Dear Contract Holder,

On behalf of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds, we would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report provides you with information about the investments of your Subaccounts(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be made available to all contract holders invested in the Subaccount(s), and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Subaccounts(s) for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last fiscal year of the Subaccounts to provide a context for reading this report. The period began with equity prices near all-time highs following the immense levels of economic and market volatility created during the first year of the COVID-19 global pandemic. As the year progressed vaccines displayed strong effectiveness in helping to reduce virus cases and the market benefitted from a combination of strong corporate earnings growth and continuing accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”). This enabled major stock indexes to reach new highs throughout the year, and with the Fed providing large amounts of liquidity to the bond markets on a monthly basis, short term rates remained close to zero and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield peaked at 1.74% at the end of March 2021 before declining to finish the year at 1.52%.

The U.S. economy exhibited strong economic growth in the first two quarters of 2021, and by mid-year aggregate real gross domestic product (“GDP”) had fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. However, inflation began to emerge and by late spring the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) reached rates not seen in decades. In the summer months global supply chain constraints emerged, driven in part by worker shortages, further exacerbating inflation. By November, the CPI increase had risen to 6.9% on an annualized basis for its highest reading in 39 years.

Credit markets showed strong and continued improvement throughout the year, and by the fourth quarter high yield default rates had fallen to record low levels. This was reflected in narrowing credit spreads throughout the year, with differentials in yield between both high yield and investment grade credit to comparable maturity Treasury bonds declining to multi-year lows.

The year ended with the onset of the Omicron variant driving COVID-19 case trends dramatically higher and to record levels. This increase in virus cases was perceived to be inflationary due to its impact on worker shortages. At its December meeting the Fed changed perspective, admitting that inflation was not “transitory” and warranted tighter monetary policy, in terms of both interest rates and the removal of open market purchases in the year ahead. As a result, investors began to look forward to the New Year with expectations of continuing inflation and higher interest rates.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the S&P 500® Index returned 28.71% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned 11.78%. During the same period, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returned -1.54%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial professional is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial professionals are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial professional, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline and your risk tolerance.

Please contact your financial professional if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

UNIT HOLDER EXPENSES

Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (each individually, a “Subaccount” and collectively, the “Subaccounts”) is a separate investment account established by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, Inc. (“TFLIC”), and is used as an investment vehicle under certain tax-deferred annuity contracts issued by TFLIC. Each Subaccount invests in underlying subaccounts of Transamerica Variable Funds (“TVF”), a unit investment trust. Subaccount contract holders bear the costs of operating the Subaccount (such as the advisory fee).

The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Subaccounts and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2021, and held for the entire six-month period until December 31, 2021.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Subaccounts’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Subaccounts’ actual returns. 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 your Subaccount versus 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2021

 

1. ORGANIZATION

Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (the “Separate Account”), is a non-diversified separate account of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“TFLIC”), and is registered as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Separate Account applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The Separate Account is composed of three different subaccounts (each, a “Subaccount” and collectively, the “Subaccounts”) that are separate investment funds and are as follows. Each Subaccount invests substantially all of its investable assets among certain Transamerica Variable Funds (“TVF”). Certain TVF subaccounts invest substantially all of their investable assets in underlying series of Transamerica Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

 

Subaccount

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Short Horizon Subaccount (“Short Horizon”)

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon Subaccount (“Intermediate Horizon”)

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount (“Intermediate/Long Horizon”)

The only shareholders of the Separate Account are contract holders of the affiliated insurance company variable life and annuity contracts.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment adviser for the Subaccounts pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment advisory services to the Subaccounts. TAM supervises each Subaccount’s investments and conducts its investment program.

TAM is responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day management of the Subaccounts.

TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Subaccounts. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Subaccounts and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Subaccounts by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Subaccounts from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of the Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Subaccount investments; assisting with Subaccount combinations and liquidations: oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Subaccounts’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Subaccounts; assisting the Subaccounts in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Subaccounts’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Subaccounts.

For each of the Funds, TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and has hired sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the Subaccounts’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Subaccounts.

Security transactions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Net realized gain (loss) is from investments in units of investment companies.

