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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
For U.S. equity investors, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, was a roller-coaster ride, driven largely by shifting perceptions of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) could bring the world’s largest economy in for a soft landing, and changing expectations of how long interest rates might remain high.
During the opening two months of the period, stocks rallied on strong corporate earnings, attractive valuations, and hope the Fed might slow the pace of its interest rate hikes. But in December 2022, equities lost ground as “higher for longer” interest rate fears returned. A continuing irony throughout the period was that good economic news -- record low unemployment, strong job creation, and robust consumer spending -- was viewed as bad news for inflation and fuel for further rate hikes that would weigh on stock prices.
In January 2023, however, U.S. equities began a rally that lasted through July. The initial tailwind was ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) application that led investors to perceive AI might become the next big innovation to drive the information technology (IT) sector. As a result, IT -- one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022 -- became the standout sector of the first half of 2023. Earlier recession fears that had weighed on stock prices receded as many investors came around to the view that the U.S. economy was doing surprisingly well.
But in the final two months of the period, the bond market halted the stock market’s momentum. As it became clear the Fed would keep rates higher for longer than investors had anticipated just a few months earlier, longer term bond interest rates rose sharply. Given the potential for relatively attractive returns with lower risk than stocks, many investors shifted from equity assets to bonds. Stock prices ended on a down note as the period came to a close.
For the period as a whole, however, U.S. equity performance was strong. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 21.62%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 19.18%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index returned 26.11%.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 24.73% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the Index), which returned 27.72%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 25.34% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Of the 11 market sectors held by the Fund, all except the utilities sector delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were energy, information technology (IT), and communication services. The weakest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and health care.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an overweight position in the health care sector; stock selections and an underweight position in the communication services sector; and stock selections and an underweight position in IT, the best-performing sector within the Index during the period.
In the health care sector, the Fund’s out-of-Index position in pharmaceutical firm Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (Bristol-Myers) detracted from performance versus the Index during the period. Bristol-Myers’ stock price fell after it reported lower-than-expected second-quarter 2023 earnings and reduced future earnings projections, as two of its top-selling drugs -- blood-cancer treatment Revlimid and blood thinner Eliquis -- lost sales to generic competitors.
In the communication services sector, not owning Index component Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) -- the social media company behind Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger -- hurt returns relative to the Index during the period. Meta’s stock price doubled as advertising revenues rebounded on improved ad targeting, while profit margins exceeded expectations due to more rational spending on longer-term initiatives.
In the IT sector, the Fund’s underweight position in semiconductor firm NVIDIA Corp. (NVIDIA) detracted from Index-relative performance. NVIDIA’s share price more than doubled during the period, driven by increased demand for its high-end graphics processing units in the burgeoning artificial intelligence, or AI, industry.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an underweight position in the real estate sector, which delivered negative returns in the Index as property sales were hampered by rising mortgage rates during the period and companies cut back on office space after the pandemic. Stock selections and underweight positions in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors helped returns relative to the Index as well.
In the real estate sector, not owning Index component American Tower Corp. (American Tower), which owns and operates cellular communication towers, helped performance relative to the Index during the period. American Tower’s stock price declined in the face of rising interest rates that increased the cost of its floating-rate debt; exchange-rate fluctuations that reduced the income from its international operations; and the loss of some tower leases after T-Mobile acquired competitor Sprint and consolidated its cellular tower usage.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Calvert and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Calvert fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   
1 Russell 1000® Growth Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap growth stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large growth companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large growth companies are selected from the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization and growth style factors, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
  Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund's or oldest share class's inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/24. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example 
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,024.02 $1.07 ** 0.21%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2023, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3(1) Total
Common Stocks $ 489,287,721(2) $  — $  — $ 489,287,721
Rights  —  — 1,166 1,166

Total Investments $490,820,757 $ — $1,166 $490,821,923
    
(1) None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund.
(2) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
Level 3 assets at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended September 30, 2023 is not presented.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
D  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
E  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 (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
F  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee amounted to $531,287.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $1,505 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49%, 0.24% and 0.21% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2024. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $718,985.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM was paid administrative fees of $531,287.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $170,792 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $22,237 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2023.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2023, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $14,465 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 ($30,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 ($6,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $157,705,464 and $102,870,996, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,

