engagement with the company over the past four years, ensured that it met our environment, social, and governance (ESG) criteria for investment.
While we remain concerned about the overall impact of automobile companies on issues such as greenhouse emissions, we believe Ford and the foreign automakers Calvert invests in are taking meaningful steps to reduce the negative environmental impacts of their products. Of course, we will continue to seek improvement on key issues by working with senior management of all these companies.
Community Investments
Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, which is administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 One such company receiving funding through the Foundation is Seedco Financial Services, which supports small businesses in under-served communities and those owned by women and minorities such as Telecom Transport Services in Birmingham, Alabama. Last year, owner Sue Watkins landed a large contract to transport costly telecommunication equipment that required the company to move to a new warehouse, lease new equipment, and hire additional staff. A $25,000 microloan from Seedco allowed her to make the necessary investments. Now the company enjoys continued growth and is creating jobs in her community.
Special Equities
A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies that aim to provide market-rate returns while developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues.

One recent investment was PresenceLearning, a firm that provides live, online speech therapy to students via web-based video conference technology.2 A national shortage of speech therapists prevents many students with severe communication disorders from receiving therapy. Now, the company’s distributed network technology enables specialists to serve more students in a more cost-efficient manner.
Another investment was DBL Equity Fund–BAEF II, L.P.2 DBL is a women-led firm with a “Double Bottom Line” strategy to invest in companies that aim to deliver top-tier venture capital returns while working with these companies to create social, environmental, and economic improvement in the regions where they operate.
1 As of September 30, 2011, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.79%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.48%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.57%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investment-sponsored investment product.

Investment Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2011, Calvert International Equity Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned -14.47%, underperforming the -8.51% return of the MSCI EAFE Investable Market Index due to weak stock selection.
Investment Climate
A strong performance by equity markets in the fourth quarter of 2010 and modest gains in the first half of 2011 were largely erased by stocks’ dismal performance in the third quarter of 2011. Despite healthy earnings from U.S. companies, macroeconomic troubles became the focus of attention and weighed on investor sentiment. Over the past four quarters, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index of U.S. stocks returned 1.14%. International stocks fared considerably worse as the MSCI EAFE IMI and MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Index, for example, returned -8.51% and -16.46%, respectively.
In general, U.S. companies, led by those in the Technology and Health Care sectors, continued to show financial strength and to

rely on their healthy balance sheets and impressive cash reserves for mergers and acquisitions.
The eurozone crisis continued to unfold, weighed down by struggling peripheral economies. Although leaders attempted to assure investors that the proposed long-term solutions to the debt crisis were viable, the fear of contagion intensified. Germany and France braced for a Greek default by taking steps to insulate their financial institutions from large losses. While we don’t see a high probability of a Greek default driving the United States into recession, the possibility still seemed to drive market sentiment.
European bank stocks continued to be among those most adversely impacted by the eurozone debt crisis, driven by longer-term funding stress, as well as by U.S. money market funds’ further reductions in their exposure to these banks.
The S&P downgrade of U.S. government debt on August 5 was another blow to investor confidence, contributing to a global equity market sell-off and pushing U.S. Treasury yields down as risk aversion in the markets increased. The resulting equity market volatility was also fed by concerns about the political stalemate in Washington, the European sovereign debt issues, and a significant slowdown in U.S. economic growth—or, more ominously, the possibility of a double-dip recession in the United States.
After the completion of QE2 in June, the Federal Reserve (Fed) supplemented its accommodative policy with the well-timed September 21 announcement of “operation twist,” a plan to sell $400 billion in short-term Treasuries while purchasing the same amount of longer-term Treasuries. This could boost investment and refinanc-ing in the United States by reducing long-

term interest rates. The Fed also promised to keep interest rates low for the next two years. However, the announcement was accompanied by alarming statements about U.S. economic weakness, which further unsettled markets.
In fact, worries about anemic global economic growth intensified over the last 12 months, with U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth numbers revised down for the first half of the year to less than a 1% average annual growth rate, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The most recent release of employment figures by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the unemployment rate remained at 9.1% in August. Jobs data is likely to be a lagging indicator of economic activity in this economic cycle and may not improve until other economic indicators are more firmly in positive territory.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 11 |
Although the secular upward trend in commodity prices may persist in the long term, decreasing commodity prices are a positive for global economic growth in the near term. A continued price break should reduce risks to top-line inflation, lift the drag on economic growth, and provide additional stability to the Fed’s actions.
In China, the threat of inflation still looms and may make it difficult for that country and other emerging-market economies to implement more accommodative monetary policy in the near term. However, recent industrial production numbers in China were positive and although manufacturing data was slightly contractionary, it was not at hard landing levels.
One of the stronger headwinds to U.S. economic growth, the housing market, seems to be stabilizing, helped by historically low mortgage rates and home prices, and can provide a considerable boost to consumer confidence. The U.S. manufacturing sector continued to be strong, with the Chicago PMI and ISM Manufacturing PMI both better than expected in September.
Portfolio Strategy
The Fund is based upon a multi-manager approach with allocations managed by each of the two sub-advisors, Thornburg Investment Management and Martin Currie Inc., as well as the advisor, Calvert Investment Management, Inc., with the latter also overseeing the general strategy and overall allocations to the managers.
Stock selection in the Fund suffered, primarily in Financials. All three managers had significant struggles in their respective portfolios in this sector, specifically within the commercial banks industry due to the negative impact of the European debt crisis.