Operating expenses: The Separate Account accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Subaccount. Each Subaccount will indirectly bear the fees and expenses reflected in the corresponding TVF unit value. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses within the Statements of Operations of the Subaccount and are not included in the Expenses to average net assets, and Net investment income (loss) to average net assets within the Financial Highlights.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Subaccounts enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Subaccounts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Subaccounts and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Subaccounts expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The value of each Subaccount’s investment in a corresponding TVF subaccount is valued at the TVF unit value per share at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Subaccounts utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include the Subaccounts’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the “practical expedient” have not been classified in the fair value Levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Subaccounts’ investments at December 31, 2021, is disclosed within the Investment Valuation section of each Subaccount’s Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Fair value measurements: Each Subaccount invests substantially all of its investable assets among certain TVF subaccounts and the TVF subaccounts invest all of their investable assets in the Funds. The summary of the inputs used for valuing each Fund’s assets carried at fair value is discussed in the Investment Valuation section of the Funds’ Notes to Financial Statements. Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Subaccounts’ significant categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Investment companies: Certain investment companies are valued at the NAV as the practical expedient. These investment companies are not included within the fair value hierarchy. Certain other investment companies are valued at the actively traded NAV and no valuation adjustments are applied. These investment companies are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

4. RISK FACTOR

Investing in the Subaccounts involves certain key risks related to the Subaccounts’ trading activity. Please reference the Subaccounts’ prospectus for a more complete discussion of the following risk(s), as well as other risks of investing in the Subaccounts.

Market risk: The market values of a Subaccount’s securities and other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or interventions, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, political developments, investor sentiment, public health emergencies such as a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. The market prices of securities and other assets also may go down due to events or conditions that affect particular sectors, industries or issuers. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities or other assets.

Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events, terrorism, technology and data interruptions, natural disasters, and other circumstances in one or more countries or regions could be highly disruptive to, and have profound impacts on, global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not a Subaccount invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of a Subaccount’s investments may go down.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At December 31, 2021

 

4. RISK FACTOR (continued)

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial market disruption around the world, including the U.S. There have been periods of extreme volatility, and periods where there have been no buyers for certain securities, including U.S. Treasury securities. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. The pandemic has reduced liquidity of particular investments and asset classes; resulted in significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disrupted supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability; and restricted travel. These conditions may continue for an extended period of time, or worsen. The pandemic may result in a sustained domestic or global economic downturn or recession. Developing or emerging market countries may be more adversely impacted. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known.

The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, have taken extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The long-term consequences of this level of public debt are not known. In addition, certain interest rates have been reduced to very low levels. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.

The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the value and liquidity of a Subaccount’s investments, impair a Subaccount’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact a Subaccount’s performance.

5. FEES AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

TAM, the Subaccounts’ investment adviser, is directly owned by Transamerica Life Insurance Company (“TLIC”) and AUSA Holding, LLC (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon NV. TLIC is owned by Commonwealth General Corporation (“Commonwealth”). Commonwealth and AUSA are wholly owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is wholly owned by Aegon International B.V., which is wholly owned by Aegon NV, a Netherlands corporation, and a publicly traded international insurance group.

The Subaccounts purchase interests in the TVF, which in turn, purchase interests in the Funds. The net assets of the Subaccounts will reflect the investment management fee and other expenses incurred by the Funds. TAM serves as the investment manager to each Fund.

All Subaccount holdings in investment companies are considered affiliated. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are broken out within the Statements of Operations.

Investment advisory fees: TAM provides general investment advice to each Subaccount pursuant to the investment advisory agreement. For its services, each Subaccount pays advisory fees accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of each Subaccount’s daily average net assets.

TFLIC is the legal holder of the assets in the Subaccounts and will at all times maintain assets in the Subaccounts with a total market value of at least equal to the contract liabilities for the Subaccounts.

Certain managing board members and officers of TFLIC are also trustees, officers, or employees of TAM or its affiliates. No interested managing board member, who is deemed an interested person due to current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM receives compensation from the Separate Account. Similarly, none of the Separate Account’s officers or interested trustees receive compensation from the Subaccounts. The independent board members of TFLIC are also trustees of the Funds, for which they receive fees.