Calvert
US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

During the year ended September 30, 2023, distributable earnings was decreased by $254,143 and paid-in capital was increased by $254,143 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,084,726
Deferred capital losses (9,163,602)
Net unrealized appreciation 118,375,587
Distributable earnings $111,296,711
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $9,163,602 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $5,888,514 are short-term and $3,275,088 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $372,446,411
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 129,346,514
Gross unrealized depreciation (10,971,002)
Net unrealized appreciation $118,375,512
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2023, the total value of securities on loan was $821,026 and the total value of collateral received was $835,086, comprised of cash of $115,114 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $719,972.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2023.
6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $725 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2022, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2023. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. Effective October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal, the borrowing limit was decreased to $650 million.
7  Affiliated Investments
At September 30, 2023, the value of the Fund’s investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $1,417,922, which represents 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 12-13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. 
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert US Large-Cap Growth Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing.  The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index it is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of the Fund’s peer universe and the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense universe.  Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the
32

 


Calvert

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

respective median of the Fund’s expense universe. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 13, 2023, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.

The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
For U.S. equity investors, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, was a roller-coaster ride, driven largely by shifting perceptions of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) could bring the world’s largest economy in for a soft landing, and changing expectations of how long interest rates might remain high.
During the opening two months of the period, stocks rallied on strong corporate earnings, attractive valuations, and hope the Fed might slow the pace of its interest rate hikes. But in December 2022, equities lost ground as “higher for longer” interest rate fears returned. A continuing irony throughout the period was that good economic news -- record low unemployment, strong job creation, and robust consumer spending -- was viewed as bad news for inflation and fuel for further rate hikes that would weigh on stock prices.
In January 2023, however, U.S. equities began a rally that lasted through July. The initial tailwind was ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) application that led investors to perceive AI might become the next big innovation to drive the information technology (IT) sector. As a result, IT -- one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022 -- became the standout sector of the first half of 2023. Earlier recession fears that had weighed on stock prices receded as many investors came around to the view that the U.S. economy was doing surprisingly well.
But in the final two months of the period, the bond market halted the stock market’s momentum. As it became clear the Fed would keep rates higher for longer than investors had anticipated just a few months earlier, longer term bond interest rates rose sharply. Given the potential for relatively attractive returns with lower risk than stocks, many investors shifted from equity assets to bonds. Stock prices ended on a down note as the period came to a close. 
For the period as a whole, however, U.S. equity performance was strong. The S&P 500®, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 21.62%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 19.18%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® returned 26.11%.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 10.13% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (the Index), which returned 14.44%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 10.64% during the period. 
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Of the 11 market sectors held by the Fund, all except the utilities and health care sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were industrials, information technology (IT), and materials. The weakest-performing sectors were utilities, health care, and energy.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an overweight position in the financials sector, which struggled under the weight of three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history during the period; stock selections and an underweight position in the communication services sector, the best-performing sector within the Index during the period; and an underweight position in the energy sector.
In the financials sector, not owning Index component Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (Berkshire Hathaway) detracted from Index-relative returns during the period. Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett’s Nebraska-based multinational conglomerate, posted an all-time high for its stock price in September 2023, as its core insurance businesses -- including wholly-owned subsidiary GEICO -- performed strongly, and many of its diversified holdings delivered robust earnings during the period as well.
In the communication services sector, not owning Index component Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) -- the social media company behind Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger -- hurt returns relative to the Index during the period. Meta’s stock price doubled as advertising revenues rebounded on improved ad targeting, while profit margins exceeded expectations due to more rational spending on longer-term initiatives.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an overweight position in the industrials sector; an underweight position in the health care sector; and an underweight position in the real estate sector, which delivered weak returns during the period as property sales were hampered by rising mortgage rates and companies cut back on office space after the pandemic.
In the industrials sector, an overweight position in construction and mining equipment maker Caterpillar, Inc. (Caterpillar) helped performance relative to the Index during the period. Caterpillar’s stock price reached an all-time high in September 2023 in response to the company’s cost-control efforts and increasing demand for its products, due in part to government stimulus from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Calvert and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Calvert fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   
1 Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap value stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large value companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large value companies are selected from the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization and value style factors, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
  Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund's or oldest share class's inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/24. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,024.12 $0.96 ** 0.19%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2023, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $ 1,618,715,634(1) $  — $  — $ 1,618,715,634
Short-Term Investments:

Total Investments $1,623,697,573 $ — $ — $1,623,697,573
    
(1) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee amounted to $2,071,448.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $2,805 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.

CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49%, 0.24% and 0.19% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2024. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $2,327,098.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM was paid administrative fees of $2,071,448.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $253,022 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $20,742 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2023. The Fund was also informed that EVD received less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.  
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2023, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $19,903 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 ($30,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 ($6,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $536,296,440 and $650,066,201, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2023 2022
Ordinary income $34,833,793 $54,476,500
Long-term capital gains $  — $19,643,695
During the year ended September 30, 2023, distributable earnings was decreased by $4,196,321 and paid-in capital was increased by $4,196,321
primarily due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
24

 


Calvert
US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

Undistributed ordinary income $ 25,815,041
Deferred capital losses (24,065,313)
Net unrealized appreciation 71,095,637
Distributable earnings $ 72,845,365
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $24,065,313 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $24,065,313 are short-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $1,552,602,004
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 202,060,218
Gross unrealized depreciation (130,964,649)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 71,095,569
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2023, the total value of securities on loan was $7,441,913 and the total value of collateral received was $7,664,742, comprised of cash of $1,675,456 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $5,989,286.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $1,675,456 $ — $ — $ — $1,675,456
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2023.

6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $725 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2022, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2023. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. Effective October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal, the borrowing limit was decreased to $650 million.
7  Affiliated Investments
At September 30, 2023, the value of the Fund’s investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $3,306,483, which represents 0.2% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. 
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 12-13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. 
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”). 
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
 Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert US Large-Cap Value Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index it is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s recent performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the
31

 


Calvert

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

respective median of the Fund’s expense universe. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable. 
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 13, 2023, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Calvert Funds
IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary.

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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
For global equity investors, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, was a roller-coaster ride, driven largely by shifting perceptions of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) could bring the world’s largest economy in for a soft landing, and changing expectations of how long interest rates might remain high.
During the opening two months of the period, stocks rallied on strong corporate earnings, attractive valuations, and hope the Fed might slow the pace of its interest rate hikes. But in December 2022, equities lost ground as “higher for longer” interest rate fears returned. A continuing irony throughout the period was that good economic news -- record low unemployment, strong job creation, and robust consumer spending -- was viewed as bad news for inflation and fuel for further rate hikes that would weigh on stock prices.
In January 2023, however, global equities began a rally that lasted through July. The initial tailwind was ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) application that led investors to perceive AI might become the next big innovation to drive the information technology (IT) sector. As a result, IT -- one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022 -- became the standout sector of the first half of 2023.
Earlier recession fears that had weighed on stock prices receded as many investors came around to the view that the U.S. and global economies were doing surprisingly well. European equities received an additional boost as feared continent-wide energy shortages failed to materialize during the winter.
But in the final two months of the period, the bond market halted the stock market’s momentum. As it became clear the Fed would keep rates higher for longer than investors had anticipated just a few months earlier, longer term bond interest rates rose sharply. Given the potential for relatively attractive returns with lower risk than stocks, many investors shifted from equity assets to bonds. Stock prices ended on a down note as the period came to a close.
For the period as a whole, however, global equity performance was strong. The MSCI ACWI Index®, a broad measure of global equities, returned 20.80%; the MSCI EAFE Index® of developed-market international equities returned 25.65%; and the S&P 500®, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 21.62%.
Meanwhile, in the world’s second-largest economy, performance was not as strong. The MSCI Golden Dragon Index®, a measure of Chinese large-cap and mid-cap stocks, was one of the weakest performing major global indexes, returning 8.80% during the period. The Chinese equity market was dogged by an ailing real estate sector -- the major investment area for millions of Chinese citizens -- and a failure of many Chinese industries to bounce back after onerous COVID restrictions were lifted.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 24.06% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the MSCI World ex-USA Index (the Index), which returned 24.00%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert International Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 24.22% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
All of the 11 market sectors held by the Fund delivered positive performance, with nearly all sectors posting double-digit returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were information technology (IT), consumer discretionary, and financials. The weakest-performing sectors were consumer staples, communication services, and real estate -- with real estate being the only sector to post single-digit returns, as property sales were hampered by rising mortgage rates and post-COVID office space cutbacks.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the Index was due in part to an overweight position in the IT sector. Fueled by excitement about new artificial intelligence (AI) programs and applications, IT was the strongest-performing sector within the Index and the Fund during the period.
In the IT sector, the Fund’s out-of-Index position in Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (Samsung) was the largest individual stock contributor to Index-relative returns. Samsung, one of the world’s biggest producers of semiconductors, saw its stock price rise dramatically as memory chip prices rebounded during the period and demand for powerful computing chips rose with the boom in AI.
Stock selections in the materials sector helped performance versus the Index as well. Significant contributors to relative returns included the Fund’s out-of-Index positions in South Korean steel maker POSCO Holdings, Inc. -- whose battery materials business benefited from strong demand for lithium -- and U.K.-headquartered Linde Plc. -- one of the world’s largest suppliers of industrial gases.
Stock selections and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector, which underperformed the Index, also contributed to Index-relative returns during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance — continued