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

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.90%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

all weighed on performance. The Fund also experienced stock selection weakness within Diversified Financials, specifically as a result of its Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearinghouse and BM&F Bovespa holdings. Areas within Industrials and Consumer Staples detracted as well, but to a much lesser extent.
Sector allocation had an slight negative impact on the overall active return. Country allocation was a positive contributor to active return, driven by the Fund’s overweight position in North American equities.
Outlook
While we may see further volatility in the equity markets, those who step in to buy the dips in a time of uncertainty could have the potential for greater returns. Combined with generally positive U.S. economic data and attractive equity valuations--the 12-month forward price/earnings ratio for the S&P 500 Index was 10.61 after market close on September 30--as well as signs that China’s growth momentum has not stalled, we continue to believe the market can see a healthy recovery in the next few months. We remain cautiously optimistic on U.S. economic growth, albeit less so on European and global growth.
We also believe the U.S. earnings season that started in October is likely to provide positive earnings surprises and serve as a positive catalyst for the U.S. and possibly global equity markets, especially given current valuation levels, which may present some of the best buying opportunities in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Calvert World Values International Equity Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., as of September 30, 2011, and 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 financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert World Values International Equity Fund as of September 30, 2011, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert International Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The operation of each series is accounted for separately. The Fund offers five classes of shares of capital stock. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At September 30, 2011, securities valued at $8,898,945 or 3.1% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31 |
determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities and venture capital securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Venture capital securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Fund’s Board of Directors and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Venture capital direct equity securities are generally valued using the most appropriate and applicable method to measure fair value in light of each company’s situation. Methods may include market, income or cost approaches with discounts as appropriate based on assumptions of liquidation or exit risk. Examples of the market approach are subsequent rounds of financing, comparable transactions, and revenue times an industry multiple. An example of the income approach is the discounted cash flow. Examples of the cost approach are replacement cost, salvage value, or net asset percentage. Venture capital limited partnership (LP) securities are valued at the fair value reported by the general partner of the partnership adjusted as necessary to reflect subsequent capital calls and distributions and any other available information. In the absence of a reported LP unit value it may be estimated based on the Fund’s percentage equity in the partnership and/ or other balance sheet information and portfolio value for the most recently available period reported by the general partner. In some cases adjustments may be made to account for daily pricing of material public holdings within the partnership. Venture capital debt securities are valued based on assumptions of credit and market risk. For venture capital securities denominated in foreign currency, the fair value is marked to the daily exchange rate.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term instruments of sufficient credit quality, with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less, generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value; those for which quotations are not readily available are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 32 |
on the circumstances.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of September 30, 2011:

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 33 |
For the year ended September 30, 2011, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($1,235,286). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s Statement of Net Assets.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 34 |
capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on the following annual rates of average daily net assets: .75% on the first $250 million, .725% on the next $250 million and .675% on the excess of $500 million. Under the terms of the agreement, $183,927 was payable at year end. In addition, $96,271 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2011.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2012 for Class I and Class Y. The contractual expense cap is 1.10% and 1.39%, respectively. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses.

The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C, respectively. Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of agreement, $55,062 was payable at year end.

(3) non-profit organization that receives in-kind support from Calvert and its subsidiaries. The Fund has received from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order permitting the Fund to make investments in these notes under certain conditions.
Each Director of the Funds who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $44,000 plus a meeting fee of $2,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of up to $5,000 annually may be paid to the Board chair and Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $173,232,646 and $185,127,738, respectively.
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS | ||
EXPIRATION DATE | ||
30-Sep-17 | ($90,728,857 | ) |

30-Sep-19 | (10,386,632 | ) |
Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will soon be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | 2011 | 2010 | |
Ordinary income | $1,202,378 | $3,534,061 | |
Total | $1,202,378 | $3,534,061 |
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT 37 |
As of September 30, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $12,728,437 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | (53,551,801 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | ($40,823,364 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $3,626,128 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($207,057,757 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $328,741,377 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are due to wash sales, passive foreign investment companies, and partnerships.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassification for the Fund are due to foreign currency transactions, partnerships, and passive foreign investment companies.
Undistributed net investment income | ($551,685 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 551,619 | |
Paid-in capital | 66 |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended September 30, 2011.