Deferred compensation plan: Effective September 23, 2021, the Board has approved the termination of the deferred compensation plan. Payments will be made to applicable current and former Board members consistent with Section 409A of the Code. Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, as amended and restated January 1, 2010, available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Separate Account to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee.

Brokerage commissions: The Subaccounts incurred no brokerage commissions on security transactions placed with affiliates of the investment manager or sub-adviser(s) for the year ended December 31, 2021.

TFLIC does not expect, based upon current tax law, to incur any income tax upon the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this expectation, no charges are currently being deducted from the Separate Account for federal income tax purposes. The Subaccounts recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Subaccounts’ tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Subaccounts’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Subaccounts’ financial statements. If applicable, the Subaccounts recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations. The Subaccounts identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Subaccounts make significant investments; however, the Subaccounts are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 30, 2020, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), the investment manager of the funds, entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to expense recaptures. The recaptures at issue, which TAM self-reported to the SEC, involved amounts previously voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed to four money market funds to prevent the funds from experiencing a negative yield. In some cases recaptures under the voluntary yield waiver arrangements exceeded contractual expense limits. The recaptured amounts were not reflected in the funds’ prospectus fee tables. The funds involved were Transamerica Government Money Market, Transamerica BlackRock Government Money Market VP, Transamerica Partners Government Money Market and Transamerica Partners Institutional Government Money Market. The two Transamerica Partners Government Money Market funds reorganized into Transamerica Government Money Market in October of 2017.

Under the settlement order, TAM agreed to pay affected fund investors approximately $5.3 million in disgorgement and approximately $690,000 in prejudgment interest. These amounts represent expenses incurred above the applicable expense limit (plus interest). TAM was also censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain statutory provisions and SEC rules. The settlement order imposes no civil penalty on TAM based upon TAM having self-reported the matter, the prompt remedial steps taken by TAM, and TAM’s cooperation in the SEC staff’s investigation. The settlement order does not affect TAM’s ability to manage the funds.

The foregoing is only a brief summary of the settlement order. A copy of the settlement order is available on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

The settlement had no impact on the Subaccounts’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company and the Contract holders of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (the “Separate Account”) (comprising Transamerica Asset Allocation – Short Horizon Subaccount, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon Subaccount and Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount) (collectively referred to as the “Subaccounts”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements 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 five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Subaccounts comprising Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds at December 31, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Subaccounts’ financial statements 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 Separate Account 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Separate Account’s 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 Separate Account’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, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management of the Trust

Board Members and Officers

The members of the Board (“Board Members”) and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

“Interested Board Member” means a board member who may be deemed an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as “Interested Trustees.” “Independent Board Member” means a Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Board governs each Fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each Fund and the operation of each Fund by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each Fund’s assets by the Investment Manager and the sub-advisers.

The Funds are among the funds managed and sponsored by TAM (collectively, “Transamerica Fund Family”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of (i) Transamerica Funds (“TF”); (ii) Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”); (iii) Transamerica ETF Trust (“TET”) and (iv) Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (“TAAVF”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of 118 funds as of the date of this Annual Report. With the exception of Mr. Smit, none of the Board Members serve on the board of trustees of TET. TET is overseen by a separate board of trustees.

The mailing address of each Board Member is c/o Secretary, 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, Colorado 80202.

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.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

 

Economic and Market Conditions

The 12-month period ended December 31, 2021, was notable for a U.S. equity rally that lasted most of the year. Broad-market indexes posted strong returns as investors cheered the reopening of businesses affected by the pandemic and the rollout of several highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. The virus, however, continued to have a firm grip on the U.S. economy. Global supply-chain disruptions combined with high demand led to higher year- over- year inflation than the U.S. had seen in decades.

Still, investor optimism about a recovering economy drove stock prices up during most of the period. A significant pullback occurred in September 2021 when virtually every major U.S. stock index reported negative returns. Unexpectedly weak job creation in August and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) announcement that it might soon begin tapering its monthly bond purchases combined to drive stock prices lower.

In the final quarter of 2021, however, stock prices came roaring back. Even news in November of a more transmissible COVID-19 variant — Omicron — caused only a temporary market retreat. The Fed’s actions to tamp down inflation were applauded by investors, with stocks gaining ground after the central bank announced that tapering would be accelerated and that three interest rate hikes were forecast for 2022. Just two trading days before year-end, the S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market, closed at its 70th all-time high for the period.