In contrast, security selections in the industrials sector detracted from Fund performance versus the Index. Not owning Japanese industrial conglomerate Mitsubishi Corp. and European aerospace firm Airbus SE -- two Index positions that performed well during the period -- hampered Index-relative returns.
An underweight position in the energy sector also detracted from performance versus the Index. As rising oil prices during the period boosted stock returns in the energy sector, not owning strong-performing Index positions -- including France-based TotalEnergies SE, U.K.-headquartered Shell Plc., and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. -- dragged on Index-relative returns during the period.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert International Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies that are located in countries (other than the U.S.) with developed markets.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Board has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee amounted to $912,104.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $2,691 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.54%, 0.29% and 0.26% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2024. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $783,810. 
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM was paid administrative fees of $912,104.

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $176,482 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $4,358 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and $8 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2023.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2023, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $18,013 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 ($30,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 ($6,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $234,633,201 and $151,742,337, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2023 2022
Ordinary income $13,171,793 $13,482,824
During the year ended September 30, 2023, accumulated loss was increased by $2,163,215 and paid-in capital was increased by $2,163,215 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 16,221,276
Deferred capital losses (28,602,878)
Net unrealized depreciation (3,370,510)
Accumulated loss $(15,752,112)
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $28,602,878 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $14,441,206 are short-term and $14,161,672 are long-term.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $836,144,478
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 57,230,277
Gross unrealized depreciation (60,565,958)
Net unrealized depreciation $ (3,335,681)
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2023, the total value of securities on loan was $39,016,910 and the total value of collateral received was $41,039,551, comprised of cash of $18,656,507 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $22,383,044.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $18,656,507 $ — $ — $ — $18,656,507
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2023.
6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $725 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2022, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2023. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. Effective October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal, the borrowing limit was decreased to $650 million.

9  Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert International Responsible Index Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 12-13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser.  The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates.  Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds.  Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings.  During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements.  In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert International Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.  Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.  The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports.  The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources.  The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing.  The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser.  The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies.  The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index it is designed to track.  The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022.  This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track for the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, while it had outperformed the median of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022.  The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.  Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense universe.  Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each at the
34