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and post-
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 45
age expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Dear Shareholders:
After a strong finish to 2010 and start of the new year, the U.S. economy lost its footing in the summer of 2011. Hope for a second-half rebound gave way to concerns we were heading into another recession as consumer insecurity, a weak job market, the looming sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and uncertainty about the direction of U.S. and European policy weighed on economic growth and turned markets into a roller coaster.
The final months of the reporting period were particularly difficult for equities amid significant market volatility in the financial markets. After U.S. government debt lost its Standard & Poor’s triple A rating for the first time in history, already anxious investors flocked to the relative safety of cash and Treasuries, despite very low short-term yields. In the end, third-quarter market turmoil more than erased stock market gains made through the first six months of 2011. In fact, the -13.87% third-quarter return for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was the biggest quarterly drop for that index since the financial meltdown in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The 2008-2009 Financial Crisis -- Where Are We Now?
There have been many media comparisons to the third quarter of 2008 recently, so I think it’s worth noting some key differences. Despite third-quarter events, equity markets are still generally ahead of where they were in the depths of the financial crisis, as the S&P 500 Index and Russell Mid-Cap Index returned an annualized 1.23% and 3.96% for the three-year period ended September 30, 2011. Also, unlike 2008, the stock market seems to be rebounding quickly, having regained much of the lost ground in the first two weeks of October.
While still high, the unemployment rate has decreased a full percentage point from its recession peak. And in a direct month-to-month comparison, the United States added 103,000 jobs in September 2011 (58,000 if you exclude the return of striking Verizon workers) versus losing 434,000 jobs in September 2008.1 In housing, builder confidence in the current market for new single-family homes as measured by the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) rose four points to 18 for October 2011--a sign that pockets of recovery in housing may be starting to emerge across the country. The HMI index is also four points higher than it was in October 2008.
Energy prices have fallen, too--after soaring to $150 a barrel, crude oil hovered around $80 a barrel at the end of September 2011. While prices at the pump did not decrease
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 4
proportionately, they are lower, which is good for consumers’ wallets and oil-dependent industries. In fact, reports show retail sales have notched up in recent weeks--a sign that consumers are starting to spend a bit more freely now. And although household debt still exceeds consumers’ after-tax income, it fell 12% between its record high in September 2007 and June of this year.2 The bottom line is that economic recovery may continue to be more two-steps-forward-one-step-back rather than the straight line progress we’d all prefer, but the recovery is happening. In the meantime, the expertise of your Calvert fund managers will help guide your investments through the ups and downs that may lie ahead.
Board Diversity and Company Competitiveness
As always, we filed several shareholder resolutions this year asking companies to consider diverse candidates during their board selection. Most were successfully withdrawn after the companies agreed to add specific considerations of race, gender and ethnicity to their selection process. However, Urban Outfitters was one of two companies that opposed the resolution that we filed.
Unlike its five biggest apparel-industry competitors, Urban Outfitters doesn’t have any women or minorities on its board. This is particularly disconcerting since 53% of its North American net retail store sales in fiscal 2011 came from its Anthropologie and Free People stores for women. Of course, the Urban Outfitters flagship store heavily caters to women too. Smart companies understand the importance of having management that reflects their target audiences and Urban Outfitters is certainly missing the mark.
We pressed on and 22% of shareholders voted in favor of the resolution. The battle received a good deal of attention in the press, although it remains to be seen if the company will heed the call of its shareholders.
Your Financial Advisor Is Always Available
It’s easy to be a long-term investor when markets are strong. The challenge is to remain one when markets are going through a protracted period of uncertainty. While it may take longer than we’d like, markets have always recovered in the past and I am confident they will do so again. These cycles are simply the nature of the market.
In times like these, it’s best to stay the course, maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. However, if you think your financial needs or risk tolerance have changed, your financial advisor is always available to discuss your concerns.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.
Climate Change
As the impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent, the consequences on vulnerable, impoverished communities around the world cannot be ignored. Even with aggressive mitigation efforts, many will still experience dire effects from more severe weather-related disasters, increased food and water insecurity, increased scarcity of natural resources, and negative health effects. While many communities have begun to prepare, businesses can contribute to--and benefit from--preparation as well.
To that end, Calvert has joined with leading companies such as Entergy, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Levi Strauss, Limited Brands, Starbucks, and Swiss Re to launch the Partnership for Resilience and Environmental Preparedness (PREP) to promote business practices that help companies and communities gear up for the impact of climate change. It also advocates for public policies to mitigate climate variability, weather extremes, and other consequences of a changing climate.
Overall Shareholder Advocacy Efforts
Calvert filed 38 resolutions in the 2011 proxy season, 28 of which were successfully withdrawn after companies agreed to the terms of the resolution. The most popular topics were sustainability reporting, climate change risks, and climate principles.
Majority Vote in Director Elections
Shareholders’ role in electing a board of directors is a fundamental part of ensuring accountability. Unfortunately, many companies weaken this role by conducting elections under a plurality rather than a majority standard—which essentially means a director nominee can be elected with only his or her own affirmative vote.
Calvert filed four shareholder proposals calling for companies to adopt majority voting this year. Those at Plains Exploration and Production, Global Payments, and Agco were withdrawn after the companies agreed to the requested changes. Hansen Natural responded with minor improvements to their election process. But we felt they were insufficient, so we kept the resolution on the ballot and 48% of shareholders voted in favor of it.
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 7
Update on Board Diversity
Persuading companies to make their boards more representative of their customers, employees, and other target audiences continues to be an important initiative. In August, Calvert Senior Sustainability Analyst Aditi Mohapatra published an article in Forbes magazine, “Are There Really Boards With No Women?” The article highlighted the fact that women still hold only 18% of corporate board posts at S&P 100 companies, despite a growing body of evidence proving the business case for diverse boards.
Also, five resolutions seeking a proactive commitment to include women and minorities as part of every board director search were filed this year. Three were successfully withdrawn before the annual meeting. The remaining two—at Urban Outfitters and American Financial Group—received strong support with 22% and 27% of shareholders votes.
First U.S. Automaker Added to Calvert Social Index
Another notable event was Ford Motor becoming the first U.S. automaker to qualify for Calvert Signature Funds and be added to the Calvert Social Index. Ford has emerged in recent years as the fuel efficiency leader among the big three U.S. auto manufacturers. A review of Ford’s key industry impacts, as well as our engagement with the company over the past four years, ensured that it met our environment, social, and governance (ESG) criteria for investment.
While we remain concerned about the overall impact of automobile companies on issues such as greenhouse emissions, we believe Ford and the foreign automakers Calvert invests in are taking meaningful steps to reduce the negative environmental impacts of their products. Of course, we will continue to seek improvement on key issues by working with senior management of all these companies.
Community Investments
Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, which is administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 One such company receiving funding through the Foundation is Seedco Financial Services, which supports small businesses in under-served communities and those owned by women and minorities such as Telecom Transport Services in Birmingham, Alabama. Last year, owner Sue Watkins landed a large contract to transport costly telecommunication equipment that required the company to move to a new warehouse, lease new equipment, and hire additional staff. A $25,000 microloan from Seedco allowed her to make the necessary investments. Now the company enjoys continued growth and is creating jobs in her community.
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 8
Special Equities
A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies that aim to provide market-rate returns while developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues.
One recent investment was PresenceLearning, a firm that provides live, online speech therapy to students via web-based video conference technology.2 A national shortage of speech therapists prevents many students with severe communication disorders from receiving therapy. Now, the company’s distributed network technology enables specialists to serve more students in a more cost-efficient manner.
Another investment was DBL Equity Fund–BAEF II, L.P.2 DBL is a women-led firm with a “Double Bottom Line” strategy to invest in companies that aim to deliver top-tier venture capital returns while working with these companies to create social, environmental, and economic improvement in the regions where they operate.
1. As of September 30, 2011, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.79%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.48%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.57%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Investment Performance
In the 12 months ended September 30, 2011, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund Class A shares (at NAV) returned 4.29%. This compares with 0.80% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The Fund’s outperformance was largely due to strong stock selection in several sectors.