Performance of fixed-income asset classes, meanwhile, ebbed and flowed as the virus advanced and retreated. For the period as a whole, low interest rates across the fixed-income spectrum made equities in general a more attractive investment. The bond assets that fared best during the period were those that stood to benefit from a U.S. and global economic revival, while so-called “safe-haven” assets fared worst as investors appeared to become more comfortable taking on increased risk.

As a result, U.S. Treasury’s were one of the worst-performing fixed-income asset classes during the period, with the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index returning (2.32)%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of the U.S. fixed-income market, was dragged down in part by its Treasury component and returned (1.54)%. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index fared modestly better, but still declined 1.04%.

High yield bonds, in contrast, were a standout asset class during the period. Several industries prominent within the high yield space — airlines, restaurants, retail, and travel & leisure — were

among the hardest-hit businesses early in the pandemic and the biggest beneficiaries of the subsequent economic recovery. Reflecting investors’ increasing confidence in the recovery, as well as their search for yield in a historically low-yield environment, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 5.28% during the period.

Fund Performance

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021, Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio (the Fund) returned 15.12% for Class I shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index (the Index), which returned 26.45%. The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark, an internally constructed benchmark composed of a blend of 60% Russell 1000® Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Bond Index), which returned 14.62% during the period.

Stock selections in the consumer discretionary, information technology, and energy sectors within the equity portion of the Fund detracted from performance relative to the Index during the period.

The Fund’s underweight exposure to Nvidia Corp. (Nvidia) detracted from performance relative to the Index. Nvidia’s stock price more than doubled as the company, a designer of graphics processing units, was well-positioned in a strong growth market — the semiconductor industry, including automotive, data center, gaming, and metaverse businesses.

The Fund’s ownership of Amazon.com, Inc. (Amazon) also detracted from relative returns during the period. Amazon’s stock price fell as the company’s growth decelerated from its peak reached during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stock price was also hurt by the company’s substantial reinvestment of profits.

The Fund’s overweight exposure to equities relative to its target allocation — 60% equities and 40% fixed-income — contributed to performance relative to the Index. Security selection and sector allocation within the fixed-income portion of the Fund also contributed to relative returns. Within the equity portion of the Fund, stock selections in the health care and communications services sectors further enhanced relative performance during the period.

Tradeweb Markets, Inc. (Tradeweb), a provider of electronic over-the-counter marketplaces for fixed-income and other investment products, contributed to returns relative to the Index. Tradeweb’s stock price rose as the company gained significant market share in the trading of high-grade and high yield bonds. Investors also drove Tradeweb’s stock price up in anticipation of higher interest rates, which could accelerate trading activities.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance 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.

Microsoft Corp. (Microsoft) contributed to relative returns during the period. Its stock price rose as the technology company continued to grow despite expectations that such a large company’s growth must inevitably slow. The ongoing trend toward the use of cloud computing was an important contributor to Microsoft’s market strength.

In the fixed-income portion of the Fund, security selections within investment-grade corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities were especially beneficial to returns during the period relative to the Bond Index. The fixed-income portion’s overweight exposure to asset-backed securities and investment-grade corporate bonds also contributed to performance relative to the Bond Index.

The use of derivatives had a modest positive impact on relative returns during the period.

Fund Expenses

 

 

Example

As a Fund shareholder, you incur 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 (July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021).

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 expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) or qualified pension or retirement plans (Qualified Plans) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and Qualified Plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts or Qualified Plans. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts or Qualified Plans were included, your costs would have been 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 184/365 (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 June 30, 2021. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges or direct expenses of Qualified Plans.

The percentage shown for each investment category in the Schedule of Investments is based on net assets.

 

(1) 

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At December 31, 2021, the aggregate value of these securities is $66,382,965 or 14.5% of the Fund’s net assets.

 

(2) 

Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at December 31, 2021.

 

(3) 

Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly. Rate shown is the rate at December 31, 2021.

 

(4) 

Step coupon security. Interest rate represents the rate in effect at December 31, 2021.

 

(5)

(7)

(8)

(9) 

Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside the United States.

(12) 

Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold.

 

(13) 

Build America Bond. Represents taxable municipal obligation issued pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support.