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

respective median of the Fund’s expense universe.  The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses.  Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate.  In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation.  The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services.  The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund.  Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time.  The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 13, 2023, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
For U.S. equity investors, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, was a roller-coaster ride, driven largely by shifting perceptions of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) could bring the world’s largest economy in for a soft landing, and changing expectations of how long interest rates might remain high.
During the opening two months of the period, stocks rallied on strong corporate earnings, attractive valuations, and hope the Fed might slow the pace of its interest rate hikes. But in December 2022, equities lost ground as “higher for longer” interest rate fears returned. A continuing irony throughout the period was that good economic news -- record low unemployment, strong job creation, and robust consumer spending -- was viewed as bad news for inflation and fuel for further rate hikes that would weigh on stock prices.
In January 2023, however, U.S. equities began a rally that lasted through July. The initial tailwind was ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) application that led investors to perceive AI might become the next big innovation to drive the information technology (IT) sector. As a result, IT -- one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022 -- became the standout sector of the first half of 2023. Earlier recession fears that had weighed on stock prices receded as many investors came around to the view that the U.S. economy was doing surprisingly well.
But in the final two months of the period, the bond market halted the stock market’s momentum. As it became clear the Fed would keep rates higher for longer than investors had anticipated just a few months earlier, longer term bond interest rates rose sharply. Given the potential for relatively attractive returns with lower risk than stocks, many investors shifted from equity assets to bonds. Stock prices ended on a down note as the period came to a close.
For the period as a whole, however, U.S. equity performance was strong. The S&P 500®, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 21.62%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 19.18%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® returned 26.11%. 
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 11.63% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index (the Index), which returned 13.45%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 12.01% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Of the 11 market sectors held by the Fund, all except the utilities and communication services sectors delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were energy, industrials, and consumer discretionary. The weakest-performing sectors were utilities, communication services, and financials.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an overweight position in the financials sector, which struggled under the weight of three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history during the period; stock selections in the information technology (IT) sector; and an underweight position in the energy sector.
In the financials sector, not owning Index component Apollo Global Management, Inc. (Apollo) detracted from returns relative to the Index during the period. New York-based private equity firm Apollo outperformed most of its peers in the financials sector during the period, with its stock price reaching an all-time high in September 2023.
In the IT sector, not owning Index component Palantir Technologies, Inc. (Palantir) detracted from Index-relative performance during the period. Software firm Palantir, which specializes in big data analytics, saw its stock price nearly double during the period, boosted by investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, or AI, that drove a technology stock rally during the first half of 2023.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an underweight position in the real estate sector, which delivered negative returns in the Index during the period as property sales were hampered by rising mortgage rates and companies cut back on office space after the pandemic. An overweight position in the industrials sector and stock selections in the materials sector helped returns relative to the Index as well.
In the materials sector, not owning Index component Albemarle Corp. (Albemarle), a North Carolina-headquartered specialty chemicals firm that is one of the world’s largest producers of lithium, helped performance versus the Index. Albemarle’s stock price sank as the price of lithium, a key component of electric vehicle batteries, declined during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Calvert and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Calvert fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   
1 Russell Midcap® Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. mid-cap stocks. Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of the common stocks of mid-size companies that operate their businesses in a manner that is consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Mid-size companies are selected from the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization, excluding real estate investment trusts, business development companies and approximately the 200 largest publicly traded U.S. companies. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
  Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund's or oldest share class's inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/24. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example 
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class R6 $1,000.00 $1,024.07 $1.01 ** 0.20%
    
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of mid-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2023, based on the inputs used to value them:
Asset Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3(1) Total
Common Stocks $ 416,089,103(2) $  — $  — $ 416,089,103
Rights  —  — 2,652 2,652

Total Investments $417,286,198 $ — $2,652 $417,288,850
    
(1) None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund.
(2) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
Level 3 assets at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended September 30, 2023 is not presented.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  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 (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2  Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee amounted to $494,948.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $1,685 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.49%, 0.24% and 0.20% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2024. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $736,803.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2023, CRM was paid administrative fees of $494,948.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $157,457 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $4,903 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2023.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2023, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $53,436 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 ($30,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 ($6,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3  Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $160,873,481 and $103,975,035, respectively.
4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2023 2022
Ordinary income $3,685,477 $6,043,599
Long-term capital gains $  — $3,614,122
During the year ended September 30, 2023, accumulated loss was increased by $469,047 and paid-in capital was increased by $469,047  due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund
September 30, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued

As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 3,206,289
Deferred capital losses (13,247,275)
Net unrealized appreciation 8,563,720
Accumulated loss $ (1,477,266)
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $13,247,275 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $8,002,144 are short-term and $5,245,131 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $408,725,204
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 49,152,972
Gross unrealized depreciation (40,589,326)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 8,563,646
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2023, the total value of securities on loan was $4,271,071 and the total value of collateral received was $4,360,307, comprised of cash of $727,130 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $3,633,177.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2023.

6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $725 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2022, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2023. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. Effective October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal, the borrowing limit was decreased to $650 million.

At September 30, 2023, the value of the Fund’s investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $469,965, which represents 0.1% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 12-13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. 
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
 A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
 A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
 A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
 Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
 For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
  Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
 Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
  Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
 Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
 Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
 Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
 A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued

Other Relevant Information
 Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
 The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert US Mid-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and the index it is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, while it had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This performance data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were above the median of the Fund’s expense universe and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were below the median of the Fund’s expense universe. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 13, 2023, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Economic and Market Conditions
For U.S. equity investors, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, was a roller-coaster ride, driven largely by shifting perceptions of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) could bring the world’s largest economy in for a soft landing, and changing expectations of how long interest rates might remain high.
During the opening two months of the period, stocks rallied on strong corporate earnings, attractive valuations, and hope the Fed might slow the pace of its interest rate hikes. But in December 2022, equities lost ground as “higher for longer” interest rate fears returned. A continuing irony throughout the period was that good economic news -- record low unemployment, strong job creation, and robust consumer spending -- was viewed as bad news for inflation and fuel for further rate hikes that would weigh on stock prices.
In January 2023, however, U.S. equities began a rally that lasted through July. The initial tailwind was ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) application that led investors to perceive AI might become the next big innovation to drive the information technology (IT) sector. As a result, IT -- one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022 -- became the standout sector of the first half of 2023. Earlier recession fears that had weighed on stock prices receded as many investors came around to the view that the U.S. economy was doing surprisingly well.
But in the final two months of the period, the bond market halted the stock market’s momentum. As it became clear the Fed would keep rates higher for longer than investors had anticipated just a few months earlier, longer term bond interest rates rose sharply. Given the potential for relatively attractive returns with lower risk than stocks, many investors shifted from equity assets to bonds. Stock prices ended on a down note as the period came to a close.
For the period as a whole, however, U.S. equity performance was strong. The S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned 21.62%; the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® returned 19.18%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index returned 26.11%.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) returned 20.08% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index (the Index), which returned 21.19%; and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index (the Calvert Index), which returned 20.72% during the period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Calvert Index was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Index does not incur.
Of the 11 market sectors held by the Fund, all sectors except utilities delivered positive returns during the period. The strongest-performing sectors were energy, information technology (IT), and industrials. The weakest-performing sectors were utilities, consumer staples, and health care.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included stock selections and an underweight position in the communication services sector; stock selections and an overweight position in the financials sector, which struggled under the weight of three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history; and an underweight position in the energy sector, which benefited from rising oil prices during the period.
In the communication services sector, not owning Index component Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) -- the social media giant behind Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger -- detracted from returns relative to the Index during the period. Meta’s stock price doubled during the period as advertising revenues rebounded on improved ad targeting, while profit margins exceeded expectations due to more rational spending on longer-term initiatives.
In the financials sector, not owning Index component Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (Berkshire Hathaway) detracted from Index-relative returns during the period. Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett’s Nebraska-based multinational conglomerate, posted an all-time high for its stock price in September 2023, as its core insurance businesses -- including wholly-owned subsidiary GEICO -- performed strongly, and many of its diversified holdings delivered robust earnings during the period as well.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index included an overweight position in the IT sector, the best-performing sector within the Index during the period; an underweight position in the real estate sector, which delivered negative returns as property sales were hampered by rising mortgage rates and companies cut back on office space after the pandemic; and stock selections in the industrials sector.
In the IT sector, Index-relative performance benefited from the Fund’s overweight position in semiconductor firm NVIDIA Corp. (NVIDIA), whose share price more than doubled during the period. NVIDIA’s strong stock performance was driven by increased demand for its high-end graphics processing units in the burgeoning artificial intelligence, or AI, industry.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Calvert and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Calvert fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   
1 Russell 1000® Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. large-cap stocks. Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index (the “Calvert Index”) is composed of common stocks of large companies that operate their businesses in a manner consistent with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Large companies are the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on market capitalization, excluding real estate investment trusts and business development companies. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment serve as a framework for considering environmental, social and governance factors that may affect investment performance. Stocks are weighted in the Calvert Index based on their float-adjusted market capitalization within the relevant sector, subject to certain prescribed limits. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class R6 is linked to Class I. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.
  Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The average annual total returns listed for Class C reflect conversion to Class A shares after eight years. Prior to November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Calvert Research and Management became the investment adviser to the Fund on December 31, 2016. Performance reflected prior to such date is that of the Fund’s former investment adviser.
3 Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 1/31/24. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. Performance reflects expenses waived and/or reimbursed, if applicable. Without such waivers and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2023.
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by affiliate(s), expenses would be higher.