The U.S. stock market suffered through one of its worst quarters on record in the third quarter of 2011 as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell 13.9% and the Russell 1000 dropped 14.7%, more than erasing the year-to-date gains made through June 30. Revisions of gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecasts and lower-than-expected first half U.S. economic growth, the worsen- ing eurozone debt crisis, and the downgrade in the U.S. government debt credit rating all played a role. | |||

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) emphasized “downside risks” and the new head of the International Monetary Fund issued equally dispiriting remarks. Those comments became self-fulfilling prophecies as markets sold off sharply worldwide and correlations across different classes hit peak levels.
A shift was seen in monetary policies as well. Tightening and interest rate hikes early in the year by some European and emerging-markets economies gave way to an easing bias in many of those countries amid the weakening global economy and declining commodity prices. Global short-term interest rates appear to have peaked as well, which may signal a reversal of the monetary tightening to fight inflation in many global economies.
Despite the economic gloom, corporate profits held up remarkably well. Companies have been sitting on record levels of cash, but economic, political, and regulatory uncertainty has prevented them from ramping up capital spending and hiring. However, there were a number of stock repurchases and M&A activity was steady.
Portfolio Strategy
During the past year, we sold 18 stocks and purchased 15 new ones. Overall, the effect of our sector selection on fund performance was neutral since an overweight position in Energy and underweight to Materials helped performance, while an underweight to Consumer Staples detracted. However, our stock selection was strong--particularly in Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials.
We sold Materials holding Nalco on news that it would be acquired by Ecolab and replaced it with packaging and container company Ball. In Consumer Discretionary, we replaced Advance Auto Parts with auctioneer Sotheby’s. We also bought packaged foods company Ralcorp, then sold it later due to rising input costs. Corn Products International took its place. Our Heath Care exposure was reduced with sales of Waters and Lincare, although purchases of hospice care provider Chemed and Questcor Pharmaceuticals were made as well. We also bought Kinetic Concepts, a maker of medical technology for wound healing, and sold it when it reached its price target.
Information Technology firm Arrow Electronics was bought and later sold due to disappointing earnings. National Semiconductor was sold on news it would be acquired by Texas Instruments, and NCR was added. Telecommunication Services company MetroPCS Communications was bought and then sold when it reached its price target.
Our stock picks in Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials added value, while those in Industrials and Materials hurt. Among the positives, Information Technology holding National Semiconductor (91.7%)1 and Nalco (46.2%) in Materials were acquired at healthy premiums. HealthSpring (41.1%) experienced strong membership growth and low utilization rates.
In Consumer Discretionary, Ross Stores (45.7%) benefited from strong same-store sales results. Robust earnings helped Information Technology holding Teradata (38.8%), propelled in part by the launching of several high-profile “cloud” services. In Financials, IntercontinentalExchange (12.9%) moved higher as trading volumes recovered throughout the year.
On the other hand, Industrials holding General Cable (-46.2%) and Reliance Steel

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods. The results shown are for Classes A and C shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A sales charge of 4.75%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.61%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

in Materials (-17.3%) were pressured by concerns about slowing global economic growth. NII Holdings (-34.4%) in Telecommunication Services lost ground because of internal control issues in its Brazilian operations as well as its exposure to softening Latin American currencies.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight Information Technology and underweight Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Materials.
Outlook
We expect the second half of the year should see faster growth in the U.S. economy as the effects of the Japanese disasters ease.
We believe the United States will avoid a double-dip recession, but growth will remain sub-par and the employment situation will likely be sluggish for the foreseeable future. Issues in the housing market have subsided and should have a neutral rather than a negative effect.
Globally, there are multiple economic and political risks. Sovereign debt and burgeoning entitlement program costs are looming for many countries and will need to be addressed over the long term. Meanwhile, the private sector continues to deleverage and slumping markets are having a negative impact on the wealth effect. Both, in turn, dampen economic activity. The Middle East and North Africa remain troubling, with the potential for more upheaval.