The actual principal amount and maturity date are determined upon settlement. (15) Affiliated investment company, available to Calvert portfolios and funds, which invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of December 31, 2021.

 

(16)

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Variable 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 provide a competitive total return through an actively managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments which offer income and capital growth opportunity.

Shares of the Fund are sold without sales charge to insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans and other eligible investors. The Fund offers Class I and Class F shares. Among other things, each class has different: (a) dividend rates due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses; (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

A Investment Valuation — Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ 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.

Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Calvert Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Calvert Research and Management (CRM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.

Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

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 December 31, 2021, based on the inputs used to value them:

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, which includes

Table of Contents

amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Deflation adjustments to the principal amount of an inflation-adjusted bond or note are reflected as reductions to interest income to the extent of interest income previously recorded on such bond or note.

C Share Class Accounting — Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.

D 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 Senior Floating-Rate Loans — The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.

F Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments, if any, are disclosed in the accompanying Schedule of Investments.

G Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade, which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange, and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund.

H Options Contracts — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Fund’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. As the purchaser of an index option, the Fund has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the exercise price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Purchased options traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.

I Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Both types of distributions are made in shares of the Fund unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. 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.

J 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.

K 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.

L 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.

M When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery, when-issued or forward commitment basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A forward purchase commitment may be closed by entering into an offsetting commitment. If an offsetting commitment is entered into, the Fund will realize a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Fund entered into the commitment.

The investment advisory fee is earned by CRM as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. On March 1, 2021, Morgan Stanley acquired Eaton Vance Corp. (the “Transaction”) and CRM became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund entered into a new investment advisory agreement (the “New Agreement”) with CRM, which took effect on March 1, 2021. Pursuant to the New Agreement (and the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with CRM in effect prior to March 1, 2021), the fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Annual Fee

Up to and including $500 million

     0.41

Over $500 million up to and including $1 billion

     0.36

Over $1 billion

     0.325

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the investment advisory fee amounted to $1,812,900 or 0.41% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund may invest its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. CRM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

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 I and Class F and is payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2021, CRM was paid administrative fees of $530,605.

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class F shares (Class F Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class F 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 F shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund, as well as for personal and/or account maintenance services provided to the class shareholders. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $25,568 for Class F shares.

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 December 31, 2021, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $900 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 $154,000 ($214,000 effective January 1, 2022), plus an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee. The Board chair receives an additional $30,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee.

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 Shareholder Servicing Plan

The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan), which permits the Fund to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with intermediaries that maintain accounts in the Fund for the benefit of shareholders. These services may include, but are not limited to, processing purchase and redemption requests, processing dividend payments, and providing account information to shareholders. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.11% of its average daily net assets.

7 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 December 31, 2021, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $5,510,038 and the total value of collateral received was $5,631,631, comprised of cash of $2,821,888 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $2,809,743.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at December 31, 2021 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 December 31, 2021.

8 Line of Credit

The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in an $800 million unsecured line of credit with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 25, 2022. 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 2021, 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 pursuant to its line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2021.

9 Affiliated Issuers and Funds

The Fund invested in issuers that may be deemed to be affiliated with Morgan Stanley. At December 31, 2021, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated issuers and funds was $1,967,671, which represents 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets.

11 Risks and Uncertainties

Pandemic Risk

An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund’s performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

12 Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On July 30, 2021, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) informed the Audit Committee and Board of the Corporation that it was resigning as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Corporation, as upon Morgan Stanley’s acquisition of Eaton Vance Corp., the parent company of CRM (the investment adviser to each series of the Corporation), KPMG would no longer be independent of the Corporation. The Audit Committee of the Board and the Board approved the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the funds that are series of the Corporation (the “Funds”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 to be effective upon KPMG’s resignation and Deloitte’s acceptance of the engagement which became effective July 30, 2021.

KPMG’s reports on the financial statements for the Funds for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and during the subsequent interim period through July 30, 2021: (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Funds’ financial statements for such periods; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and during the subsequent interim period through July 30, 2021: neither the Funds, nor anyone on their behalf, consulted with Deloitte on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Series, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Calvert Variable Series, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year 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 December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 18, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on that financial statement and 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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and selling or agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. 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.