September 30, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements

1  Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.25% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors.  Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A  Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

(1) None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund.
(2) The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments.
Level 3 assets at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended September 30, 2023 is not presented.
B  Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C  Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D  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 (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
E  Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F  Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G   Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H  Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2023, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $134,694 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $214,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 ($30,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 ($6,000 prior to January 1, 2023) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.

4  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was as follows:
  Year Ended September 30,
  2023 2022
Ordinary income $43,473,178 $39,184,831
Long-term capital gains $  — $12,303,235
During the year ended September 30, 2023, distributable earnings was decreased by $3,506,171 and paid-in capital was increased by $3,506,171 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ 34,040,896
Deferred capital losses (44,614,901)
Net unrealized appreciation 1,570,541,799
Distributable earnings $1,559,967,794
At September 30, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $44,614,901 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2023, $44,614,901 are short-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $2,690,837,386
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 1,735,251,608
Gross unrealized depreciation (164,709,809)
Net unrealized appreciation $1,570,541,799
5  Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2023, the total value of securities on loan was $8,687,811 and the total value of collateral received was $8,858,671, comprised of cash of $965,433 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $7,893,238.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.
  Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions
  Overnight and
Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $965,433 $ — $ — $ — $965,433
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2023.
6  Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $725 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2022, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2023. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. Effective October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal, the borrowing limit was decreased to $650 million.
7  Affiliated Investments
At September 30, 2023, the value of the Fund’s investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $12,339,221, which represents 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Calvert Responsible Index Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. 
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 12-13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period. 
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”). 
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices;
For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs;
Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions;
Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”;
Information about the Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters;

Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and
The terms of each investment advisory agreement.
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s performance universe and the index it is designed to track. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, while it had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. This data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed the index it is designed to track for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and the index it is designed to track.

Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the respective median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable. 
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines “liquidity risk” as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund’s liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors on June 13, 2023, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund’s Board of Trustees/ Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator’s ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

The “noninterested Directors” consist of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Corporation, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. The business address of each Board member and the Chief Compliance Officer is 2050 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20036 and the business address of the Secretary, Vice President and Chief Legal Officer and the Treasurer is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert at 1-800-368-2745 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy Voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Tailored Shareholder Reports. Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require open-end mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Calvert Funds.

Item 2. Code of Ethics

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics applicable to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. The registrant undertakes to provide a copy of such code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, by calling 1-800-368-2745. The registrant has not amended the code of ethics as described in Form N-CSR during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics as described in Form N-CSR during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Miles D. Harper III, an “independent” Director serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.


The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

(a) –(d)

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the registrant’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023 by its principal accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and fees billed for other services rendered by its principal accountant during such periods.

Percentage of fees approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Reg. S-X (statutory de minimus waiver of Committee’s requirement to pre-approve).

All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than audit, audit-related, and tax services.

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