Overall, we believe the U.S. markets will recover modestly from this slump since corporate earnings and cash flows remain strong. Many of the companies we own are still reporting strong end-market demand and we expect overall corporate profits to increase 7% next year. Valuations are low at the moment, but we believe multiples are unlikely to expand markedly due to the amount of economic and political uncertainty. However, correlations should drop, which should allow stock-picking styles to return to favor.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The operation of each series is accounted for separately. The Fund offers five classes of shares of capital stock. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A Shares. Effective January 31, 2011, the Fund began to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At September 30, 2011, securities valued at $1,367,819 or 0.8% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 25
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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term instruments of sufficient credit quality, with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less, generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value; those for which quotations are not readily available are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of September 30, 2011:
VALUATION INPUTS | |||||
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
Equity securities* | $164,534,325 | — | — | $164,534,325 | |
Other debt obligations | — | $7,203,993 | $1,367,819 | 8,571,812 | |
TOTAL | $164,534,325 | $7,203,993 | $1,367,819 | ** | $173,106,137 |
* For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
**Level 3 securities represent 0.8% of net assets.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, includ-
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 26
ing accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s Statement of Net Assets.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
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 generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 27
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Class I and Class Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $42,467 was payable at year end.
CID received $65,487 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2011.
Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Fund.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration; however, the Fund’s use of net capital loss carryforwards acquired from Calvert MidCap Value Fund may be limited under certain tax provisions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will soon be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
As of September 30, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $15,922,364 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | (18,308,345 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | ($2,385,981 | ) |
Undistributed long term capital gain | $10,400,401 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($4,384,059 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $175,492,118 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales and capital loss carryover limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent difference causing such reclassification for the Fund is the tax treatment of net operating losses.
Undistributed net investment income | $1,702,926 | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | (1,158,264 | ) |
Paid-in capital | (544,662 | ) |

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2011. For the year ended September 30, 2011, borrowings by the Fund under the agreement were as follows:
WEIGHTED | MONTH OF | ||
AVERAGE | AVERAGE | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
DAILY | INTEREST | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
BALANCE | RATE | BORROWED | BORROWED |
$60,170 | 1.41% | $8,672,778 | July 2011 |
NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2011, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTE F – REORGANIZATION
On July 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund (“Capital Accumulation”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Mid Cap Value. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on November 15, 2010 and the reorganization took place on November 29, 2010.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
MERGED PORTFOLIO | SHARES | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | SHARES | VALUE | |
Mid Cap Value, Class A | 1,893,904 | Capital Accum., Class A | 1,182,147 | $32,646,286 | |
Mid Cap Value, Class C | 168,591 | Capital Accum., Class C | 115,716 | $2,759,872 | |
Mid Cap Value, Class I | 453,854 | Capital Accum., Class I | 273,543 | $8,070,394 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Capital Accumulation were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Mid Cap Value were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Capital Accumulation’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT 31
UNREALIZED | |||||
APPRECIATION | ACQUIRING | ||||
MERGED PORTFOLIO | NET ASSETS | (DEPRECIATION) | PORTFOLIO | NET ASSETS | |
Mid Cap Value | $43,476,552 | $4,028,812 | Capital Accum. | $117,367,809 |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2010, Capital Accumulation’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 would have been as follows:
Net investment income | ($1,710,846 | ) (a) | |
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 2,329,269 | (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations | $ | 618,423 |
Because Capital Accumulation and Mid Cap Value sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Mid Cap Value that have been included in Capital Accumulation’s Statement of Operations since November 29, 2010.
(a) | ($1,702,926) as reported, plus ($7,920), from Mid Cap Value pre-merger. |
(b) | ($809,057) as reported, plus $3,138,326 from Mid Cap Value pre-merger. |

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 38
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fee, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio.

Dear Shareholder:
After a strong finish to 2010 and start of the new year, the U.S. economy lost its footing in the summer of 2011. Hope for a second-half rebound gave way to concerns we were heading into another recession as consumer insecurity, a weak job market, the looming sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and uncertainty about the direction of U.S. and European policy weighed on economic growth and turned markets into a roller coaster.
The final months of the reporting period were particularly difficult for equities amid significant market volatility in the financial markets. After U.S. government debt lost its Standard & Poor’s triple A rating for the first time in history, already anxious investors flocked to the relative safety of cash and Treasuries, despite very low short-term yields. In the end, third-quarter market turmoil more than erased stock market gains made through the first six months of 2011. In fact, the -13.87% third-quarter return for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was the biggest quarterly drop for that index since the financial meltdown in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The 2008-2009 Financial Crisis -- Where Are We Now?
There have been many media comparisons to the third quarter of 2008 recently, so I think it’s worth noting some key differences. Despite third-quarter events, equity markets are still generally ahead of where they were in the depths of the financial crisis, as the S&P 500 Index and Russell Mid-Cap Index returned an annualized 1.23% and 3.96% for the three-year period ended September 30, 2011. Also, unlike 2008, the stock market seems to be rebounding quickly, having regained much of the lost ground in the first two weeks of October.
While still high, the unemployment rate has decreased a full percentage point from its recession peak. And in a direct month-to-month comparison, the United States added 103,000 jobs in September 2011 (58,000 if you exclude the return of striking Verizon workers) versus losing 434,000 jobs in September 2008.1 In housing, builder confidence in the current market for new single-family homes as measured by the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) rose four points to 18 for October 2011--a sign that pockets of recovery in housing may be starting to emerge across the country. The HMI index is also four points higher than it was in October 2008.

Energy prices have fallen, too--after soaring to $150 a barrel, crude oil hovered around $80 a barrel at the end of September 2011. While prices at the pump did not decrease proportionately, they are lower, which is good for consumers’ wallets and oil-dependent industries. In fact, reports show retail sales have notched up in recent weeks--a sign that consumers are starting to spend a bit more freely now. And although household debt still exceeds consumers’ after-tax income, it fell 12% between its record high in September 2007 and June of this year.2 The bottom line is that economic recovery may continue to be more two-steps-forward-one-step-back rather than the straight line progress we’d all prefer, but the recovery is happening. In the meantime, the expertise of your Calvert fund managers will help guide your investments through the ups and downs that may lie ahead.
Board Diversity and Company Competitiveness
As always, we filed several shareholder resolutions this year asking companies to consider diverse candidates during their board selection. Most were successfully withdrawn after the companies agreed to add specific considerations of race, gender and ethnicity to their selection process. However, Urban Outfitters was one of two companies that opposed the resolution that we filed.
Unlike its five biggest apparel-industry competitors, Urban Outfitters doesn’t have any women or minorities on its board. This is particularly disconcerting since 53% of its North American net retail store sales in fiscal 2011 came from its Anthropologie and Free People stores for women. Of course, the Urban Outfitters flagship store heavily caters to women too. Smart companies understand the importance of having management that reflects their target audiences and Urban Outfitters is certainly missing the mark.
We pressed on and 22% of shareholders voted in favor of the resolution. The battle received a good deal of attention in the press, although it remains to be seen if the company will heed the call of its shareholders.
Your Financial Advisor Is Always Available
It’s easy to be a long-term investor when markets are strong. The challenge is to remain one when markets are going through a protracted period of uncertainty. While it may take longer than we’d like, markets have always recovered in the past and I am confident they will do so again. These cycles are simply the nature of the market.
In times like these, it’s best to stay the course, maintaining a well-diversified mix of U.S. and international stocks, bonds, and cash appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. However, if you think your financial needs or risk tolerance have changed, your financial advisor is always available to discuss your concerns.

Climate Change
As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.
As the impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent, the consequences on vulnerable, impoverished communities around the world cannot be ignored. Even with aggressive mitigation efforts, many will still experience dire effects from more severe weather-related disasters, increased food and water insecurity, increased scarcity of natural resources, and negative health effects. While many communities have begun to prepare, businesses can contribute to--and benefit from--preparation as well.
To that end, Calvert has joined with leading companies such as Entergy, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Levi Strauss, Limited Brands, Starbucks, and Swiss Re to launch the Partnership for Resilience and Environmental Preparedness (PREP) to promote business practices that help companies and communities gear up for the impact of climate change. It also advocates for public policies to mitigate climate variability, weather extremes, and other consequences of a changing climate.
Overall Shareholder Advocacy Efforts
Calvert filed 38 resolutions in the 2011 proxy season, 28 of which were successfully withdrawn after companies agreed to the terms of the resolution. The most popular topics were sustainability reporting, climate change risks, and climate principles.
Majority Vote in Director Elections
Shareholders’ role in electing a board of directors is a fundamental part of ensuring accountability. Unfortunately, many companies weaken this role by conducting elections under a plurality rather than a majority standard—which essentially means a director nominee can be elected with only his or her own affirmative vote.
Calvert filed four shareholder proposals calling for companies to adopt majority voting this year. Those at Plains Exploration and Production, Global Payments, and Agco were withdrawn after the companies agreed to the requested changes. Hansen Natural responded with minor improvements to their election process. But we felt they were insufficient, so we kept the resolution on the ballot and 48% of shareholders voted in favor of it.
Update on Board Diversity
Persuading companies to make their boards more representative of their customers, employees, and other target audiences continues to be an important initiative. In August, Calvert Senior Sustainability Analyst Aditi Mohapatra published an article in
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 7
Forbes magazine, “Are There Really Boards With No Women?” The article highlighted the fact that women still hold only 18% of corporate board posts at S&P 100 companies, despite a growing body of evidence proving the business case for diverse boards.
Also, five resolutions seeking a proactive commitment to include women and minorities as part of every board director search were filed this year. Three were successfully withdrawn before the annual meeting. The remaining two—at Urban Outfitters and American Financial Group—received strong support with 22% and 27% of shareholders votes.
First U.S. Automaker Added to Calvert Social Index
Another notable event was Ford Motor becoming the first U.S. automaker to qualify for Calvert Signature Funds and be added to the Calvert Social Index. Ford has emerged in recent years as the fuel efficiency leader among the big three U.S. auto manufacturers. A review of Ford’s key industry impacts, as well as our engagement with the company over the past four years, ensured that it met our environment, social, and governance (ESG) criteria for investment.
While we remain concerned about the overall impact of automobile companies on issues such as greenhouse emissions, we believe Ford and the foreign automakers Calvert invests in are taking meaningful steps to reduce the negative environmental impacts of their products. Of course, we will continue to seek improvement on key issues by working with senior management of all these companies.
Community Investments
Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, which is administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 One such company receiving funding through the Foundation is Seedco Financial Services, which supports small businesses in under-served communities and those owned by women and minorities such as Telecom Transport Services in Birmingham, Alabama. Last year, owner Sue Watkins landed a large contract to transport costly telecommunication equipment that required the company to move to a new warehouse, lease new equipment, and hire additional staff. A $25,000 microloan from Seedco allowed her to make the necessary investments. Now the company enjoys continued growth and is creating jobs in her community.
Special Equities
A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies that aim to provide market-rate returns while developing products or services that address

important sustainability or environmental issues.
One recent investment was PresenceLearning, a firm that provides live, online speech therapy to students via web-based video conference technology.2 A national shortage of speech therapists prevents many students with severe communication disorders from receiving therapy. Now, the company’s distributed network technology enables specialists to serve more students in a more cost-efficient manner.
Another investment was DBL Equity Fund–BAEF II, L.P.2 DBL is a women-led firm with a “Double Bottom Line” strategy to invest in companies that aim to deliver top-tier venture capital returns while working with these companies to create social, environmental, and economic improvement in the regions where they operate.
1 As of September 30, 2011, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.79%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.48%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.57%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investment-sponsored investment product.

Investment Performance
For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2011, Calvert International Opportunities Fund’s Class A shares (at NAV) returned -14.78%, underperforming the MSCI EAFE Small/Mid Cap Index’s return of -6.84% due to weak stock selection.
At the end of the third quarter, Calvert made extensive changes to the management structure of Calvert International Opportunities Fund. On September 13, 2011, the Fund’s Board of Directors voted to approve a new multi-manager structure of Advisory Research, Inc. and Trilogy Global Advisors, LP. Calvert will manage the allocation of assets among the new sub-advisors. The Fund’s portfolio was transitioned during September with all of the new holdings in place by September 30, 2011.
Investment Climate
A strong performance by equity markets in the fourth quarter of 2010 and modest gains in the first half of 2011 were largely erased by stocks’ dismal performance in the third quarter of 2011. Despite healthy earnings

from U.S. companies, macroeconomic troubles became the focus of attention and weighed on investor sentiment. Over the past four quarters, the U.S. based Standard &amp; Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index returned 1.14%. International stocks fared considerably worse with the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Index earning -16.46%. Large cap international stocks fared worse than small, with the MSCI EAFE IMI returning -8.51%, compared with the benchmark return noted above. In general, U.S. companies, led by those in the Technology and Health Care sectors, continued to show financial strength and to rely on their healthy balance sheets and impressive cash reserves for mergers and acquisitions. The eurozone crisis continued to unfold, weighed down by struggling peripheral economies. Although leaders attempted to assure investors that the proposed long-term solutions to the debt crisis were viable, the fear of contagion intensified. Germany and France braced for a Greek default by taking steps to insulate their financial institutions from large losses. While we don’t see a high probability of a Greek default driving the United States into recession, the possibility still seemed to drive market sentiment.
The S&P downgrade of U.S. government debt on August 5 was another blow to investor confidence, contributing to a global equity market sell-off and pushing U.S. Treasury yields down as risk aversion in the markets increased. The resulting equity market volatility was also fed by concerns about the political stalemate in Washington, the European sovereign debt issues, and a significant slowdown in U.S. economic growth—or, more ominously, the possibility of a double-dip recession in the United States.
European bank stocks continued to be among those most adversely impacted by the eurozone debt crisis, driven by longer-term funding stress, as well as by U.S. money market funds’ further reductions in their exposure to these banks.
After the completion of QE2 in June, the Federal Reserve (Fed) supplemented its accommodative policy with the well-timed September 21 announcement of “operation twist,” a plan to sell $400 billion in short-term Treasuries while purchasing the same amount of longer-term Treasuries. This could boost investment and refinancing in the U.S. by reducing long-term interest rates. The Fed also promised to keep interest rates low for the next two years. However, the announcement was accompanied by alarming statements about U.S. economic weakness, which further unsettled markets.
In fact, worries about anemic global economic growth intensified over the last 12 months, with U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth numbers revised down for the first half of the year to less than a 1% average annual growth rate, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 11
The most recent release of employment figures by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the unemployment rate remained at 9.1% in August. Jobs data is likely to be a lagging indicator of economic activity in this economic cycle and may not improve until other economic indicators are more firmly in positive territory.
Although the secular upward trend in commodity prices may persist in the long term, decreasing commodity prices are a positive for global economic growth in the near term. A continued price break should reduce risks of top-line inflation, lift the drag on economic growth, and provide additional stability to the Fed’s actions.
In China, the threat of inflation still looms and may make it difficult for that country and other emerging economies to implement more accommodative monetary policy in the near term. However, recent industrial production numbers in China were positive and although manufacturing data was slightly contractionary, it was not at hard landing levels.
One of the stronger headwinds to U.S. economic growth, the housing market, seems to be stabilizing, helped by historically low mortgage rates and home prices, and can provide a considerable boost to consumer confidence. The U.S. manufacturing sector continued to be strong, with the Chicago PMI and ISM Manufacturing PMI both better than expected in September.

Portfolio Strategy
The underperformance was driven by weak stock selection across all sectors except Energy, where Prosafe SE was the most significant positive contributor. Stock selection hurt the most in the Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary sectors.
Within Information Technology, companies in the IT services industry such as Eaga, Cap Gemini, and Computershare hurt, as did Vistaprint in the internet software and services industry. Oriflame was a significant detractor in Consumer Staples, while names like Esprit Holdings and Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos were negative contributors in Consumer Discretionary.

Growth of $10,000
The graph below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds without 10-year records). The results shown are for Classes A and I shares and reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end Class A sales charge of 4.75%, and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The result is compared with benchmarks that include a broad based market index and a Lipper peer group average. Market indexes are unmanaged and their results do not reflect the effect of expenses or sales charges. The Lipper average reflects the deduction of the category’s average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in a different share class would be different.

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 2.27%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 13
Sector selection for the period was an overall positive contributor. The Fund’s overweight to Utilities and Health Care added the most value to the Fund, as did the Fund’s significant underweight to Financials and Materials.
Outlook
While we may see further volatility in the equity markets, those who step in to buy the dips in a time of uncertainty could have the potential for greater returns. Combined with generally positive U.S. economic data and attractive equity valuations--the 12-month forward price/ earnings ratio for the S&P 500 Index was 10.61 after market close on September 30--as well as signs that China’s growth momentum has not stalled, we continue to believe the market can see a healthy recovery in the next few months. We remain cautiously optimistic on U.S. economic growth, albeit less so on European and global growth.
We also believe the U.S. earnings season that started in October is likely to provide positive earnings surprises and serve as a positive catalyst for the U.S. and possibly global equity markets, especially given current valuation levels, which may present some of the best buying opportunities in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled ���Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The operation of each series is accounted for separately. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges, and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors 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 of Directors. In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
At September 30, 2011, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
www. �� | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 26 |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Short-term instruments of sufficient credit quality, with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less, generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value; those for which quotations are not readily available are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of September 30, 2011:
VALUATION INPUTS | ||||||||
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||
Equity securities* | $3,799,978 | $25,574,916 | ** | - | $29,374,894 | |||
Other debt obligations | - | 1,191,839 | - | 1,191,839 | ||||
TOTAL | $3,799,978 | $26,766,755 | - | $30,566,733 |
At September 30, 2011, a significant transfer out of Level 1 and into Level 2 occured. On September 30, 2011, price movements exceeded specified parameters and the third party fair value pricing service quantitatively fair valued the affected securities.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 27
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 28 |
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used. In addition for Level 3 fair value measurements, ASU No. 2011-04 requires a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and ASU No. 2011-04 requires a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

The contractual expense cap is 1.66% for Class A, 2.50% for Class C, 1.20% for Class I, and 1.41% for Class Y. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense offset credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 29
Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay CID for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .50% and 1.00% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. The amount actually paid by the Fund is an annualized fee, payable monthly of .25% and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. Class I and Y shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses.
CID received $19,805 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2011.
Calvert Investment Services, Inc. (“CIS”) (formerly known as Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CIS received a fee of $23,557 for the year ended September 30, 2011. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $44,000 plus a meeting fee of $2,000 for each Board meeting attended. Additional fees of up to $5,000 annually may be paid to the Board chair and Committee chairs ($10,000 for the Special Equities Committee chair) and $2,500 annually may be paid to Committee members, plus a Committee meeting fee of $500 for each Committee meeting attended. Directors fees are allocated to each of the Funds served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $53,091,175 and $52,151,844, respectively.

Capital losses may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will soon be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
www. | calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT 30 |
The Fund intends to elect to defer net capital losses of $1,463,857 incurred from November 1, 2010 though September 30, 2011 and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | 2011 | 2010 |
Ordinary income | $107,492 | $73,527 |
Total | $107,492 | $73,527 |
As of September 30, 2011, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $400,180 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | (1,410,227 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | ($1,010,047 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $259,946 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($6,154,794 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $31,576,780 |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are mainly due to wash sales and the deferral of post October losses.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassification for the Fund are due to foreign currency transactions.
Undistributed net investment income | ($41,525 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 41,525 |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable),
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 37
transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on September 13, 2011, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, initially approved the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and each of Trilogy Global Advisors, LP and Advisory Research, Inc. (each a “Subadvisor” and together, the “Subadvisors”) with respect to the Fund.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the initial approval of each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with the applicable Subadvisor. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed approval of each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In evaluating each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors relating to the Subadvisors’ operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisors provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for themselves, and descriptions of their respective investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board approved the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and each of the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the applicable Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its
www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 39
deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the applicable Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by each Subadvisor under the applicable Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also considered, among other information, the Fund’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended July 31, 2011. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended July 31, 2011. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its benchmark over the same periods. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and its recommendation that the Fund’s current subadvisor be replaced with the Subadvisors in an effort to address the Fund’s underperformance. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Fund’s current subadvisor. The Board also took into account each Subadvisor’s long-term performance record with respect to the investment strategies each Subadvisor would utilize in managing the Fund. Although the Subadvisors’ investment strategies did not reflect environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) criteria, the Trustees considered the impact ESG criteria was likely to have on the composition of the investment portfolios the Subadvisors would manage for the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Fund’s performance.
In considering the estimated cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the anticipated level of profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under each Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received from the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board noted that the proposed subadvisory fees were comparable to the subadvisory fee the Advisor was paying to the Fund’s current subadvisor. The Board took into account the fees the Subadvisors charged to their other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to waive its advisory fees in an amount equal to any savings the Advisor realized from the new subadvisory arrangements. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the proposed subadvisory

fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisors’ subadvisory fees and the subadvisory fees were negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the estimated cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the anticipated level of profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Fund were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the proposed subadvisory fee schedule for one of the Subadvisors included a breakpoint that would reduce that subadvisory fee on assets above a specified asset level.
In initially approving each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies; (b) each Subadvisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) each Subadvisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Fund; (d) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Fund; and (e) the Fund’s proposed subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that the initial approval of each Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.

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

S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
